Born and raised in a Christian family, I turned to God early in life. Though I learned a lot about Him through the Bible, I didn't always hear Him clearly, and I always longed to connect with Him on a deeper level.

Life wasn't always smooth sailing, and over time, a lot of other voices began to take up more and more space in my mind, spirit, and emotions. Throughout my teens and twenties, I suffered from deep-seated rejection and shame, leading to self-hatred and even suicidal thoughts. Somehow, I held on to my faith in God and experienced wonderful things with Him at times, but still... life was a struggle.

In my late twenties, my mental health plummeted. I found myself in a dark place of depression, with severe symptoms of anxiety, sleeplessness, and complete exhaustion.

In my desperation, I looked for practical solutions at hand. My doctor prescribed some medication, which helped me sleep and regain my strength. I also adopted various coping strategies, ranging from a healthy diet and gentle exercise to intentionally doing things that brought me joy. This season taught me the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and setting good boundaries. Slowly but surely, I started to get better and became deeply passionate about helping others like myself.

In 2018, I officially became a certified life coach* and began coaching people on their path to wholeness. Although my clients were satisfied, I grew increasingly frustrated. The coaching techniques were effective in helping people adjust their lifestyles, but they never addressed the core issues of stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm—neither for my clients nor for myself.

I realised that I needed to dig deeper into the roots of my emotional health. Growing up, I had never learned how to deal with my emotions, and I desperately needed help! One day, I was introduced to The Compassion Method TM by Laura Duncan. A new world opened up to me as I began connecting with my emotions instead of suppressing them, speaking kindly to myself, and bringing compassion to the places of my heart where I felt pain. As I treated myself with love and understanding, my relationship with myself completely shifted, and I experienced deep emotional healing. This beautiful approach to emotional health continues to shape both my personal life and my coaching practice. But there was more to come.

In 2024, God reconnected me with a Christian inner healing coach I had met a few years earlier. He helped me understand that many of the symptoms of anxiety I was still experiencing were not just emotional but also spiritual. Although I had grown up in church, I had never fully realized how much the devil can mess with our lives! What followed was the most intense and wonderful process of deliverance and inner transformation. As God led me into the very depths of my soul, He revealed places of brokenness and spiritual bondage. With the help of various people, I was empowered to take back what the enemy had stolen—not only from me but also from my family bloodline. The freedom and inner healing that took place were unbelievable and lasting. Besides, this process has equipped me with a sharper discernment, tools and experience in deliverance and inner healing with God. 

As I look back, I am amazed at how God has taken the many broken places in my life and made something beautiful out of them. Every stage of my journey has enriched me with specific understanding, wisdom and skills which I bring to my coaching sessions. It is now my privilege to coach people from various backgrounds towards a life that is deeply connected to God, full of purpose and wholeness.
