What an incredible journey it has been! Despite facing various challenges throughout my life, each obstacle has served to strengthen me and increase my resilience. For close to 35 years, I have been committed to mental health research, and for over 28 years, I have been a dedicated relationship consultant and advocate for survivors of CSA ( child sex abuse). Juggling multiple roles - as an author, project manager, program designer, CSA therapist, and personal development consultant at Through Knowledge Gain Power Ltd - I have developed 11 healing platforms and led impactful workshops.
What motivated me to contribute to community healing? Allow me to recount my journey!
In my former years, I faced racism at primary school and in my neighbourhood, negligent teachers, dyslexia, a lack of consistent guidance, child sex abuse, and being in care, I persevered through it all. I navigated through profound despair, mental health challenges, the pain, and tears, the whole nine yards. As an adult, I faced domestic abuse, emotional abuse, and violence. I have endured heartbreaking losses and health issues like breast cancer, arthritis, and Multiple Sclerosis - and emerged even stronger!
These adversities have moulded me into a symbol of hope, a beacon of inspiration for others!
Despite battling toxic relationships, including with myself, my heart has always been filled with a natural desire for love, unity, and growth. Through a transformative journey, I deepened my bond with the Most High, completely resetting my mindset. Studying mental illnesses, adjusting coping mechanisms, and mastering problem-solving techniques became my mission...
A burning drive to share my knowledge ignited my pursuit of further education in personal development, psychology, and life coaching - a journey filled with passion and purpose! Simultaneously, I worked for the Samaritans, a women's refuge centre, and as a practising JW, I enthusiastically engaged in weekly door-knocking, spreading positivity, fostering empathic connections wherever I went.
This incredible journey sparked my passion to facilitate healing in communities, marking the beginning of my illustrious career over 28 years ago. Through personal trials and professional endeavours, I've gained a profound understanding of trauma and its enduring impact. Having triumphed over seven instances of child abuse, I bring unparalleled empathy and insight to my role. This is my powerful narrative!
