My Anxiety and Overwhelm Were Affecting My Kids

I had been aware for a few years that I often struggled with feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. When I more recently became aware of how much this was affecting my kids and my husband, I realized that working on releasing feelings from the body (something I had never done before despite working with many coaches on a cognitive level) was the missing piece of the puzzle I was looking for!

Before our first session together, I felt nervous as I didn’t know what Lavinia would be like and was worried I wouldn’t feel safe enough to open up and be assertive about my needs. She put me at ease straight away however, and I felt reassured that I was doing the right thing. I liked the fact that she asked what I wanted to get out of the sessions - I felt very seen and heard.

My life has improved massively since my sessions with Lavinia! The biggest thing I have learnt is that when I’m triggered, it’s inner child me and not adult me and that this trigger can be ‘untriggered’ by ‘doing the work’. It’s not a quick fix but the results are absolutely amazing!

I surprised myself the most during the series by how confident I’ve become now at explaining what I feel I need to work on. I’ve also learnt to take advice as kindness instead of criticism.

My biggest learning was that we can rewire our brains! And that through modelling this, we can help others so much! We don’t have to stay in the suffering - we can do so much to overcome this!

I absolutely think that the coaching sessions were good value, they were worth every penny! I’d highly recommend this to anyone! This is truly life-changing! It’s the full package. You won’t need to go to coach after coach after working with Lavinia, she’ll teach you all the tools you need! A massive thank you…
