Like many, my path into healing and therapeutic work was shaped by my lived experiences and an increasing awareness of their impact on my mental, physical and spiritual health. During childhood, I carried significant grief, loss, and trauma without the tools needed to truly process my experiences. Over time, this showed up in unhealthy coping strategies, addiction, recurring depression, and a growing sense of disconnection from myself and my body.
At 37, my diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes became an undeniable turning point, a profound wake up call that brought into sharp focus the many warning signs that my body had been offering (and I had been ignoring) all along. It was confronting, humbling, and ultimately clarifying.
In 2018, after reaching a particularly difficult low point and with the support of those closest to me, I made a clear and intentional commitment to life. That choice set me on a deep and often challenging journey of healing and self-discovery. Along the way, I have worked with a wide range of therapies and learned from many incredible practitioners, teachers and mentors. I have experienced profound shifts, transformation and learning in every step. In 2019, through my Reiki training, I began holding space for others and their healing in a professional context.
The work felt like a homecoming, bringing together all I had learned into a natural and authentic way of offering support. Despite all of this though, I still felt as though something essential was just out of reach. It wasn’t until I encountered somatic work that things truly began to settle and integrate. In 2022, I had the realisation that I had spent much of my life disconnected from my body, unsure of what it actually felt like to be grounded, present, and safe within myself. I began exploring gentle, body-led practices that prioritised nervous system support, focusing mainly on gentle forms of Breathwork and TRE (Trauma Release Exercises).
​Breathwork, in particular, became a profound teacher. Through my own healing journey with the breath, I was introduced to the AIR School of Breathwork and completed their professional diploma, graduating in August 2025. This work continues to deepen my respect for the body’s innate wisdom and its capacity to heal when met with patience, compassion, and care.
​
My story has laid the foundations for how I work today. I believe that deep healing and meaningful transformation are available to all of us. With the right support, a safe and nurturing space, and practices that honour both the nervous system and the subtle energy of the body, we can reconnect; to
our breath, to our bodies, and to the quiet, compassionate healing space that already lives within us.
