About me
My real rebound well qualifications is my lifelong journey for self identity and a sense of purpose amidst sometimes overwhelming circumstances and a real need to make sense of series of experiences that quite frankly threatened to overwhelm. I now know there are people out there who get that. I had been searching for direction and a break from the endless treadmill of life/s difficulties which barely left time to find out well anything of the real questions i needed answering. I just needed a break to bring all aspects of my life into balance
The break came with permission to down tools, which was with the diagnosis of aggressive cancer. Hardly the break you might think, but that finally forced to cut myself some slack.…they do say be careful what you wish for. Suddenly forced to confront my mortality.. I examined the idea and it seemed to boil down to one final theme..as I faced the big question (for me)…was I really going to check out without ..a sense of fullfilment , ..of doing what I came to do? whatever that was, ………….This turned out to be what I feared most when the chips were down.
That was the new beginning of getting serious about…whoever the heck I was going to be and do whatever the heck i was going to spend the rest of my life in doing. The beginning of becoming.
Listening to myself ..my doubts, fears and eventually my hope, was the beginning of self exploration and discovery really began…Now years later I can share my passion and what I learnt in real application, in seeking the answers to my life and asking the difficult questions and facing the future with faith,

Holistic Well-being Coaching
Rebound Well
Bounce-Back Wellbeing
What’s unique about my coaching style is that it centres on Self kindness and re-connecting with and listening to yourself and loving and accept yourself. That doesn’t mean no changes are desirable. It is easy to experience feelings of inadequacy, and self doubt when we cant make changes or meet challenges we feel we should cope better, or use to be able to. Most of us just need to cut ourself some slack.
When unexpected changes and reverses come, motivation, self identity, and and confidence can take a beating and leave us emotionally, physically, or spiritual, depleted, or even socially disconnected and mentally vulnerable.
Rebound-Well Coaching is based not on experience not just study and learning. self experimentation, spiritual guidance and all borne out of personal necessity to get through difficult times…we all have them.
Rebound Well provides a safe place or space to start your own rebound well journey and begin to develop and use strategies and tools for negotiating your personal experience, and developing bounce back ability. This is what i believe we all need to thrive at all times and to be able to rebound well in difficult circumstances.
