MY JOURNEY

I found breathwork after years of feeling too much-ness and not enough-ness

Though I’ve always been a passionate communicator, self-expression hasn’t always come easily. Like many, I grew up seeking approval by being the ‘good girl’ a gifted people pleaser. In my twenties, the unhealed parts of me were quietly running the show. Constantly in my head and in my thoughts. I knew I was here to help others, but I’d yet to understand how.

In my early thirties, I moved back to Poole with my husband and two small boys after 17 years in London, leaving the excitement of the city, I was grieving. Grieving my old life, my identity as a carefree twenty-something. Grieving the version of me I didn’t know how to bring into this next chapter and my place of origin after so many years. I began experiencing panic attacks and a constant urge to eject from my body. Working with a therapist who helped me begin to unpack - it cracked something open. I realised my pain wasn’t about anyone else - it was about me.

That was the beginning of coming home to myself. but there was something missing..

I NEEDED TO FEEL IT

Over the next decade

I began to rediscover my creativity - following my flow.
I followed what lit me up - picking up my camera again, diving into creative writing and short film-making, joining women’s circles, singing, dancing and discovering Qoya—a movement practice that felt like home. I loved it so much, I trained to teach it. During lockdown, I recorded She’s Illuminated, a podcast for honest, heart-led conversations.

Over time, all the threads began to weave together - photography, content creation, social media mentoring, event planning, PR, Squarespace web design. What started as creative exploration became something much bigger: a way to support others in expressing their voice, sharing their vision, and bringing their soul’s work to life with clarity, creativity and heart.

Then I discovered breathwork healing

Seven years ago, I was introduced to this practice - I breathed and connected to the birth of my beautiful boy - an intense, medicalised birth - not the natural birth I’d planned. I’d buried the belief that my body had failed me. As I breathed, that belief finally surfaced, my whole body started to pulse and release. Tears flowed. My heart cracked open. And for the first time in years, I felt me.

I felt an overwhelming sense of love, gratitude and compassion for my incredible body and how it had supported me in birth and beyond. Just my breath, my body and something far bigger. Grief, rage, shame, joy - it all came rushing in, like a healing wave, lifetimes of healing - energy in motion - then with the exhale came a peace and clarity I’d never experienced before. I felt pure love.

So, If I was still holding onto this - then what else was I going to be able to release? I was hooked. I knew this was my medicine.

Through therapy, movement, breathwork and meditation, I found my way back into my body. I learned to regulate my nervous system, reconnect with my intuition and rebuild trust in myself. Over time, I became more open - expressing my feelings, dreaming out loud, cultivating honest relationships and creative flow.

Alongside this, I’ve worked as a creative consultant for 20 years, running my own business - supporting creative individuals and independent businesses with event management, marketing, social media, photography and web design. My early career began at Saatchi & Saatchi in London and today I especially love helping women take the leap to build their business and tell their story online in a way that feels true to them.

I’m currently training as a counsellor with Iron Mill College and deepening my trauma-informed practice - expanding my ability to hold space with clarity, compassion and care.

And most importantly, I’m a mum of two adult children, who continue to be my greatest teachers in love, growth and resilience.

My deepest desire is to help you reconnect with yourself - your breath, your body, your truth - so you can welcome all parts of you, exactly as you are.
