Hello love, I'm Beth
A nature based Mind & Movement Coach, Mentor, Yoga Facilitator, Meditation Guide & Trainee Counsellor.
I've tried to cut title that down but, just like you, I'm a multi-faceted human being!
​
Growing up, I always wanted to help people feel better, so I became a teacher.
​
It was great, I lived in exciting places, taught brilliant small humans, mentored and coached trainees and my teaching team. Then life had other plans...
About my background...
I come from a long line of teachers and married into an even longer one! Teaching is very much in my blood and I'm pretty good at it (yes, that was a gentle horn toot - they get easier with practise!).
​
As I climbed the rungs of the ladder, I realised that although I loved being in the classroom, what really lit me up was mentoring and coaching other teachers.
​
Unfortunately, my body had a bit of a melt down at this point as I was balancing (or not) a heavy teaching schedule with leading a team, running courses for a local research project, supporting other teams and trying to have a life. Add in a couple of really not fun (at that point, undiagnosed) health conditions and burnout hit!
​
So I took brave, gentle action and put my health first. I retrained, went back to nannying to bring in an income and started supporting others who had also hit rock bottom.
A deep realization struck: Our health and wellbeing doesn't have to come last.
While I'd love to say life has been sunshine and roses since that tricky time, let's be real - we don't live in an Instagram perfect life where we all have time (and money) to make green smoothies every morning, have a 4 hour morning routine and glide to a job that brings us light and joy in every moment. I mean, if you do then I'm blooming thrilled for you and would like to know your secrets. But for us mere mortals, we need someone who's a little bit more straight talking (sorry, I'm Northern).
​
The stuff that I walk through with people comes in all shapes and sizes, because life comes in all shapes and sizes!
​
Sometimes we need a listening ear to help us figure out what step to take next in our career, sometimes we need someone to help us make a plan of action and follow through. Sometimes we need someone to quite literally walk beside us and just listen (did I mention I'm training to be a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor?)
​
Whatever your stuff is, I'm wholeheartedly here for it.
One Thing I Believe in is That...
Destiny is not preordained; it's what we make of the choices we're brave enough to take.
