My Story

In 1996/97 I was diagnosed with Ulercative Colitis, a form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).  Over the next roughly 20 years I faced flares of varying levels, three hospitalisations, as well as periods of remission.  My worst flare was in 2016 and this was a lot of things changed for me.  The biggest being my health.  I started listening to my intuition and allowed it to guide me.  I knew that medication was not able to solely provide that I wanted for my disease, it helped smooth and manage the symptoms at time but each flare I became sicker and each time I was taking stronger medication to manage my symptoms.

Within a year of following my intuition I was in remission, deep remission.  I was off the strongest medication and have tapper my medication down over the years.  I was living life like I didn’t have an autoimmune disease.  I was feeling healthy, I was healthy.  My life had completely changed.  It was thanks to an inner knowing and tapping into the bodys ability to heal and support itself.  Your body is not meant to attack you.

Being the person that I am, I wanted to understand why, what, how!  If I was going to share and help others I had to understand, explain and be able to support with integrity.

This began my educational period and so I explored and undersood, well this journey will always continue.  And now I understand the connection between mind-body-soul, I understand the result of held and unprocessed emotions, the impact of trauma and past life experiences on the body and overall welling.  I know the importance of taking a holistic approach.  I know the power of doing this kind of work.  I understand the importance of modern medicine but know we also need to provide the body with the right environment to heal.

Not only have I healed my IBD, I have healed myself.  I have gone from emotional outburst, emotional dysregulation, overwhelm, stress, exhaustion, disconnection to having clarity, peace, emotional regulation, feeling connected with self, others & life, living a fulfilling and joyful life that is aligned and on purpose.

Now I have the honour of working with others to help them to move into the life that they want to live, healing and not wishing for a better day, free from disconnection and living life on the sidelines.  I am living in alignment with my purpose from a place that is in flow and peaceful, something I never thought was possible.  It is possible for you too.  I can’t wait to work with you.
