A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Maura and I qualified as a life coach in 2021. My own personal transformational journey began on reaching a significant milestone birthday when I realised I felt very much out of balance in my life. I was tired of pretending to myself and others that I was truly happy and fulfilled. This milestone reflection ignited a new realization in me of what I wanted
my next chapter to look like. It was inevitable that I needed to start making some changes to start living my life true to who I was as a person. I was very disconnected from myself for some time and as a result of feeling this way I started to seek out alternative healing therapies. I met some amazing people on this journey who I now realise showed up exactly at the right time for me. I was always attracted to Louise Hay’s philosophy on how you can heal your life and I started daily journalling to clear out my mind. I believe the affirmations had an enormous positive impact on my thinking and changed my self-talk to a more positive self-love mindset. I was slowly starting to feel more empowered and I was able to identify my own saboteurs both internal and external. The beliefs I had lived with over the years had stopped me living a life true to myself and reaching my full potential. This realization was very empowering and I started to feel so uplifted. It’s important to mention that change is not without fear, as I was leaving the familiarity of my safe haven and l was stepping into the unknown. However once I took that first step, I could feel a sense of relief and my intuition kept nudging me to keep going forward. A door was opening for me and I knew if I didn’t walk through it, I would later have huge regrets for not taking this opportunity. Finally the path to a new self discovery was a mammoth trip to Nepal which I undertook in October 2019 when I completed a ten day hike to the Annapurna Base camp at 4130m. This adventure tested my endurance both mentally and physically at times, but the exhilaration I felt when I reached the top exceeded my expectations. The foothills of the Himalayas were stunningly beautiful and although everyday was challenging with the altitude, the unexpected beauty that emerged made every step worthwhile. I was intrigued with the simplicity of mountain life and how happy these people were with very little material possessions. They were surrounded by the vastness and the beauty of raw nature in abundance. The sense of peace I felt was unfathomable and this experience was for me a vivid insight into what living mindfully could be. It was such a humbling experience for me to be permitted to enter the temple and hear the monks chanting. In hindsight I was truly very grateful to have completed this adventure successfully. It was a reminder that by just putting one foot in front of the other is all that is needed to keep moving forward. To conclude what I have learnt is that all of my experiences have now brought me to where I am today in a much happier place living my life true to myself. I am grateful for all of my life’s lessons and I now see them as blessings as without them I wouldn’t have become the person I am today. I felt a huge sense of compulsion to share my knowledge and also to give back as I appreciated this second chance to build a life I desired. This commitment to help others led me to discovering Kingstown College where I had an amazing journey training to be a life coach with some wonderful people. I would be very happy to offer a free no obligation discovery call to you if you feel that I might be the right partner to help you on your new self-discovery journey. This call will give us both an opportunity to discuss what your needs are. It’s very important for me that we are both comfortable to work together in a partnership that will grow into a lovely relationship where you can feel safe to tell your story. Please feel free to private message me if you wish to take the first step on your journey. My contact details are on the homepage.
