How I came to Nourish My Self

In 2015/16 I was not coping so well, but didn’t realise that there was anything wrong. I had young kids and just thought I was tired because of this. But I only had 1-3 days a month where I felt I had energy...the rest of the time, I felt like I was dragging myself around. I was also experiencing dizziness, shakiness, a constantly sore throat, headaches, migraines, erratic emotions and irregular menstrual cycles among other things. Some of which I had suffered for years and come to think of as “something I had to live with.” I would doubt myself, thinking it was all in my head...felt isolated because everyone else seemed to be coping...became despondent because I wasn’t enjoying my kids.

A friend recommended an integrated doctor. This started me on a long and wandering journey to feeling better. Along the way, I made lots of discoveries, made adjustments to some aspects of my life and practiced tools and techniques that allow self-management of my wellness. The more I talked about all of this, the more I realised I was not the only one to have this experience. A lot of people seemed to be struggling through life feeling less than well and not knowing what to do, where to look or if anything was even wrong.

Through this journey, I began to feel that unless a person had sufficient funds, was acutely unwell and forced to spend money on themselves to get treatment/diagnosis or knew who/what to ask, then this information was like looking for a needle in a haystack. I developed a passion to want to make this information more accessible.

One of the things that I felt when I was at my worst, was guilt. Guilt that I had a comfortable life but wasn’t coping. What I have learnt through this journey, is that everyone is different. Everyone has a different birth, upbringing, past and present as well as different genes and a different body that has done different things. And we have different tolerances.

So I developed Nourish My Self, in which I guide participants to figure out what works best for themselves at this time in their life. The main tool I offer in this course is tuning into your body to allow you to assess how you are, what you need and gain confidence to honour those needs. Coming from a dance background, I feel confident in offering this technique as I have been practicing these skills for much of my life, but more consciously and understandingly over the last few years.

I feel like my journey is like a big jigsaw puzzle. So far I have figured out why I might have developed adrenal fatigue, that hypoglycemia is possibly part of the cause, that my anger issues could be partly be caused by hypoglycemia and certainly caused by conditioning and that many other things are linked. And so it made sense to me to create a holistic course with the intention of supporting participants to find answers and gain more balance in life.

I grew a desire to offer information and provide a supportive space in which to practice tools and techniques. The more I talked about this idea, the more support I received so it seemed like the right thing to do. I could not have done this by myself...I am so grateful for all the support I have received on this journey and the friendships that have developed. This is why some of the topics I cover are things like community and communication. These are some of the things that support us in life. Sometimes we forget, or didn’t realise, how important they are.

Nourish My Self consists of meditation, exercises, self-enquiry, written tasks, relaxation techniques and information. I wanted it to be accessible, versatile, non-intimidating, non-confrontational and practical.

If any of this resonates with you, (or you know of someone who might benefit from reading this), feel free to share or get in touch. I would love to hear from you, share with you and hopefully help you on your journey to finding a healthy balance in life.

Warm Wishes,
