One year ago I started down a journey that I had no idea would lead me on a path of the most intense healing of my life.
Nine months of unlearning, feeling all the pain and things I’ve been through. Healing childhood trauma, healing trauma from my parents, healing trauma from my teens, 20s, motherhood, ancestral trauma etc.
I went deep into my body, each time there was a pain or trigger, I asked my body why, and it told me, then I let myself feel that pain again in order to heal it.
I went through ego death, a dark night of the soul. Every week a new layer of healing, letting go, looking at things in a new way. Learning to forgive myself for things I did when I didn’t know, and the same for other people.
While I healed I helped other people dig into their own trauma and healing journey. It’s what got me through my own healing to be honest.
Now here I am on the other side, a year later, a completely different person.
New goals, new dreams and about to start a whole new chapter of my life.
The thing I’ve realized most in the middle space that I’m in now, while the rest of my old life is still falling away, is that I don’t want to heal now, I’ve done enough.
I’ve cried more times than I can count in the last nine months while healing. More than I’ve probably cried in my entire life. Grieving the versions of myself that got me to where I am now. Now I want to honour those versions of myself and finally live.
I want to use the new truths I’ve learned, and finally just breathe. Be in peace, enjoy life and the earth, live in love instead of chaos. Slow down, listen to my body when it says pause and rest. Fully step out of surviving and start living.
I’ve come to see that living a good life doesn’t require possessions, in fact the least amount of things you have the happier and lighter you feel.
I’ve learned to let it all go. The people, the things and places that are weighing you down.
That being said, I’ve decided to step away from my studio. I’ve come to realize the work that I do isn’t held in four walls. The energy of my work is more suited for nature. The ocean, the forest, under the moon and in the water. Ironically I’ve noticed that’s where the best living takes place too. In the places surrounded by the Earth and Nature.
You will still see me pop up at vendor shows and doing sessions at the beach and in the forest, at the sauna and going international this year, but without the need to have four walls, just to say I “have” them.
I’m excited to see everyone who crosses my path on this new journey 🤍
