In 2017, I began studying naturopathy. It opened the door to so much knowledge, but also brought some of my biggest challenges. I experienced severe anxiety during those years, overwhelmed by pressure, perfectionism, and the sense of not living in alignment with my true self.
 
In 2019, I discovered Reiki. It became a turning point, a practice that helped me reconnect with my body, calm my nervous system, and soften into who I truly am. Around the same time, I came across Australian Bush Flower Essences during my studies. While they intrigued me then, it wasn’t until 2024 that I dove deeply into their healing potential. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with the shifts they create, for myself and the people I support.
 

In mid-2025, I found myself navigating a period of deep burnout. It was a time that asked me to slow right down and truly practise what I had been learning and offering to others. Through consistent, compassionate support from my own naturopath and psychologist, and by integrating nervous system tools, self-regulation practices, and gentle mindset shifts, something began to change.

​

Rather than pushing through, I learned how to listen to my body, honour my capacity, and create safety within myself. Over time, this steady support helped me to feel the most calm, regulated, and grounded I have felt in my life.

​

These experiences have profoundly shaped the way I hold space now. They’ve deepened my respect for slow, personalised healing and reinforced my belief that true change doesn’t come from fixing ourselves, but from being supported to return to balance, safety, and self-trust.
