Empowering women and changing lives
While I love to think of myself as a Wonder Woman type Superhero, I know that as girls and women, we are generally physically weaker and shorter than our male counterparts, the type of violence and threat we face can be quite different to those of men. According to the Metropolitan Police, in my local area of Surrey/South West London, reported rape cases have tripled in some areas while every other crime has decreased over the past seven years.
Nearby Croydon town centre, which has one of the highest crime rates in London, the monthly rate of reported sexual offences has increased dramatically by 192%, while in leafy and affluent Richmond it has gone up by a startling 236%. Overall, the number of reported rapes in 2010/2011 was 693 in south west London, doubling to 1,385 in 2016/2017. This heavily contrasts the rest of crime in south west London which has decreased on average by 7%, with significant decreases in burglary, criminal damage and drugs, while the number of reported rape cases climbs year on year.
While I am not one for scare tactics, these shocking figures are exactly the reason we are holding this event. Now more than ever we need to be aware of the danger signs and minimise the risk of attack. With further statistics showing that 50% of women will be subject to an attack or sexual assault in their lifetime, please don't wait until it's too late.
I believe the saying ‘your life flashes before your eyes’ is actually our brain desperately searching for a point of reference of when we have experienced that event before; it’s searching for a solution. So, our life doesn’t flash before our eyes, but our previous experiences and knowledge does. It can be impossible to find a solution if we have never been in that situation previously or at least seen something that vaguely relates to it.
In this 3-hour workshop we will put the balance back in your favour by making you aware of the possible dangers and showing you how to overcome them. It’s more than just knowing how to fight or escape a physical attack; you will also learn to think in terms of dangers, options and choices, allowing you to remain calmer and stay in control.

Do you ever feel stuck and unsure how to move forward?
In today’s world we are increasingly under pressure to conform, to be a ‘perfect’ mother, wife, employee and friend. The issue isn’t the different hats we wear or the labels we give ourselves, it’s that our goals, hopes and dreams often become long distant memories. Do you remember what your dreams were before life happened? Sadly, many of us only awaken as a result of life changing events. Suffering through a serious illness, divorce, redundancy or loss of a loved one gives us the sad realisation that we haven’t quite achieved our dreams, we are not living the life we had in mind, no longer have that excitement in our bellies or are not in the quality relationship we deserve. Can you just imagine for a moment what it would be like to let go of fear and live a life you truly desire? |

After years of dragging around a full back pack of emotions, I now have an empty pack, for years I have tried to dump, trying Reiki and Crystal treatment which were all short term fixes and my emotions would creep back.
I first meet with Sue 6 weeks ago when I was at breaking point at my first session and have not looked back since, I walked out feeling lighter and ready to start the new me. It’s a weird feeling that I am still getting use to waking up in the morning and not starting the day with my emotional past joining me. I feel different and look different since I have started my coaching sessions with Sue, my work colleagues, friends and family have not stopped commenting how different I am to be around as I am much happier and confident in myself.
Every day since we started, I have grown stronger and more confident, dealing with every day as it comes, I still have a little way to go but with Sues help I am sure it will not be long until this happens.
Sue, I cannot thank you enough for your help in finding the new me and helping me dump the past and grow as a person" SB
