An author, transformational coach, advocate, and speaker. I’m a survivor turned thriver. Like to call myself a warrior, a fighter. Breaking free and getting liberated from a toxic relationship is not easy. However, with commitment, courage, mental resilience and a clear roadmap, the journey towards freedom can become less tumultuous, more results focused and purpose driven leading to a life you desire.
I was trapped in an abusive marriage with an alcoholic, angry, gas-lighter—a narcissist, for long. I had to find a way to escape and take my children to a safe place. I crafted a blueprint of my journey ahead and started to build a ramp for our freedom. But before getting on the journey, I had to reclaim and rebuild my confidence, resilience, and a continued will to rise. There were roadblocks and challenges on the treacherous journey, but I remained undeterred and kept marching ahead.
With a master’s in social work, a postgraduate course in personnel management, and over thirty plus years as a Human Resources professional in the corporate world, including close to two decades in transformational coaching of employees— I bring expertise and an empathetic approach to each client. Certified as a Business and Life Coach and an Advocate for people of domestic abuse, I am now set up as a full-time transformational coach for women affected by toxic relationships handholding and helping them let go of past traumas, overcome old limited beliefs, change their mental patterns, and transform themselves to a new authentic self so as to live a meaningful life of stability, joy and fulfillment. Just like I did!
Transformational --as I work on the wholeness of the individual---body, mind and soul. Not just one or two aspects of life.
I authored a memoir Leaving - How I Set Myself Free from an Abusive Marriage, which depicts my story of how I escaped, survived, and continued to grow to thrive. Leaving is the empowering narrative of how—buoyed by a re-found belief in myself, developing faith in the universe, getting empowered—I kept moving towards my goal to resurrect myself and my children, and attain the internal freedom I once enjoyed, the sense of home within myself. In this memoir, I lay out the tools and techniques I used as weapons of escape, and which laid a foundation for a triumphant, purpose-driven life. This memoir will present the reader with hope, belief, fervor, and growth.
