Voice of an Angel
Pisces is her Sun, Star and Moon sign
That's a lot of water element in one person!!!
Has a secret addiction to Quantum Physics video's on Youtube & "Subtlety" weaves her random facts about Quantum Physics into her conversations with her husband. (He's not as impressed as he should be)
Obsessed with beauty in nature and inside peoples hearts.
“I was chatting to a friend recently about meditation.... she was interested to know if it would help her feel calmer~ less rushed and anxious. She wanted to know how I fit it in with having kids, what I actually do when I shut my eyes, how I don’t get bored (I do get bored by the way), and all the tips and tricks to get off on the ‘right track.’
The conversation took a pause, her eye brows clenched, and she asked something that we all ask when making that decision to start something new. .“Is it worth it?”
In an instant my whole energy body reverted back to a time, before meditation was apart of my life. .
I felt restricted, heavy, reactive and honestly unhappy.... like I had a subtle dislike for myself that I carried around all day without even knowing it. I felt all the little ways that I kept myself small, and when my relationship with Mick came to the forefront of my mind, I felt all the little ways I kept him small too. .
It was a stark contrast to the way my body, mind and heart feel now. Full of love for life and myself, and the experience of knowing that they are the same thing. I’ve been meditating for about 10 years and honestly, the first 6 were bloody hard!! My ego ruled the practice, each sitting was judged: good or bad/ right or wrong. I held an expectation of a Buddha-like experience (hence most of my meditations were labeled “wrong”). It was painful- physically, emotionally and mentally. I’d close my eyes and feel completely lost.
Bit by bit though I allowed the light in. The long term changes from a regular practice often occur bit by bit (creepy softly- catchy monkey as my granny would say), and it’s hard to really know if it’s changing anything. My friends question gave me the gift to see all the fruits of my practice in one moment. Tears welled in my eyes... “Yes. It’s worth it.” .
I’m not sure of anything that’s worth more. .Little did I know back at the start of my journey, that my purpose here on this earth is to fall in love with meditation so I can help people do the same”

“Meditation seems easy, but sometimes so hard to do. I used to ask myself how can I possibly get off this high horse & into chill mode? It will take wayyyy too long!
Meditation has helped me in so many ways over the past 5 years & I have grown to incorporate it into my life every day. I now live lighter, with less stress & anxiety, more purpose, happiness & gratitude. At first it was honestly a real struggle; fighting with the need to stop, breathe, switch off, look within.. never feeling like I had the time to do it, or forever feeling interrupted by the kids if I tried. I learnt that if you wait for the perfect time, it will never happen... but, the sooner you start meditating, the sooner you will feel the life changing benefits it brings. I’ve also found that there are no right or wrong ways to meditate, nor can you become a master. There are many different forms of meditation & that it’s impossible to compare a meditation session because; what you, your body, your mind & your soul need at that present moment is what it needs and is perfect for that time & place. Sometimes its easier and more enjoyable than other times, but the harder times are where the real magic happens, ground work is made, shifting takes place.
In 2018 my beautiful friend Jus & I teamed up and created a very unique & relaxed sound meditation class at the Foxy Feelgood studio (upstairs @Runnez Chelsea Heights, Melbourne). Our cosy space is where we come to let go of the week, take some breaths, have a laugh and return to our worlds ‘Feeling Good’. We also hold special events around the full moon. Sound & music to me is everything... I love the effects it can have on you, the tingles, the emotion, the release, the memories, the present moment of listening. We are both very passionate about sharing the love of sound meditation & hope you will join us one day”
