My Transformation
My business started after I went through a life changing experience. I had always been interested in my own personal growth and read many books on self development. After a while I became a personal development junkie!
In December 2011 my life changed completely. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 progressive breast cancer and my world as I knew it had fell apart.
I had 18 months of treatment and was incredibly fortunate to come through it.
I was heading back to work and thinking about getting my life back on track, when twelve weeks later my kidneys failed. I became extremely poorly for the following twelve months, and moved on to nearly three years on dialysis.
I was fortunate to receive a kidney transplant in July 2017 which has given me the "gift of life".
This brings me to where I am in my life today. I want to help others to find themselves again and be able to live their life to the fullest.
I remember only too well the time my treatment ended and I was told by the NHS to go and 'live my life'. These were very powerful words, however, I was scared, confused and felt very alone not knowing which way to turn. "I had won the battle but I hadn't yet won the war."
When you have endured illness, your life sometimes takes on a whole new meaning, giving you the desire to want to make changes. This is where I want to reach out and transform you to suceed.
Now for the real story.....
The day I received my breast cancer diagnosis is the day everything changed in my life. Hearing those words stopped my world and I felt like I had been hit by a ten tonne truck. All I can remember is how hard I was holding on to my husband's hand, whilst the oncologist continued to talk to me about "it", my feeling was utter fear. I was asked to go away for a few hours and come back for more tests. We went to a Costa coffee shop, which I now think was very strategically placed right outside the breast cancer clinic. Sobbing uncontrollably into my cup of coffee was maybe not a first for the staff to witness.
I returned for painful and invasive tests after which I collapsed. I guess it was right at that time that I suddenly thought about the world I was about to be thrown into. My feeling, panic.
Coming home to tell my two children was the hardest thing I have ever done. I apologised to them and the look on their faces will stay with me for ever, my feeling, guilt.
I then had "the operation" and was told they hadn't got "it" all, so had to go back in and have my breast taken off, feeling, overwhelmed.
This was followed by six rounds of harsh chemotherapy, hair loss, severe sickness and lack of energy, feeling, despair. I joked with the chemo staff that I was going to cartwheel out of the hospital after my last treatment, needless to say this didnt happen. I then moved onto twelve months of IV hormone treatment through a neckline, feeling, exhausted. When all of my treatment was complete, I was told to "get out there and live my life" Great advice but it suddenly hit me that I didn't know how to live my life as I was unsure what my life looked like. feeling, lost, alone and frightened.
It was right at this time that I desperately wanted someone to come to me and say they would help me put my life back together, but I didnt know who that person was, so I fumbled my way forward.
Twelve weeks later my kidneys failed. I was very ill for twelve months and encountered two and a half years on dialysis, feeling, desperation.
Three times a week for four hours being hooked up to a machine was no fun, but a necessary evil. In july 2017 I was incredibly fortunate to receive a kidney transplant from a stranger in Leeds, who wanted to donate his kidney and then walk away, what an amazing person he is. My feeling, gratitude, humbled and lucky.
Fast forward six months and I was suddenly hit with all of the emotions from the last seven years that I had kept buried. It was so bad that I sought help, and thats when I found Rapid Trandformational Therapy. I had a couple of sessions and when I felt the incredible results, I decided to train to become an RTT practitioner to pass on this amazing therapy that had changed my life and me. I am now in a good place and ready to help anyone who is struggling to find their "zest for life", and grow from the journey that they have been on. My feeling, accomplished.
