Caurel’s introduction

Meet Caurel Richards, a passionate and driven individual with a wealth of knowledge and experience in various service industries. After spending 14 years working in these fields, Caurel learned firsthand the crucial role that mental health plays in our overall well-being and how unresolved trauma can hold us back from living the lives we desire. This led her to complete her training as a Hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner with Marisa Peer in 2021, and she subsequently founded In Divine Thyme Transformational Services with the mission of helping clients with complex childhood trauma overcome unhealthy habits and patterns, and reclaim their freedom and peace of mind.

Caurel has gained a reputation as an "Anxiety Expert" among her peers, thanks to her success in empowering clients to overcome anxiety and other challenges. She is dedicated to helping female professionals and entrepreneurs achieve work-life harmony without feeling guilty, and encourages everyone to embrace the philosophy that "the world is your playground." With the goal of helping you rediscover excitement and joy in life, Caurel is committed to empowering you with a fresh perspective and the tools you need to live the life you want today.

Helen’s short introduction

Helen B. Ferguson has been a therapist for 22+ years, guiding women on their healing journey from trauma, childhood trauma, C-PTSD & sexual abuse.

In her journey, Helen discovered that the parents and caregivers of these children also often carry their own pain from past traumatic experiences.

She realized that there are many adults who have been silently carrying around their own trauma and have been driven by a need for success but are burdened by the pain, shame, fear, and anxiety that their past has caused.

She decided to focus on helping women heal their own trauma by providing them with a safe, compassionate space to express their emotions and process their pain.

Helen’s work is a passion and a connection to each woman she helps, as well as a way to honor the inner wounded child within all of us.

Seeing the joy and liberation in the women she works with is a gift.

Alicia’s from crappy to happy’s story

Apart from having her daughter, her defining moment came in 2015 when she lost everything.​The six-figure salary, the husband, the house, and the car. She is simplifying but the gist is she had been living the way everyone else expected she would be growing up, and she wasn’t happy. She was a captive in the jail of her own life rather than experiencing life.Since then, she has rebuilt after losing everything and lost 30kgs. Alicia was awarded the 2020 ICG Australian life coach of the year, has written an Amazon bestseller and is finishing her first marathon in 2021.All because she realized if she included gratitude in her daily practice, everything within her life and business would fall into place.

The Gratitude Method™

Alicia is a life coach helping teenagers with anxiety and a business mentor using positive psychology to help entrepreneurs build their lives, businesses, and leadership skills. Currently, she is studying for her Master's in Applied Positive Psychology to assist with her passion for positive psychology and personal development to help herself as well as others.And with the success of her book Be Outstanding: Five Simple Steps to Turn Your Life’s Mess Into Success, she is also an author’s mentor (yes, after failing high school English.)

Explore all the books Alicia has published so far on Amazon

That great job she lost brought her to where she is now. Her background includes 20 years in childhood education working with multi-million dollar businesses. She worked her way up to operations so she understands structures, goal setting, and benchmarks. As well as, being grateful and thankful for all the people supporting you in your businesses.Most valuable of all, she understands people. Aside from business, fitness, and coaching qualifications, she is a former educator of the year with skills in action-taking, finishing what she starts, and being a non-judgemental leader.Alicia's clients are often high achievers who are burned out. She teaches them to slow down with gratitude, self-care, and habits before they can speed up again. She shows them what is possible and how to use the skills and strengths they may not know they have.She is mad about community and charity work, running, and new experiences. If you work with her, you need to bring what transformed her life—consistency. She will tell you what she tells her partners and friends:

Be ready for some fun and keep up with her

Tracie’s introduction in Tracie’s words

I know very well how damaging unhealthy relationships can be for ourselves, our intimate connections, and for our whole family. It was through my own healing journey from my dysfunctional and abusive childhood to creating healthy, adoring relationships that I discovered most of the tools and love wisdom I share in my coaching and my 5-star book, The Missing Manual to Love, Marriage, and Intimacy.My formal studies include a background in psychology and counseling, yoga and movement therapy, relationship seminars, and coach training. Yet the greatest contributions to my journey as a Love Catalyst & Relationship Coach have come from the school of life. At this point, I’ve been helping people transform their lives and relationships for 30 years. What nourishes my soul and my passion for coaching are the miracles that happen in people’s relationships when they work with me.In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, love and relationship are essential after our basic survival needs are met. And when we don’t prioritize this essential need, we can survive however we rarely thrive. So I am on a mission to make a difference in millions of relationships . . . for ourselves, for our children, and for our world.
