Though my story is one helluva a story to tell- It’s what Ive learnt, studied, researched and trialled in the last decade that saw me make it out the other side of a life-changing accident and out of a wheelchair that fills me up most to share; Ive managed to heal my mind body and soul in ways I was never medically meant too. I wished they'd taught me, what I now know back in school, I wished they'd handed me it as a guide to heal and become the highest energetic version of myself.
But they didn't, So I have documented it myself :) for you. I know the heaviness that comes when you're not your best self. Even more challenging- when your health dictates your life & I don't want others to feel that way if they can help it, if I can help them, by sharing ALL the parts of my story.
Welcome to my website
I'm a lucky girl, all good things come to me, flow to me, move through me, everything works out for me.

At age 23 I fell 15 metres 3.5 stories when a rooftop gave way beneath me in South America while travelling with my best friends. I broke my feet, leg, pelvis, sacrum, elbow & worst of all my back and spine exploded. I was instantly paralysed from the waist down, so could no longer move or feel from the waist down. I underwent an open back surgery in Peru, another 13 hour back surgery in California then was flown home to hospital in Australia where I was told it was unlikely I’d ever walk again & found myself in a wheelchair.
That was also the day I told myself I would walk again. I began visualising, meditating, using wholefood as medicine, juicefasting water fasting, holistic health, principles of quantum physics & the power of the mind, quantum leaping and 5 hours of gruelling physio a day 5 times a week a whole lotta blood sweat & tears and after 3 yrs I found my self walking again the way I used to. However I endured a bunch of tests along the way from pressure wounds on my feet that hinted amputation, burning chronic nerve pain that hospitalised me fortnightly for the first 3 years, internal damage to my insides, a period of time where my bowels and bladder didn’t work normally, PTSD, depression & nervous system dusregulation. Plus my body breaking down in skin rashes and hair falling out due to this constant stress of pain.
However, the biggest test of all happened in 2019 I went back in for an open back surgery to hopefully relieve me from this debilitating fortnightly nerve pain which was supposed to be an overnight surgery and I’d walk out the next day. But the surgery went terribly wrong it had been botched and paralysed my right leg: when I awoke from surgey I couldn’t move or feel my right leg, a feeling far to familiar & I was told for the second time in my life that I might not ever walk again & I was back in the wheelchair. I can’t tell u how much that broke me, knowing the last 3 years of blood sweat & tears had been for absolutely nothing. I was right back where I started.
Again I told myself I would walk. Despite what I’d been told. Its 2024 a decade has passed yet I just faced the hardest two years yet 2022 & 2023, I had a lot of internal healing to do

I’ve spent years on exercise bikes, treadmills, stationary gym equipment as 5 hrs physio a day was essential if I wanted to heal. A whole year in hospital and countless days in bed unfortuatly while my body healed. So those hours on stationary gym quiptment walking and riding to no where haha or in bed, I didnt ever want to feel like I wasnt getting anywhere, that I wasnt wasting time away, so I spent those hours listening to audible books, documentaries, ted talks, completeing online studies, tutorials etc etc on how to heal, not just my body but mind & soul. As I said we cant heal wholey unless all are aligned. That way, it makes the whole journey worth it! & thats what I want to share too.
