Amorah Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy

My eyes leaked when I read this review. You know all the years of university has been worth it when your client has results like this.

I first came across the STARR Program and connected with Lynda around two years ago. The depth and intention behind the work immediately resonated with me, but at the time I wasn’t in a place to fully engage. Two years later, something within me shifted and I knew it was time. I felt called to reach back out and begin.

The STARR Program is a powerful hypnotherapy-based trauma release and reprogramming experience. It gently guides you through healing inner child wounds, limiting beliefs, and deep-rooted patterns without feeling overwhelming or inaccessible. What stood out most to me was the way it helped bypass my usual mental barriers. It created space for authentic expression, deep clarity, and emotional release.

Lynda, as the facilitator, was absolutely incredible. Her presence is warm, intuitive, and deeply grounded. She holds space with compassion and openness, allowing you to feel truly seen and supported. Working with her felt like reconnecting with an old friend, the kind who listens deeply, guides without judgment, and brings out the truth you didn’t know you needed to hear.

Throughout the program, I experienced transformation on multiple levels. I’m now more emotionally regulated, more connected to myself, and far more present in my parenting. I understand myself and others with a clarity I didn’t have before. The personalised hypnotherapy recordings after each session were such a gift; I will continue to revisit them whenever I need to realign.

As a counsellor myself, I deeply value the therapeutic integrity of this work. It’s a program I now speak about often because the changes have been lasting and tangible. I’m genuinely excited to reflect with Lynda again in 12 months’ time and share how far this journey has taken me, because it all began with choosing to say yes to myself through this experience.

I’m to needs truck load of B12 lol

Your brain might not be getting enough B12 — even if your levels are considered "normal." A new study suggests that older adults with lower B12, even within the accepted range, show signs of cognitive decline and brain damage. Researchers found that these individuals had slower thinking and react

Modern psychology wants compliance. Soul work wants truth.

We live in a culture obsessed with diagnosis, optimisation, and quick fixes.

Feel anxious? Here’s a label.

Feel lost? Here’s a morning routine.

Your pain is inconvenient and uncomfortable so medicate it, reframe it, or bury it under productivity.

But what if your anxiety is actually sacred?
What if your sadness is not a bug, but a message?

James Hillman, one of the most radical psychological thinkers of the last century, refused to treat the psyche like a malfunctioning machine. He saw it as poetic, mythic, wild, rather than a flowchart.

Modern psychology asks, “How can we fix this?”
Archetypal psychology asks, “What is this soul image trying to express?”

I don’t work from models that see people as problems to solve. I don’t believe the goal is to be endlessly positive, productive, or "normal."

I believe the goal is to feel deeply, live symbolically, and reclaim the parts of you that were never broken in the first place.

The modern approach is often linear.
Mine is orthogonal.
It doesn’t move forward, it moves inward.

If you’re tired of being reduced to symptoms, strategies, or surface-level self-help, maybe it’s time to go deeper.
To listen to the soul’s code.
To let meaning matter more than mood.

The eulogy I never got to give.

Not for the woman I was —
but for the woman I had to become to survive.

She was agreeable.
She was capable.
She was endlessly understanding.

She learned early how to read the room.
How to keep the peace.
How to be useful, pleasant, and low‑maintenance.

She wore a lot of masks.
Not because she was fake —
but because they worked.

And then menopause arrived.

And suddenly, the masks stopped fitting.
The energy to maintain them disappeared.
The body started telling the truth before the mouth could.

The grief came with it.
Grief for the years of being needed.
Grief for the version of herself that never got a turn.
Grief for a body that no longer lets her override herself.

This isn’t a breakdown.
It’s the end of pretending.

So here’s to the woman I was meant to be —
before the masks,
before the roles,
before survival became a personality.

She was never gone.
She was waiting.

And now…
she finally gets to speak.

✨I work with women who are shedding the masks and ready to meet the version of themselves that was there all along. If this eulogy stirred something inside, let's chat.

🩷 READ ME BEFORE DECEMBER EATS YOU ALIVE

Most women wait until December is already crushing them to start clawing their way out of the emotional RUBBLE.

You know the drill.
🎄The triggers 🎄 The guilt 🎄 The holiday martyrdom tour 🎄
The resentment avalanche.

The “why am I the only adult here?” spiral.

But the SMART ones…
The women who’ve been through enough cycles of collapse to recognise the scent of an incoming storm… prepare BEFORE the slide.

Before the crash.

Before their nervous system taps out.

And if we’re being honest…
That’s why I got together with Bron to build the Enough of the BS Bundle.

Because my life?

Is not some soft-focus, scented-candle, “I journal in sunbeams while my husband makes brunch” aesthetic.

Just grit 👏 rhythm 👏 systems 👏 and the tools I now teach. 👏
I don’t have the LUXURY of falling apart.
I don’t have the privilege of “oh I’ll just rest for a few weeks.”

And yet…
I still MOVE.
I still build.
I still rise.

Not because life is easy…but because I learned how to regulate myself in the middle of MADNESS.

These are the tools that let me stay functional, grounded, and myself through more storms.

They’re the same tools inside the ENOUGH of the BS Bundle. ❤️‍🔥
🙄 They’re not fluffy affirmations.
🙄 Not “raise your vibration” nonsense.
🙄 Not 300-page workbooks you’ll never open.

But PRACTICAL, identity-level recalibration that pulls you back into yourself before the season swallows you whole
☠️ Women who wait for the breakdown… break.
💃 Women who prepare before the slide before it takes them… rise.

So if you're reading this, consider this your gentle warning and your invitation.

You can either brace for the annual December collapse…or you can choose quiet POWER before everything hits.

📣 Pre-Black Friday Sale: $37 until midnight Nov 27
After that, the price jumps to $57, and the early-bird bonuses vanish into the abyss.

If you’ve ever thought: “I wish someone would just hand me the manual for SURVIVING the Silly Season without losing myself,”

Just call me your fairy godmother…because this Bundle is it.🪄

👉 If you’re not waiting for the breakdown this year, here’s your shortcut. Grab the Bundle before the bonuses vanish.

🔥 THE DECEMBER MELTDOWN METER IS LIVE 💣
And honestly?

A LOT of women are already clocking in at somewhere between “Just Tired” and “Considering Staging My Own Strategic Disappearance.”

Here’s the truth nobody puts on their “Festive Season Vibes🎄
” Instagram stories…

Your nervous system isn’t a drama queen. 🎬

She’s a compass and she’s been screaming “NORTH, FFS, NORTH” while you try to hold down the emotional fort for everyone in your orbit.

Women with a heavy invisible load don’t “lose it” in December.
We simply hit MAX CAPACITY after 11 months of carrying emotional ecosystems that were never ours to manage in the first place.

And the wild part?
We STILL think we should be coping better.

We believe s*t like…
🐂💩 “I’m failing because I’m tired.”
🐂💩 “I’m overreacting because I can’t answer one more question about dinner.”
🐂💩 “Everyone else seems fine…maybe I’m the unhinged one?”

NEWSFLASH…
Soooo many women - yes, even the ones who look like they roll out of bed with every strand of hair in perfect position, ready to face the day…are NOT FINE. 🙅‍♀️

They’re performing “fine” while quietly unravelling like a Christmas light strand with one demon bulb. 🎄

👎 December doesn’t break weak women.
💪 December wreaks havoc with STRONG WOMEN who’ve been…
👏 too responsible 👏 too emotionally available 👏 too accommodating 👏 too tired 👏 for way too long.

❤️‍🔥 This is EXACTLY why Bron and I built the Enough of the BS Bundle™

Not because women need motivation.

Not because you need another “fun holiday challenge.”

Definitely not because you need more Pinterest affirmations or spiritual glitter dumps.

But because midlife women need a RESET big enough to feel like a lifeline…🛟

And compact enough to fit into a life that’s already overflowing.

A reset that gives you back…
Your boundaries, without the guilt hangover.
Your clarity, so you can spot BS from 50 metres away.
Your identity, without needing a breakdown to earn it.
Your nervous system, without disappearing to Bali to find God.

Too many women wait until the collapse.

The smart ones reset BEFORE it hits.

If your December Meltdown Meter is creeping up…trust that. 💣

Your system is telling the TRUTH before your mouth accidentally does.

✨ Earlybird ends Nov 27 at midnight.
✨ $37 deal + bonuses evaporate then.

But here’s what the WISE WOMEN know, who’ve been around the block a few times (not the one Jenny came from) 🤷‍♀️

🙅‍♀️ You don’t wait for the breakdown.

💃 You reset and RISE before the crash.

We’ve opened the doors to something we built for women who are at the “Stick a fork in me” stage of DONE.🍴

(and why it matters more than you think)

One of the biggest myths about grief is that it only belongs to the moments we can name — a death, an ending, a collapse of something we loved.

But for many midlife women, grief is far more layered.
Some grief never had a funeral.
Some doesn’t announce itself — it gathers quietly in the body as tension, irritability, exhaustion, emotional reactivity, or numbness.
We often label it burnout, hormones, or even personality, when underneath it’s unprocessed loss.

Not just who you lost… but what you never had:

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑑𝑛’𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑑

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒𝑡𝑦 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑖𝑑𝑛’𝑡 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙 𝑎𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑑

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑑

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑔𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑝𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒, 𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑔𝑜 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒

These, too, are forms of grief. And the nervous system treats them much like death itself — through:

𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑠

𝑇𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑢𝑡, 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠

𝐸𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝑜𝑟 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠

𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑝 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠

𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑦 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑗𝑜𝑦, 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒

Not because you’re unstable, but because grief is a physiological process — one your body may have been trying to complete for years, even decades.

When grief goes unmoved, it doesn’t disappear. It crystallises into perfectionism, over-functioning, people-pleasing, and the “good girl” identity we create to outrun the ache.

This is why so many women reach a breaking point between 40 and 55.
It’s not a crisis — it’s the accumulation of every ungrieved moment finally asking to be met.

And here’s the truth: when you allow that grief to move — somatically, safely, and in community — it doesn’t destroy you. It frees you.

The parts of you locked in sorrow return as strength, boundaries, intuition, and self-trust.
Grief becomes a resource, not a ruin.

This is why Bron and I are co-facilitating The Five Gates of Grief: A Midlife Reclamation Retreat in May, 2026.

Because midlife grief is different — quieter, more complex, woven through identity, self-loss, motherhood, caregiving, masking, menopause, and all the lives we’ve held together while pieces of us went missing.

At the retreat, we’ll work with:

𝑈𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑡 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑓

𝐼𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑓

𝐴𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑓

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑓 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓-𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡

𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑓 𝑜𝑓 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠, 𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑖𝑑𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

Through ritual, nervous-system-first practices, memory reconsolidation, body-led release, and community witnessing — the way humans are meant to grieve.
Not rushed. Not sanitised. Not alone.

If this speaks to you — not as drama but as truth — and you’d like to explore whether this retreat is calling you, message me the word RETREAT.
No pressure, just clarity.

Because the grief you haven’t yet met might be the doorway to the woman you’ve been becoming all along.

Today we remember all who lost their lives fighting for our FREEDOM.

Today is also a day we use cash to keep it circulating so we have the FREEDOM to spend/save it as we choose.
