A private reflection...

I have been working with this client since February of this year and to say she has transformed in that time is quite an understatement!

I know when I was going through my initial journey I found it really comforting and inspirational to read the REAL and HONEST reflections of others...

Here is her reflection....certainly honest, real and inspiring! This woman is truly blossoming into the beautiful, calm and truly at peace soul I saw in her from the beginning.

Thanks F for sharing with us!

Together on the journey always!

Mwah! xoxoxo

"When I first started my sessions with Bridget I thought to myself, “What can this young thing, who has probably never been overweight in her life, teach me? I know all the right things to eat etc, I know I should exercise regularly, I know I should have limited calories and eat certain foods each week. I know all this stuff - I just don’t stick with it. I’ve been there, done that. How can she help me?” I had, however, just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and following the advice of my doctor I thought I’d give it another go, after all, what did I have to lose? As it turned out, nothing to lose and an immense amount to gain!

After a few sessions with Bridget, I realised if I ever wanted to achieve lasting better health, I needed to change me – the way I thought about myself- more than I needed to change how I ate. I was my own worst enemy. I had tried all the weight loss programs - I would lose weight and then give up, rapidly going back to my bad habits. I would end up putting on more than I had lost. I didn’t have good self-esteem, despite my outwardly confident and competent exterior. As Bridget pointed out, I needed to look inside, rather than outside, for reasons for my lack of follow through.

The thing that is different about Bridget’s guidance is that she focuses on the positive - what you can do, what you can eat, who you can become. She has gently led me through various stages of self-realisation to this point now, where I am a much happier person than I was. Each day now seems to have more purpose and focus.

I start the day with my morning walk which I have grown to love – it just makes me feel great! I know I can cope happily with whatever the day throws at me if I have started the day with a walk – could be the endorphins, the increased blood flow or the fresh morning air - I’m not sure which but I have much more energy all day and I’m truly happier than when I don’t walk. I eat better, more balanced meals and I eat more often, which was a bit of a bonus. Along the way I have lost around 11 kilos and still have that much more to go, but I know that, even though it is taking me some time to reach my goals, I will keep going. It has been slow and steady and achievable. It has also been very life affirming.

Bridget has also introduced me to some other great life teachers, through books we have shared, and this has further helped me to be happier in the skin I am in. Bridget truly does live what she teaches and is quite inspirational. "
