6 years ago, I experienced anxiety – intensely. It wasn’t social anxiety. I didn’t get panic attacks. And I didn’t have it all the time. But I did get it. Would you have known? Probably not. A good front – I always put on, and instead internalised every feeling under the sun, in dizzying speeds. I cared way too much what…

Danielle LaPorte’s recent post: What to do after you have a breakthrough. (You’re going to shrink after you expand, so, listen closely.) Is a must read for ALL MY CLIENTS. Here’s the thing…  After a session, you’ll often feel fantastic. You’ll feel light and connected and full of clarity again. All that resistance you were feeling before the session seems…

‘I could never be silent for 10 days’ is most people’s reaction when you tell them you’re going to do a Vipassana 10 day silent meditation in the Blue Mountains. To which I would now reply ‘you totally could. In fact you would enjoy the silence so much you’ll hate it when it comes back to actually talking, truly’. If you’re…

  When you feel sad, anxious, depressed, any heavy emotion – what do you do? Do you run back to pleasure? I know I do. Food. Booze. Sex. Meditation. Yoga. Relationships. There are tonnes of ways we do it. But what if we don’t run back? What if we we’re ok in the pain? Like really ok. Life is a…

In Gabby Bernstein’s workshop a few weeks ago she made the following comment ‘the presence of fear is when we are relying on our own strength’. This statement has been huge for me. Whenever I get a trigger of anxiety and fear i.e. I start worrying about something in the upcoming future based on something from my past, I return to this…

As the year draws to a close it’s tempting to get caught up in ‘what have I really achieved this year?’ It’s easy for the comparison to kick in. Facebook and Instagram are great tools for this. And yes yes, you’ve probably heard that when the need to compare kicks in, we should reframe it by understanding, deep down we…

It’s not easy when our external world is the exact opposite of what we want. It’s hard to maintain faith, a commitment to our dreams and desires when it feels like all our prayers are going unanswered. I’ve worked with loads of clients over the years who have wanted boyfriends, babies and new jobs. And at the immediate time it feels…

There was a time when dining alone, checking into a hostel alone, wandering the streets alone made me feel awfully uncomfortable. Now (thankfully) there is a sense of total empowerment that comes with being ok to be alone. To feel confident and secure within this vulnerability. For me, this ok-ness creates space for me to observe and absorb. Observe. Absorb….

I said, ‘I’m excited to travel on my own for a bit, meet some new people, make some new friends.’ He replied, ‘New friends? You need more friends? I know people who say, Oh I’m going to stay with my friend in France. You say I’m going to stay with my friends in Europe. And you mean it. AND, look…

1. Go for a walk. Get those endorphins pumping. Clear the head. Move to music. Walk underneath trees. Soak up their life force. Jump in the sea. Marvel at everything around you! 2. Journal. Type. Get it out of your head and onto another medium. Putting pen to paper is incredibly cathartic. It does good things to the brain. And if…
