As some of you may be aware, I recently had a major health event that made me reassess absolutely everything.

My Endo & fibro has been flaring over the last few months & it all culminated in a haemorrhagic cyst rupture that landed me in hospital. An overnight stay away from my babies, them witnessing me screaming in agony, tied to tubes, injected and assessed, uncertainty as to what or why... The pain was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before,my nervous system was screaming.
I’d been ignoring my body’s cues to slow down & contradicting the very advice I’d give to others. I was pushing through for fear of being seen as inferior or weak & it all became too much for my body to bear.

I had to make a really tough decision: to step down from my role within the amazing women’s empowerment events business I’d been a part of, 🙏🏽 to focus purely on my own healing, & therefore the development and organic growth of The Wellness Space.

This space is now dedicated to my journey back to self, using somatic movement, embodied dance, yoga & sound to regulate my nervous system, release what no longer serves, & truly listen to my body’s wisdom.

A journal of what I’m learning & embodying.

I’m forever grateful for the amazing skills I’ve learned over the years & the beautiful humans I’ve connected with, but it’s time I focus on me, my family, my health, & see how life unfolds.

This space is for those of you who want to feel true embodiment, who want to feel seen, who maybe have chronic pain, suffer with Endometriosis, PMDD, Fibromyalgia, migraines, or maybe you’re just passionate about yoga, community, somatic work & embodied movement?

I’m confident there will be something for everyone to relate to here: self-growth, reflection, revelation, health awareness, mental health support, yoga, sound therapy, somatic & embodied movement... It’s all going to be shared in this Wellness Space.

Thank you for being here, for supporting me in this space. Im excited to see how this journey unfolds but I am not rushing to find out.
Healing takes time, presence, awareness & softness.
No hustle, game plan or rushing.
Just pure embodiment.

A new season for The Wellness Space. 🌱

As some of you may be aware, I recently had a major health event that made me reassess absolutely everything.

My Endo had been flaring due to intense stress, and it all culminated in a haemorrhagic cyst rupture that landed me in hospital. An overnight stay away from my babies, them witnessing my screaming in agony, tied to tubes, injected and assessed, uncertainty as to what or why... The pain was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before, and the drugs left me feeling delusional, unconscious, and numb.

The cause was clear: my nervous system was screaming.

For too long, I’d been operating out of alignment, ignoring my body’s cues to slow down, and contradicting the very advice I’d give to others. I was pushing through for fear of being judged as inferior or weak. It all became too much for my body to bear, and my Endometriosis flared up, demanding attention.

I had to make a really tough decision: to step down from my role within the amazing women's empowerment events business I'd been a part of, to focus purely on my own healing, and therefore the development and organic growth of The Wellness Space.

This space is now dedicated to the journey back to Self, using somatic movement, embodied dance, and yoga to regulate the nervous system, release what no longer serves, and truly listen to the body's wisdom.

I'm forever grateful for the amazing skills I've learned over the years and the beautiful humans I've connected with, but it's time I focus on me, my family, my health, and see where this all leads.

This space is for those of you who want to feel true embodiment, who want to feel seen, who maybe have chronic pain or suffer with Endometriosis, PMDD, Fibromyalgia, or maybe you're just passionate about yoga, community, somatic work & embodied movement?

I'm confident there will be something for everyone to relate to here: self-growth, reflection, revelation, health awareness, mental health support, yoga, sound therapy, somatic and embodied movement... It's all going to be shared in this Wellness Space.

Thank you for being here, for supporting me in this space. Im excited to see how this journey unfolds but I am not rushing to find out. Healing takes time, presence, awareness and softness.
No hustle, game plan or rushing here.

Just pure embodiment.

Navigating this portal of transition…
the shedding, unfolding, remembering,
the realising of who I’m not
and the return to who I truly am —
it’s ego-destroying.
A beautiful unveiling. ✧

Just before I stepped into the EMBER teacher training, my body began whispering… then shouting.
Energy draining.
Feeling misaligned with my work.
The instinctive pull to withdraw.
A deep knowing that change was coming.

And the moment the journey began, my body finally felt safe enough to release everything it had been holding.
The dam broke.

My nervous system went haywire,
intense pain, endometriosis flare, haemorrhagic cysts,
random nerve surges all over my body, full-body fatigue, chronic dizziness,
widespread pain, insomnia, nightmares.
All of it. All at once.

But I’m grateful for the shadow work that’s carried me here, because I recognised this as an initiation.
This is happening for me, not to me.

I’m meeting every sensation with presence.
Letting the ego dissolve.
Letting the truth rise.
Letting my roots thicken as I grow through the dark.

This is the messy, sacred part of becoming.
The heaviness before the light.
The unraveling before the expansion. ✦

I’m embracing all of it.
