I am so pleased that you are here reading these words that I have written. As I write them I find myself reflecting wider than I thought I would, reflecting on all the things that have lead me here, to building a website to represent what it is that I want to offer to the world.
My journey into leading a life dedicated to being of service began with a journey into meditation. I felt the draw to meditation to help me to be the best version of myself so that I could be of service to others. At the time I was creating educational events for children and teenagers, which was definitely in service of others, however I knew it was not quite what I was meant to be doing. Stepping into meditation enabled me to connect to more parts of me and to find my way, one remembering at a time, into working directly with other people, helping them to progress in some way.
After taking some time out of work to reflect more deeply on the world and the work I wanted to do I began my journey with coaching by beginning to work for a company offering coaching and leadership development. So much happened for me here, connecting deeply to the transformative power of coaching, working with many inspirational coaches, but the most impactful thing being working with my Integral Development Coach, Guy. He helped me make many more connections and learn so much about myself, learning about the Enneagram was a pivotal point in seeing the personality I had constructed for myself. He was my coach, my mentor, my cheerleader, my friend, and my inspiration to follow the path of training to be an Integral Development Coach myself.
It took some time from realising that was the path I wanted to follow to finding myself on my Professional Coaching Course with Thirdspace. In that time I delved deeper into creating and facilitating transformational learning experiences in the area of leadership development, I opened a zero waste shop with some friends, all the while diving deeper into human development and meditation and beginning to offer meditation guidance and mindfulness training. In 2020 I trained to be a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher as a way to help others in this very challenging year, and I continue to find this a very supportive programme for many people.
Vibrantly Tranquil began as a seed of an idea on a meditation retreat I was on in 2018. The coupling of these words meant to me at that time a beautiful place that can be found in meditation practice. The place where you feel deeply grounded, rooted, peaceful and connected to the web of life on earth, and at the same time feel intensely alive, awake, luminous, vibrating with the hum of the universe. As I undertook my year of study to become an Integral Development Coach and guided my coaching clients through bespoke meditations to help them find new possibilities, Vibrantly Tranquil came to also represent a guiding light showing a possible way forward that is aligned with our whole self.
