CARINA’S OWN STORY

As the only child of a single parent (something which has become much more normalised now than it was back then) who suffered bouts of bullying throughout her teens, growing up with a parent who was often unwell or in hospital, who then experienced a sudden parental bereavement, as a young person Carina lacked a lot of confidence and self-belief.

Despite any childhood traumas, Carina grew up to be independent and determined. As a result of this, she adopted a forced sense of confidence the way many of us do in our 20s, yet she’d never actually dealt the insecurities she’d developed from her younger years.

Carina went on to build a successful corporate career spanning sales, talent, project and leadership roles. She studied later in life for her Masters’ degree and became a chartered professional in people development and a trained, certified coach.

Yet during her 30s, Carina experienced monumental life changes including redundancy, divorce, an overseas relocation and stress-related illness. Everything she knew had changed or disappeared and she found herself feeling a complete loss of identity. It was here that she realised her old forms of coping mechanisms were no longer serving her and she needed to change her approach. Over a seven-year journey, Carina has learnt to prioritise mind-set and has realised just how much this can impact our confidence levels around our image, physical appearance, how we project ourselves and how we can learn to be comfortable as our true and authentic selves.

From first-hand experience of the benefits of coaching both in her own delivery and as a recipient, Carina understands the success a structured coaching programme can have. As someone who has always been passionate about fashion and styling ever since she was a child, helping others through identification of their own personal style seemed such an obvious choice to explore and she began retraining in the world of fashion styling, with both Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design and the Style Coaching Institute®, and working as a personal stylist.

Carina’s unique understanding of people from her many years of corporate development, fused together with her learnings from her personal styling, led her to an important discovery. A loss of personal style or any lack of direction in style and confidence is most often connected to negative mind-set, low confidence and self-esteem. Educating someone on what suits them aesthetically is often not enough for the individual to feel a true sense of self-worth and confidence, and to be inspired to wear the clothes and styles as guided.

As a result, Carina has formed a coaching programme designed to re-build mind-set and self-belief, whilst providing styling tools and understanding, giving her clients back the control to re-invent their own wardrobe whilst having a new found confidence to wear what’s inside it.
