TLC. Alongside her theatrical and creative career, Hetty has been working as a spiritual life coach for the last 10 or so years, she has kept this very much ‘undercover’, working with two top established companies in UK and US, but has also been looking after a handful of private clients. Now she is launching Hetty Baynes Transformational Life Coaching to enable her to reach more people and do this under her own auspices rather than for other companies.
She amalgamates a host of spiritual, creative and therapeutic skills that comes from her vast life experience, various therapies, coach training, and her own particular viewpoint, which is perhaps her USP as a spiritual coach. She aims to facilitate insights and transformation enabling her clients to raise their consciousness and therefore change their lives. Sometimes she says she can do this in a one-hour session in what she calls a ‘Crack The Code ‘session.
She sees herself as a combination of agony aunt/priest/guide/coach/psychic/confidante/ personal growth trainer….but works with each induvial that comes to her in a completely unique way as each and everyone of us is unique and therefore the help they need will be a combination of all of the above but also completely unique- she says she has a format but actually never knows quite how the session will go, what will come through for the client and the journey she travels with them.
She works on phonw, skype, facetime and one/one in person. She is based in London. As her website has yet to be launched she can be reached on hettieb@hotmail.co.uk and 07513 826704
