Empowering MothersI'M STILL IN AWE AT THE TRANSFORMATION...“Motherhood: All love beginsand ends there”After giving birth to my son Kai, I embarked on a deep journeyto connect with my new identity as a mother. I had always been such a free spirit, travelling the world-Living with shaman in the jungle, teaching English in Japanand South Korea, learning Italian in Italy. I loved life and itwas sooooo juicy and colourful to me! I was in love with learning and stretching myself out of mycomfort zone. I had so much energy and mental stamina todo anything that I wanted. I trained in Kundalini yoga andtaught all over the world, I did theta healing training andbegan to understand the power of our mind, trained in reikihealing and later became a primary teacher. I believed that my transition into motherhood would be aseasy and as fun as every other chapter. This was not thecase. Becoming a mother and a single parent was the mostdifficult period of my life, a a huge shift for me as a humanbeing. Although I was completely in love with my little boy, I foundmyself to be pretty lost. My power that had always beenthere diminished and my crystal clear vision for life was nolonger there. I quite literally lost myself in this bubble of love which broughtup a lot of sadness, loss, despair and exhaustion. I did wonder if I would ever return to my true essence, to myjoyful nature full of dreams and to my own empowered path...

The biggest lesson for me was to allowothers to enter into my world to providesupport. I had always been able toindependently look after myself withoutleaning on the support of others. Aftergiving birth, I realised that I could notmanage alone.As a proud individual, it took a lot ofcourage to reach out. This was the mostempowering step that I took and itconnected me to amazing women anddoulas who offered their care, advice andwarm support. I gained emotional support to help meovercome some challenging moments;women who listened and helped me tune inagain to my true essence. These womenreally heard me without without judgementin all of my despair and joy. The strength and clarity that I gainedthrough the support of these women is whatreally brought me back to my core and withthat so many gifts. I don't think I would havegotten back my lioness strength withoutthem.When I accessed my full potential again, Iwas able to nurture my beautiful son from aplace of peace and empowerment and thismade all of the difference. This set me onthe path to share with other mothers......Empowering MothersWHEN LESSONS TURN INTO BLESSINGSEmpoweredWomen,EmpowerWomen.

After my birth, it took some time to step back into myown power and own it again. With my new role as a dedicated mother, I had tomake time to align myself againwith my dreams and values. As mothers, we still deserve to nurture our innerdesires and passions. My purpose on this course is to be here with you onthis beautiful journey as a mother, to honour you asa woman and to bring you back to your full potential.This course will allow you to align with peace, powerand joy so that you can fully be with your beautifulchild/children. I have supported women all of my life in varioussettings; work and life. I have ledyoga/meditation/sound healing workshops toindividuals and groups of women. I have worked inrefuges that support women who have undergonedomestic abuse. I have received a lot of training in counselling andother therapeutical work for women. To consolidateall of this experience and bring it into the field ofdoula work, I did postnatal training with VictoriaGreenly - Owner of Younique Postnatal.

Birth is a life changing event;beautiful, daunting andoverwhelming at times. I gavebirth to a beautiful boy two yearsago and it has been quite the journey. Despite the challenges that Ihave faced, I have been able tobuild a toolkit to help me becomethe woman/mother that Ienvisioned; strong, nurturing andfull of joy and passion! I feel a strength in me that hascome through having a difficultlabour and with that a highdegree of empathy andcompassion. My aim is to help all women ontheir path of motherhood so thatthey too can feel empowered,supported and relaxed during thisspecial time. You can count on me and thiscourse to bring back that gentlepower that can be so easily lostwhen we suddenly have to carefor another being.
