I had a ni**le in the back of my head saying “You should wait”.

But I ignored it because I did not want to consider the worst case scenario. It was probably nothing to worry about, and even if it was the big C, the trip was nearly a year away. I’ll be fine by then…

But when you get diagnosed with cancer, there is no quick fix.

7 months of active treatment look like 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy with 8 weeks recovery, 15 rounds of radiation, a bilateral oophorectomy with 4 weeks recovery and months of deciding if I would have reconstructive therapy.

3 years later, we took the trip.

No more treatment or surgery, cancer free and feeling in a good place physically and mentally.

I have days where I don’t even think about cancer and life has fallen into a beautiful routine, of some boring normality.

2023 me, would be so proud to see me now. Knowing it all worked out and we’d get there eventually.

So If you are going through treatment or just finished and landing with the reality of what has just happened. I know it feels unbearable at times. But keep going, it does get better on the other side and you will settle into the new (and different) version of yourself. 💖

I said what I said! ✨

I’m a holistic counsellor who uses the science and the spiritual tools.

A lot of our ‘problems’ can be put down to our energy. I use sage to clear & palo santo to attract positive.

Would love to know any of your tools or things you do to help clear heavy emotions?

Pop them below ✨🦄

Can I be honest with you?

The post-cancer chapter is just as hard as treatment.

I hear it from my clients, and I’ve felt it with my own journey.

Because suddenly it’s not just one voice in your head, it’s a million.

The worrier, the warrior, the one who’s exhausted, the one who’s angry, the one who just wants to feel normal again.

All showing up at once. All with something to say. Leaving you confused, frustrated, and completely worn out.

Here’s what I want you to know, those parts aren’t here to make your life harder. They’re trying to protect you. They just need you to see them.

This masterclass is your permission slip to do exactly that.

Not to fight those parts.

Not to silence them.

But to finally understand why they’re showing up - and what they actually need from you.

When you do, everything starts to shift.

I’m not here to “fix” you.

I’m here to help you understand yourself, feel safe in your body, and actually move forward.

If you’re done with surface-level advice and ready for real support , stick around 🤍

You know the feeling, your eyes start to burn, your throat feels like it’s closing up.
The jaw tightens and your chest feels heavy and loud.

In the past the urge may have been to push it down, ignore it or tell yourself you are being soft.

No today. Feel it. Let it out.

Notice how you feel lighter after a good cry?

That’s because when you cry, it releases stress from your body.

It resets your nervous system and can even act as a pain relief for physical and emotional pain.

We are told that crying is weak.

NO. It is your body’s way of processing emotion and building resilience.

So have the cry. Then pull your hair back, slap on your favourite song and carry on like the little gangster super star you are 😘
