About

Hi, Im Cijy!

Hi ,I am Cijy Thomas and I help women like you to ‘Free your Potential’ by taking the route of self discovery, mastering the art of being mindful and cherishing your biggest asset, your ‘Health and wellness’.

Through my coaching,I support women connect with their ‘Inner beings’ and redefine their lives.With my support you will harness the skills to take charge of your life and always be in the driver seat,cherish ways to mind your ‘Health’ as your greatest Wealth and value the importance of being present. As you enter the path to self discovery you will start working on your values that will define your uniqueness. You will be willing to shed light on all the old limiting beliefs that held you back and create empowering ones. Working on boundaries is crucial as it will play a key role to help you navigate through those stumbling blocks.When you connect with ‘Self’ you will develop a sense of interconnectedness with others and the universe.It is not merely about ‘Existing’ but ‘Living’ a rich life embedded on true values and the right attitude.

I firmly trust and believe in the incredible potential each one of you will bring.

Always remember ,it is your willingness to ‘Change’ that has landed you here and that in itself is a courageous step.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance

–Alan Watts.

My Story

“Everything is within your power, and your power is within you” -Janice Trachtman

Hi,I am Cijy Thomas and I am an ICU Nurse by profession for more than a decade now.This has given me the vantage of exploring human emotions and connections at a much deeper level.As the Pandemic hit,I leaned onto resilience,compassion and empathy that served as a shield during those turbulent moments.’

Why we do,what we do’ stuck with me for years and being a people person ,my passion and drive to understand Human behavior ran very deep and I embarked on this life changing journey to pursue a ‘Practitioner Diploma In Coaching with Neuroscience’ from Positive Success Group(PSG).I am also a member of ‘World Association of Coaching’ (WACN).

I completed an 8 week MBSR(Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course) in October 2019 from the ‘Irish Mindfulness Institute’ to tame my scattered mind and harness the art of being present.I have volunteered with AWARE online for 3 years supporting clients suffering from depression and anxiety.The exploration of my spiritual journey began when I was engulfed in my lowest ebb after a personal loss. I traveled into an unchartered territory per se when my actions hugely contradicted my true core values. I faced moments of despair which was dark and gloomy. I must admit that I briefly savored the taste of depression!! Nah, it tasted nothing less than misery.

Before I am hit by an identity crisis, I took refuge in what I call ‘Mental Hibernation’, an escape from ‘Self’ and eventually others. But no matter how hard I tried to escape I always bumped into my ‘true self’ who questioned my integrity and purpose. It was like looking in the mirror in the search of the person who will change my life…Well, that was MYSELF!!

It was an ‘Aha’ moment to know that the answer to all my riddles lies purely within me, a startling realization that I have the sole POWER to choose, respond and rewrite my life purely by shifting my mindset…There began my inner work!

Believe You Can And You’re Halfway There

– Theodore Roosevelt

The Life Lessons I’ve Learnt

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going” –Joseph P Kennedy

I strongly believe Life is what ‘Happens’ to you when you are busy making other plans…And Ohh Yes, in all those ‘happenings’ I grew tough.

I have always been a ‘spiritual’ soul trying to make deeply meaningful connections as I do this magical ‘Earth Walk’. Life is all about choices and I choose to see the good in every person and situation.

I believe what goes around comes around so I am mindful that my words and actions align with this karmic principle. I have learned to embrace the challenging moments of life with ‘Grace’. ‘We are all work in progress’ and no matter what the odds there is ALWAYS room for growth.

In all trials, I ask myself ‘’ What is in it for me? What am I learning here? How do I turn this into something fruitful and share the positive impact with the world?

You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.

– Oprah Winfrey

Bedrock Of My Life – My Mindset

My ever-growing Mindset is the bedrock of my life. It has shaped my values creating moments of  ‘Awe’ and ‘Wonder’. There was a huge paradigm shift in choices that influenced my health, whole system wellness, and confidence.

My energy levels continues to sustain at a high peak as I entered the blissful 40s!!! As if life only began at 40. I figured no matter who I am, the ultimate answer to my growth and success lies in my ‘Mindset’. ‘Positive’ mindset does not mean everything will be fine, it just means that I will possess the tools to deal with the big blows and petty pinpricks of life. This mindset is a natural magnetic pull toward people and the universe.

I enjoy going slow and steady with clear goals but never stopping…I have seen the transformation in others working from a ‘Healthy Mindset’ and it is powerful.

I am here to create an impact and get the message out there…

’Face your Challenges’ and ‘Seek the Truth’.Be ‘Authentic’ and soak yourself with ‘Gratitude’ and above all…Have Fun along the way!

What Others Say

“Helpful!”

Cijy was calm and confident throughout the session and made me feel comfortable during the process. Her coaching style was liberal, comforting, and thought provoking. Cijy is extremely attentive when listening and picks up on keywords and statements and builds on them. Cijy provoked new perspectives on subjects such as values, the wheel of life, and inner dialogue through her thought-engaging questions and ideas which were new to me or expanded my ideas to which I was already familiar with. She knew I enjoyed meditating therefore she began the sessions with a 3-minute breathing meditation.

Overall coaching sessions with Cijy were very productive, and engaging and have helped to shift my perspective on certain aspects of life. As the sessions progressed her confidence in speaking and providing reassurance grew. I would choose coaching again as it had major effects on my life with decision-making.

I highly recommend Cijy and the quality of life coaching she offers. I felt immediately relaxed and at ease in her kind and mindful presence. I was able to get to the core of my values and beliefs, and explore those things holding me back from achieving my goals at a pace that felt comfortable for me, yet also with a space of emotional safety that allowed me to make meaningful progress and growth.

I am looking forward to continuing my coaching journey with Cijy, and am very thankful for the breakthroughs I have managed to make with her help.

Samantha Chandler
Ciji has been a wonderful coach for me. She has a gentle soul which made me feel comfortable and safe to look into myself a little closer. With her wisdom, she helped me to understand myself better, recognize my values, and build more definite boundaries. That then helped me to become more confident.

Our conversation helped me to grom slowly into a better and stronger version of myself and I’ll always be thankful to her for that.

Working full time, juggling home life, small kids, elderly parents and a college course, there just never seems to be enough hours in the day. It just seems to be one thing after another and there are so many times when you feel, that you are failing at everything . Taking a session with Cijy opened my eyes and helped me to recognize that I was heading towards burn out. To quote Cijy “ You can’t pour from an empty cup” . Cijy not only helped me to recognize this but also gave me some simple tools to help me, look after me, so that I can cope better. It was all about making simple manageable changes that are effective and work to suit my busy lifestyle. Thank you Cijy , I recommend your wisdom and services very highly and think everyone would benefit from working with you.
