I’m often asked what made me start Shine Health & Wellness.
The honest answer is simple — it was when my son almost died.
Most people in the health space are still chasing symptoms.
I’m looking at energy.
Mothers are some of the most intuitive healers on the planet. And yet, somewhere along the way, we’ve been trained to forget that.
I see it every day — and to be honest, it frustrates me deeply.
Mindset is powerful.
But it’s not the whole story.
Affirmations aren’t the problem.
The timing is.
There was a very clear moment when everything changed for me.
It was the moment I realised no one was coming to save my son.
There are moments in life when everything you’ve prepared for suddenly unravels… and you’re left standing in the unknown.
But there’s one moment in my professional life that taught me a lesson I will never forget.
When most people think about financial freedom, they picture spreadsheets, strategies, business plans, or the next big idea.
I’ve learned something far more profound.
People often assume confidence is something you’re born with...
But if you had met me in my early years, you would’ve seen a completely different story.
Some transformations stay with you forever.
They don’t just shift the client — they shift you.
There are moments in life that mark you forever.
Moments that split your world into “before” and “after.”
Still inflamed?
Still exhausted?
Still searching?
Walking away from a thriving business was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made.
From the outside, it looked safe.
But inside, something else was rising — something louder than fear.
Here’s the truth most people are never told:
Trauma doesn’t just live in your mind.
It lives in your body.
It lives in your fascia.
In your tissues.
In your cells.
There’s a product many people use every single day — one that looks healthy, smells incredible, and feels harmless.
But the truth?
What if I told you that real energy doesn’t come from another pill, powder, or protocol?
Because here’s the truth I see every day in clinic
Most women I work with don’t come in weak.
They come in drained.
They tell me they’re burnt out — from working too hard, caring too much, pushing through.
If your skincare routine isn’t quietly interfering with your hormones — you’re one of the lucky ones.
Because the reality is this...
For a long time, I thought I had a willpower problem.
I couldn’t focus.
I couldn’t stop stress eating.
I found myself snapping at the people I love — and then feeling guilty about it.
Imagine building your business and your body — at the same time.
Not in isolation.
Not in competition.
But surrounded by women who truly get it.
I built my first business at sixteen.
Not to be a “boss babe.”
Not for anything flashy or aspirational.
I did it to afford textbooks… and aerobics classes.
The girl who was too scared to read out loud in class?
Yeah… she became the face of MTV.
Growing up, I was bullied.
Labelled.
Misunderstood.
After Steve Irwin passed away, someone had to step into his shoes.
That someone… was me.
My son was showing early signs of leukemia.
And the specialist’s advice was simple:
“Wait and see.”
I couldn’t.
High-performing.
Always “on.”
Achieving on paper… yet still exhausted?
This is your wake-up call.
Most people spend their lives stuck in survival mode — overworked, overmedicated, under-rested — and told to just push through. To ignore the signals. To silence the body instead of listening to it.
There’s a reason aging feels harder than it should.
And almost nobody is talking about it.
This machine doesn’t just relax you.
It sends a very clear message to your nervous system:
“You’re safe now.”
Most people spend their lives stuck in survival mode — overworked, overmedicated, under-rested — and told to just push through.
To ignore the signals. To silence the body instead of listening to it.
Most business owners are working tirelessly to build a million-dollar business…
while quietly destroying a million-dollar body at the same time.
Every 10 kilos you put on now doesn’t just change how you feel today.
It quietly robs you of years later.
This isn’t about shaming your body.
You’re the CEO of your business, right?
Great.
So why are you running your body like a broke startup?
Tracking every dollar and every invoice in your business is essential.
But when was the last time you tracked your energy?
Deadlines in business are important.
But they’re not the most important deadline you have.
When you tell yourself, “I’ll deal with it later,” when it comes to your health…
It’s going to bite you later in life.
Every business owner invests in funnels, mentorships, systems, and paid ads.
And yet most of them forget the one thing that will destroy everything they’re building.
Want to know the most expensive leak in your business?
It’s not your ad spend.
How much longer do you think this can hold?
The pushing.
The ignoring.
The grind.
That’s not how healing works.
Because trauma doesn’t live in your thoughts.
One of the most eye-opening things I’ve witnessed in my work is how deeply the body stores emotional experiences — even the ones we can’t consciously recall.
Because most people assume trauma is something you remember.
Your vagus nerve might be offline.
The vagus nerve is one of the most important systems in the body — it’s the master switch that tells your nervous system:
“You’re safe now.”
Emotions like anger, shame, grief, fear — they don’t just fade because time passes or because you’ve “moved on.” When they aren’t processed fully, they don’t disappear.
They get stored.
Talking. Processing. Analysing. Reliving.
But the body already knows.
