Interview with Patricia Benner, the women who taught me how to change my life

Off balance

Patricia Brenner is an all-round, enthusiastic mind & body coach. Over the course of 11 years, she has become a qualified personal trainer, a nutritionist, a pilates teacher, a life coach and a meditation teacher.

After losing my second baby, I felt that, without someone holding my hand, it would have been a hell of a journey, and not in a good way. 10 years before this experience, I would have laughed if someone had suggested life coaching, but I pulled up my sleeves this time and put my heart into the process.

I needed a “second voice in my head” and, as Patricia really knows her stuff when it comes to mind and body, I felt I had found the ONE. I always knew physical coaching is important but, if you include mental coaching, you get the opportunity to grow and face your struggles, as most problems have deeper roots than it might appear.

Pregnancy opens up a lot of doors that we have kept closed for years, and even the most resistant of women become emotional and revisit their blockages. The daily stress does not help either and, when I met with Patricia, I felt my life change.
The life coaching sessions progressed a little better than the physical training. I had this voice that kept reminding me to exercise, but there were times when that voice had to be silenced and I missed a workout (but don’t tell Patricia!).

The most important thing I learnt was: “one step at a time”. No-one has climbed Mont Blanc in a day and taking small steps towards your goals pays off much better than rushing into changes that you can’t keep up.
