Hey loves

Thank you for being here.

Some of you know my story, some of you don't - so in brief here it goes.

After YEARS of medical trauma, misdiagnosis, failed operations + many more issues created by the medical system, in 2018 my body started to shut down. With no help from the NHS I had to raise money, leave the country and was in an integrative hospital in Mexico receiving medical treatment for an array of conditions that were extremely serious and since then have worked with many doctors, practitioners and therapists to help me regain my health again.

It took 2 years overall to get my health back after exploring every alternative and ancient healing modality I could find and understanding that the mind and the body are one, they aren't separated. And I did it.

During this time I shared my experiences, methods and teachings via Instagram and built a community of like minded souls.

I left the UK in December last year because the trauma I had been through here was too much to deal with whilst still being in London and spent nearly a year in Mexico working on trauma, nervous system regulation and much more as well as consistently working, creating and supporting people across the world.

However, coming back to London has brought up a whole range of triggers and I have been deep in a medical related PTSD episode for the past few weeks that I've realised I can't actually work through on my own, I really need some support. I can't eat, I have nightmares, I have flashbacks, my body is constantly shaking... the list goes on.

PTSD as a condition is an illness just like anything else. It affects both the mind and the physical body and it creates changes on a cellular level that we really do hold onto until they're released. This is why I work with embodiment and teach all about the somatic work because it has to be an integrated approach - for me I now need support with my mind.

I have found a suitable therapist with a lot of experience in this area and I am going to be working with a technique called EMDR to help me actually process the distressing memories that are keeping me stuck in a trauma response so I can be free of my past once and for all. This method works with the eyes and the frontal lobe to unlock and release the memories keeping us 'stuck' so we can actually be free of trauma responses because the mind is no longer holding onto the memories.

My assistant and I had planned for December / Jan to be quieter months in regards to teaching so I could focus on other areas of my work and so I could actually rest properly for the first time in 2 years since starting this business, which is necessary.

Now this has surfaced somewhat unexpectedly, I am in a situation where I either try and push through in regards to work, which in turn is going to damage my wellbeing further because I just don't have the capacity - or I ask for some help.

So here I am, asking you for some help in getting the help I need. The money raised here will only go towards my therapy sessions and nothing else.

I know that this time of year is hard for people, so please only give if you can and if this resonates for you. Anything is greatly appreciated so I can take away the stress of financial stress during this time.

Thank you for taking the time to read, it's so appreciated.

Love & blessings always
