For over 25 years, I’ve walked the path of health, fitness, and wellness — not just as a career, but as a calling.
Today, I stand here as The Awake Wellness Warrioress — not because the journey was easy, but because it was real. It was messy. It was painful. And it was beautiful.
I know what it feels like to live a “healthy lifestyle” yet still feel exhausted, inflamed, and out of balance. I know the weight of loneliness, heartbreak, and self-doubt. I know the frustration of doing all the right things — eating clean, moving daily, meditating — yet still not feeling whole.
The truth? No course, program, or quick fix could give me what I was searching for.
Everything shifted when I stopped looking outside of myself and turned inward — when I began honouring my unique body, my energy, my soul blueprint.
Everything shifted when I stopped looking outside of myself and turned inward — when I began honouring my unique body, my energy, my soul blueprint.
That’s when I discovered that true wellness isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about awakening yourself.
🌿 Awakening your health.
🔥 Awakening your purpose.
💎 Awakening your power.
🔥 Awakening your purpose.
💎 Awakening your power.
And that is the heart of my mission.
Through my work — Coaching, Body Awakening Movement, essential oils, transformational programs, and wellness products — I guide women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond to reclaim their vitality, ignite their inner fire, and embody the Warrioress within.
Because you are not broken.
You are not behind.
You are simply being called to rise.
You are not behind.
You are simply being called to rise.
I help women step into balance, confidence, and freedom — physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Together, we weave science, holistic wellness, and soul wisdom into practical, sustainable strategies that fit into real life.
Today, I feel deeply grateful for every hardship I’ve endured — the heartbreaks, the lessons, the moments of collapse — because they shaped me into who I am now:
Awakened. Empowered. Fierce in spirit. Soft in heart.
And now, I get to walk beside women like you as you rise into your most authentic, radiant, and powerful self.
- This is your time.
- This is your awakening.
- This is your Warrioress journey.
I warmly invite you to join me and our community of Awaken Wellness Warriors — a safe, inspiring, and nurturing space where you will discover the knowledge, tools, and soul-aligned support to transform your life from the inside out.

As I learned to honour my unique HealthType, and as I truly began to accept, understand, and love myself,
my entire life transformed — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Today, I don’t just feel "healthy."

Acceptance
True transformation starts with radical acceptance.

Acceptance is the beginning of freedom.

Every woman around me was carefully wrapping herself in a towel, turning away, doing her best to stay covered.
It wasn’t a large room — and there were cubicles with doors for anyone who wanted privacy — yet still, there was this sense of needing to hide.
And it made me pause.
Why do we feel we need to hide our bodies… even in a space that’s just for women?
Why do we feel we need to hide our bodies… even in a space that’s just for women?
Growing Up in Sweden Was Different
I grew up in Sweden, where this was never the case. The showers in change rooms were open — no curtains, no cubicles.
Women would stand side by side — showering, chatting, laughing. Bodies were just bodies. There was no shame, no awkwardness, no sense of needing to cover up.
When I was rowing, we even shared the sauna with men. It wasn’t strange. It was simply normal.
A Memory With My Daughter
When my children were little, I saw how different things were here in Australia. My daughter would use her towel like a shield after swimming lessons, because that’s what “everyone did.”
But when she was 11 (and my son was 9), we spent three months in Sweden.
One day, she came home after sports at school, her eyes wide.
“Mum… the girls were all running around naked in the change room! Showering, laughing, not even caring!”
At first, she was shocked. A little uncomfortable.
But then she noticed the freedom in it — the comfort, the joy, the complete lack of shame.

That memory has always stayed with me.
A Body is a Body
I’ve worked with bodies for over 25 years. I’ve seen every shape, every size, every scar, every wrinkle, every story.
And you know what?
👉 None of that defines a person.
👉 None of that defines a person.
Your body is not who you are.
Your body is your temple.
Your body is your temple.
Bodies Change — And That’s a Privilege
As women, our bodies go through incredible journeys:
🤰 Pregnancy
🧒 Birth
🌙 Menopause
⏳ Aging
🤰 Pregnancy
🧒 Birth
🌙 Menopause
⏳ Aging
Bellies stretch. Breasts sag. Skin wrinkles. Gravity leaves its mark.
Yes, those changes can feel confronting when we look in the mirror.
But every mark, every fold, every wrinkle is proof that you’ve lived.
But every mark, every fold, every wrinkle is proof that you’ve lived.
And isn’t that worth embracing?
My Message to You Today
Can you stand in front of a mirror and truly love what you see?
Not “one day when you’ve lost weight.”
Not “when you’ve toned up.”
Not “when you’ve toned up.”
But right now.
👉 Can you love the belly that carried your babies?
👉 The wrinkles that came from years of laughter and tears?
👉 The softness that time has gifted you?

And if you choose to make changes, do it from love — not shame.
Move your body, nourish it, care for it. Not because you need to be “perfect,” but because you love yourself enough to honour your temple.

Another Reflection…
Why do we hide so much here in Australia?
Why don’t we allow female teachers to simply supervise girls in change rooms — showing them what healthy, comfortable body acceptance looks like? Perhaps that role-modelling is what young girls need most.
And here’s where I may differ from some: I believe there are two sexes — female and male. And we can honour that without shame, without confusion, and without losing the sacredness of our spaces.
What I Believe Deeply
✔️ A body is a body — it is not who you are.
✔️ Every wrinkle, every fold, every scar tells your story.
✔️ Hiding feeds shame. Embracing feeds love.
✔️ Self-love begins when you stop fighting your reflection.
✔️ Every wrinkle, every fold, every scar tells your story.

A Question For You
👉 What is your relationship with your body?
👉 Do you hide, or are you learning to accept and love yourself?
👉 Why do you think women hide in change rooms here in Australia?
👉 Do you hide, or are you learning to accept and love yourself?
👉 Why do you think women hide in change rooms here in Australia?
This may trigger some… but maybe that’s the point.
Maybe it’s time we open up the conversation.
Because real self-love doesn’t start “one day when we’re perfect.”
It starts now.
With the body you live in today.
It starts now.
With the body you live in today.
Love it. Care for it. Honour it.
Because it’s yours.
And it’s beautiful.
Because it’s yours.
And it’s beautiful.
