Hello

I'm Gilly Swan, a transformational empowerment coach based in the north east of England.  I am married with a grown up son and two mischievous Bengal cats.  I have a passion for women to step into their power, find out who they are and discover their true potential.  For many years I felt invisible, from when I was a child to being a woman in my 40s.  I felt irrelevant, old and at times worthless.  My father passed away when I was just 14 and my mother turned to drink for comfort.  I found it impossible to discover my place as an adult - I felt at times broken, like a doll with a limb missing.  Do you ever feel that way?  Other times, I felt like a pencil drawing that someone was trying to rub out with a giant rubber.  A  feeling of not really existing, or mattering to anyone.  This of course affected my relationships, career and other aspects of my life and I ended up suffering  from depression and exhaustion at times.  I experienced domestic abuse in my first marriage and was bullied at work.  I thought I had a sign on my forehead that read "Abuse Me". 

 

In more recent years, I happily discovered Life Mastery, the ability to change my mindset and thinking - but this I could not do without the help and expertise of my coaches and mentors.  I have undergone a dramatic transformation as a result.  I had learned how to hide, how to keep my head down just to survive.  Now, I am a vibrant, visible woman who has a passion to help other women who identify with that frustrating feeling of being invisible, feeling old, lacking in energy, motivation or just plain overwhelmed with life.  Maybe that's you?  Or you inexplicably self-sabotage or procrastinate, something I had been doing almost on automatic pilot.  The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way; since turning 40, I have completed two degrees and a masters, I have remarried to a kind and lovely man, I have written and performed in my own one-woman show, and I have travelled half way round the world as a solo traveller.  And this is just the start. 

 

My great ambition is to help 100,000 women like me to become visible, to find their passion and purpose and learn to create a life they love, rather than go with the flow in a life they simply endure or even worse hate.  Do you resonate?  Have you been hiding and while life happened you lost yourself in the process somewhere along the line?  My core values are empathy, integrity, trust and excellence.  I am a one of a kind coach totally committed to my clients and passionate about helping women be their authentic selves without fear or judgement.  I have made the journey from feeling insignificant to unstoppable and I would love to be part of your empowerment journey to achieving fulfilment in your life.  So click on the button below to book a FREE confidential introductory session and the start of a whole new season of success for you.  It's your time.  And if you don't try, you will never know.  I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your transformation adventure towards the fulfilling life you, and every woman over 40 deserves.
