My Story
As women, because of our innate ability to multi-task and present a united front to the world, we often continue to take on more and more and relegate our own self-care and nervous system regulation to the back burner. Eventually this can topple the balance and we find ourselves keeling over in spectacular fashion with something monumental that stops us in our tracks. An illness or chronic pain that refuses to allow us to continue to function in the way that we’ve been trying to do for far too long.
In my case, this was ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It forced me to literally stop overnight! To give perspective to how this felt – at the height of debilitation, if I could take a shower I knew I was having a good day even if I went straight back to bed afterwards!
It took me six months to get back some semblance of reality and I learned to modify my life so that I could manage this disability.
If someone had suggested to me that I could avoid this burnout and avoid having this illness, I would have jumped at the chance but I didn’t realise that I was even causing burnout by taking on so much and constantly modifying my true self simply by trying to be more ‘perfect’, have it all together, people pleasing, fawning and just trying to fit in.
Roll forwards seven years and I find myself late diagnosed ADHD (and most likely autistic - currently awaiting assessment) and looking back at a lifetime of masking. The toll that this has taken, I believe, resulted in my system collapse in 2019.
I was lucky. One of my best friends is a fatigue specialist and helped me on my road to recovery but, what if I could have prevented the collapse in the first place?
Re-discovering who we truly are and allowing ourselves to identify and let go of traumas in our past that have caused us to deviate from our divine feminine; allowing ourselves the gift of self-care and nervous system regulation, enables us to return to our natural state of CENTRE where we can, be the best version of ourselves and continue to conquer our world; have the career we desire; continue to raise families and accomplish our dreams to the best of our ability without compromise, is surely a better path than overwhelm, anxiety, exhaustion and burnout!
If anything in my story resonates with you; if you feel you’ve been knocked off course by what life has given you; or if you just feel there has to be more to life than where you find yourself, book a discovery call and let’s begin this journey back to CENTRE together.
CENTRE - A place for those who have carried emotional weight quietly, competently, and for far too long. My work is guided by the divine feminine and matriarchal wisdom—the kind of knowing that lives in the body rather than the mind, and remembers what becomes possible when we are no longer holding everything alone.
Through energy alignment and EFT, I support a gentle release of long-held emotional patterns so your own inner authority can re-emerge, steady and intact.
I don’t believe you need fixing. I believe your system has adapted wisely—and that with the right support, it can let go of what is no longer needed. CENTRE is not about pushing toward a better version of yourself. It is about returning to what has always been there.
