about me:
Chiro, coach & community builder; military wife, home educator, mum of two.
My story
My whole childhood was about performance. Whether sports, drama or exam results, I always wanted to be better than I was before. This wasn’t an external pressure from my parents; it was something I felt within my own body - a deep desire to be better than yesterday.
Somewhere along the line, that competitive nature switched gears and I found myself comparing my achievement to others. A recipe for disaster.
I was living miles away from family support, with two young children and a husband who was hardly ever at home. I was juggling everything at home and simultaneously growing a chiropractic practice, trying to stay fit and look good. I was looking at other people and wondering how they managed the juggle with ease, while I felt like I was drowning in all the responsibility.
I was doing all the right things - eating well, exercising, getting adjusted regularly, meditating - but still I was exhausted.
One day, the penny dropped.
My lifestyle had changed, but my standards hadn’t. That old adage that we’re expected to work like we don’t have kids and parent like we don’t have work.
Chiropractic gave me the knowledge and understanding of why my body was struggling to keep up with my hectic life. Coaching gave me the tools to take stock of what had changed, what I wanted in this season, and who I would need to become in order to make the change.
My values
Whether we’re conscious of it or not, our values shape who we are, what we do and how we interact with the world. If you’re unsure of your values, it would be a worthwhile endeavour to explore them.
Here are my values and how they shape my work:
love - as my overarching value, everything I do is with a loving intention. I believe that when we come from a place of love, there’s a ripple effect that transcends anything we can imagine.
authentic expression - when we’re able to speak openly and honestly, without fear of retribution, we can create magic. I will always try to create safe spaces where you can express yourself freely, be who you were meant to be, and shine your light brightly.
hope as a catalyst - as an eternal optimist, I always believe things can get better. I will forever encourage a hopeful outlook combined with the essential aligned action steps to bring about the change you desire.
