“We teach best what we are learning or have learned ourselves”
MY STORY
Where It All Began
At 24 life appeared wonderful, working in the performing arts industry, singing & dancing in shows, at the Sydney opera house, theatre restaurants, acting on television and touring internationally.
However, I secretly struggled emotionally with anxiety and self doubt. I found myself spiralling downwards on a destructive path of binge eating and anorexia in a way to cope with the painful feelings surfacing. I lost all control of my weight which heightened feelings of self hatred that consumed me.
I lost my confidence, all sense of myself, and didn’t know who I was or what my purpose was any more. I was tired all the time, anxious on a daily basis, sometimes scared to leave the house, I couldn’t sleep properly, hated what I looked like and worse, hated the outlook of my life.
Feelings of not being good enough or worth enough came more & more to the forefront of my life, & I had no idea how to move forward.
In the midst of my turbulence I developed rheumatoid arthritis in my left knee. Not long after this, I was rushed to hospital with a bleeding colon and was diagnosed with possible Crohn’s disease.
Those words were the biggest wake up call of my life and a deep voice resonated inside me, stronger than anything I had known, coaxing me to change my life.
I turned my life around and began forging my way towards a better existence. I started yoga, neuro emotional technique (NET) sessions, worked with flower essences, cleaned up my diet and learnt how to treat myself with loving kindness. I cultivated a completely new relationship with myself.
The more I healed, the more passionate I became & my opinion of myself elevated. I no longer saw myself as an ugly, fat, unmotivated being that wasn’t good enough, instead I saw a fearless leader, a role model, someone who inspired others.
As my journey transpired, I began to see that my challenges had been a blessing in disguise & part of a grander plan to connect me to my life purpose to help women just like you turn your lives around & break free from the areas of your life holding you back, so you can step into your life purpose; make a living from it, & shine in your power as a BOLD, BRAVE & BEAUTIFUL human being.

I have also studied Ayurvedic Medicine, Permaculture, Quantum Energetics and more. I combine all my skills, training and 22 year experience into incredible healing retreats, one to one consultations, womens circle & healing workshops to offer you a truly well rounded experience to propel your life forward in BIG ways.
