I Was Looking For A Magic Wand

I reached out to Lavinia in order to get help with understanding and unpicking the psychology behind my eating habits and weight management.  

I went into this journey totally blind - I was looking for a magic wand. And there turned out to be so much more there than I had anticipated! 

Before our first session I felt apprehensive and excited. After it, I still felt unsure as to what I was getting myself into and was surprised by how much work I had to do. 

Since finishing my coaching series, my relationship with myself is where I have seen the biggest change.  

I realized that being a nurse and everything else that I have worked tirelessly to achieve for years, is not 'me'. In fact, it is my career (something that I am very good at) but nonetheless a badge that I can take off because it doesn't define me.  

My biggest learning was the shift in consciousness that occurred during our series - that what I thought was unconditional love was not and that there is no magic wand. 

As for whether I thought the process was good value or not - I think it was a lot of money to spend on myself, especially as I was so blind as to what the process might entail, and to what it was going to do to me but I believe that it will positively impact on my health and happiness for the rest of my life. And that is priceless. 

We covered a huge amount of 'stuff' together and Lavinia’s professionalism at all times was notable. Even when it may have been hard for her to see me in dark places, she trusted in her expertise - great coaching.

It’s very difficult to put into words how coaching has improved my life as it has impacted all that I am and all that I do.  

I know now that I am at the beginning of my journey and that there is no final destination. I want to take care of myself and I love the new, complete me! Thank you.
