Hello Beautiful Soul…
Do you:
doubt and question your skills, knowledge and expertise even though you have proof of your success?
attribute your success to luck or external factors instead of your own abilities?
fear that others will find out that you’re not as competent as you think you are, and avoid situations where you might have people ask you questions?
work excessively hard, seeking constant validation and perfection, to prove your worth to yourself and others?
find it hard to accept compliments and deflect them to others?
compare yourself to others believing they’re more talented and able than you?
set yourself unrealistic standards and see anything less than perfect as a failure?
If you answered Yes to 2 or more, it’s time that you take back control and gain mastery over your Impostor.
And you have come to the right place for support!
Impostor Syndrome may be rooted in your early experiences, as it often finds its origins in families where crucial support, effective communication, and nurturing individual growth were lacking.
These environments are often marked by stringent rules and persistent conflicts, where as a child, you felt an overwhelming need to please others within your family dynamic.
Creating a False Self for Validation
Growing up feeling emotionally insecure, you might have subconsciously been compelled to want to be someone else, developing a false sense of self, in order to be validated. The false sense of self often carries into adulthood that consequently creates stronger feelings of insecurity and often manifests as impostor feelings, especially as you become successful.
The Weight of External Validation
You often find yourself excessively concerned about how others perceive you. This brings up feelings of shame and unworthiness of your own success. To avoid these feelings, you overextend yourself to please other people.
The Struggle for Authenticity
You feel disconnected from your true self as you have had to adopt a false persona to navigate the demands of the outside world seeking affirmations from others to elevate your self-esteem. Because this gives you a sense of safety and belonging.
A Fragile Self-Esteem Balancing Act
Maintaining your self-esteem and confidence becomes challenging when you experience a absence of recognition or validation from others, leading to a downward spiral into feelings of shame and inadequacy.
Defensive Strategies as Shields
You might become defensive in order to shield yourself from low self-esteem.
Overcoming Impostor Syndrome through Inner Child Healing
Understanding the link between childhood developmental trauma and impostor syndrome can be the first step towards healing and finding your authentic self.
Healing your inner child can be a powerful path to overcoming impostor syndrome.
By addressing and nurturing the emotional wounds and unmet needs from your past, you can reclaim a sense of self-worth and authenticity.
As you heal the inner child within you, you begin to release the self-doubt and fear that fuel impostor syndrome.
This process allows you to cultivate a stronger, more confident self-image, making it easier to acknowledge your accomplishments and embrace your true capabilities without the constant fear of being exposed as a fraud.
Ultimately, healing your inner child can lead to a profound transformation, enabling you to step into your true potential with self-assurance and self-acceptance.

Join me in transcending the limitations of impostor syndrome and embracing your mastery as a woman leader. Your leadership journey is about to reach new heights as you break free from the chains of self-doubt and step into the fullness of your potential.
You may have tried counselling, CBT, therapy, or coaching for overcoming perfectionism or Imposter’s Syndrome but none of them seems to be working well for many reasons.
Maybe you weren’t ready or feel safe to open up.
Maybe you couldn’t follow through due to competing demands.
Or you may even blame yourself and think there must be something wrong with you.
You may have also done it on your own, through self-help resources - yoga, meditation, journaling, exercises, even courses, but something is still missing.
You just couldn’t put your finger on whatever it was but at the back of your mind, you think that ‘there must be something out there that can help me’.
And you are right!
Harmony facilitates and provides the space that can fully and safely support you to heal your inner child by:
Reconnecting with your body and soul
I will show you how to tune in and truly listen to what your body and inner self are telling you. By cultivating this deep connection, you can recognise the signs of overwhelm and take proactive steps to prevent it.
Finding balance and switching off
I will guide you to give yourself permission to switch off and recharge, and embrace moments of rest and relaxation, allowing your mind and body to rejuvenate so that you can create a healthy balance between work and personal life is essential for your overall well-being.
Setting empowering boundaries
I will guide you to set boundaries that honour your needs and capacities. By clearly defining what you can manage, you create a space that is conducive to your own well-being. So that you only say Yes to demands and activities that align with your values and goals.
Reducing stress and managing expectations
I will show you how to effectively manage your expectations and responsibilities to minimise stress levels, to enable you create the space and freedom to be fully present in your commitments and relationships.
Nurturing your inner child, relationships and passions, and making time for fun and playfulness
I will guide you to make room for the important things in life - your loved ones, friends, and hobbies; nurture meaningful connections and engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfilment.
By reconnecting with yourself, setting boundaries, and managing responsibilities, you create a harmonious and fulfilling life where you can thrive in all aspects.
Together we can connect the dots and get to the roots of these issues through working with your inner child, shadows and triggers.
You emerge on the other side feeling lighter, more expansive and more spacious.
You can get clarity, focus clearly and make better decisions.
I use multi-modalities in my work - Compassionate Inquiry, the BRIDGE and Conscious Connected Breathwork are powerful approaches in releasing trauma, unconscious patterns and childhood conditioning.
They lead us to find the root cause of your issues that keeps you in unconscious, unhealthy and toxic patterns of thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that affect how you see yourself and the world around you.
The methods employ a combination of mind-body psychotherapeutic healing approaches that slowly reveals the truth beneath the appearance that you present to the outside world in your life.
It enables you to reach and connect with your subconscious, emotions and physical body sensations, get to the truth, and release layers of childhood trauma.
It goes further and deeper than talking therapy, and it’s not just about changing your thoughts and behaviours.
As each layer is gently peeled off, the true sense of self can begin to emerge.
This means you get to see:
the truth about past situations that have been impacting you negatively
yourself in a different light
the changes you can make to improve your situation, life and relationships.
The Harmony approach:
Facilitates the processing of inner child healing, releasing past trauma and guiding you towards present moment integration.
Opens doors for breakthroughs, healing, and personal growth as you wholeheartedly embrace the journey.
Brings a profound sense of spaciousness within your body and expands your mental awareness as you release what no longer serves you.
Enhances and deepens your overall awareness, potentially guiding you towards accessing higher levels of consciousness.
Serves as a conduit to tap into your body wisdom and intuition, empowering you to cultivate self-trust and embrace your innate wisdom.
During each session, you will experience a safe and supportive space where you can delve into your inner world and journey towards the core of your challenges.
With gentle guidance, we will uncover the root causes of your issues, allowing you to release and heal.
By the end of the session, you can anticipate a sense of lightness, freedom, and self-compassion, as you cultivate a deeper understanding and kindness towards yourself.
These senses will extend to your close relationships, and will create and nourish a warm and loving connection with your loved ones.
