How did it all begin?
Twenty years ago, while I was working as a catwalk model, I faced a tough personal challenge: I wanted to quit smoking, but just couldn't seem to kick the habit. I remember sharing my frustration with a makeup artist, who kindly handed me the business card of a hypnotherapist on Harley Street. To my surprise, it only took one session with him to stop smoking completely. Encouraged by this success, I went back to work through some other personal barriers that were holding me back. After three sessions, I was so intrigued by the techniques he used that I asked him about them.
He pointed me toward a course with Paul McKenna, which I signed up for, and it truly changed the direction of my life. This experience opened doors for me to train and collaborate with some of the top minds in trauma therapy, like Dr. Gabor Maté, Bessel Van Der Kolk, and Dr. Deepak Chopra. Each step of this journey not only helped me grow personally but also set me on a professional path that I'm deeply passionate about.
What sets your business apart?
I've had the opportunity to train in various approaches for treating trauma, but what really shapes my work is my own life experiences. My mentors have always encouraged me to share these personal stories with my clients. I've found that this helps people feel truly seen and heard. It creates a space where they can feel accepted and know they're not alone. I bring all these aspects into my sessions to connect and support those I work with on a deeper level.
What is the concept behind your business or the problem you’re solving?
Childhood trauma can leave a lasting imprint, showing up in adulthood as limiting beliefs and patterns that negatively impact our lives. My vision is to break down these barriers to healing. I'm committed to making healing accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Moving forward, I aim to create a central hub of self-healing resources that truly enhance people’s lives in meaningful ways. This will be a place where anyone can find the support and tools they need to embark on their healing journey.
What is your brand vision?
At Finding Paradise, we have established a strong foundation with one-on-one sessions and our vision is to embrace a more communal healing approach by introducing one-to-many sessions in the form of online and in-person group workshops. These additions will help us reach more people and make our therapeutic support more accessible. Whether you join us virtually from the comfort of your home or in person for some face-to-face connection, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive space. Our goal is to keep things personal and impactful, ensuring everyone who joins feels part of our healing community. We’re all about connecting more deeply and helping each other grow.
