My story starts long after most of the events that shaped my life took place. It starts with reaching rock bottom and a realization that something in my life had to change.
At this time, I was working for an organisation that did not see and appreciate all the skills and experience that I had to offer. I was over-worked, underpaid, over-stressed and in fact completely burnt out. I felt that I was undeserving of my awesome, loving husband who was the only one keeping me standing.
It was only when I was sitting in a corner of the bathroom, unable to get myself off the floor, crying so much and so long that I couldn’t breathe anymore that I realized how low I was.
A friend of mine introduced me to her kinesiologist (Margaret) and I thought – “what the hell, I have nothing to lose”. I made an appointment for this treatment that I knew absolutely nothing about and started a journey that would completely transform my life.
During the past decade, with Margaret walking besides me, I’ve faced historical family trauma (rejection, physical and emotional abuse), the death of beloved pets and family members, break-ins at our house, car accidents, job changes and starting my own business. I’ve learnt skills to cope with my limiting beliefs of not being good enough and having to do everything perfect to be loved, accepted, and appreciated.
I believe that the holistic therapy offered by Margaret has been the change I needed. There is not just a focus on exploring how bad your childhood was or how bad your current situation is. The focus of our sessions remains on what we can do to make it better, look towards the future while acknowledging the present situation with all the emotions linked to it. Having someone who sees everything from a different angle, from outside of the situation really makes it all work.
I have realized that my sessions every 4-6 weeks are not a luxury, it is absolutely necessary to help me focus on what I can change and to remind me that I am an awesome, strong, beautiful woman who can do anything that I put my mind to.
