Warrior Women Coaching

I am a Health Coach and Hypnotherapist

 Are you a dog or cat person?

I have both, a cat called Chicken and a wee dog named Mavis. Both rescue animals.

 My friends would say I am…

I’d like to think they would say that I won’t let my friends talk poorly of themselves, self-talk needs to be positive and reaffirming. I did put the question to my friends and I only got cheeky answers.

 The best advice I ever received was?

There is a path up every mountain, sometimes you just have to take it slow or climb over things to get there.

 What would you buy if money was no object?

I would buy a building to create a women’s wellness centre, where women can get all sorts of health care at low cost or free.

 Local coffee haunt?

Hakuna Matata Cafe has great coffee and service, I’d have to say it’s my grown-up clubhouse.

 Favourite takeaway?

Hot chips, with lots of salt and maybe some garlic butter.

 The shop you can’t walk past is...?

An Op shop, I love the thrill of finding a bargain or a vintage piece.

 What’s the most thoughtful gift you’ve ever received?

When I was in my early 20s every day on the way to work I passed an antique shop and it had a beautiful china tea set in the window but it was out of my price range. One day I arrived at work to find it on my desk. My partner had brought the set, even though we struggled financially with building a business and two young kids. I still have it and use it in my office today.

 Where is your happy holiday place?

I am a mad keen tramper, so anywhere in the backcountry or up a mountain, that’s where I recharge.

 What favourite programme or series currently watching?

I just finished “Working Moms”. It’s funny because we all feel like that sometimes. Watch it, you will see what I mean.
