My Story
If you've walked through the fire time and again, you've come to the right place.
Childhood & Adolescence
I grew up as a high-achieving kid: top of the class, house captain - and performed with apparent ease. And yet beneath all of it, I felt like an alien. I carried an intuitive sense of what others were feeling, always aware of what went unseen and unspoken.
From an early age, home was chaotic. By my pre-teens, the cracks started to show.
Twenties
I studied law, determined to be a businesswoman. I chased money, power, and independence, and performed competence so convincingly that even I almost believed it. But in reality, I felt completely disempowered. My work was soul-sucking. I convinced myself I was rational and logical, pushing away my intuitive and emotional self. I lived in a constant state of escapism and avoidance.
In my late 20s, my body stopped cooperating. I was forced to stop. I turned toward holistic medicine and eastern practices for the first time. This blew open my awareness of the mind-body connection.
The Unravelling
For a few years life felt better, and then, at 30, my world came crashing down. A series of tragic losses happened in my family, and I was left with a mother that needed more care than I could give.
A lot happened. I moved, travelled, and I explored all methods to numb the pain. At 32, I left that life behind and began exploring spirituality, ancient wisdom, and neuroscience. I trained in trauma modalities and energy psychology, and worked with the Australian Department of Health as a speaker on their national suicide prevention program.
And then came my own Dark Night of the Soul.
The Return
I spent years healing. Body, mind, and spirit. I worked with some of the best healers in the world and studied the science to the soul. I learned to face my triggers, have tough conversations with love, and allow myself to be seen again.
My Mission
My deepest pain has become the wisdom I now share. I know there is a better way to do mental health, and I've dedicated my life to finding it.
Our pain is an opportunity for greater power, passion, purpose, and potential. We can only take someone as far as we've walked ourselves.
I have walked far. And I know the way back.
