The exact moment I went “woo woo” lol.

There was once a time I didn’t have a cycle. I was diagnosed with amenorrhea. I had lost my period for 2.5 years.

No answers why.

There was a possible diagnosis of a pretuitary gland tumor. Got an MRI, there wasn’t one there.

Constant trips to the endocrinologist. Looping in circles getting nowhere.

Prior to this I had been through the really stressful event and it was too much for me to process so I shut down. I went into shock. Body stuffed it down because I couldn’t cope with it at the time and I didn’t know how to even begin to deal with processing it.

This slowly caught up with me over time. It took years. But the symptoms got so bad. Life fell apart literally.

I had no choice but to be open to something to help me.

Turns out choosing to be open is the best thing I decided to do.

I went in with no expectation. Just desperation. That willingness got my period back.

Deciding to try an eastern approach. That unlocked something in me. With my mind blown it took me 9 years of study, identity and ego deaths.

From a PT of over a decade to being an energy worker. I truly believe the more trauma we release from our own bodies, the more our spiritual gifts come online.

We can turn our pain into purpose.

Here I am “woo woo” and weird AF and I keep getting weirder. Lol

But I can tell you I facilitate magical, transformational experiences every single day for people that open their minds up to something greater than themselves.

What a blessing to go through that loss to be given a gift.

Stay weird guys.

The body holds what the mind try’s to forget.

Bodywork brings what has been held in the subconscious into our conscious awareness.

It’s like emptying a cup that is full to the brim overflowing.

If we don’t create the space to do this we will remain stuck, confused, disconnected and unsure of the path forward.

We stay doing something that isn’t in alignment with our true path.

Once you see, you can’t unsee. It allows the truth to be so loud that you have no choice but to take action.

We are gifted with spaciousness. Energy. Motivation to move forward with what we knew deep down all along. We let go of things that are no longer authentic to us.

The power was always within you. The truth was always within you. Will you choose to give yourself space to listen? Knowing you are worthy of living a life true and authentic to you.

When you trust your body, not fight against your body.

When you feel resistance or like you’re swimming upstream or you feel like there is contraction but you ignore that and you keep doing what you have always done, does it really go well for you?

Be honest. Are you still doing things that you have always done because you think you should and it’s what you know?

Maybe your body has been trying to tell you a different story for along time. The question is- are you choosing to learn to listen? X

How have you found touch helpful on your healing journey?

As a trauma informed facilitator, I know when and when not to provide touch, but it goes far deeper than that.

I sense it, I feel it, I see it and I know it. Mostly my predominant clairs are in sensing and knowing, but I use all four of those mainly. We all have connection to the way our intuition speaks to us and we can all develop it more anytime we choose.

I have found some of the most transformative experiences I have had on my own healing journey is when someone has held me with deep presence and love. Both of my teachers have held me in ways I’ve never been touched before, which lead to me having profound releases that changed and shifted patterns I’d been holding for years. Because I have been shown, I’ve felt it and I trust myself to be present in whatever arises with a client. I trust myself to stay grounded and in my body to support whatever arises.

I also know I’ve gone and been to the depths with my own healing journey that I know I can hold whatever arises. That’s a deep knowing that I can’t explain.

This is why I know I can stay present. This creates safety for the client. Trust for the client. This is where the magic and transformation happens.

If your facilitator hasn’t sat with their own s**t and their own darkness, don’t expect they’re going to be able to sit with yours. This is where discernment comes in.
Discerning who to open your field up to. Learning to trust your body and what it’s speaking in regard to who to let into your world.

It all matters. That’s where this work has had a bad name put to it at times because facilitators are not trauma informed and have not done the shadow work it takes to be a facilitator in integrity.

There are some f*ckin incredible, world class facilitators and teachers out there. We are so blessed to have many that are in integrity and very skilled and masters of their craft.

Trust yourself to know. Then watch the magic unfold ❤️✨

What if one evening could shift the trajectory of the rest of your year?

On Saturday 8 August, Tala and I are holding a special Lion’s Gate experience called The Portal.

It is an immersive evening of Somatic Embodiment, Manifestation, Transformational Breathwork and Energy Alchemy.

This isn’t about simply visualising the life you want, it’s about becoming the version of yourself who naturally attracts and sustains it.

Together we’ll release old patterns, reconnect with our body’s wisdom, expand our capacity to receive and align with the energy of what’s calling us forward.

If you’ve been feeling that quiet nudge that you’re ready for more-

✨ more alignment, more authenticity, more abundance, more YOU

✨ this is your invitation to step through the portal

The Lion’s Gate is a potent time for clarity, expansion, and conscious intention. Together, we’ll harness this energy to move beyond limitation and step into greater alignment, purpose, and possibility.

How often have you placed all your trust in something external from yourself?

How often have you self abandoned your inner knowing?

How do we learn to trust ourselves after severing that tie?

When you have had a gut instinct about something being off but something external from yourself has lead you to believe it’s not true + not the truth?

When you have denied your inner knowing because someone else said that’s not true. So you then allow that to be truth. Until you find out what you initially believed was true for you.

This causes a lot of confusion + to lose trust in ourselves

I know firsthand how hard it can be to build back trust within one self once we lose connection to that inner compass + guidance. This is just one example of my experience of having my truth denied from external sources. A pretty extreme example; but I’m sure we can all insert relevant example that’s true for each of us.

The journey back to self + our heart is a big one. A beautiful one. Here’s your reminder to trust yourself + what you need and know to be true over anyone else. You know yourself better than anyone

How can we start to learn to build trust back? Start by small steps, taking 5 mins every morning to anchor into the breath + the present moment place your hands on yourself + ask yourself what you need. Hold yourself. Literally hold yourself. Hug yourself. Show yourself you’re listening + you’re not going anywhere. Show yourself that you have your own back

Practice showing up every single day. Being consistent with yourself shows yourself that you can trust you + have your own back.

This message is also to bring to light the impact of stress on the system, stress suppresses the immune system which can allow us to be more susceptible to illness. We cannot underestimate the impact of stress on our systems, whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally

I never thought in a million years thought I’d be doing today. That kundalini energy work would actually heal + + give me my life back. The life of my dreams.

I didn’t become open minded because someone convinced me.

I became open minded because nothing else worked.

Now this is the work I s

Your needs matter too.

You deserve to receive.

You don’t have to earn rest.

It is your birthright to receive.

Most women I work with are completely and utterly burnt out. They overextend themselves. They do everything for everyone else. They think they have to earn rest. They think everyone else’s needs matter before theirs.

They’re at capacity. Utterly exhausted.

Disconnected from themselves.

From feeling.

Numb. Living in their heads.

This gives them a chance to be held. To feel their bodies again.

Think of it like plugging your life force back in. To energy. To vitality. To your heart beating.

Your aliveness pulsating through you.

You deserve it. You truly do. 🌹

Will you choose a new thought? You hold the power.

The physical body often will reflect the internal dialogue. Certainly in my experience.

When we choose to change the internal stories, the external changes.

We have around 60,000 thoughts a day. Most of these have been running on repeat our entire lives. Our subconscious mind controls 95% of our thoughts, behaviours and actions. 5% is conscious.
Rewiring is hard yes. But we get to choose to become aware of what these are and choose a NEW more helpful thought.

New thoughts create new emotions and therefore new experiences. Slowly but surely you start to change your life.

Finding this work I now share with others- has returned me to my original essence. To my innate worth. To be able to release the limiting beliefs I held that I created from all the pain and trauma I was carrying in my body.
When that past experience is felt and realised from the fascia, the mind/body system your thoughts transform too. I choose to show up daily for myself. You can too x
Forever grateful to have found this mahi.
