But underneath it, I was stressed, emotionally suppressed, and quietly disconnected from myself, from my body, my truth, and what I actually wanted from my life.
When I found breathwork during a solo trip to Bali, something cracked open. I had been on a path to self-discovery for a few years, but I had no idea my nervous system was dysregulated. Emotions I'd been carrying for most of my life started moving. Things I hadn't been able to think my way through began to dissolve, not because I'd figured them out, but because my body finally had space to process them.
I knew immediately that I wanted to share this with those around me.
Not long after, I trained as a certified 9D Breathwork Facilitator and later as a Trauma-Informed Practitioner. Since April 2025, I've facilitated many sessions across Sydney, the Newcastle Region, and most recently in Bali at the Istana, a renowned meditation and healing centre. During this time I left my corporate career for good, after realising I found fulfilment in helping people. The most important thing to me is creating a judgment-free space where people can feel truly safe, for some it's the first time.
My approach blends science-backed breathwork with intuitive guidance. I don't believe healing is something I do to people. I believe the wisdom is already inside them. My job is to create the environment for it to surface, something I take extreme care in. I am fully aware that this work is sacred and not cut out for just anybody.
Revive Wellness Club exists because I wanted to take that individual experience and make it social, to show people that transformation doesn't have to be a solo journey. That you can do the deepest work of your life surrounded by strangers who may witness parts of you that even the closest people in your life don't see.
