My Story
I know what it is like to hit rock bottom and feel completely stuck.
My own health journey started back in 2011. The year of the Christchurch quakes, moving countries suddenly, starting university, followed by multiple chronic pain diagnosis’s. A year that left me depleted, and on edge physically, and mentally.
For over three years I went around in circles looking for medical answers to the ongoing pain and other chronic symptoms I developed - I had seen least a dozen specialists and health professionals. All medical tests were fine, I looked fine, but medication and other physical therapies weren’t really helping. Over time I was developing new, different symptoms but I knew this just “wasn’t in my head”.
Initially, I was skeptical that anything brain body-based would help as I knew my symptoms were physical, and real, but out of desperation it was time to try something different. I took some NLP sessions and was subsequently recommended the Lightning Process training by a Physiotherapist at the end of 2014, which turned out to be the missing link and key to my recovery.
I learnt about the nervous system, the mind and body’s innate capacity to return to balance and the role of trauma, emotions and mindset in our health - I finally understood how I became so stuck physically and mentally. Even more importantly, I learnt that with consistency and persistence I could influence and rebuild my own health through a new concept to me - neuroplasticity.
Within a month, I had gained control back over my health & gradually learnt to trust in my body again, chronic pain had gone, and anxiety shifted. I had gone in with the hope of finding help for one issue but walked away with tools that could help across all areas of life.
Over the next few years I enjoyed traveling, and working in a corporate role; but after studying Psychology but after my personal I was drawn to do more in the mind - body psychology area.
In 2017, I moved across the world and started the two year training to become a Lightning Process practitioner & Clinical NLP and Coach in London. I had the privilege of being trained by world leaders in the field of NLP & Health Psychology, and learnt much more about the emerging and exciting field of the mind - body connection.
Shortly after I returned home from overseas, my life completely shifted again - in 2021 I lost an immediate family member to cancer. My passion and purpose towards health and healing holistically have became stronger, I have since gone on to study more trauma informed and somatic modalities that have helped me immensely during this season of life.
In 2022, I launched Mindflex Wellbeing Workshops, after I saw need to share the tools and teachings to a wider audience - in a world where more are forced to navigate change, are experiencing burnout, illness and overwhelm in the face of increasing pressures and the fast pace of life.
My work driven passion, and it is privilege to both empower people, and help them rebuild their health.
