I spent most of my teens and 20’s as a people pleaser; going against my authentic expression without even realizing it. I was pushing down deep feelings, numbing out, escaping reality and disconnecting from my body because I thought it was safer than expressing my truth.

My truth was (and still is) that I feel deeply, intensely, passionately and fully. The world is beautiful, chaotic, painful and full of aliveness - and it felt terrifying to connect to the immensity of it all. What I didn’t know, was that when I disconnected from my heart and from the depths of my feeling - I also disconnected from love, from the capacity to feel myself and my surroundings, to feel my body and it’s infinite potential, to feel my fire and passion for life and my purpose within that.

Part of this connection included the discovery of my femininity. What exactly does it mean to be a woman? Where am I out of balance, fighting against my body’s needs? And could I blossom as a woman while moving in a very intense and energetically masculine society? As I started delving into my own being as a woman, understanding my body, it’s cycles and its deep empathic connection to the earth – I also saw how powerful it was as a tool to heal the planet. It needs to be respected, given space and freedom to feel emotionally what has been suppressed for so long. It was through this realisation that I stepped into my purpose: a commitment to learning, growing and sharing my knowledge and insights with other beings struggling with their own particular difficulties with balance.

In the midst of all of this - I completed my Integrative Health Coaching training, completed 2 years of Shakti Tantra training and embodied more of myself than I ever had before.

I realised my body is a major tool to self understanding; it speaks a language that allows me to connect myself more deeply. My body was telling me something, and I could choose to either listen or ignore it. Instead of looking to the outside for answers to my own happiness and growth, I decided to go within, take back control and live with integrity and power.

I picked up old tools that I had long neglected and began exploring new ones. Every day was an opportunity to learn and connect deeply to my intuition and what it means to truly nourish myself, and the planet.  By exploring and practicing various holistic modalities such as Shakti Tantra, Non Violent Communication, Polyvagal Theory, Bodywork, Shamanic methods, Embodiment, Somatic Dance and Meditation – I discovered a deep passion for self exploration and inner connection.
