Meet Helen
I am a Trauma & Resilience
Coach. I will support you to
Release Trauma To Thrive.
I started nursing in October 1985 and then qualified as a nurse and midwife and moved to Ireland.
I then enjoyed 17 years in the ambulance service in Ireland, I had practiced as an Emergency Medical Technician, Paramedic, Advanced Paramedic, and Paramedic Tutor.
I returned to the UK and worked in Frimley Accident and Emergency Department (pictured left). I will always treasure my happy career times. Then the trauma years began……….
The strain in 2015 was beginning to take its toll. Here I am as a leader. When I look back I had the world on my shoulders with never ending workload, constant guilt that I wasn’t doing enough yet I was working from early morning to late at night and still had 2 hours driving each day.
It was about to get a lot worse…
Between 2015 and 2021 chronic stress, volume of work, team dynamics, too much fire fighting and too many meetings, alongside major events which took their toll on my body and mind.
I endedup with hair loss, high blood pressure and burnt out in 2021.
All these work related factors are common in every workplace and I urge everyone to put yourself first.
Work life balance is so key to physical and mental health.
But, trauma related behaviours can put a further block on looking after yourself such as: people pleasing, perfectionism, imposter syndrome………..familiar?
‘I can and I will’
My Next Step.
‘I can and I will’
I began a journey of self-discovery and understanding about how my thoughts were controlling my negative decline due to the environment I was in. I had to resign it was the only answer. I wasn’t quite free yet!
Impact of 30 years.
I found I was triggered by lots of things, people and places. I couldn’t get certain events out of my head, anger, deep sadness, and fear of losing my true identity. I had lost her along the way.
I had not really been myself probably since teenage years. A series of events compiled on top of each other took its toll over 30 years had to be unravelled.
2022: My Awakening
‘I can and I will’
I began a journey of self-development and personal growth.
I met some wonderful people who guided me back to myself with Go M.A.D Thinking methodology for the conscious mind alongside Neuro Linguistic Programming, Timeline Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and Havening for the unconscious mind healing.
How did I free myself from the past?
‘I can and I will’
I used all the techniques, NLP, Timeline Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Havening to shed the bag of chains from 30 years off my back. With each cleansing technique I had more and more releases of trauma. Some more powerful than others yet I still moved forward and became more calm, relaxed and free.
Outcome
‘I can and I will’
I no longer carry triggers to situations or events. I have no emotional connection to traumatic events that happened to me. I feel lighter, stronger, free.
The biggest impact for me is experiencing PEACE in my body and mind. I keep each memory and can recall them but no negative attachments are left. I am free to be me!
What did that outcome enable me to achieve?
‘I can and I will’
All this personal work enabled me to take the biggest decision to leave NHS work behind me so I left the nursing register in March 2024.
I am free to focus on my business 100%.
That allows me to do what I am most passionate about and that is to help others release their trauma and thrive.
Making big decisions needs a clear head to focus on, and clarity of the future goals and we can’t have that until we release the past.
Are you ready to be free of that bag of chains?
‘I can and I will’
So are you ready to work with me and I can support you to be free of trauma, free of the past and enable you to build your future focus with the excitement I now have every day!
