After moving to the goldcoast in 2021 I decided to go to a sister circle, not knowing anyone but with a desire to connect and meet people.

It just so happened that .emily was facilitating art therapy that day. We had never met before and due to mutual friends only crossed paths a few times here and there.

Fast forward to this present moment ~ life has landed both of us on the south coast. For me it’s back home to my roots and for Em it’s a beautiful new place to call home.

Em reached out to ask if I knew of anyone in the area who may run women’s events (without knowing I had moved back) as she was feeling the call to deepen her community here.

I laughed as soon as I received the message as I had also been seeking women’s events.

The unfolding began from that very moment. A reconnection & the seed that was unknowingly planted so many years ago started to grow.

We have since sat intentionally and really felt into what it is we both desired to co-create. We have nurtured and nourished the seed and it feels so wild, beautiful and expansive to see it come into bloom.

A Birthing of the .co a safe space for women to come to gather, connect and be immersed in community. Allowing the opportunity for self exploration and expression through healing therapies. Being surrounded by those who are on the same journey of deepening their connection to self and others.

with that is has landed us to create our first womens event.

One of the biggest key benefits of Breathwork & Hypnotherapy is that they minimise the amount of shame, blame & judgment that we can experience when it comes to actually opening up & talking about our problems!🤍

For many of us this can be what prevents us from seeking help in the first place.

Not only because we are our own harshest critic but we fear others opinions

Scared we will look broken or weak, as we have unfortunately been conditioned that if we are struggling then there must be something wrong with us.

For me personally i remember my very first experience with a councillor. 

I had just lost my dad to cancer & was back at school.

Angry at the world and just didn’t care anymore.
The principal came and got me from the library, sent me to her officer where the councillor was waiting.

Rage and shame was pulsing through my body ! Sitting there arms crossed & embarrassed because “nothing was wrong with me” & Im at school I need to “fit in”

The next challenge came up for me when I was struggling with bullimia ~ again shame raised its head

I was met with either stay suffering or take down my armour- be vulnerable & reach out for help..

It wasn’t easy or the smoothest journey as I bounced through a few different therapies & all the talking & being misunderstood got exhausting. 

Until I finally found the one person who truly got me & introduced me to breathwork & hypnosis.

Two therapies that require minimal words ~ meaning they go beyond the logic mind / inner critic !

Turning it down so that it’s not so loud and signals that it is safe to relax

From this space you can begin to reconnect to your bodies wisdom, your emotions & feelings.

Getting to the root cause of what it going on ~ without the constant shaming, judging or criticising yourself that may prevent you.

Allowing you to hold yourself with a lot more empathy & compassion.

Cultivating more self-love & acceptance

Realising your coping mechanism- the things you have been punishing yourself for are actually a protection mechanism.

A way to keep yourself safe, when you didn’t know any other way to handle the overwhelming amount of pain that you were experiencing !

Life always has its own plan that never goes according to our own & mine has had me close a beautiful chapter in Byron Bay and landed me back to the roots of where I grew up in Wollongong 🫶🏻

I left working as a boxing and Muay Thai trainer and now I am a professional ox*gen breathwork therapist, clinical hypnotherapist working with sound, colour, energy and the mind-body-soul connection.

I am really excited to be able to bring these client led services back to my home town and offer them to the beautiful community here.

If you are living in the area and are seeking an alternative therapy to support you in a gentle and nurturing way the let’s connect.

My intention is to hold a safe space for you to unravel, let go and release all that is holding you back and blocking you from the life you desire to live and who you desire to be.

Allowing you to rebuild a strong foundation of safety, trust, self-love, self-worth, health, wholeness & empowerment.

If you are struggling with body dysmorphia and are looking to finally be able to break-free from the constant hyper vigilance and the exhausting self-criticism then I would love to be able to support you on this journey! 🫶🏻

I know what it is like to live with BDD as I personally I have had a long history - the constant body checking, waking up hating the reflection that looks back at you in the mirror, hyper focused on that one part of your body that has such an impact on your mood and mental health, every thought is consumed by the way you look. It’s exhausting and depleting.

I believed I was going to have suffer with this for the rest of my life, that I was just born this way.

Yet along my own healing journey and therapeutic studies I’ve discovered that there is a possibility to overcome it, heal and return to a space of self-acceptance, confidence and love

That your body doesn’t have to feel like your constantly trapped in a jail cell or living in a never ending war.

That you can begin to feel at home in your body again, develop a level of safety and trust with it and feel a sense of inner freedom and peace.

Where it no longer rules your life.

Instead you are able to re-wire your beliefs, thoughts, feelings and habits and create new, positive and empowering ones.

Ones that help you unlock that inner confidence, self-belief & self-love.

What I have also come to understand - is that it is a symptom to a deep seeded emotional issue that is just crying out for attention and for you to listen to it so it can finally be resolved.

Asking for your awareness because it’s showing you that something is happening on a subconscious level that is out of alignment with your true state and well-being.

By blending both ox*gen breathwork and hypnotherapy you are able to get to the root cause of what is going on and be able to start re-defining and re-creating what it means to love and accept your body again.

Finally being able to feel empowered within your own skin.

If your ready to transform the way you see yourself then let’s co-create

Big Love Whit xx

Do you hear people talk about how you just need to trust & let your intuition lead
but perhaps you don’t really know how or where to start??

Well I want to share a few things I’ve learnt about following your intuition ..

~ Most times it makes no logical sense.. yet you have a deep knowing its the right thing

~ it’s not until you look back, do you realise all the dots add up

~ It requires redeveloping a sense of safety and trust within yourself, your body and in something bigger

~ Following it goes against anything society normally tells you to do, so it can feel a little scary and uncomfortable at first.

~ it is within the silence and quite we can here it the most… For me personally at first I thought it would be this big loud voice in my head and now Ive learnt that its actually the little whispers, the nudges, the gut feelings… the pull towards or away from something..

~ it can be as small as the urge to go to a random coffee shop, or as big as packing up your life and moving across the world.

Recently I have been proven again that when I am in my heart, guided by my intuition it never leads me in the wrong direction…

The synchronicities become too real.
The magic that begins to unfold
That you don’t need to know the how but to have full trust and surrender.

And that is where the real work begins…

As we live in a world that teaches us to stay in our head and ignore our body and our intuition
To force and control instead of surrender and flow..
To be fearful and not trust that life is working out for us and wants us to win.

Yet through the breath you can begin to re-establish your faith and trust with yourself, your body & something bigger.
You can being to reclaim a sense of safety in yourself & in your life.
You can begin to quiet the mind in order to hear your intuition & heart desires

Because when you connect with the breath you are connecting to the essence of life itself.

And from this space you can begin to let the subtle whisper of your intuition lead, to lean back into life open your arms to surrendering and trust that you will always be caught

Ready to live a heart led & intuitive life? Then let’s connect

Kids can be our biggest teachers if we let them.. and the last few weeks I have been learning and constantly reminded of so many thing’s.

It had me thinking about how did we all get so far away from our innocent child like nature.. how come the world we live in strips us bare from it & how can we begin to reconnect to our inner child..

~ PRESENCE: they are in there own little world, embracing what is going on in the here and now. They dont worry about what comes next or what has been; they are the shining light of presence.

~ TRUTH SPEAKERS - oh how do they speak whats on their mind, no filter, no fear about what others think, just straight truth..

~ IMPERFECTION ~ They dress how ever they want too - if given the choice their outfits are wild, crazy, mismatching, They colour outside the lines, they paint whatever they want, they eat random combinations of food, their dance moves are next level & yet its all perfect in their eyes

~ EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION - 
they express & let their emotions & feelings out ! Yet the most incredible things to witness is just how quickly they let them go and move through them. One minute they are, crying, screaming and then the next they have let it go, moved onto the next thing, started to play and laugh again like nothing even happened.

~ SELF-LOVE ~ how they love themselves and think they are the the best thing ever ! Standing in the mirror completely vibing on what they see looking back at them. They love who they are, they love their bodies, their hair, everything about them…

All these things that now as an adult on my own healing journey has been about coming back home too.

using breathwork and hypnotherapy to peel back the layers ,limitations , releasing the emotions & processing the childhood trauma.

Remembering that innocence, love, presence, self-expression, speaking our truth, imperfection and our emotions are safe and we get to embrace them.

That this work is the reclamation of authenticity and feeling worthy

Coming back home to the child like nature…. 
In order to live a life of true freedom and so much more joy.

Perhaps your childhood holds many hidden keys to your own healing.

An online 1:1 offering for you to make the return to your true self…coming home to who you really are before the world told you who you should be, Before you traded thriving for surviving…🫶🏻

A space for you to unravel, let go and release all that is holding you back and blocking you from the life you desire to live, the woman you know you where destined to be.. the love, joy and happiness you crave and are worthy of having.

Allowing you to rebuild a strong foundation of self-love, self-worth, confidence , health, wholeness & empowerment.

To tend to your real home - your mind, body and soul and create your own inner sanctuary.

Emerging from my own journey of healing and therapeutic background as an ox*gen breathwork therapist and clinical hypnotherapist

Following the loss of my dad at the age fourteen.. feeling like my life had been obliterate into tiny pieces, my sense of trust taken away, my internal safety non-existent, that feeling of home.. turning into just a house.

These moments created my internal foundations out of sticks instead of bricks..

Which went on to shape a life where I developed eating disorders, body image issues, battled with my mental health, never feeling worthy of a happy life or one where I wasn’t suffering.

I had found familiarity in the pain and misery. Accepting this as my baseline.

yet in hindsight I can see now that I needed to go through it all

To gain a deep understanding that in order to truly thrive in life we must cultivate a strong internal foundation…

one of inner safety , trust and self-love.

We must go within and look at our healing holistically - taking into consideration the whole human- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

So if you are woman ready to recreate your own inner sanctuary, to tend to your true home.. to start cultivating that level of safety and trust inside of yourself again.

Then I would love to support you.

Through the blending of ox*gen breathwork, hypnosis and Aiyana Chroma colour therapy, you will be gently guided and held in a safe space as you come home to yourself once again.

Send me a message to book your first session

With a whole lot of love

We grieve because we loved deeply, yet the same love we feel we lost ~ can be the same love that heals our wounds from the past ♥️🤍

I was at work the other week, having a really beautiful conversation with a gentleman and as we continued to speak we ended up on the topic of me loosing my dad…

which slowly merged into how breathwork was the most healing therapy I’ve used in my life…

And he laughed a little and goes well no wonder your a breathwork therapist it makes so much sense..

As his background is in Chinese medicine

And in Chinese medicine they say that the lungs are the storehouse for grief…

As of course because the breath draws in new life and lets go of the old. It is the starting point to life itself and it is the ending point to it too.

So where else would grief be stored but in the organ in our body that is the conductor of life itself…

And you may think this is a little to woo woo or doesn’t make logical sense but I can be a testimony to this from personal experience

As the amount of layers of grief I have been able to move through in my breathwork sessions continues at times to surprise me.

How one person can store so much grief in their bodies and have no true awareness of it, until we give ourselves the time and space to actually go within and feel.

How heavy it is to carry that amount of grief around with us.

To never truly let go of the past but continually hold onto it and take us everywhere we go….

Now I believe grief doesn’t have to be just from loosing someone we love, but any loss … from endings of a relationship , friendships growing apart , loss of a pet, letting go of an identity, a job ….

Anything where there is an ending..
But with endings comes new beginnings
With death comes life
One cannot co -exist without the other…

Yet perhaps if we continually hold onto the old, how do we ever create space for the new to enter…

With every breath though we can honour the past, allow ourselves to grieve what was and then begin to let love back in to re-heal.

Setting ourselves free and opening up to what is yet to be…, drawing in a new beginning..

Big love

What is the point of working with a breathwork therapist ? 🤍

Well perhaps if your anything like me often we can blow up the stories in our mind so big that they can cloud our ability to see the reality of the situation and the truth of whats actually occurring.

When we are so thick in our own sh*t it is hard to see which way is up or down… or our way out of it..

At times it can consume you, have you feeling like your paralysed or spiralling down a negative hole… you know something needs to change but you don’t know where to start.. or how..

When we have someone there who can support us, 
Give us a loving kick up the but when we need it,
Speak honest with us,
Who can see our blind spots and whats really going on
Speak those words you needed to hear that are like an instant soothing for your soul

Giving you the tools you needed to move through it, to hold that safe space & allow yourself to take a huge exhale as you slowly get to the root cause of what was causing your suffering..

To make you feel seen, understood, validated ~ like your not crazy, or alone, your just human who needs a little extra love & guidance

Someone who has walked the path before you, knows what your going through but holds the belief & faith in their heart that you will get through it , because they have & they know its possible for you too..

It gives us flexibility, freedom, hope, confidence, a new perspective, different insights & more choices.

It allows us to see the light in our situation & the sense of empowerment to face our challenges. It shows us that we are worthy of taking care of our mental, emotional, physical & spiritual health.

I believe that in itself it the most beautiful thing about having support from a therapist.

As for me personally I have worked with my own for the last eleven years, she has guided me in so many ways and helped shape me into the women I am today, it is why I followed this path and now work in this space

So just know that you never have to walk this path alone
There are those out there like me who are both qualified and have the lived experience to support you

Big Love Whit

Where pain merges into remembering that the answer has always been love. 🫶🏻

There is a beautiful moment in the breath that I have both experienced and witnessed and it always moves me

Its this moment when it finally hits you
Like the wave of awareness washes over you
The point of realisation where the pain of the past has surfaced
The heavy emotions are coming up for you to feel

The illumination of all the limits that have been placed upon you
The times you gave away your power and stopped believing that you were loveable or worthy
The times you let someone else tell you who or what you should be
The moment when something happened in your life and you couldn’t give yourself what you needed
The times you judged yourself, criticised yourself or treated yourself so harshly
The times you hid, shrunk or shut down

Its all coming to the forefront and it reaches its peak
Before its like a switch is flipped and you finally remember
The answer has always been love.

That all you needed in every single one of those moments was your own love, gentleness and compassion

So you begin to hold yourself in it all
You love yourself through it all
You let the tears flow and you hold your heart
You wrap your arms around yourself and you say I’m sorry
You begin to forgive yourself for ever letting anything outside of you tell you that you were any less worthy or good enough

In this moment it feels like you are breaking but really your just cracking through the armour you have placed around your heart and are slowly letting yourself open up to life once more.

You are remembering that you are already whole
You are coming home a little more to your soul.

You allowing your pain to merge back into love

Your allowing for true healing to occur.

So today I ask you where can you meet yourself with more love ?

Whit
Xx
