𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓?

Mine?
It usually begins at 5am.
Sometimes start meditation first, other times like today, Zoom call in PJs with Mentor to receive insight and growth within our Mastermind group

Not because I “have to”
But because I choose to set my day up on purpose.

My current morning rhythm:
✨ Breathwork
✨ Meditation
✨ Smoothie
✨ Stretching, yoga, gym or weights
✨ Teaching at times + morning meetings

Then I’m ready.
Not just to “work” — but to lead.

Because when my nervous system is anchored
Everything flows

I even have a little system I follow daily:
My Mental Health x5
Five things I do every single day to regulate, reset, and stay connected

It’s not about perfection
It’s about patterning safety into the body on repeat

What’s one thing you do to support your nervous system in the morning?

Or…
Do you want to learn your own version of Mental Health x5?

Message me and I’ll share how I built mine
You don’t need to feel scattered, we start small, and it builds from there 💛

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍’𝐓 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒

But I felt the implication.

Too much.
Too intense.

Familiar.

But I didn’t take the bait.
Didn’t defend.
Didn’t shrink.

I’ve spent years untangling my nervous system
From the belief that I must be palatable to be loved.

My intensity isn’t a problem.
It’s a frequency.

And not everyone feels safe
In the presence of raw, unfiltered light.

Later, a small thing — a tech zoom call didn’t happen.
But my body registered it.
Deeply.

“I’ve been forgotten.”
A thread I know well.

And without thinking — I reached for yoghurt and fruit.
Not hunger.
Just soothing.
Just habit.

But I caught it.
I watched it.
I stayed.

No shame.
No spiralling.
Just presence.

Just love for the part of me
That once overgave to feel safe.

That’s the medicine.

Not fixing.
Not running.
Just truth.
Just staying.

You are safe now.
You are not too much.
And this…
This is the real work.

Does this land in your body too?
Have you been noticing these patterns?

You don’t have to hold it alone.
And you don’t have to keep performing safety to be loved.

✨ If this resonates, and you’re ready to meet these patterns with truth,
DM me.

It’s not mindset work.
It’s body-based remembrance.

Come home to the part of you that never needed fixing — just witnessing

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐀𝐓 𝟏𝟏𝐀𝐌, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎 (𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐕 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐂) 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒.
🤩

We celebrate the end of a powerful 12-year chapter.

When I first bought that space, I couldn’t have imagined the journey ahead.
Five months later, my 5 month marriage ended — suddenly.
I found myself without a home.

I stayed with a client for 7 weeks.
I even considered living at the clinic.
Eventually, I borrowed $25K from my ex-husband to buy the home I live in now.

That space became my sanctuary.
It held my rebuild.
Its held thousands of stories sessions, tears, huge breakthroughs.
It held me.

I opened 7 days a week. I had 10 staff. A small reception and two rooms.
In this space, I navigated separation, motherhood, burnout/breakthrough, a full-on kundalini awakening all within those walls.
So much energy has moved through there.
So many lives transformed.
Mine included.

And now?
It’s time.
Not with sadness.
But with gratitude.
With clarity.

Because endings create space for what’s next. Yayyyyyy 🥰🤩🙌

So here’s to new energy.
New direction.
And a whole new chapter opening.
Im sooooo excited!!

If you’ve ever been in that space with me — thank you.
You helped make it what it was. 💗

And if you’re in a transition of your own — trust it.
It’s not the end.
It’s the portal. 🔥

𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐎’𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝟏𝟎 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒?!

Yep — me 🙋‍♀️
And this time… the reason is completely different.

10 years ago, I was a serious gym ju**ie
Workaholic
Party girl
Always busy
Always doing
Anything to avoid feeling what was really under the surface

It all caught up with me
I burnt out — hard
And it changed everything

My body made me stop
Because I wouldn’t listen

(And as I always say:
If you won’t listen… your body will make you)

That burnout became the beginning of something new
I learned what actually feeling meant
What presence felt like
What true nervous system regulation really is

And now — a decade later
I’m walking back into Body Combat
Not to run from my emotions
But to support my body
To strengthen her
To move with intention
To match her wisdom with power

The new goal:
Combat + gym + my beloved yoga
Cardio strength from a place of honour, not avoidance

Because a healthy body = a healthy mind
And when the body is listened to
Everything shifts

So I’m curious…
Is your body asking for something new?
Something deeper than routine or reaction?

Try a sacred pause. What is your body saying?
Before it makes you stop 💛

𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍’𝐓 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄.

They’re often how you try to close the gap inside yourself.

The one who over-gives acts of service…🔧
Might be aching to feel useful
To matter
To be chosen

The one who pours words of affirmation…🗣️
Might be seeking reassurance
To feel enough
To finally feel safe being seen

The one who clings to quality time…🫁
Could still be chasing presence that was missing as a child

The one who touches often…🫂
Might be soothing a nervous system that never learned safe co-regulation

The one who gives gifts…🎁
May be offering symbolic “I see you”s
Because that’s what they always longed to hear

Questions to reflect on:

What if your dominant love language was also your coping strategy?
What if it’s not just how you love……
But how your inner child learned to feel safe?

It takes maturity to realise:
• Real love isn’t about projecting your needs onto someone else
• It’s about understanding what they need to feel loved
• And getting honest about what you need to feel whole — without outsourcing it

Sometimes that means:
→ Serving yourself before serving others
→ Learning how to receive the love you say you crave
→ Letting your body know:
You’re safe now.

Because love isn’t just a language
It’s a frequency

And when it flows from fullness — not fear, It transforms everything.

25 PEOPLE WAITING.
Tech not working.
Music dead.

This was this morning
And class was about to start.

In moments like this, I’m so grateful I know how to calm my nervous system.
Because this is the real practice —
Yoga, breathwork, and meditation off the mat.

It would’ve been easy to spiral, panic, or rush
But instead — I paused
I breathed
I chose presence

Two admins tried to fix the tech
Still nothing

Then one beautiful student offered her phone
Yes, there were ads
Yes, the sound glitched
But we were grateful

Because it meant we could move together
And if not? I would’ve taught in silence
(I’ve done that before too)

The real lesson?
Let go of control. Trust life.

Like water in a stream
It doesn’t fight the rocks
It flows around them
Works with what is
Moves through

This is the freedom we find when we stop needing things to be perfect
And start responding with presence

It’s what I teach my clients too:
Find your anchors.
Choose your tools.
Breathe when it would be easier to tense.

If you’re ready to build your own nervous system toolbox & to break toxic family patterns

I’m running a FREE 5-day challenge

DM me “READY” and I’ll send you the link 💛

BOUNDARIES, JUICE… AND DANCING SHOES.
This is what happens when you stop surviving and start choosing you.

After the 3-day juice fast immersion
She messaged me — clarity buzzing through her field

She finally felt what it’s like to put herself first
Not from guilt
Not from burnout
But from alignment

And now?
She’s cooking for her family in the morning
Booking in for hair, brows, feet
Dancing at night
Juicing beetroot and ginger like a queen

The difference?
She’s no longer last on her own list
She’s living with intention
Not running on autopilot

This is the shift
It starts with the body
It lands in the nervous system
And it shows up in how you show up for yourself

She’s not just surviving her day anymore
She’s creating it

You feel this?
Come join the next immersion and watch what changes within you too!

DM me to get on the waitlist 💛

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐅𝐓 𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑?

I stopped mothering people who didn’t want to take responsibility.

Yep — the chronic rescuer in me had to go.
With clients. With friends.

We dress this up as “caring”

But I saw the truth when:
Friends phoned at 10pm, intoxicated, unable to hold their own chaos
Marital crisis calls came in on Saturday nights — unpaid, uninvited
Clients rang me on Christmas Day drunk, wanting to leave their partner
But not one invite for a cuppa
Not one moment to ask, “And how are you?”

I was drained
Exhausted
Sick of hearing the same stories
Over and over
While doing emotional labour for people who had no intention of changing

And I called it “helping”
I called it “love”
I called it “being kind”

But it was martyrdom
Rescuing
Self-abandonment

And honestly?
It was bu****it

It wasn’t support
It was a loop
A drama triangle disguised as care

And I was smack in the middle of it

Then the deeper question landed:
Who am I if I’m not the helper?

That’s when it cracked open

This pattern is rampant
Especially with mothers
Especially in service-based work

We think love means over-functioning
We think care means sacrificing ourselves
We think we’re being generous
But really — we’re just avoiding our own sovereignty

To break the cycle, you have to grow up
You have to become the challenger —
For yourself, and for others

To stop rescuing
Stop fixing
And start reflecting back truth

This is what creates freedom
This is how we build health —
In the body
In our boundaries
In our leadership

No more five-year-old looking for a saviour
No more mummy energy running the show

Just sovereignty
Liberation
Truth

And finally — peace

This is what I teach inside Somacode™.
This is for practitioners ready to break out of the helper trap
And cycle-breakers who are done surviving and ready to lead

From shame to sovereignty.
From drama loops to liberation.
From survival mode to soul-led living.

DM me if your body said yes. Let’s move.

𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅-𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐈𝐍 = 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅-𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒.

IF WE DON’T INVEST FULLY — WE DON’T SHIFT FULLY.

The nervous system knows
It only reorganizes when there’s enough at stake

When we half-commit, we half-transform
When we dip a toe, we stay in the loop
When it’s “affordable,” it’s often avoidable

But when we invest fully —
Money
Energy
Readiness
Presence

The shift becomes inevitable

Because now our system is listening
Now the field is activated
Now we say:
“I’m all in.”

Cheap investments create cheap shifts
Real transformation asks for skin in the game

And when we pay in full — not just money, but soul —
We rise in full

You feeling this? Let’s move.
