Introduction

When Life Changes: Finding yourself, Healing & Starting again.​

A Cancer diagnosis or any big life challenges such as relationship separation can change everything. It can bring fear, uncertainty and grief, while also challenging the way you see yourself your relationships and your future.

At Embracing Highs, I believe you deserve support through the whole experience, not just the medical side of cancer, or finding yourself adjusting to a new life after separation or divorce.  

I offer compassionate, person-centred support and wellbeing services designed to help you navigate the emotional and personal challenges that cam come with diagnosis, treatment, emotional recovery and finding the new you.

My approach draws on my background in social practice, mind coaching and NLP, alongside my own lived experience of cancer and relationship separation, the many emotional layers that can accompany it.

I understand that sometimes you dont need another person telling you what you should do. You need someone who will listen, understand, sit with the hard stuff and help you find your way forward.

Whether you are facing treatment, adjusting to life after cancer, maneuvering through separation, co-parenting  supporting someone you love, or simply trying to feel like yourself again. Embracing Highs is a space where there is room for all of that.

No judgement, No pretending everything is positive. Just genuine support, practical tools and a focus on helping you reconnect with yourself, your strength  and the life you want to embrace.​

Today does not define your future

Divorce & Separation - Finding yourself again


Divorce and separation can bring a mix of grief, uncertainty, anger, relief and the daunting question, "Who am I now?" I support people as they navigate the emotional challenges of separation, rediscover themselves and begin creating a life that feels like their own again. For parents, I also offer a compassionate space to explore the challenges of co-parenting, communication and putting your child's emotional wellbeing at the heart of the journey. My own experiances and mistakes have taught me that how we feel midst the pain is not necessarily how we will feel once the pain has softened. Sometimes the most important question we can ask is, "What story will my child tell about this one day?" Together we can focus on healing, self-awareness and moving forward with greater clarity, confidence and compassion.

My Approach
Support for your mind, emotions and wellbeing


At Embracing Highs, I take a whole-person approach. Cancer and other major life experiances can affect far more than the body. They can influence how we think, feel, sleep, cope and relate to others and how we see ourselves.
My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can talk openly, explore what you are experiencing and learn practical tools to support your emotional wellbeing. 

 

Cancer support:
Cancer can be an overwhelming journey, whether you're newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, adjusting to life after treatment or supporting someone you love.
This may include:
​- Coping with uncertainty and change
- Adjusting to changes in identity and confidence
- Emotional wellbeing during and after treatment
- Building coping stratagies
- Navigating life after cancer
- Supporting Loved ones and carers
- Finding ways to reconnect with yourself, relationships and your life beyond cancer

Mind Coaching

Sometimes we know we want something to change, but we feel stuck in the same patterns. Mind Coaching can help you explore your thoughts, beliefs, habits and goals, and develop practical strategies to move forward.

Together, we can work towards greater self-awareness, confidence, motivation and a stronger sense of direction.

Self-hypnosis

Self-hypnosis is a skill you can learn and use for yourself. I teach practical self-hypnosis techniques designed to help you create a greater sense of calm, focus and relaxation, and to work with your thoughts and internal patterns. Rather than relying on someone else to create change for you, self-hypnosis gives you a tool you can continue using independantly.

NLP

Neuro-Linguistic programming, or NLP, provides techniques for exploring the relationship between thoughts, language, emotions and behaviour.

I use NLP-informed approaches to help you examine unhelpful patterns, develop different perspectives and work towards the changes that matter to you.

YOUR JOURNEY. YOUR PACE. YOUR GOALS.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing. Some people come to Embracing Highs because they're navigating cancer. Others may be dealing with a major life transition, feeling stuck, struggling with confidence or simply wanting to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Wherever you are starting from, we begin there. No judgement. No pressure. No pretending.

Just a supportive space to explore where you are now, where you want to go and the tools that may help you get there.

 

A GENTLE BUT IMPORTANT NOTE:

Embracing Highs provides support, Coaching and wellbeing services. These services are complementary and are not a substitute for medical care, psychological treatment or advice from your healthcare professionals.

If you are experiencing significant physical or psychological symptoms, I encourage you to seek appropriate professional medical or mental health support.

Meet Jessica

About me

Hi I'm Jess

I know what it feels like when life suddenly becomes something you never planned for.

My own journey has taken me through cancer, a double mastectomy, the loss of people I loved to cancer, divorce, solo parenting and the often-messy process of finding myself again.

Cancer changed my perspective on life. Divorce changed my perspective on myself.

​

Both taught me that sometimes the life we thought we were building falls apart, and we are left wondering, who am I now? What does my life look like from here? I've also learned that healing isn't linear. The way you feel in the middle of pain isn't necessarily how you'll feel in six months or a few years later. Time can soften what once felt impossible, create perspective where there was confusion, and give you the space to see yourself and your circumstances differently.

My own experiences have shaped the way I support others. My background and rebuilding of my life lead me to want to educate myself to be able to support others. I did my degree in social practice, trained in NLP and hypnosis. In my mind coaching I bring compassion, honesty and lived experience to my work.

Through Embracing Highs cancer support & wellness, I support people navigating cancer and the emotional impact that can come with it, as well as those moving through separation or divorce, co-parenting challenges and the journey of finding themselves again.

I don't pretend to have all the answers. I know what it is like to sit in uncertainty, to have days when you feel strong and days when you absolutely don't, and to slowly rebuild a sense of who you are.

My role is to meet you where you are, listen without judgement, help you make sense of what you're experiencing and support you as you begin looking forward again. Because sometimes starting again isn't about becoming the person you were before.

It's about discovering the person you are now.
