My Story

My grief journey began at the tender age of 20, when my beautiful Mum (pictured above) was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer...

In the span of four months, I saw her deteriorate rapidly and eventually take her last breath. During that time, I grieved the person I knew her to be - the vivacious, stylish, and unconditionally loving mother and human. While I was lucky to be there in her final moment, I really had no idea how hard the grief journey would be.

I didn’t have many coping tools, my friends at that age couldn’t understand, and I was completely lost and hopeless. I shut down and chose not to feel anything (for years!). I was breathing but not truly living. 

Nevertheless, I kept journalling, and writing poems and songs in my notebooks. After 4 years, I started sharing my work in public.

That led me to meeting others who were grieving, to find some inspiration, and helped me realised that I wasn’t alone

Since then, I’ve gone on to create numerous grief-focused initiatives, such as:

Through years of trial and error, finding different ways of processing and integrating grief into my life, I’m now living an enriching, meaningful life - one with hope, love, and peace.

This is something I want and believe is possible for everyone who’s grieving, including YOU.

Most important of all is that my Mum is still a huge part of my life and I couldn’t do what I do without her! I’ve learned to honour her every step of the way.

While writing remains vital in my grief journey, over time I’ve also studied and utilised the amazing benefits of movement, presence, ritual, and community connection.

In 1 on 1 coaching sessions with me, I’ll be drawing not only on my 15 years of lived experience of grief, but also my insights, formal education, and over 10 years of professional experience in facilitation and holding space for others as they navigate difficult times and transitions in their life.
