I am a survivor of childhood abuse; sexual, physical and emotional. My dad was the perpetrator of the sexual and physical abuse. My mum chose to stay with my dad. As a very young child, I realised I was trapped in a dangerous and dysfunctional situation. At 13 years old, I was raped by a 20-year-old man. I blamed myself for the things that happened to me for many years. After self-harm, two suicide attempts and years of self-loathing, I transformed my life!

I wrote this book to inspire others to follow their dreams, regardless of their past trauma, experiences or perceived limitations.

I am now a brain-based, solution focused Psychotherapist/Clinical Hypnotherapist, Trauma/Resilience Coach, Integrative Health Clinic Owner, Writer, Speaker, Online Course Developer, Business Woman AND I can now add myself to the list of distinguished experts who deliver TEDx Talks!

After a lot of pain early on in my life, I have learnt to thrive and I've most definitely turned my pain into power! I'm grateful for the experiences I've had in my life because they have driven my passion to help/heal/coach others. This passion has turned into my endless energy to succeed and I believe it's the key to my success!

Through this book, I can help YOU to achieve self-love, healing and success too. This book guides you through the process and helps you to reach your worthwhile goals!

Dare to DREAM!
