Meet Julia
Julia Cork runs Totty’s in Welshpool Powys Wales, a beauty salon which caters for all kinds of beauty treatments and aesthetics.
Julia started her business in mid-lockdown about two-and-a-half years ago, initially working from home before expanding into business premises.
She has successfully grown the business to the point where she needed more room to meet increasing demand and, on November 18th 2022, opened a new salon in Berriew Street which is three times as large as her old premises and will feature a new sunbed tanning service.
Julia now has two staff members helping her in the salon and business success has been achieved around juggling the needs of a young family.
Here is her story:
“A lot has happened over the last couple of years, I was growing a business through a pandemic, I lost my mother a year ago and I nearly split up with my boyfriend. Before things started to go really well, they were going really bad".
“I had been doing a lot of work by myself and just knew that there was something missing. I realised that my self-belief was holding me back from reaching my goals, so I did some pretty extensive research and found that while a lot of people can have therapy, it was more about the inner work that I wanted - like self concept".
“It was then a matter of searching for coaches online. That resulted in a few consultations with other people but Marcus was the one I felt I connected with the most. it was a case of for me to take a step further in my business, I needed to believe in myself a bit more - it was really all about self-belief".
“Just talking things through has proved so beneficial. I have always been a spiritual kind of person anyway so I knew there was this block and he’s helped me deal with that, in part through meditation".
“There has also been the reassurance of knowing that Marcus was there and always available, only a message away. I have never really had anything like that before".
"I have a couple of coaching sessions left and have also started an online course with him - group sessions which target more for the business side of things, like setting goals and things like that".
The transformation
“I am in a much better place now and have learnt that I also need to put myself first a little bit more, rather than everyone else. My relationship with my kids is better - my boyfriend would always say that he hated mornings in our house but he has seen a massive improvement in the last couple of months".
“Overall it’s been really good and I feel like a completely different person. A lot of things happen daily and I think that had they happened six months ago, I would have had a breakdown or flown off the handle. Now I am more chilled about a lot of things, far better able to deal with them".
“As I said earlier, I did have a few calls with other people before approaching Marcus - there are a lot of life coaches out there but they haven’t been through the life experiences of Marcus. He has been there, hit rock bottom and built himself back up, so you can connect with him a lot more because he has experienced it all.”
Since working with me Julia has gone from strength to strength both in her business and in her personal relationships
The solution
“My first therapy session with Marcus was in September. He took me back to my childhood and made me look at things a lot differently. He has helped a lot with my personal relationship, and then we have the coaching calls which are really good for me, changing my mindset and heartset on a lot of things - making me think more positively than negatively".
By finding the root cause to the way she flt Julia has not only overcome the anxiety but as a result this transformation has had a positive benefit on all areas of her life.
