About me

For many years it would appear I was living the dream. Working in the documentary film industry, travelling the world and having epic adventures. So why was it that by age 25 I found myself burnt out in my health, relationships and career. I was working at the BBC at the time, which felt like the pinnacle of success for the daughter of immigrants, and I remember feeling too ashamed to tell anyone about the amount of pain I was in everyday. I would drag my body out of bed and my housemate would comb my hair, then I'd stuff my aching body into my car and stumble awkwardly around the office. Life felt completely unbearable and I felt I had no choice but to take prescription medication at that point. But I knew there had to be another way to live life and feel healthy, so I searched for answers.

​

As a child and teenager I would get colds and headaches frequently, but it wasn't until the age of 21 after a horrific bout of food poisoning that left me bed bound for two weeks, that things really started to ramp up with my health issues. First it was candida and fungal infections, then chronic migraine. A few years later I was diagnosed with two auto-immune disease and was suffering from a whole host of mystery symptoms. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, chronic migraine, leaky gut syndrome, lichen sclerosus, chronic candida issues, chronic fungal infections, fibroids, fatigue, countless food sensitivities, blood circulation issues, lymphedema, hair loss, hormonal issues and so much more. 

​

My body was screaming at me and taking prescription medication for the rest of my life was not what I wanted. So I had to look elsewhere. Initially I took the physical route - following the medical medium protocols and becoming a strict raw vegan, then I tried the Keto Diet, the Candida Diet, Dr Morse's supplements, Chinese medicinal teas and visited many different naturopaths and tried their various protocols. These diets were rough on the body and although there were initial results the healing was short lived and the restrictions on life became unbearable. I realised that when you create a rigid life for yourself you are unable to let your nervous system fully relax. Beating yourself up mentally for stepping one foot out of line does not equal healing. That's when I learned that food and supplements are only one aspect of the picture when it comes to health. There are lessons in the ailments we accumulate and this is where the emotional and spiritual levels of healing come in.

Looking at your emotional wounding is not easy and I am in awe of everyone who is up for doing this work. I started my emotional journey, as many of us do, by seeing a psychotherapist. Then I moved further into the spiritual realms, I've taken plant medicines, I've been to multiple Joe Dispenza retreats, I've meditated for eight hours a day, learned everything there is to know about manifestation and conscious creation. I've studied with countless teachers in western and eastern traditions, and the truth is that I all this work resides within me. I'm grateful for the disease I've had in my body and the journey it's taken me on. When I look back to the 25 year old whose life came crashing down on her, I now see how the illness was asking me to look at certain parts of my life. I can tell you truly that change is possible, it takes commitment to yourself to get there. And it will be the most empowering thing you can do for yourself, changing the narrative of your life.​
