I have always had this innate desire to help others.  I can remember as a child always gravitating towards the kids that were being picked on to be friends and volunteering in various capacities as a teenager.  I knew as a teenager that I wanted to enter into the field of social work and stood true to this path.  I firmly believe that my experiences growing up and into young adult hood were put in my path to solidify my purpose of being and doing more.

I was that "heavier set child" and was bullied growing up by my peers.  I was called fat, a pig, told no one would ever date me etc.  Even my family would tell me I had such a pretty face, if only I would lose weight.  I was steered away from modelling and acting because of "my body".  As a teenager, I looked for acceptance and love in the wrong ways.  I never really learned how to properly respect my body.

Throughout all of this, while I struggled with self-esteem and low mood, I also developed an attitude of "I will show them".  I was good at academics and threw myself into school work.  This created an insane perfectionism all with the underlying desire to achieve that acceptance that I so craved.  It also solidified within me that I would live a different life where I wanted anyone and everyone that I came into contact with to feel accepted, to never feel that they weren't good enough, and to feel loved.

I graduated from university with an undergrad in social work and went into the field working Children's Aid.  I then returned to school to obtain my Master's in Social Work and entered into the healthcare field for 14 years.  Within this time frame, I met my husband, was married and had 2 beautiful children.  When I was pregnant with my second child, we had a scare and a difficult pregnancy and delivery.  By the grace of God, he is well and healthy, but following his birth was an all time low in my life.  Looking back now, I know I had Post-Partum depression but at the time I didn't see it.  I turned to food for comfort, was the unhealthiest I've ever been both physically and emotionally.  It was at my 10 year anniversary with my spouse, we went away as a family to Mexico and I surprised him with a renewal of our vows.  I remember what was supposed to be a happy event, being clouded by my emotional state.  And I made a decision on that day to never allow myself to be in this state again.  That my children deserve more and that I deserve more.  I wanted to be the example for my children so that they grow into confident human beings.  Coming back from that, I made significant changes in my health, changed my focus in my career, started my own private practice and reinvested back into myself by aligning with the teachings of Bob Proctor and hiring a coach.  Through this material, I have shifted my core beliefs - I have a greater understanding of the power of the mind and that we truly can achieve anything if we tap into this greater power.  I have a better relationship with myself, with food, as a parent and with my children and I am seeing success in all aspects of my life (personal and professional).  I am co-authoring in a book, I've had podcast interviews and I've started my own company - all due to a shift in my mindset and harnessing the power of the mind and laws of nature.

From this, I founded Be A Diamond Coaching.  I come from 20+ years of experience as a Certified Cognitive Behavioural therapist, personal growth and learning, and graduate of Thinking into Results through the Proctor Gallagher Institute.  This is for the person who is feeling stuck, who feels overwhelmed, who can't seem to find their way, feels without a purpose.  I want to be the light, I want to share and teach others to experience what I have experienced.  That awakening that comes when you step into your purpose, when you light that fire, when you follow your intuition and your path.  I want to create a movement of showing others that they can do and be more, that the only limitations we have are the ones we place on ourselves.
