Having spent 15 years running my own business as a landscape gardener I was lucky enough to help many clients create places and spaces of beauty in their own back garden using my guidance and creativity, This enabled them to manifest their landscaping dreams.
Identifying each individual client’s vision (along with my own), I was able to create ideas through communication and drawings along with my assistance and re-evaluation of clients’ needs producing a rewarding landscaped outcome (for myself) and the client.
I realised very early on that being able to transform someone’s garden into a beautiful place with my vision and knowledge and understanding and the final impact that it had on the client brought joy for them in abundance and also an awareness of an ability within myself that I had to be able to change lives.
Having my own business, I learnt a lot about myself and, most of all, I learnt a lot about others, and from a simple garden transformation I realised the impact I could have on people through, not only the garden projects and the outcome, but through speaking to them about their personal lives as often I could spend weeks and months on a project and would become quite friendly and close with them.
Clients shared and confided in me, in regards to their personal issues, and battles, so I quite often found myself advising them and listening to personal stories and in doing this, just being there to listen, I could impact someone’s life without even realising it. I also advised up and coming landscapers who were just starting out, unaware of the pitfalls of running their own business, so I would offer guidance to them to overcome and achieve their own goals.
Throughout my personal life I have faced many of my own challenges In relationships ranging from conflicts, emotional wounds, childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, and addictions resulting in my own encounters with anxiety. I have overcome many of these issues, which often accompany and mask the inner turmoil; emotional, physical, and psychological abuse that occurs within abusive relationships and situations transforming my own inner, baron landscape into the beauty I can now envision and create for myself.
Having navigated my own way through my own experiences often not knowing which way to turn or how to reach out I guess what I have finally dealt with I could have sorted out years ago if I had the right guidance and understanding. Most of all I have learnt to believe in myself and that was the changing point; the minute I believed in myself and the action I could take towards change, was the day I started to become a better me.
