A little more about..

I'm a lover of all things creative, I love to paint, create, listen to music and connect with the outdoors, recently finding a love for hiking and cold water therapy, but life wasn't always like this.

Having experienced a lot of childhood trauma, growing up in foster care and struggling with a sense of belonging, I turned to alcohol in my very early teens as a means to cope, which led to over a decade-long toxic relationship with alcohol. 

In 2023 I started therapy which provided me with a whole new perspective on how my past trauma was impacting my behaviour and relationships into adulthood and I began my journey to start healing my inner child. This was when I started to become hyper aware of my destructive patterns and coping mechanisms.

In the same year I also graduated with an honours degree in Clinical Psychology and jumped straight into my first role as an assistant psychologist with a focus on child psychology.  Following this I went onto work within an addiction recovery service offering mental health support which held a mirror up to my toxic relationship with alcohol and ultimately led to me spiralling and losing my job. However, this gave me the time and space I so desperately needed to take a step back, reflect and make a change and despite losing my job and damaging my career, this role provided me with a lot of the tools and knowledge that I still utilise within my own recovery today. 

Finally, I'm a huge empath and have always felt so deeply about helping others so now, on my own sober journey as of September 2024, I want to combine my personal experiences with my professional knowledge to guide other women toward emotional well-being, self-awareness and living a more fulfilled sober life.
