Hi! I’m Selena, Founder of Pivotal Moments
Before I share about myself, I want to start by thanking you for being here. I genuinely hope that my offerings can support you or your team on your own journey of healing and self-discovery.
My path to this point began in childhood and continued well into my adult life. For as long as I can remember, I was privately plagued by feelings of inadequacy, lack, hurt, disappointment, resentment, uncertainty, self-doubt and low self-worth. These emotions have been constant companions on my personal journey over the last twenty years. As I moved into adulthood, I found it fascinating to look back on those formative years and realise the damage that can be done, merely from the words that are spoken to you, at you and about you. How we carry that into our adult life and how it can leave a lasting impact on the person you grow into.
I went on a mission to find better for myself. I didn’t want to continue feeling inadequate or constantly doubting myself. So, my journey toward healing and growth began, first with self-help books and magazine articles and eventually, believe it or not, CDs from self-development experts (long before the internet and social media was what it is today!).
I always knew I had a deep desire to help people, however, I just didn’t know what that looked like. In my early twenties, I studied Life & Business Coaching, although what that taught me was that I still had a lot of healing to do before I could fully support others. A few years later, I moved to London on a working holiday visa, which remains one of the most pivotal moments of my life. For the first time, I was free from the conditioning and expectations of those around me and had the chance to discover WHO I TRULY WAS, not who others thought I should be.
Fast forward a few more years, and I found myself deep in the corporate world, living a life that felt completely unaligned again. It felt as though I had come full circle, back to my early twenties, stuck in a job I hated, but doing nothing to change it. Eventually, I landed a role that gave me the opportunities I’d always dreamt of, this in turn sparked a renewed desire for growth, both for myself and as a leader.
It was during this time that I discovered Human Design and became an advanced certified practitioner. Human Design not only helped me become a better leader but also transformed my relationship with myself. I engaged with a life coach, to further support my healing and give me the tools I needed to expand my growth and awareness.
Now, I bring everything I’ve learnt, from my own healing journey to my background in leadership, Life Coaching and Human Design ~ to support individuals and teams who are ready to shift the way they work, relate and show up in the world. Having worked in both uplifting and incredibly toxic workplace environments, I know how much the culture around us can either lift us up or slowly wear us down. That’s why I care so deeply about creating safe, supportive spaces, whether that’s through team workshops or confidential 1:1 sessions. One of the ways I do this is through The Safe Space Sessions ~ private, on-site or virtual coaching sessions that offer employees a trusted outlet to talk through challenges separate from HR or management. Because when people feel seen, heard and understood, real change happens - not just personally, but collectively. My mission now is to help businesses and their people thrive, not just survive.
