We all like to look and feel good and are happy to invest in new clothes, hairstyles, makeovers and so on. These things help us feel great and help our external image. Some people are also willing to invest in looking and feeling just as beautiful on the inside, so that they can lead happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. Achieving their goals and dreams and feeling great about themselves and the lives they’re living.

If you’re one of those people, and are looking for objective, confidential coaching support which helps you reach your full potential, then Annie Lawler’s your girl!

Having spent 20 years working in competitive business environments, the last 10 of which were on the board of an advertising agency, Annie realised she wanted to do more with her life. At a point in her life where her career and personal life were particularly challenging, she decided to take a course in stress management which, within 6 months quite literally, changed her life.

“I realised that I had to do something I really loved and which really added value to my life and to the lives of other people I came into contact with. I wish I’d known what I discovered during my Stress management course a long time ago. Life would have been a lot easier and a whole lot more fun!”, says Annie.

So, with that thought in mind, in 2004, she set up her Stress Management business, Breathing Space Therapies and continued her studies, qualifying also in Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy, NLP & Reiki as well as Stress Management, giving her clients access to an armoury of resources.

To add to these, she has recently written and developed a series of Stress-relieving CDs and downloads for use whenever and wherever is appropriate to reach people wherever they are in the world and to give them access to stress relief even if they feel they are unable to attend a personal consultation. The ‘Self-help in a Box’ series covering common stress-related complaints such as insomnia, high blood pressure, stress, anxiety, pain, self-esteem etc are distributed through her own website and through New World Music and Amazon. Following recent tests by medical professionals they are also available in the Cancer Unit of the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, with further launches of these planned later in 2008 and the launch of her ‘Fast Track Masterclass’ series of lectures on stress management topics is due imminently.

Annie is passionate about her work and devoted to promoting the concept of living life to our full potential and enjoying it whilst we do so! “So many of the daily messages we are exposed to are terribly negative, but we need to focus on the positive too so that we get a balanced view of the world. With a negative attitude, there is very little to enjoy and this can be very destructive both mentally and physically.” says Annie

“Stress Management gives me a chance to help people look at their current lifestyle and decide what changes they want to make so that they lead happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. A lot of it is common sense, but it takes time, effort and a certain amount of courage to change some of our less helpful unconscious habits.”
