Challenges that became a gift and a passion that blossomed into a whole lifestyle. After growing up with a parent with bipolar and mental health struggles of my own, a fascination with our human nature grew and grew. Teenage years into early twenties felt full of unease, anxiety and helplessness. Either feeling absolutely numb or overwhelmed by emotion, I felt exhausted and frustrated with myself and what felt like a world I didn’t fit into.

To make things more fiddly, I was struck with chronic fatigue and endometriosis. Without realising it at the time, this became my gateway into slowing down and reflecting. During this time, nudges began to arise about different paths and ways of being. From someone who thought they were doing all the ‘right’ things, my intense curiosity and passion for more integrative approaches that fell outside the box was sparked. This meant stepping away from a path that I thought I had to live into in order to meet societal expectations. It felt scary, lonely yet also something I knew I had to do.

Years on, many detours and fumbles, here I am! Teaching holistic introspective modalities that have offered me the opportunity to notice, feel, hold and understand the tender, tricky, tense, and confusing parts of who I am.
