I feel doing this work is my calling in life. I witnessed my mother having her first Multiple Sclerosis seizure after my first day of preschool when I was 4 years old. Her condition deteriorated quickly leaving her being bed ridden, she suffered greatly which remained up until her passing when I was aged 12. My father Took his own life when I was 9 years old, amongst my childhood I also suffered from Mental and Physical abuse. I lost my best friend from a horrific car accident in my early 20’s.
My life went into some deep deep dark areas and mental and spiritual pain and searching for many years before I emerged with light in my spirit. I also came very close to death myself when I accidentally severed an artery and lost what the doctors told me was about the most amount of blood you can lose and survive, the knowledge I had of Shiatsu and Tsubo (Acu Points) greatly helped my survival and recovery.
In October 2020 my brother and only sibling also took his own life, and I also discovered amongst this complicated grief that another close friend also took his life. I again was subjected to P.T.S.D and trauma and again become a survivor of suicide loss and its complex challenges.
After a long period of processing and rebuilding my own resilience I returned to responding to my calling of my Shiatsu practice, and this unfortunate life event has added another empathetic depth to my treatments.
I became a practitioner from these lessons of experiencing loss from a young age and having suffered with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Anger, and suicidal ideation, amongst other physical and mental injury/pain. As I processed my own pain and experienced my own transformation in me, a deep purpose and calling awoke to want to help best I can to relieve and guide the suffering of any kind in others. This led me to obtaining formal qualifications in Shiatsu and Oriental therapies. My treatments flow from my Lived Experience and from my heart and empathy of having experienced extreme hardships, pain and suffering from a young age.
