I'm Sarah, a wife and a mum of 2. I hope to help other mums through my journey of self discovery.

I went to the creek today for some inspiration for my latest meditation.
I had this beautiful spot to myself for just over half an hour before the dog that can be heard barking in the background came along with it's owner, so excited to be able to run free here.
It was just what I needed after a few weeks of allowing myself to get caught up in being busy. It gave me some inspiration, but mostly the feelings that I wanted others to experience when being guided through it.
I'm grounded once again.

Last week I sat in my room and wrote as the words below poured out of me.
'I want deeper conversations, deeper connections. I love hearing how everyone's kids are and what they've been up to. But please, tell me what your darkest fear is, what keeps you up at night? Tell me, what do you dream of, what makes you smile until your cheeks hurt? I want to know what lurks in your shadows, and what pulls you out into the light.
Let me sit with you, while you speak of your trauma, your betrayals, your successes and your desires. I will witness you as you give them voice.'
The lyrics from the song A Journey Unfolding by Fia 'we can only meet each other, as deep as we've met ourselves' gave me guidance on how to have the deeper connections that I crave. Though I know myself better than I ever have before, there is alway more to learn, so I am inspired to dive into finding out more; ask myself some uncomfortable questions to keep learning and continue the work I've been doing on myself.
I love and accept who I am and the more I understand about myself, the stronger that love and acceptance will be.

We're off camping for the long weekend.
This week has been hectic with packing and getting supplies for our trip (we never realised how little camping stuff we actually had) but we're leaving in the morning.
Part of our preparations was for me to have a practice run driving, reversing and parking with the trailer on. I've never towed anything before and was excited to give it a go. It took me a few tries, and a some warm ups reversing between trees on our property, but I successfully reversed the camper trailer into our carport so we could pack it.
I felt so proud of myself!
What have you done lately that you are proud of yourself for? Big or small, brag away.

Enjoying a moment together playing What am I? while the wind howls outside.
We have lost the headbands so we're holding the cards up instead, with Faith taking a peak at each one before she guesses 😂
I've found it interesting that now that I've taken the focus off of the housework, it's still getting done but we're having much more fun.
It's amazing what a change in mindset can do, but that doesn't mean it's not a process to get there. I have many things in my healers toolkit that can help, but the most important factor is being open, ready and willing for the change.

Spending a little time on writing my next meditation.
The first one, someone asked me to write for a blessing way, a beautiful way of honouring and supporting a woman as she reaches the end of her pregnancy. I'm so glad I was encouraged to do it, I enjoyed the process and it created a wonderful moment for her to focus on what she wanted for her birth instead of her fears.
The experience inspired me to continue writing them, then I was asked what I would do with them. I hadn't really thought much past using them in sessions but I now realise that want to do more than that.
I want to share them further than the confines of my treatment room, so I'll be finding a way to record and upload these somewhere hopefully in the near future.

Algonquin Water Song
I was recently reminded of this song that a friend introduced me to a couple of years ago.
The memory of it was triggered by another song about the power and importance of water playing in the car via a spotify playlist as I crossed a bridge near my home. Crossing this bridge always has me thinking about the water situation in my little town, how the creek struggles to supply the township that is growing rapidly.
It came with a pull to learn the lyrics again, sing it daily and share the message. I am grateful to the universe placing things where I will find them when I need to. This little copy of the lyrics was in a folder given to me by another dear friend with information for holding an event for her in her absence.
Will you join me and sing the water song?
'The Water Song Project engages women around the world to become keepers of the water in spirit and action.
It starts with an Algonquin Water Song that expresses loving gratitude for the water and raises the consciousness and connection of women with Mother Nature’s greatest gift. The song is easy to learn, and our vision is that millions of women will sing it, raising their own connection and awareness of the water they interact with daily even in the shower or at the sink. We believe this is a powerful step to change, leading to both a spiritual as well as environmental shift on our planet.
Our water is under siege from pollution, climate change, mismanagement, and corporate environmental disaster, Without clean water, we cannot live. In Native American and many other indigenous cultures, women are the Keepers of the Water, and men are the Keepers of Fire. In recent months, many brave women who are Water Protectors have captured the attention of the world whether at Standing Rock, attempting to stop the pipelines, or Flint, Michigan, demanding clean water for their children, or ever increasing battlegrounds of environmental disaster.
The Elders have understood since the beginning of time that clean water is essential for the survival of all living beings, and they continue to fight and advocate for Mother Earth’s most precious resource. Now, they are asking women to join them for one minute a day to sing to the water. It is incumbent for all of us, especially the women, to help them raise awareness and protect the water for future generations.'
Today I am choosing to share something that only those closest to me see.
These photos are of the current and usual state of my house.
This is part of the reason why I have not posted on this page in so long.
I didn't want any bookings for healing sessions until I managed to get on top of my house.
I was so hung up on my house not being presentable, instead of how many women, men and children I could be helping with my work. Instead of realising that most people have some degree of clutter in their homes, and that no one is coming here to see my house. Instead of being grateful that we have plenty of clean clothes, clean dishes, a fridge and pantry full of food, a roof over our heads and we are all happy and healthy.
So I am choosing to share this to be real and to let go of the need for my house to look perfect before anyone can enter, and hopefully inspire you to do the same.
I have 2 young children, both with their own challenges, medical and developmental.
I was homeschooling for most of this year, and now that I'm not, I only have 2 or 3 days per week kid free, which I will not fill solely with housework.
I have a massive 5 bedroom house, which I absolutely love and am grateful for but it is a lot of space to keep clean.
I have a business that I want to spend time with to grow it and provide for my family to take some of the burden from my husband.
It's not realistic and it does not serve me or my family to hold onto and strive for this idea of perfection.
I choose to let go.
I choose myself.
I choose my family.
I choose my community.
If you would like to see me or to receive some healing I am here, my doors are open.

Are you familiar with The Healers Prayer?
This prayer has recently been introduced to me. I find it perfectly reflects my role in a Kinesiology session, a conduit for spirit to allow you to heal in the way your body chooses. I endeavor to embody this outside of sessions too, but it's definitely a work in progress, I am only human after all. This prayer is a wonderful reminder that I am always supported and spirit is with me, guiding me wherever I go.

I was absolutely loving this song on the drive to Beaudesert to do my grocery shopping and had to share.
Now that I'm nearly 30, I thought I'd start taking better care of my skin. I've never really been one to use skincare products. I'm lucky enough to have good skin, but I'd like to keep it that way if I can.
I decided to give the Alya skincare range a try after it kept popping up in my newsfeed and seemed to have great reviews. It's natural, not tested on animals, and it has afterpay to make it more affordable. I've been using it for a little over a week now and loving it so far. My skin feels so soft!
Tonight is my first time trying the mask.

I'm feeling so grateful for the support I have around me.
I am grateful for:
The people helping me with my business.
The people in my village raising my children with me; family, friends and kindy teachers.
The people encouraging me and guiding me with homeschooling for next year.
The connection and conversations with my tribe, who build me up constantly, helping me realise my worth and what I'm capable of.
The universe for choosing these people to show up in my life with perfect timing.
I am truly blessed!
What are you grateful for today?

Today's card from The language of colour deck by Inna Segal.
Watermelon is a colour if softness, gentleness and compassion that encourages affection, self acceptance and kindness. Its spirit of fun and easy acces to your inner child assists people who suffer frim low self esteem, loneliness and sadness. Watermelon also encourages generosity, healing and understanding.
Allow watermelon rays to awaken your joyous, playful nature.
HEALING:
It's time to nourish and nurture your inner child. What exciting things can you do today that will make you laugh and enjoy yourself? Your inner child needs to have fun and play to feel healthy.
Close your eyes and visualise yourself as a small child. Ask this small child, 'What would be fun for you to do today?' The child may say, ' I want to go out and throw a ball in the park.' He or she may want to play a game, eat ice cream, or buy a toy. Listen and follow.
Before you go to sleep, visualise this child surrounded in a soft Watermelon colour as it rests peacefully.
Say: 'Devine Intelligence, please assist me to connect to my fun, easy going, enthusiastic nature, so that I can spread joy and laughter everywhere I go.'
We had playgroup this morning and will be jumping in the pool this afternoon.
How are you connecting with your inner child today?

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a wife and a mum of 2; 4 year old Sage and 3 year old Faith. I am an anxiety sufferer, that made it hard to find people I resonated with and left me feeling like I had no support. I put all of my energy into my kids and housework, I didn’t allow myself time for self care. I hated myself, I resented my husband and I was full of rage. But I suffered in silence, feeling like I had no friends I could turn to and went deeper into the spiral.
I decided to try an MLM, but that just got me obsessed with the product and the program, not making real connections with people, as it was the only thing I had that was separate from being a mum. Although the product is amazing, doing the business wasn’t giving me what I needed, I was using it as a distraction from real life.
I realised that I didn’t know who I was anymore. How could I teach my children to discover themselves and encourage them to be true to themselves, when I wasn’t doing it myself? I made a decision to step out of my comfort zone and joined some Facebook support groups, attended women’s circles and started a playgroup with a friend. I needed to find likeminded people and build myself a tribe of women to hold me, and each other.
I allowed myself to focus on me; my interests and personal and spiritual growth. Through one of the Facebook groups and women I met through playgroup, I discovered kinesiology. After a few sessions, I saw how powerful it can be for healing and growth.
I took action and studied it. I discovered so much about myself and learned to accept myself for who I am through the process. I let go of the resent I held for my husband, my anxiety is more easily managed, and I released some limiting beliefs I had picked up through my life. Though the rage still creeps back in at times I now have the tools to calm myself so that I can get to the cause and work through the problem. I am always working to become a better version of myself and make sure to take time for self care.
I hope that with kinesiology, and sharing other things that have helped me, I can help other women going through similar struggles.
