You may be thinking to yourself “Why Should I choose Annie?”

 

To help you, I’ll share with you some of my own personal  life experience that I’m able to bring to my Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Life Coaching  clients:

• 23 years experience of working in a corporate environment at Cadbury in Bournville, Birmingham, mainly in Sales, Marketing and Directorate departments. So I’m sure you can imagine the challenges of that – being surrounded by fresh chocolate on a daily basis!
  

• I took a very short break from the workplace to experience the joys of motherhood with my 2 children.

• Shortly afterwards, ever eager to maintain a healthy lifestyle, I set up a small, health related business working from home, which also allowed me the flexibility to work around the demands of a young family.  It was a sharp learning curve in running my own business, but nurtured my entrepreneurial spirit!

• A couple of life-changing conversations then led me to pursue Life Coaching, which I realised I’d already been naturally doing for most of my life anyway.

• I studied and successfully completed my Certificate & Diploma with Newcastle College (a course at that time co-created by top London Life Coach, Fiona Harrold), along with a Certificate from the prestigious Coaching Academy, which led me to the decision to set up my own personal coaching consultancy.

 

• I then qualified as an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner – trained by EFT Master – Karl Dawson).  EFT is not only a superb technique in it’s own right, it’s one of the main tools I use with clients for tackling emotional eating, weight loss,  health and life challenges – it perfectly complements Coaching (See EFT Pages if you want to learn more).

• I feel truly passionate about EFT and Coaching and I’ve coached a variety of professional and personal clients from all walks of life.  What’s just so rewarding for me personally is when clients ring or write to thank me for the amazing impact that EFT or Coaching has had and the difference it’s made to their lives!

• Self-development is important to me and I continually update my skills by reading avidly, attending seminars and training related to Coaching, EFT, Personal Development etc.

• I’ve been a member of “Heart Of England” Toastmasters Club for the last 3 years and I’m currently serving as Vice President of Membership there.

• I endeavour to keep fit and healthy.  In fact I completed my 6th Half Marathon – the “Bupa Great Birmingham Run” in October (2011) and knocked a few minutes off my time for last year.  It’s a great feeling donating money raised from these events to various local and national charities.
  

• My coaching experience has encompassed helping clients with my particular passion and specialism – emotional eating, weight loss and health - but also their work/life balance, addressing their personal issues, making career changes and improving their relationships etc etc.

• My coaching style is relaxed, open, supportive and practical. I want YOU to feel at ease with the coaching process.
