Curious about how I went from a sick, depressed, exhausted and stressed "yes girl" to helping women transform their mind, body and health, and start living a life they LOVE!
Well..
Before I studied personal training, holistic health, energy medicine and yoga.
Before I pursued my souls purpose in helping women transform their life.
Before I finally found what it was like to actually live a life I LOVED...
There was an insecure “yes girl". Desperate to please, willing to get walked over, had unhealthy boundaries and was just existing in a life she felt, was out to get her.
My journey back to health and happiness was far from a smooth ride...
While I always managed to keep a smile on my face most days, I was still facing a daily internal battle of crippling anxiety, depression, debilitating digestive issues, exhaustion and overwhelm.
Overcoming my physical and mental health challenges, was anything but easy. It was definitely a long term game.
Once I finally took the leap and left my job as a hairdresser, I started my mission in gaining all the knowledge I possibly could, to help myself rebuild my life and health.
I was all in...
But I was faced with obstacle after obstacle, as soon as I thought I was getting somewhere, something else would pop up. I felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
I didn't understand, I was doing the things that everyone says to do, you know "eat healthy and exercise", but it was only getting me so far.
I soon realized these were only 2 pieces of the puzzle, and what I really needed was a holistic approach to health, life and happiness.
So guess what I did...
I studied naturopathy, nutrition, Ayurveda, personal training, yoga, mindfulness, energy medicine, literally anything I could that had anything to do with health and wellness.
All, so I could truly understand my body and what it really took to rebuild my health from the inside out, and become the best version on myself possible.
Now... I help women do the same for themselves.
I have a tool box full of qualifications in...
Nutrition - What we choose to fuel our bodies with, plays a huge factor in how our body and mind will perform. That's why real whole food, is a foundation of overall health.
Herbalism - Nature has it's own unique plant medicines, which can be used to help SUPPORT, BUILD and NOURISH your body.
Shamanic Yoga - Certified 200hr Shamaic Yoga Teacher (Vinyassa and restorative sequences) taught by Levi Banner in beautiful Bali.
Shamanism - Certified Shamanic Priestess by Venus Star Rising. I journeyed through the 5 elements (water, earth, fire, air and spirit), experienced transformational breathwork and worked with the sacred plant medicine of cacao.
When I'm not geeking out on research or creating content you can usually find me either...
In the kitchen - Making once off healthy meals and deserts, I say once off because following recipes isn't really my thing, I like to eye ball measure and guesstimate everything! So nothing ever ends up the same. It's usually always a throw together type thing, using whatever I have on hand. My fiancé Mark always jokes that he has to savour every creation, as he knows I won't make the exact same again.
Playing in nature - Walking outside in nature, with my bare feet in the grass, sand or dirt with the sun touching my skin, is one of my favourite places to be. I also love hanging out in my veggie garden, and checking out all the wild edible weeds that find there way in there.
Reconnecting to my body - I spend so much time up in my head, thinking, problem solving & learning new things. So for me getting back into my body through yoga or meditation, is an essential daily practice for me.
If you're dying to know more, here's 9 random things you may not know about me
- I left school at 15, though I have never stopped learning.
- I became a qualified hairdresser at 18, I then went on to study many health methods. From personal training, naturopathy, nutrition, herbal medicine, energy medicine, sound healing, reiki, yoga and breathwork.
- I get super smiley when I am nervous, in awkward or uncomfortable situations.
- I'm obsessed with the numbers 3, 6 and 9.
- I'm a terrible speller and rely heavily on spellcheck. - So if you ever find spelling or grammar issues in my work please be kind.
- I'm very multi passionate, and easily distracted by new shiny things and ideas. So it's actually a miracle when I follow through and complete something.
- I get way too involved in TV. If someone talks to me while I'm watching TV I will reply, but have no recollection of the conversation. If I am watching a drama, I feel like it's happening in my own life and take it personally. There was even one time I was watching a movie, where there was a performance, and the audience started clapping. So of course I started clapping like a total idiot. My sister still teases me about that to this day.
- My fiancé Mark and I share the same birth days
- I'm a bit of an introvert - Although I can be really extroverted at times, and really put myself out there. Though I prefer being in small groups, one on one and recharging myself by being on my own.
That's enough from me, now back to you!
