Hello! I'm delighted that you have come to visit us! Please take your time and ask questions if you need to. I am the Founder of 'The Human Experience Coach', a world-wide Coaching business. I help people, just like you, to experience their true and authentic self in three powerful parts of life:
- Their Relationship with Food & Eating
- Their Relationship with Themselves
- Their Relationship with Another
I began coaching individuals and groups in health and wellness over twenty years ago using mostly diet and exercise programs. After two years I could see that some people struggled with the programs and others weren't achieving the results they wanted. I began to look deeper and saw the person behind the façade. I saw the frustration, the disappointment, the self-judgement, the shame, the poor body image and more. I was convinced there had to be more to this than just diet and exercise!
​
This led me down the path of studying Life Coaching in 2011 and I saw that I was right. A few years later, I stumbled across 'The Institute for the Psychology of Eating' and studied their Coach Certification in 2018. It was here that I learnt the important connection between Food, Eating and how we live our life. I saw at a deeper level now why diet and exercise programs are ineffective. In 2020 I was invited to return to The Coaching Institute to embark on the Professional Coach Program. In 2023 I began studying again to become a Certified Nutritionist.
​
I now coach world-wide showing people how to enjoy food and eating, to let go of chronic dieting and eating challenges, to have a more loving self image, to enjoy their life and who they are even more and to experience renewed closeness passion in their relationships. I have also developed program for couples called, "Emotionally Intimate Relationships" and a program for Men called, "Being Men - Take to Journey."
​
This is an exciting life! We can create the life we desire. We can Awaken Our Best!
I look forward to welcoming you in one of our Coaching Programs soon.
