Di is passionate about helping others to be the very best that they can be. Her ethos is that everyone has an inner potential for excellence and she delights in being able to play a part in others’ personal transformations. She works with groups as well as with individuals, and specialises in one-to-one VIP days where life-changing breakthroughs are often achieved.

Di first became interested in how people sabotage themselves as a result of being married to a man who developed a severe personality disorder. She likens the experience to living with someone who was possessed by unpredictable, destructive demons. The marriage became intolerable and eventually ended in divorce in 2001. In 2009, the demons finally won and took Ian from self sabotage to self destruct with his suicide in September of that year.

Di’s mission now is to increase people’s awareness of their own self sabotage patterns, and in so doing, empower them to make positive changes, ‘get out of their own way’ and avoid self destruct. Her innovative ‘inner pendulum’ principles and techniques are highly effective, light-hearted and transformational and of course, she also uses Sue Stone’s proven techniques for personal success.
