I didn't just study healing — I lived it.

Growing up in chaos — and knowing there had to be more

I grew up in New Zealand in a broken family environment. Financially struggling, emotionally volatile, and rooted in dysfunction I didn't have words for yet. What I now understand to be narcissistic abuse was just… my normal. An emotionally absent father who was never really there, and a mother whose emotional instability meant I never felt safe at home.

As a kid I questioned everything. Why is our family like this when others aren't? Why does it feel like something is fundamentally wrong — not just with us, but with me? Despite everything, some part of me knew, deep in my gut, that there was more out there. That I was meant for something bigger than this.

"As much as I grew up with the messaging that 'this is just how life is — you work hard, struggle and then die,' a part of me always knew it was wrong."

But knowing something and actually escaping it are two completely different things. I spent the first two decades of my life navigating addictions, depression, eating disorders, shame, anxiety and abusive relationships. I understood, even then, that something had shaped me this way. I just didn't know how to actually change it.

Personal Training cracked open the door

At 18, I was going through court for an abusive relationship when I met a Personal Trainer who genuinely changed the trajectory of my life. She transformed my relationship with my body — helped me shed the weight I'd carried from a lifetime of comfort eating — and set me on a path toward health I'd never experienced before.

Something lit up in me. I was inspired to become a PT myself — to help other people transform in the same way. I built a business, I watched people change. But working so closely with clients, I kept noticing a pattern: so many of them were being held back not by their bodies, but by their own trauma and psychological barriers. Their minds were working against them in ways no training programme could fix.

The physical work could only take us so far. Something deeper needed to shift.

A three-year healing journey that changed everything

What followed was a three-year spiritual awakening and deep healing journey — and it was EFT Tapping that became the thing that actually moved the needle. Not therapy, not mindset work, not positive thinking. Tapping.

For the first time in my life, I wasn't just understanding why I was the way I was. I was actually changing it. The emotional charge behind the memories from those 20 years of abuse — gone. The abandonment wound from my father — cleared. The shame, the anxiety, the patterns — dismantled at the root. My insecure attachment style - rewired to secure.

"I had done the therapy. I had done the work. I understood every single reason I was struggling. EFT was the first thing that actually moved it."

During this time, I also manifested something I'd dreamed about since childhood — becoming a travel influencer and content creator, seeing the world on my own terms. It was extraordinary. And yet, somewhere along the way, I realised it wasn't the path my soul was truly calling me toward. The glamour was real. The meaning wasn't enough.

Becoming a certified EFT Practitioner

That realisation led me here. I became a certified EFT Practitioner because I couldn't keep the tool that had changed my life to myself. I had lived the transformation — now I wanted to guide others through it.

Because I couldn't in good conscience keep helping people with the surface — knowing what was available to them underneath. Knowing that the root could actually be cleared, not just managed.

I now help people tap into their happiness, health and success — not by fixing what's broken, but by releasing what was never theirs to carry in the first place.
