My Story

Pain has been my biggest teacher, it has pushed me to learn more, I wanted to know more, I wanted to know why, why am I feeling this way, what's triggered it, how to fix it, I always wanted to get to the root cause and I didn't just want to take all of the prescription medication the doctors would generally recommend to someone in my condition. 

 

My health journey really started with just small things, I didn't really have any guidance to help, I changed my diet, I did some low tox detoxing of all of my products, tried to just become more aware of my body, the pain I’m in but nobody ever mentioned the breath… or even really the mind to be honest. 

 

I was at my first osteo appointment in around 2015 and in my very first appointment (I went there for my chronic chest pain, I have Costochondritis) when he said to me “you don’t breathe very well”…. "what do you mean I don't breathe very well… I'm alive, I don't understand what you mean", I was never taught how to breathe how do you not breathe right? From there once I became more aware of my breath and that I was shallow chest breathing into my ribcage causing it to to flare up,  I was probably more stressed than I am now (unconsciously) but that was only really the tip of the iceberg that really gave me some awareness into the breath. From there i studies my Reiki Masters and really got a taste of traditional healing. 

Fast-forward to several years later and I was getting an abdominal ultrasound done and the technician said to me “you breathe really well, I can see your internal organs being massaged” I can’t tell you how happy that made me, little did i know there was even more to the breath!

 

Several years ago before the start of the pandemic I started studying  Ayurveda which really resonated with me mainly because Ayurveda is about getting to the root cause, it didn't want to treat just the symptoms, it wants to find out what was wrong and how to fix it, so I started studying Ayurveda and that lead to tantric hatha yoga which then led me to studying yogic meditation, breathwork and yoga nidra. During the Meditation studies doing breathwork and yoga nidra I was encouraged to try different types of breathwork or meditation classes and I tried one locally, I didn't know anything about it, there was no explanation beforehand, it was quite jarring I found it, I thought it would be dangerous for a lot of people, we weren’t asked any health questions, no mental health questions and we just kind of went in we had earphones on loud music someone talking over the top like motivational speaking, “you can do it”, “let’s go”…. It was distracting.  I walked away from the intrigued but I didn't really like it so I wanted to know more.  Then I found another breathwork in Byron Bay it made more sense, everything fell into place she explained the who, what, when, where and why of what we were doing how it worked in the body, what we were going to do, the journey we were going to go on, how we were going to be supported and since then I love it I am so interested in learning more and what I have learnt so far I think is so valuable that I now want to share with you so I hope that just gives you a brief of my journey, we’ve all got our story and I'd love to help you heal!

 

Bigger picture, the more people that join the healing journey, the better a world we will create. We will have more empathetic, kind, soft and calm people in this world bringing more peace, for our children and our children's children.
