Justine is a holistic mental health counsellor, author & public speaker. At 21 years old, l emigrated to Australia to escape a colourful childhood. I had a successful private practice working as a holistic mental health counsellor until 2011 when I became chronically ill.

urinary stress incontinence was due to big baby boys. I had a pelvic mesh implant. The implant worked for a few months until life got crazy. My parents passed away, I was suffering from chronic illnesses, trying to run two businesses & I went through a divorce. I found out that the implant was the cause of my chronic illness in August 2017.

“Darkness Was My Teacher”

The light in me exists because I dared to befriend the dark.

There were seasons where I felt completely undone—where the scaffolding of who I thought I had to be crumbled around me.
Anger. Shame. Deep grief.
Not emotions I was taught to welcome.
But they came anyway. Loud. Heavy. Unrelenting.

I used to think healing meant rising above them.
But what saved me… was the descent.

To sit in the discomfort.
To let the tears come.
To stop performing resilience and instead fall—softly—into truth.

Today, book in hand, I’m not just reading—I’m remembering.
That every soul journey begins not with fixing what’s broken, but by listening to what’s hurting.
And when we do, we don’t just find peace.
We find our power.

I used to fear my anger. Thought it meant I was broken, out of control, or failing at being “calm.”
But the more I listened, the more I saw it was trying to protect something sacred.
Anger isn’t the problem. Silence is.

Will’s journey is a reminder that transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but through consistent, compassionate support.
It’s an honour to walk beside people as they return to themselves. 🌿

This series isn’t about digging up the past to stay stuck in it.
It’s about giving voice to the parts of you that were silenced —
so they can soften, integrate, and finally rest.

This is nervous system work.
This is sacred work.
This is how we begin to shift the way we move through life — with intention, not reaction.

Slowing down is a conscious recalibration.
A way of saying: “I matter too.”

This is the work — learning to stay present without becoming flooded.
Learning to care deeply without losing yourself in the process.

The world may be loud. But you still get to choose your pace.

So many of us are living in a constant state of alert — our nervous systems stretched thin by the noise, the speed, the pain of the world.
We scroll, absorb, react, repeat — and call it staying informed.
But it’s costing us our capacity to be present.

Small moments of calm matter.
They ripple outward.

We all carry childhood wounds. That’s not a flaw — it’s part of being human.

But the question is: do we let that unhealed inner child drive our adult decisions? Do we let their fears shape our relationships, our reactions, our sense of worth?

The experiences we had in early life — feeling unseen, unheard, unsafe — don’t just disappear with age. They live in our nervous systems, in our patterns, in the parts of us that feel reactive, avoidant, or overly responsible.

In therapy, we don’t try to silence that inner child. We learn to listen to them, soothe them, and remind them that we are safe now. That we’re no longer 7 years old navigating the world alone. That we have choice, voice, and support.

When we bring awareness to those old stories, we loosen their grip.
And slowly, we stop reacting from the wound — and start responding from the adult we’re becoming.

Let’s make space together.
Turn off the “shoulds”.

Light a candle.
Breathe.

You don’t have to do anything right now.
Just be with yourself. That’s enough. You are enough.

23/06/2025

You don’t have to push through to heal.
You can soothe through.

Every moment of rest is a love note to your nervous system.
A chance to rewire your stress responses with softness instead of urgency.

20/06/2025

In stillness, the noise fades. The clarity rises.
Your intuition doesn’t shout — it whispers in the silence.

The more you rest, the more you create space to hear.
Stillness isn’t empty.

It’s sacred space.
And your soul whispers there.

18/06/2025

Don’t rush to “move on” from something profound.
Don’t skip the stillness that allows it to root.
Give yourself the gift of spaciousness. Let the shift settle into your cells.

Our story

Hi, I am a 49 year old mother of 2, a digital nomad, British born Holistic Counsellor who emigrated to Australia at 21 to escape a colourful childhood. I had a successful private practise until 7 years ago when i started to get chronically ill. Fortunately, i had moved to Bali to deal with classic therapist "burn out", only to find out that my decreasing energy levels, constant infections, chronic illnesses, low grade pain et al was due to a simple overnight medical procedure for stress urinary incontinence (affects 50% of mothers after childbirth) due to big babies (both 4-5kg's! now 6"5 & 6'8" and still growing!) A Transvaginal mesh implant. Needless to say, the implant worked for a few months, life got crazy, dying parents, chronic illness, 2 businesses, divorce etc etc and here i am. I only found out that the implant was the cause of my chronic illness in August 2017 - it is now 7th Oct and I sit in Los Angeles preparing for my mesh removal in St Louis on 14th Oct 2017. I had 19 days to prepare for this surgery, i dodged a volcano, wasted 3 days on public holidays, traversed 4 time zones, liquidated everything i owned, overcame administration mayhem and every feasible thing that could go wrong doing so..... Now i wish to share this with anyone who needs to hear this.........Welcome to my journey - Pelvic Mesh, journey to recovery
