About Me
I know what it feels like to lose yourself.
To look like you’re holding everything together…
while quietly feeling disconnected from who you are.
For me, that began with motherhood.
What I thought would feel natural… didn’t.
I experienced postnatal depression, and at the time, I didn’t yet recognise how much alcohol was becoming a way I coped.
Over the years, I felt myself drifting further away.
From the things that once filled me up.
From the version of me who knew how to take care of herself.
THE PATTERN
Like many women, I tried to fix it the only way I knew how—
By doing more.
I built a Pilates studio from the ground up.
From the outside, it looked like success.
But underneath it?
I was exhausted.
Burnt out.
Disconnected.
When COVID shut the studio down, everything stopped.
And for the first time… I had space to actually look at how I was living.
THE SHIFT
That’s when I found Human Design.
And for the first time, things made sense.
As a Splenic Projector, I wasn’t designed to keep pushing at that pace.
But I had been living in a world that rewarded exactly that.
Even knowing this… I still fell back into old patterns.
Overworking.
Overgiving.
Trying to hold everything together.
Until I couldn’t anymore.
THE DECISION
At the beginning of 2025, I made a decision that changed everything.
I got sober.
And at the same time, I was given the opportunity to open Rise Studio.
But this time, I did it differently.
Not from pressure.
Not from proving.
From a place of honesty.
Because I knew I didn’t want to build another life that burnt me out.
I wanted something sustainable.
Something real.
WHAT I BELIEVE NOW
I believe strength matters.
But not just physical strength.
Mental health matters.
Self-awareness matters.
The way you speak to yourself matters.
Slowing down.
Reflecting.
Creating space to actually hear yourself again.
That’s what changed everything for me.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
I don’t do this because I have everything figured out.
I do this because I know what it feels like to be disconnected…
and what it takes to come back.
Through movement, reflection, Human Design, and honest conversations—
I’ve found ways to return to myself.
Again and again.
And now, I create spaces for other women to do the same.
You don’t need to become someone new.
You just need to come back to yourself.

You don’t need to keep doing this on your own
There’s a different way to live—
one where you feel more connected, more grounded, and more like yourself.
I’d love to support you…if you’re ready.
