A little of my story...

Why Reflexology?

In March 2013, I was excited to learn that I was expecting my third child. Within the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, my body began releasing an overload of hormones to relax the ligaments in my pelvis, for my hips to accommodate the expansion of my womb. This caused a severe amount of chronic pain through my hips and sacrum, and for most of the pregnancy my hips and belly were strapped up and I struggled to walk without the aid of crutches. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, also having to care for a 3 and 2 year old, while their father worked away. I birthed my beautiful baby boy at home, and he was perfect in every way. I regained the ability to walk unaided almost immediately, however I suffered constant chronic hip and lower back pain, and very little seemed to help. Physiotherapy and Bowen Therapy, as well as some topical herbal anti-inflammatories would ease the pain for a short while, but never more than a day or so. Then I came across Reflexology and it changed my world! After just a few treatments, I was experiencing long lasting relief from the pain and inflammation I had suffered daily for over 2 years. Not only that, I experienced improvement in my mental health, sleep quality and digestive system too. The benefits of Reflexology truly speak for themselves and I have made it my mission now as a Clinical Reflexologist to focus my intention on helping as many others as possible. 

Why Reiki / Energy Healing and Meditation?

As a child I always had the ability to see spirit, and spent many nights with the blankets over my head unable to sleep due to all the paranormal activity. It was my normal, and something I didn't discuss, as I just assumed it's how everyone experienced the world around them. Somewhere around 7 or 8 years old, I closed the door on the spiritual world and did anything I could to fit in with those around me. It wasn't until moving to Perth, Australia at age 12 that the door was flung open again due to the affect of hormones and the change in my energy. Very soon I was experiencing constant spirit presences, precognitive dreams and strange coincidences multiple times a day. I confided in my parents, who gratefully, were open minded and found me a mentor of sorts to help me understand the who/what/why. I was able to call upon her when I needed advice, or needed the spirit world to back off to be able to focus on schooling. 

On completing school, I began sitting in a psychic development circle hosted by my mentor. For almost 10 years I met, sat with, confided in and held space with the most remarkable group of human beings. We laugh and we cried on a weekly basis, as we learned the process of unravelling through self healing, psychic development and mediumship. I am forever grateful for these incredible years of spiritual growth and the skills and understanding I learned.

Since then, I have continued my studies in the intuitive arts in between growing and raising my three children. I have hosted meditation groups and development workshops, I have trained to Reiki Master level, worked with nature and herbs, crystals and animals and directly with spirit guides and other dimensions to deepen my understanding. Having an awareness of spiritual process and an understanding of meditation are skills that I honestly couldn't function without. It is an honour to offer these skills and share them with those who feel drawn to healing and/or their own personal development in whatever form that may be.

I am always in awe of the way our life experiences shape our future, and our choices and even how that goes on to affect everyone around us. I am grateful for all of the experiences that have led me to this exact moment, and I am hungry for a life that continues to be filled with more learning and adventure eventually becoming the shape of my future.

The Strength of a Woman

Today I am searching for an answer, a conclusion in this time of New Moon, to what has felt like a battle of chaos and confusion. Longing for understanding from a place of unravel and heaviness. A time of quiet reflection and processing.

Interesting, I began finding solace in my own words. Drawn to pick up my book and read the passage Spiritual Midwives;

[Women] We remain focused and unswayed.

We are the keepers of truths

Stored deeply within the folds

Of our collective womb,

Accessible each time we vibrate

In accordance with her frequency.

 A reminder that Women are chosen as the portal, the bridge between worlds, the bringers of life because we are the only vessel strong enough to stay the course. The only container equipped to survive the life-threatening process, time after time. The only being powerful enough to remain in their grace, whilst expanding and holding the depth of love required to maintain the selfless act of creation.

But with this great power and responsibility, we are also the only beings strong enough to hold death. Each month, as is reflected with the moon, when the potential of life is not fulfilled nor possible, we are the ones here to hold space for that death as it slowly and painfully crumbles away the lining of our womb. Grieving what could have been. Grieving our right to create and to nurture. Grieving a loss that was never ours to keep.

And as we expand in life and growth, we too expand our capacity to hold death and grief. This is where wisdom is born. A seed of understanding created somewhere in between the lightest and the darkest of our experiences.

We are the Midwives. The strong ones. The wise ones. We are the bringers of life and the custodians of death. Our gift. Our curse.
