My path began in aged care and studying nursing,

where I believed I had found a way to do what I loved,

being there for people. But my heart kept whispering that

I was meant to walk this path differently.

After the birth of my second daughter,

I could no longer ignore what I has been supressing

- That I didn’t feel like me at all.
Each day I was pouring everything into my children as the mum I hoped to be,

but quietly losing sight of my own happiness, with no clear reason why.

I searched through countless help books,

desperate to understand what was happening.

It wasn’t until I realised I was experiencing extreme

postnatal anxiety (with no idea this was a thing) that I turned

to seek support from the medical system I was part of. However,

it left me feeling scared, it felt that I was only receiving advice

that would mask the symptoms rather than finding the root cause

of what was really going on.

Searching for an alternative way, I discovered Breathwork.

Breathwork not only guided me through the heaviness of

postnatal anxiety revealing the deeper cause,

it held me as I surrendered wholeheartedly into my whole journey.

It allowed me to unravel the pain and conditioning of my childhood,

to release what I had carried for so long, and to remember

the strength and softness I thought I had lost.

Today, my life feels like a divinely guided fairytale, a life I never dreamed possible.

I continue to reflect in gratitude that I chose to lean into all the waves and trust where the truth of my heart was leading me.

My daughters now get to see their mum flourishing as her true self,

and also held by the love and support of the most divine husband, while all together we create a life

rippled with connection, joy, and pure magic as a family.
