Artist, Adhd Practitioner & Neurodiversity & Inclusion Trainer @Create Heal Transform

Portsmouth, GB

Creativity has always been a part of my life, ever since my mum heard me singing along to the car radio and sent me to singing lessons. I wanted to pursue it for a career but lack of belief in myself meant I ended up going down the ‘normal, sensible’ route, studying psychology & working in the NHS for 12 years at a Secure Forensic Psychiatric Unit.The stress of the job, not living my passions and trauma and loss I experienced in my childhood started to take their toll. I began experiencing the early warning signs of burnout. Insomnia, constant fatigue, and an overwhelming sense of disconnection. Alarmingly, I didn\'t recognise the glaring signs of burnout. I ended up being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, depression, and anxiety. The toll was so severe that I had to step away from work for five excruciating years.Enough was enough and I decided to take control of my health. I delved into personal development, learning about the mind/body connection, holistic healing, subconscious reprogramming.COVID hit. Suddenly, my regular creative outlet of singing was taken away. Creativity was a part of my self care and I needed to find some other way to express myself. Turns out that I’m an artist. The mental clarity, improved mood, innovative ideas, and enhanced focus were undeniable benefits of painting.My own healing journey inspired me to become qualified as a coach, Belief Coding® Instructor & SOMA Breath® Instructor. My recent ADHD & Autism (late) diagnosis also inspired me to become a qualified ADHD Practitioner & Neurodiversity & Inclusion Trainer. I am passionate about educating others on what ADHD and Autism etc really is and the difference in how it presents in individuals because with understanding comes acceptance, inclusion & better support.Going forward I am combining my passions for creativity & holistic wellbeing to help neurodivergent women manage emotional regulation more effectively and reduce RSD.
