Behind the scenes

If you had told my past self that one day I’d be running a business helping women with their mental health… guiding them to build more self-love, confidence, and reminding them that they can live life however the hell they want — I probably would’ve looked at you and said, “How many drinks have you had?”

Because for a long time, I didn’t believe any of that was possible for me.

There’s been a lot of pain in my story. A visit to a mental hospital for severe anxiety and depression. A separation that cracked me open and challenged everything I thought I knew about love, family, and identity. Countless moments where I felt like I was broken beyond repair — like I’d never be enough, never do anything meaningful with my life, and definitely never feel worthy of being loved.

Sounds crazy right? But I know I’m not alone in this pain.

But that version of me? She didn’t disappear. She grew. She softened. She screamed into pillows, danced barefoot, and chose, again and again to come home to herself.

And now? That’s what I help other women do.

I guide women especially the ones who’ve felt like they’re too much, too sensitive, too stuck, too far gone back to themselves. Through shadow work, nervous system healing, somatic practices, and big, bold reclamation. I don’t do this work because it’s trendy. I do it because I am it. I’ve lived it. And I know what it feels like to rebuild your relationship with yourself piece by piece (even on the days where you are so exhausted you think “why am I doing this again?”)

These days, you’ll find me basking in the sun like I have all the time in the world (I don’t, I’m actually a busy gal), dancing to songs every morning while I pack school lunchboxes, and working with incredible women who are ready to feel more like themselves again.

I’m building a life that feels like mine, not the one I was told I had to live.

And I believe you get to do that too.

You’re not broken.
You’re just waiting to come home.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” – Carl Jung

So who am I?

Honestly, when you get asked that in personal devlopment it normally comes with a “without the roles and responsbilibites? Who are you at your core?” But the thing is - my roles and responsibilites actually show you a lot about who I am.

The Mother.
The stepmother.
The nurturer.
The woman who gets overwhelmed but still shows up.
The one who learns out loud.
The lover, the feeler, the one who drops the ball sometimes.
The dreamer with a thousand tabs open — in her brain and on her computer.
The one with ADHD who’s still figuring out systems that feel good.
The one who’s softening after years of holding everything together.

So, who am I at my core?

I’m someone who cares.
Deeply, messily, wholeheartedly.
I’m someone who wants to understand herself and others not just in a surface way, but in that soul-deep, body-led kind of way.
I’m a woman who’s lived through hard things and still believes in magic.
Still believes in healing.
Still believes in people.

That’s who I am.
With the roles. With the contradictions. With the chaos and the softness, all mixed in.

So, in my life - I’m a Step-mother, a Mother, a Partner, a Business owner, Shadow Work Coach and a Support Coach in Shadow Alchemy Certification.

I know busy, I know how it feels to hold many roles and responsibilites whilst trying to hold myself and deeper the relationship to myself. You can have this too, you can learn to hold multiple pieces in your life without falling apart every 3 months (That was me too).

Shadow Work just makes sense to me….

You see, underneath all of those broken parts… I realised there were so many more parts of me that just needed love, space, and compassion. Not fixing. Not silencing. Just… witnessing.

Enter shadow work.

It wasn’t just another thing to study or a shiny certification to collect. It felt like a coming home, to the parts of me I’d hidden, judged, or tried to outgrow. Shadow work and I? We just fit. It gave me language for things I didn’t know how to name, and tools that didn’t shame me for being human. It made space for the full spectrum, the soft, the messy, the powerful, the playful, the parts of me I’d tucked away just to survive.

And it’s why I do what I do now.

It just made sense.

I’d been in and out of therapy for years. I’d done the mindset work. Read the books. Said the affirmations. And I kept getting told — “Just let it go.”

But I didn’t want to.

Because all of that — the trauma, the wounds, the pain — it led me here. To this version of me. The one who survived. The one who tried. The one who held it all together when no one else could.

Why would I want to get rid of her?

I remember thinking when I started shadow work, “You mean I get to keep all these parts of me?”
It felt radical. And right. Shadow work didn’t ask me to abandon myself. It invited me to meet the parts I’d been taught to silence. It helped me see that I wasn’t broken… I was layered. I was holding so much. And those parts of me? They weren’t wrong. They were wise.

Shadow work didn’t shame me for being human. It gave me space to be all of me.

So what happened when I integrated shadow work into my life?


Everything softened and everything changed.

And when I mean softened, I didn’t mean I feel like I flow with the wind - I mean that my ability to listen to myself more deepened, my body felt safe to actually sit down without being on edge and I allowed people to see me…not just the mask I wore.

Everything changed not just internally, but around me.

I stopped sabotaging my relationship… and now I’m in one that feels safe, stable, and deeply trusting.
I have open, beautiful communication with my kids…not just parenting, but connecting.
I have friendships that honour my boundaries instead of crossing them.

I went from being a personal trainer who kind of liked her job…to building a career I adore, one that lights me up every single day.

Since then, I’ve:


Completed a retreat facilitator mentorship
Run my own transformational retreats
Held a half-day women’s event in Canada
Hosted many women’s circles
Launched and led multiple online programs
Worked with so many incredible 1:1 clients
Stepped into guest speaking opportunities
Co-host a podcast of my own Unhinged and Unfiltered and co-host the Shadow What The Fuck podcast
Become the support coach inside the very certification that changed my life — the Shadow Alchemy Certification
Collaborated with other coaches to create ongoing impact, spaces, and conversations that matter
Stepped into the lead role of the Shadow Work Coach in The Feminine Wealth Club.

This isn’t just a story of healing.
It’s a story of becoming. Of building a life that finally feels like mine.

And I’m nowhere near done.

I’m taking a stand.


You don’t need fixing. You’re not broken. But it’s okay if it feels that way sometimes.

Shadow work isn’t dark — it’s about meeting the parts of you that need love, to be seen, and to feel safe.

Being a mother and being a woman don’t cancel each other out.

You’re allowed to live a life that is fully yours, not one built from guilt, roles, or survival.

You are the main character. The messy, powerful, ever-evolving heroine of your own story.


Healing isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about remembering who you are.

Oh, and if you’re wondering… yes, I’m that kind of woman.
The kind who stays up too late reading fantasy novels, who cries over warrior queens reclaiming their thrones, who believes shadow work is its own kind of magic.

I’m a huge reader, always have been.
Yes, I love the personal development books, the deep ones, the ones with post-its sticking out the side…
But if you catch me on the couch, there’s a high chance I’ve got a smutty fantasy romantasy book in my hand because honestly, a part of me does believe I’m Aelin Galathynius.

And okay but… this is the real shadow work question.

Team Cassian for the raw loyalty, the teasing, the belief that you will find each other no matter what, the "I will walk into the fire with you even if you push me away" energy.
Team Rhysand for the delicious depth, the restraint, the strategy, the "I saw your power before you did" devotion and the fact that he’s basically running the Inner Circle like a healing retreat.

But if we’re talking who gets under your skin and then kisses it better?
Team Cassian. All. Damn. Day.

(Still wouldn’t say no to a moment with Rhys)

Because real life? It’s a hero’s journey too.
And if you’ve ever felt like the main character in your own becoming you’re in the right place.
