It's a real buzz empowering other people.  I call myself The Mind Body and Soul Coach and love witnessing people achieve their dreams and overcome difficulties swiftly and for the long term. 

We are all unique with our own way of facing (or avoiding) life's challenges.

We have an energy body as well as a physical body.  I'm passionate about total well-being inside and out, Mind Body and Soul, and living a life authentic and true to oneself.  Being a human being, rather than just a human doing; staying in touch with our deepest self, beyond ego, consciousness and unconsciousness ... pure energy beings.

Spanning over 25 years, I started work as a secretary at BBC-TV, film, advertising and design companies; helped out with my ex-husband's clothing business; became a professional dancer, actress, jazz dance teacher and choreographer including fashion shows for international designers, hairdressers, clubs in London, Europe and NYC.  Before the words 'Personal Trainer' were invented, my very first 'Personal dance performance' clients were singers Paul Young, Bananarama, and Pepsi & Shirley.  I taught Speech & Drama to children and special needs groups; directed and hoisted people up onto the stage and Boardroom as confident performers and presenters; hosted drama clubs at schools and courses, and themed children's parties ("Partyplay unique children's drama parties").

People tell me I "walk the talk", look healthy and young for my age.   After decades of experience teaching bodies, I fancied empowering people in more ways as well as physically and performance.  Over the next 4 years, I became a Reiki Healer, NLP Practitioner, and Life Coach.  Some of the training was intensive and uncomfortable, but the results are amazing.  Most clients also need me to be clued up enough to advise them on dietary choices and seeing through the advertising whitewash and hype, how to recognise and avoid toxins and generally be a lifestyle longevity motor-mouth - after all, most people want to stay young, avoid pain and the big diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.  Don't we all prefer lots of energy and a positive outlook on life?!  I also enjoy ongoing home study and attending various workshops and seminars; and currently also raise funds on bahalf of Cancer Research UK.

Born in Manila, Phillipines, I love hot weather and the sea.  Years ago, I hit rock bottom - not for the first time.  The place I ran away to was the sea-side, where I grew my hair long and kept as physically fit and mentally alert as possible - continuing with my particular brand of survival fight or flight tactics!  It helped to pursue creative pastimes (acting, choreography), attend lots of live performance and music gigs and live where I felt safe at last.  Sound familiar?

I returned to London 6 years later and had my first experience of Energy Healing and thought, "WOW!  I'd love to do that!" - but through curtains of tears!  I clearly wasn't strong enough to handle it (ie. becoming a Healer) 10 years ago and was also raising two children without family support.

My empathy as a coach, teacher and healer comes from experiences of loneliness, desperation, poverty, worthlessness, abandonment, homelessness... and then some.  "Help!  Why is this happening," I used to ask myself, "Why Me?!"  Eventually, I found solutions through amazing books, people and mentors and learnt how to tap into personal strengths within...  Isn't it amazing what help there is and within ourselves, too?  Thank-you, Universe.

One of the questions I ask people after 'What do you want?' is, 'What do you want to keep - yet maybe take for granted'?  This is especially important in today's world of clever advertising, bad news programmes, Want More, Have More (time, love, money, property, career advancement, slimness, Brad Pit muscle, this season's must-have handbag or holiday, better relationships, success etc).  And many people live in the future or the past (worrying or remembering) but forget how to enjoy Now, their PRESENT.

My clients are from all walks of life, from teenagers to 70-plus, able-bodied or not (yet); some tell me they're happy yet want more or feel they're missing something.  I get a kick out of helping them define what they want or need and solutions that feel right for them.  For some, that could even mean discovering what makes them "always want more" and dealing with that!

Wishing you your highest good for all to benefit, Mind Body and Soul, and looking forward to hearing from you.
