Western Mind, Eastern Heart

Evidence based approaches with spiritual practices

I have been working with people since I started my working life, I, like many people, began in customer service & hospitality, making my way to being a parent & back to university to become a social worker & more recently gathering additional qualifications of Yoga, Philosophy, Meditation & Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, Grief & loss, that add value & synchronize with the whole journey so far.

I have come to realise that the best part of what I offer to others is in fact my experience, the wisdom gained from the whole of the process, that this is actually greater than the sum of the individual parts. My lived experience of chronic pain & illness, the raising of a teenager, the single mum journey, what I learned as a social worker & educator from some extraordinary humans managing within some really tough systems & holding space for them to find their way. What I have learned about myself, the importance of intentional self-care, while supporting others, while  attempting to  find my purpose & keep my head above water.

​

I have also come to realise that the way to find happiness & balance is not a simple one. Many of us seem to be living unintentionally, just stepping through life without connection to our purpose. It is winding, treacherous & scattered with both heartbreaking lows & exhilarating high leaving us unable to be aware enough to notice the in-between. That contentment is actually not at all possible without self-awareness, self-respect & some pretty decent boundaries.

​

I would love to take what I know, what I’ve learned, my therapeutic & holistic skills & to support women to shine in the way I often hear them say they wished they could, like I know they can! I know I can support you to build bravery, joy & Help you see that you deserve to be nourished & valued.
