I Was Struggling To Love And Accept Myself Fully

When we first connected, I was feeling overwhelmed, and was struggling to love and accept myself fully. I was reactive and easily triggered at home with our children due to patterns from my childhood.

Before our first session together, I felt very excited and a bit nervous. I was ready to look deeply and unveil things from the past that were impacting me and my family’s life.

After the first session I felt supported, seen and understood. I was really excited to keep going with this work and in the end, it flew by and I wanted to keep going!

My commitment to doing the work was what surprised me the most during our time together. I took the time needed each week to really think and write and feel and process. I took it seriously and invited the feelings, and I was open to the process, and ready for change. Since coaching, I now feel an overall sense of greater calm and connection with my family.

My biggest learning was inner parenting. This is such a loving and compassionate practice. I still forget to do it, but every time I remember, it feels so comforting and so validating.

I think the coaching series was good value, given what I got out of it and I absolutely loved, loved, loved working with Lavinia. She was the first person I had worked with that I felt comfortable to be honest with, without fear of being judged.

I felt seen and supported by Lavinia and I cherish the work she helped me do. I am so grateful for her guidance and support and I hope that we can one day work together again - she brought a lot of light into my life!!
