My Story

This Is An Invitation To Take In Story Differently

Before I begin, I invite you to take in story differently. The story I share is not offered for sympathy, comparison, or pity.

It’s not about what went wrong. It’s about what was revealed, reclaimed, and what was reborn through it. Like all of us in varied degrees, I’ve walked through some painful and profound thresholds.

But I don’t tell my story to be rescued or revered. I share it to remind you that your story matters too.

The places we’ve been broken open are often the same places where our brilliance shines through. So, I invite you to listen not for the wound but for the wisdom. And not for the pain, but for the power forged through it.

This is the alchemy of story. and its something we all carry.

My life began on the shores of a small coastal town in South Australia. The sea was my first song, the sky my first story. But life, even in such beauty, held shadows. I was born into a family wounded by addiction and abuse. The atmosphere was often harsh, and the emotional landscape unpredictable. Yet, within that early instability, there were glowing shades of grace.

I was held, lovingly and powerfully, by three remarkable women. My Great-Grandmother Elizabeth, my Nanna Edna, and my mother Valmae. Each of them embodied something timeless and sacred: a quiet resilience, a fierce love, and the kind of feminine strength grounded in dignity and hope. They didn’t just raise me—they initiated me. Their presence became my first temple, their wisdom my first light codes. They planted the seed of what would one day become my life’s purpose.

But the path was not easy. As a teenager, I endured a violent sexual assault that left deep wounds on my heart, and my Soul. For a time, parts of me were lost inside myself. I carried the trauma like a silent stone. But even in that deep darkness, something luminous still stirred. A vow, spoken not out loud but in the marrow of my being:

This will not define me. I will make something purposeful from this pain.

My healing wasn’t linear. It was a spiral—a path of shadow and light, I turned inward and I listened. I journaled, created, meditated, and cried. I let my creativity be my comfort, and I fully leaned into my spiritual practice. I explored the world of archetypes, learned to name my inner patterns, and eventually reassembled the pieces of who I was and could be.

Over time, I began to realise something profound: My Pain was a Portal and my Story, the Sacred Key. What once felt like a personal battle revealed itself as my Soul’s Assignment, my life’s purpose.

This understanding became the foundation of everything I would go on to create. I stepped fully into my soul’s work as a Sacred Beauty Mentor —a woman devoted to illuminating other women’s paths, from pain to purpose, from confusion to clarity, and from hiding to radiant embodiment.

And so I created my books and cards:

Each offering came through me like a transmission—shaped by my own lived experience, yes, but also by something greater. A divine impulse and calling to add value. Through my retreats, 1:1 sessions, workshops, and gatherings, I’ve made it my life’s work to walk beside women as they rise from the trials of their own becoming.

I know what it means to feel broken, voiceless, or disconnected from one’s life purpose. And I also know what it feels like to come home to yourself. This is not just a story of survival. It’s a story of release and revelation—a story of sacred becoming.

Because no matter how deep the pain, there is always a way through. And if we dare to sit with the darkness, the light will always find us.

My motto in life: Master my talents, create my art, always give generously, and never give up on my loved ones or myself.
