I Was In A Very Dark Place

When I first connected with Lavinia I was in a very dark place and I was controlled by anxiety.

I was being triggered by my sons and husband daily and spent a lot of my time angry and yelling at them. I needed support with why this was happening and how I could overcome it to become a better mum and wife.

I had never worked with a coach before and was very sceptical about the process because I couldn’t remember much about my childhood and therefore thought it would be impossible to heal from something that wasn’t fresh in my mind.

I didn’t have high expectations – it felt impossible to achieve my goals in such a short period of time – but I was also excited to begin and open to giving it 100%.

I’m a totally different person since completing the three months.

I feel like I can take on and handle whatever life throws at me because I am finally in tune with my body. I’m more present and calm as a mum and wife, I’ve finally been able to set boundaries for the first time in my life and it feels good! The boys are loving the new version of their mummy and hubby is definitely happier to have the woman he first met back.

I surprised myself the most during the series by having the strength to work on what I didn’t like about myself even when I felt like I couldn’t go on. And by being able to sit with my emotions and just feel them - no matter how painful - instead of reaching for the comfort of food or alcohol.

My biggest learning was not only seeing my own worth but also acknowledging and accepting that even though other people’s behaviours can’t be changed, I can control and choose the way that I react to this, which can completely change a situation.

The coaching series was such good value, that I would have paid double to get the same results!

I can’t even put in words how life-changing it was and I will be forever grateful that I had the chance to work with Lavinia. I will be booking my husband in with her partner because the work that they do is life changing and might even save our marriage.

Thank you, Lavinia for helping me to face my demons and to finally be able to be in control of my body and life. My family and I will be forever grateful.
