ABOUT
Hi, I'm DebRa
Aunty Debs... That’s what I’ve been called throughout my life. I’ve always been the person people come to for advice. I would listen without judgment, and instead of instructions, I’d give some food for thought to mull over, even when I was in school as a teenager!
Though ‘agony aunt’ seemed a natural role, I also wanted to be a dancer. Only, I wasn’t very tall or very skinny, and back in the 80s, someone of my size and stature in the dance world was unheard of.
So, I decided I'd teach dance instead. Luckily for me, dance had just become part of the PE National Curriculum, and as I loved a variety of sporting activities, I qualified as a PE Teacher.
While at uni, during two of the long summer holidays, I decided to work as a counsellor at Camp Walden, Michigan. This experience nurtured a love of encouraging people, championing them to do well and celebrating achievements. This shaped me massively as a human and a teacher.
You see, my main purpose in life is to help and inspire others.
In the early days, I really enjoyed teaching, making the lessons fun and engaging, and really connecting with the kids in ways they could understand. I was particularly good with the quirky kids, the neurospicy ones who simply learned in different ways. But, after a few years, I became disillusioned with the profession.
So, I decided to go travelling to 'find myself!' I sold my house, quit my job, said goodbye to my husband and bought an around-the-world ticket!
You would have thought that everything would be great, right?
Nope! When I came back, I was the person I was when I left.
I soon found myself in an abusive relationship, which had a major negative impact on my self-worth. I was rubbish at gaining perspective for myself and would often get stuck in a loop of negativity.
I would hit a brick wall of a lack of self-worth, panic attacks and eventually depression, despite reading countless self-help books and taking various personal development courses.I just couldn’t seem to change things.
I’d like to say I got out of it myself. But I didn’t.
When eventually they left me, I had a nervous breakdown.
All of this made me take stock of my life and I realised this could not continue the way it was. I read a book by Louise Hay, called You Can Heal Your Life and followed it to the letter, determined to change things for the better, and over time, I did start to heal, but best of all … I started to love myself.
Imagine my surprise when the first person I really helped was me!
So, I signed up to learn NLP, Coaching, Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy (TM).
I used the new techniques I was learning on myself and… wow!
The results were phenomenal, I wasn’t just healed, I was really starting to LOVE living life again. I had more control over how I would react in scenarios that previously made me stick my head in the sand and dive under the duvet cover for a couple of days.
I loved the power of NLP so much that I wanted to combine it with my love of teaching and help others master this incredible skill so they get a personal transformation AND get to help their clients too!
Last year I researched and developed Quantum Timelines which is an advanced version of Timeline Therapy and has now been implemented into my Fabulously Different NLP+ Practitioner and Fabulously Different NLP+ Master Practitioner.
