I've been on, and I still am on, a big journey of self discovery. A journey which has lead me from a place of complete lack of love for myself to a place of acceptance of who I am, filled with love not only for myself but for the world and the people in it.
I hit rock bottom in 2013 and I didn't want to be here anymore, I wasn't sure where to turn and then I found Ram Dass, my Guru. After finding him I have been on adventure after adventure, delving deeper into who I am, finding teachers to guide me and learning to step more fully into my authenticity.
I am SUCH a cliche, I have gone from fake eyelashes, hair extensions, a face thick with make-up to cover the blemishes on my face* and comparing myself to every other woman I saw... To no make-up (ok, a little concealer and some mascara, girls gotta do what a girls gotta do), my own hair and eyelashes and loving every woman I see, appreciating myself for my beauty and them for theirs. I literally hated who I saw when I looked in the mirror and didn't feel deserving of love at all. I now love the woman writing this, every flaw and imperfection just adds to my beauty showing how far I am on my journey and I love it all, even the times when I struggle.
"When a woman falls, a whole generation falls" - Yogi Bhajan
On this journey I have discovered how so many of us have a deep lack of self-love and self-acceptance and I have become very passionate in wanting to help others on their path to self-love. Since becoming pregnant in September 2018, I am now even more passionate about assisting women not only on their path to self-love but on their path through pregnancy, empowering women through movement, relaxation and knowledge so they can have the best pregnancy and birth possible for them, no matter what the situation, so that as new generations inhabit the planet we create a world filled with love instead of hatred. Love lives within us and when we find it in ourselves, we find it everywhere.
