About our guest: Bev is a Certified Attachment Practitioner and Founder of Securely Loved. Securely Loved is a company comprised of Relationship and Attachment Trauma Practitioners who work internationally to guide their clients through life’s odyssey.

As a child, Bev lived in a very unpredictable and chaotic environment where she never knew if she could rely on her parents to meet her emotional needs. This led her to absorb unhealthy relationship ideas based on what she was witnessing: she believed relationships were supposed to be unbalanced, uncertain, and overall chaotic.

Prior to her current work, Bev was an Executive Leader, University Lecturer and published author. She has dedicated her entire career (25+ years) working with adults in the realm of personal growth and professional development.

Bev, thanks for sharing your many gifts with the world and for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients, Welcome to the show!
