You Can’t Create Wellness Treating Your Body as a Standalone

Usually, I’m the one helping others dig deep to unearth their BS stories (limiting beliefs), so they can get unstuck and unleash their brilliance into the world.

🤒But this time, it was me who needed the help.

Over the past year, I’ve been navigating health challenges like I’d never experienced before. At first, I went the normal route - treating the symptoms, doing all the “right” things - but intuitively I knew the dis-ease ran deeper. Much deeper.

So, I began exploring the origins and belief structures behind what was playing out in my body.

😇It’s been an incredible journey.

My symptoms have shown up as diabetes, glaucoma, and chronic fatigue - and all of them traced back to something I never expected: birth trauma.

I came into this world as a 3.5lb baby in an incubator, in a different city to my family. My mother was in another hospital altogether, recovering from cancer. The incubator kept me alive (a gift I’ll always be grateful for), but it also created layers of beliefs that - unbeknownst to me - shaped my life for decades.

Some of those hidden beliefs looked like:

👉Choosing freedom at the cost of financial stability (busting out of the box/incubator).

👉Not putting down roots, always searching for “home.”

👉Struggling to fully experience joy.

👉A deep fear of seeing what was “out there,” rooted in the drugs that kept me alive in the womb and later led to surgery for crossed eyes at 18 months old.

Working with an intuitive mentor, a counsellor, and later a healer, I started peeling back those layers. Just like the work I do with clients, I was invited to look beneath the surface story, into the shadows, into the roots.

That’s where the real gold is.

This process has been a powerful reminder: wellness can’t be created by treating the body as separate from the mind, emotions, or spirit. Everything is connected. The story we carry—and the beliefs we’ve unconsciously layered in—play just as big a role in our health as food, exercise, or medicine.

It’s been a vulnerable, confronting, and liberating path. And now, more than ever, I know that the very tools I use with others—the digging, the shifting, the reframing—are what help bring us back into alignment, not just mentally or emotionally, but physically too.

❤️Think of Louise L. Hay (You Can Heal Your Life) and Inna Segal (The Secret Language of Your Body) wrapped up in a big bundle of inner work. That’s what this has felt like for me.

And it’s why I’m so passionate about guiding others through their own layers—whether they show up as fear, frustration, anxiety, or even physical dis-ease. Because when we shift the story, we shift the vibration. And when we shift the vibration, healing becomes possible on every level.
