The purpose of our journey is to restore ourselves to wholeness

Hi, my name is Vickie. I am 45 years old, a devoted wife, and mother to two beautiful children. I am living my best life in a charming coastal village just outside Padstow in Cornwall.

I love nature, blue skies and sunshine, long beach walks, coastal adventures, kayaking, creative arts, meditation and movement. I love to read, photography and spend time with those who I love.

Like you, I’ve walked through the shadows of trauma.

As the eldest of six children, I grew up with a mother with a mental health disorder surrounded by a family history of depression and addiction. By the age of 14, I developed an eating disorder, a struggle that continued into my twenties.

My life changed when I met my husband at 19. I learnt to true meaning of unconditional love. I instantly knew he was my soul mate, people often asked how I knew, and I just did! It was an inner knowing that I could not possibly express with words.

My life took a beautiful turn when I met my husband at 19. He taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. People often asked how I knew he was my soulmate, and the answer was simple: it was an inner knowing, a feeling beyond words.

We celebrated our love with a dream wedding on a picturesque island in Queensland, Australia, surrounded by our dearest friends and family.

Our journey to parenthood was marked by sadness, grief, and loss. As I grappled with my purpose on Earth, I faced some of the darkest moments of my life, even contemplating suicide.

My trauma manifested as self-destructive behavior and chronic health issues. After years of working with children within the education and care systems, my husband and I began exploring different paths to becoming parents. Three years later, we adopted our two wonderful children, both of whom had also experienced early-life trauma.

These experiences have equipped me with the wisdom and empathy to walk this path today.

I have developed a profound desire to share my insights on childhood trauma and its impact on the developing brain. Through creative therapies, neuroscience, and psychotherapy, I offer a comprehensive toolkit to help you understand and heal from psychological, physiological, and emotional wounds. Together, we will develop powerful strategies to overcome feelings of shame and guilt.

No matter what kind of childhood we’ve had, nobody escapes trauma. No matter what kind of trauma we experience as a child, if we haven’t been taught how to live with experiences, these intense feelings will continue to show up unintentionally and we proactively seek them out through our choices of friends, hobbies, careers, and relationships.

In allowing yourself to step into vulnerability, and feel your emotions, you’re not just healing, you’re blooming into the magnificent person you were always destined to be.

If you are tired of feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and your loved ones, if you are searching for answers or sense that something is amiss, I am here to guide you.

Unearthing hidden wounds and stepping into vulnerability can lead to a new, fulfilling life.

Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.

With love and understanding,

Vickie
