I got divorced in 2001 after a marriage of 25-years and two grown up sons. I had no help throughout the divorce nor the recovery process.

I had been a stay-at-home mum or worked very part-time for most of my marriage. Just after my youngest son started school and I went back to work, I was diagnosed with MS. I was told I might lose mental faculties s well as physical. So I embarked on another degree in Psychology quickly followed by a PhD. My husband didn't like the fact I was now more qualified so he got a girlfriend to massage his ego.

During my marriage I had walked in my husband's shadow. Now it was my time to shine. And shine I did. Once divorced I started working in academia and got rapid promotion from junior lecturer to senior manager. That's when I started training as a coach and used it every day with staff and students. I knew that was my calling.

I still try to learn something new every year and now I truly have a 360 approach to marriage, divorce and life after divorce. I truly can help people reach the right decision from a position of deeper knowledge and understanding of themselves and their relationships.
