My Healing Journey
I created the Fertile Feminine because I too have struggled with my own health. For years I couldn’t understand why I had fatigue, PMS, skin issues and chronic low iron levels. I spent so many years looking for answers. This was my trigger to spend the next 8 years on a transformational journey and to study Naturopathy. With all the mind body spirit knowledge I had gained, I was able to bring myself to a place of healing.
But once I made the decision to become a mother and I was pregnant, I realised there was even more healing to be done. To be frank, I did not enjoy my pregnancy, I experienced fluid retention and swelling from 20 weeks, was frequently nauseous and the fatigue really hit me. I didn’t feel like myself and realised I did not spend enough time and energy preparing my body and tapping into my feminine before falling pregnant. So many limiting beliefs and wounds came up in my pregnancy to be healed. I often found myself crying whilst alone wondering if I was cut out to be a mother. My early postpartum was met with a number of challenges. I struggled to slow down and embrace those early months of new motherhood. My journey from maiden to mother felt like it was far from smooth sailing with breastfeeding challenges and a less than ideal birth experience. In those first months I experienced pain in my body, postpartum anxiety, low mood and a rollercoaster of emotions. Looking back, I know I didn’t take care of myself in the way that I teach my clients to.
This cracked open another journey of transformation. I wanted to heal these deeper layers of myself physically and emotionally that I had neglected.
I hired practitioners and mentors, rectified nutrient deficiencies, did all the functional testing and took the right supplements and herbs for me. I truly did the healing work to reconnect with and embody my feminine.
I was able to...
Feel a new found sense of energy.
Reduce the tension in my body and soothe my nervous system.
Connect with my body and alchemised my emotions.
Reawaken a greater level of divine feminine power, inner wisdom, pleasure and joy in my life as a woman and a mother.
This journey from maiden to mother is a huge transition for every woman and my mission and purpose is to provide you with all the knowledge and guidance to ensure your transition into pregnancy and postpartum can be the most empowering, joyful and heart filled experience.
