GENERAL INTRO
Peta was appointed [as one of 19 medical doctors and therapists] to the Board of Advisors of AMORA. The Academy of Marriage Sex and Relationships. An interactive edutainment facility in Piccadilly, London.
Hi, I'm Peta Heskell - [that's me - in the photo to your right]. My 'expertise' and 'knownness' is in all things relationship from flirting through dating to romantic relationships and mating. I'm known as The Original Flirt Coach. I put flirting and flirt coaching on the map in the UK and set up the Flirting Academy in 1998. . I wrote the book Flirt Coach and The Flirt Coach's Guide to finding the Love you want, plus The Flirt Coach's Secrets of Attraction all published by Thorsons Element.
I am married and live with my husband in the depths of the countryside.
Beneath the popular front, what I really do is to help other people to become who they truly are and realise the possibilities that await them in the world not just in love, but in all areas of their lives.
Peta's a street-wise, adventurous, wild, fun loving, storytelling, spiritual and feisty woman with a high-powered energy and a very earthy sense of humour! She's led life in the fastest lanes and is now living her true adventure - realising her potential by inspiring others to do the same
Peta says "In some ways the label 'flirting' has been deceptive because I don't teach flirting in the traditional 'winking' 'hair flicking' sense. NO WAY! That's all 'head/techniquey' stuff. It doesn't work if the foundations are wobbly nothing will work. I start with the foundations and build upwards and outwards. 'Flirting' and 'Attraction' are great containers in which to do the work I truly love - deep personal evolution.
People are attracted to the idea that learning to flirt or finding a relationship or attracting their prefect soulmate is what they want but they're not the means to happiness..they're what happens when a person begins to unfold in all his or her magnificence. Like that, what they learn on a flirting weekend, or attending an attraction teleseminar, for example, is a way to be more of who they gloriously are as well some hot communication and self-inspiring and motivational skills."
MY WORK WITH CLIENTS
Peta specialises in helping people to develop immense pulling power in all areas of their lives by facilitating them to be true to who they really are and follow their fascinations and dreams. She says "I will work with you at a far deeper level than traditional flirting or relationship coaching. I don't do linear progressive goal setting and I don't do body language tips. BUT I will teach you how to bring out your flirtatious nature and develop SOCIAL CONFIDENCE.
The only homework I give my clients is ways to help them become more who they really are and things to think about with a few hints on what they should pay attention to. It might be tips on how they can change the way they move to get more balance in their life.. or it might be simply becoming more aware of their patterns once I've mapped them out for them. Or it may even be charging them to look for 'what works' in everyone they meet to counteract the learned tendency in most humans to find fault.
Whatever it is it will be absolutely tailor-made for them.
Traditional Life coaches tend not to give advice. I'm different. When I sense my clients need to know something or I am able to see something they are not, yet.. sometimes I'll tell them depending on how ready they are.
I like to get to know my clients, their patterns and ways of seeing the world so that I can use my skills to guide them to what's absolutely right for them. What I do is a mixture of guidance, mentoring, facilitation, idea-generation and advice"
