it’s long overdue; the return to social media (instagram, Facebook, maybe tiktok?) to spread awareness of holistic health together. I wanted to share why I’d taken a break from social media and targeted my clients directly instead of sharing posts here and spreading information to the masses. I relocated to from Melbourne to FNQ after COVID’s lockdown; with a social anxiety I’d newly discovered and traumas of my own, through long term isolation and being triggered into survival mode, with freedoms stripped from us and beliefs that had been warped and bruised. I needed time to relearn myself, my abilities and my placement in this crazy world. Finding myself engulfed in a beautiful community in Kuranda. where i have allowed myself rest and play while experiencing new challenges and tests of my own self worth. I stripped back my ego, beginning a new journey of true self discovery, as we are always evolving, changing and growing we must be reintroduced to our sense of self often. I’ve learned more about our beautiful earth, how to protect and care for it, also how to recognise the life still blooming and thriving around us. an important understanding of chemicals in beauty products poisoning our minds and bodies, with unattainable beauty standards. I’m ashamed to admit how vain I am, I was addicted to my appearance for a very long time, stripping back to a natural state was extremely uncomfortable for me , still I fake tan on the occasion (old habits die hard) but I’ve removed my hair&lash extensions, fake nails, tanning injections, even let my Botox/lip filler wear off. Stopped my daily 7 step skincare routine and minimised heat on my hair.. detoxing my skin and body was not a sight for sore eyes, I definitely didn’t like my exterior for a while but filling my life with new habits, swimming in fresh waterfalls almost daily, dancing/walking intentionally and barefoot. experimenting with my own mind in collective gatherings through dance, nature and laughter. I can proudly say I am in awe of the women I am now.. travelling has always been a huge impact in my life. I am blessed beyond belief with the beauty I’ve seen around Australia, this next chapter though!!
