About Me
I believe we are all here to live a Happy, Healthy and Fulfilled Life. A life without limitations!
Mum of three, Holistic Life Coach, Ayurveda Health Councillor, Yoga Instructor, Podcast Host and Spiritual Leader.
Like most people I have lived a life full of contrast; ups and downs, traumas and healing, feeling stuck and experiencing huge growth, feeling lost and living fully in alignment.
As an adult I have always been very driven and extremely self motivated. At 23 I was running my own successful Remedial Massage Business. At 24 I added in coaching a top grade, senior netball team. At 25 I added in study and started my own business instructing yoga. For the next three years I was flat out massaging, teaching yoga and coaching netball!
At 27 I had our first child, Tex. I continued to do everything I had done previously, plus being a full time mum. Tex never went to daycare. It wasn’t until I was pregnant with our second child Stella, that things started to go pear shape. Trying to do everything I had done pre-kids, but with a 2yo and pregnant was starting to catch up with me. I was soooo tired! I’ll never forget laying on our bed exhausted, 45mins before I was due to teach a yoga class. I said to Ben I don’t think I can move I’m that exhausted, to which he replied, ‘just cancel people will understand’. ‘I can’t do that I said’, before reluctantly dragging myself off the bed.
I didn’t know at the time but I had Thyroid issues, low iron and adrenal fatigue. This was just the beginning of the burn out. After Stella’s birth it took me a long time, to feel like I had even a third of my energy back.
As we approached the end of 2019, the choas really broke out. My husband left his local job of 12 years. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do, but just knew he needed to get out. So he jumped in a truck. He would leave at 4am and be home at 6pm. This was hard enough on the kids and I as it was... Then we found out I was pregnant with an unplanned child. Our relationship quickly deteriorated. Ben was away a lot and extremely resentful. Little did I know things were about to get much worse.
I was 7 weeks pregnant, away with mum and the kids when we got the devastating call. My dad had died of a rare heart disease (we didn’t know this at the time) whilst out motorbike riding. 11 days out from Christmas. Nothing could have ever prepared me for this. The only things that got me through those few weeks that followed my fathers death, was the beautiful baby boy growing in my belly and landing on my yoga mat every day. I have never experienced pain and heartache like that in all my life!
So by now you wouldn’t think things could possibly get any worse, but then Covid hit. 2020 was a circus. I was a stay at home, home schooling mum of a 5yo, 2yo and new born. I was alone. I was grieving. I was burnt out. I was struggling. Yet, despite everything I had gone through in literally 7 months, I had not yet hit rock bottom. I was solely relying on stamina.
It wasn’t until I (unwillingly) had the dreaded AZ Covid Jab, that I completely crashed. The night of the vaccination, I thought I was going to die. I have an amazingly high pain threshold and immune system, but all that came to an end. I remember laying in the fetal position, shaking, shivering, aching and crying: it’s the only time in my life I though, ‘Oh my god, I’m going to die!’. I have never been so sick, in all my life. I had nothing left. I was exhausted, I cried, I could honestly barely function. I think all the stress and grief I had held in my body had finally been released.
I had absolutely nothing left, I was stripped bare, I felt numb. It was at this point I started to question the meaning of life. Of my Life. I remember walking around outside alone in the backyard thinking, ‘who am I? why am I here? what’s my purpose? why are we on this earth?’. I can only describe it as extreme detachment from my humanness or a spiritual awakening. I know right, you would think it would be a much more amazing experience where God spoke to me or sparkles glittered in the air or something along that line.
I continued to ask these questions, I continued to look for purpose and meaning in my life. I know you’re probably thinking she had kids for gods sake, but where I was in that vulnerable mental, emotional and spiritual state; I was completely detached from everyone and everything. I had lost my health, my happiness, my identity and my purpose in life.
In the months that followed, I was seeking. Seeking clarity. Seeking guidance. Seeking a way forward. I knew I had to have a bigger purpose in life.
It was then a friend got me onto a beautiful spiritual podcast about the law of attraction. From there a deeper passion for self inquiry, study and spirituality was born. I stumbled onto Ayurveda School and was hooked at the opening statement, ‘Do you want to know who you truely are?’. Yes, yes I did.
Over the past two years, using Ayurveda, Yoga, Meditation, listening to endless podcasts and audiobooks, reading countless books and textbooks along with various other practices, I’m proud to say I made it through. I reconstructed my identity, I rebuilt my health and have unlocked true happiness (which can only be found from within). I am thriving, not just surviving my life!
Without all the traumas and the pain I experienced, I would never have had the exponential self growth and spiritual growth.
Despite losing my father, who I miss every day, I know that my stormy cloud had a huge silver lining. I am honestly grateful for all of the amazing teachings and gifts I have received.
Combining all of my experiences, education, intuition and wisdom has led me to create the genuine, holistic and successful business you see today. What exactly is it that I do? I’m a Holistic Life Coach who specialises in working with Mums. It’s quite hard to summarise my experience, education and expertise into such a small title. Basically, I coach Women who are struggling like I was. I use all the holistic rituals and practices, mindset work and life experiences I have, to help nurture mums through their burnout, unhappiness and loss of identity. I believe everyone needs someone in their corner, particularly another mum. A mum who has been through it, who gets how you feel and has a proven path through the chaos to a thriving life.
If any of my story resonates and you’re sick of just surviving your life, then please reach out. I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it feels be heathy, happy and living in alignment.
