Hi, we’re pleased you’re interested enough in our blog to find out who we are.
We’re Neil and Stéphanie Godden, co-founders of becoming-yourself.com. We started this blog in June 2022 from our nearly-completed house renovation in Nouméa, in the glorious South Pacific, as a focus for our long-standing interest in personal development and healing methods.
Although Neil only formally finished his Certified Practitioner of Hypnotherapy training in 2021 and Stephanie is still working on completing her own training in as an Ayurvedic consultant, these ideas have been present over the last ten years. Some might call it the classic mid-life crisis, but we prefer to look at it as seizing the opportunity to change our lives for the better, to move on from situations that no longer correspond to our aspirations. Not that the changes are that radical: it’s only a short hop from Neil’s 20 years of empathic style of language teaching and translating to hypnotherapy, while Stephanie’s extensive professional experience in crisis management and security has downsized from territorial-sized issues to taking more personal care of individuals.
In our precious downtime from work or DIY, you can find us kayaking or swimming in the magnificent New Caledonian lagoon or exploring the red-rock desert landscape of the New Caledonian “Grand Sud” (the great south).
We look forward to providing you with lots of useful and interesting information on how to truly become yourself. Rest assured that we’ll be putting it into practice ourselves too!
Best wishes,
Neil and Stéphanie
