After 20 years struggling with my Dad's decision to change gender, I finally decided to put my hand on my heart, get back to basics and start being honest with myself and my why. Why was I thinking and feeling the way I was when I loved and respected this human being in front of me? It took me down a lot of dark alleyways, but I finally came out the other side and could feel the sunshine on my face and hear the birds again.

Learning and understanding my anxiety, stress, depression and with a lot of soul searching helped me 30 years later when our son broke his neck, leaving him a tetraplegic.

This is why I help people get back to basics so they can release the burden they are carrying and leave the drudge of the past behind them.

I use my posts, videos two books, "When Dad Became Joan", "4 Steps to Emotional Freedom", and TEDx Talk - 'Children of Transgender Parents Need Support Too', to reach as many people as I can, as well the personal life coaching support I offer.

I am also proud to be a wife, a mother and a dog owner.
