My name is Mary and I am a mother, writer, teacher, coach, survivor and
witness. I grew up in a violent home, and the trauma of seeing mum being
undermined and abused had a huge impact on my life. I'm certain it fired
up my passion to help and inspire others and led me into a career
specialising in leadership, team and personal development. In
particular, I love working with women to explore how we can make a
change in our lives and at times, this means dishing out a bit tough of
love. Too often we put up, shut up, fit in and hide, instead of owning
our power, telling our truth, finding our freedom and creating the
future we deserve. Join me on my journey of self-discovery. Learn how I
come to terms with childhood trauma and confront my biggest fears by
connecting with my inner wisdom, trusting my intuition and finding the
strength to tell my story. I am humbled and comforted to know that there
are so many skilled and committed people who are available to help and
support victims of domestic abuse. Two charities close to my heart are
Solace Women's Aid and The Elm Foundation. If you would like to make a
