I love it because I genuinely like getting to know people and understanding them so I know what makes them unique.

Tell us about your life before the venture/ leading up to your venture?
Before I started my business I knew what I didn’t want to do. However at the same time I very much did not know what I wanted to do either. It was almost like a losing battle however the seed to do my own business was planted the first week I started my first job at the age of 18 when I started my undergraduate studies.I very quickly knew I did not want to be working for someone else. I was the first in my family to go to university, as my mum is a single parent there was no choice but to work and support each other as a family.
I worked part time throughout all of my studies. It was an adventure and a struggle at the same time! 5 years later, after completing my undergraduate studies and masters I was struggling to get a full time job for a solid 2 years and the first job I was offered was in Cambridge. I had to do the one thing I did not want to do – move from Edinburgh. The experience was eye opening. I would not have been able to do it without the support of my family.
I learned a lot about myself and met some amazing people along the way. While I was there I made a promise to myself that one day when I move back home to Edinburgh I will invest in myself and start my own business, something for me. The journey was long because I got a job in Stirling. I was extremely grateful even though I had to travel 2 hours to and from work every single day! This helped me focus on what I really wanted to do with my life. So, I set my goals to have work close to home so I could easily spend time on my business after work. With some luck and a lot of manifestation my goal was accomplished.I got a job in Edinburgh in December 2021.
We moved house in April 2022. We moved from the house where we had final memories with my dad who passed away in 2005. For the first time I opened up about our loss as a family and shared my story to inspire others. Moving house was a huge challenge but one I was better equipped to handle with new resources. I signed up for my NLP masters course in February 2022. I was adamant to keep learning and growing towards my goal of starting my own business.
I am now living 10 minutes away from work! The consistency in working on my mindset and remaining at root cause for my problems has hugely helped me respond better to situations where I would honestly have just crumbled in the past.
I am now certified as a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and NLP+® . It is a huge blessing. Since investing in myself my life has changed. I have not looked back since!
Tell us something about your organization. What is it about and how is it helpful for people?
My organisation is for people who know they have more to bring to the table. They know they have so much more to do in this world, they just need the right opportunities, guidance and support to help them live to their true potential.
I use NLP to help people find their purpose so they can feel excited and happy, in their career or business by helping them uncover the tools and resources they already have within themselves, to grow in all areas of their lives.
What has been the response of the consumers towards your venture?
I am proud to say that previous customers have successfully started their businesses to get paying clients. They are now offering their services and growing their businesses with confidence through specific goals to help them prioritise their life in accordance to their values.
A recent client has had a huge transformation in her health through the work we have done. They are now in control of their emotions and aware of the patterns triggering their symptoms. They are on their way to stopping medication to control the pain in their jaw which is an life changing result!
Another client has also started her own business and now has paying clients. She is using her skills and capacities to help others while supporting her family. Despite so many setbacks her resilience to continue to work on her own mindset has led to a massive change in her relationship which is amazing.
How has your life changed because of your venture?
The consistent work on my mindset as a coach has truly transformed my life for the better. I have used the NLP techniques to push myself out of my comfort zone. This has helped in my work, my business, family and social situations. My communication has improved and I am expressing myself and open to sharing my story to help others. I was the person who used to only listen to others, motivating them with encouraging words. Deep down, I would keep my issues to myself. Now I am no longer afraid to express how I feel and share my learnings to help others.
I know my values in all areas of my life and knowing my unconscious motivators has helped me make subtle changes to bring massive results. I know how easy it is to set goals. I am always looking for the easiest, quickest way to achieve my outcome because I know how it truly feels to set a goal unconsciously and achieve it with a lot of ease!
I am confident in myself and my passion to help others has grown even more now that I have the tools and resources to help myself.
I know I can offer these and so much more to help others in similar situations.
