I am the youngest of 10 children. I grew up not knowing how to feel or regulate my emotions. I felt unseen and unimportant. This lead to many painful lessons. But also the realisation that I could change my own life. Until we learn to re-create ourselves, we are simply products of our conditioning and upbringing. Everyone is doing the best they can, with what they know.
Because I lived with both mental and physical unrest for a period of almost 10 years, suffering from depression and anxiety, PTSD from a sexual assault at 17 and having a significant leg length discrepancy that left me in so much pain I was often unable to move. I honestly hated life. It came to the decision to evolve or die. I couldn’t keep living this way. and so, I spent much time healing.
These are the exact things that lead me to where I am today.
I learnt about anatomy and physiology whilst studying my Certificate IV in remedial massage in my early 20s and became fascinated with how the body was impacted by the mind and vice versa.
I began to explore this deeper, diving into books of self-help, personal development, spirituality and meditation.
I worked closely with people living with mental illnesses and their families, which was an incredible experience in so many ways. During this time I was struggling with an abusive relationship. Unhealthy relationships had actually been a theme throughout my life. Mostly because I hadn’t had any good role models to know what was healthy and lacking self-worth meant I settled for what I believed was normal.
Soon after I hit rock bottom.

In 2017 I drove solo from Townsville, North QLD to NSW and completed an immersive yoga training for 6 weeks. This is when I realised how much everything in life was connected and the potential we all have to create something really wonderful for ourselves.
Mastering a few skills can make all the difference.
For the first time ever, I felt a part of something bigger. I made friends and I gained confidence that I had never had before.
Just four months later I spent four weeks in Sydney studying Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy Ⓡ and Coaching. When I learnt about the brain and human behaviours, values and personality types. I couldn’t help but reflect on who I was. I had spent so long wanting to heal the world and now I realised I needed to do some inner work first.
That same month, I quit my job and I started running my own holistic wellness business, incorporating everything I had learnt. As well as sound healing, music therapy and creativity.
Which had its own challenges and was completely out of my comfort zone. But I was ok with that now, I embraced challenges and I believed in myself.
.
By simply being vulnerable, transparent and speaking openly about my experiences, my business grew. I genuinely believe people need to feel heard and understood. That this allows them to begin the process of unravelling their tightly constricted selves.
Usually, people are afraid to share their stories. So in my doing so, it allowed them to see themselves and to reach out, knowing there would be no judgement.
I now work one on one with people and in group settings and as a Trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy Ⓡ and Coaching. To help the world one person at a time to bring themselves into a space of peace and confidence.
I have run 6 sold-out retreats, over 100 workshops and am consistently working one on one with people ranging from ages 8 to 81. Meeting people where they are at and working in a way that suits them is far more effective than expecting every person to fit a mould. 90% of my clients come from word of mouth. This tells me I am doing something right!
I want to guide as many people as possible, home, to themselves.
My approach is to combine strategy and soul to encourage you to embody both your light and dark and embrace all parts of yourself.
My space is a place of alchemy, bringing you more and more into your deepest truth. So you never settle in your life again.
