Hello

I was born in Melbourne, grew up in Auckland with my mother, returned to Melbourne when I finished High School to get to know my fathers side of the family and moved to Bundaberg with my own family where I have lived now for over 15 years.  As I have always said, I am a true Auswi and I have uprooted my life and started again 3 times........so far.  ​  

I am a single mother of two amazing teenagers that continue to make me proud every day!  I have loved my role as mum even through the not so easy times.  I also had the privilege of caring for my mother through her cancer journey in the last 2 years of her life.  I have realised that I am a carer, and I always have been, I just didn't understand how important that was, until now.  So it is time to step out and show the world what I have to offer and help people to see that ease and joy is possible for everyone when they are ready to choose it.     ​  

In my early 20's I was working in a data entry job where I developed an RSI.  Eventually I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which I then spent many years trying to find a "solution" for.  After traditional medicine was not able to help me I tried physiotherapy, chiropractic, craniosacral therapy, alexander technique, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, aromatherapy, reiki, therapeutic massage, bowen, yoga, meditation, wow I've never tried to list them before.  There are quite a few and I know there are more I have forgotten!  I discovered my body didn't like to be shoved around, it liked a more gentle approach, much like a toddler not being yelled at but being asked nicely to pick up their toys.  ​ 

So over the 25 odd years that I have been functioning with a body that so often let me down, I have grown a great respect for those that were able to show me some relief.  I also discovered that everything I do, think and say has a lot to do with how I feel and how well or not well my body is functioning.  For example I KNOW practicing yoga or going for a walk every day makes a HUGE difference to my pain levels.  But as most of you probably understand, sometimes I just can't be bothered or life gets in the way, and then I pay the price.  ​  

For these reasons and many more I first took a class in Access Bars® and then in Reiki.  I have loved using these for myself, family and friends and have seen the difference it has made in all our lives.  So now I am taking the plunge to start sharing these amazing modalities and the lessons I have learnt with the goal to share some of that ease and joy with anyone who is ready for change in their life.    

I must say, this has been a long time coming. I have a lot more to learn and this chapter of my journey has only just begun.     ​  

Enjoy your journey
