Although the first 30 years of my life were full of creativity, adventure and love, I knew that something was missing. Something I had been searching for since my teenage years. When life hit me head on in 2002, leaving me as a single mother of a newborn and a toddler I became desperate to find a way to deal the deep hole with in me.

I turned to conventional counselling and although I felt the sincerity of the many wonderful therapists I worked with, I just was unable to ever touch the emptiness. It seemed like only the surface was being addressed. I was able to get momentary relief from my pain, but nothing seemed to have a lasting impact. I kept on with my life, pretty much flat-lining through the busy-ness of mother hood.

And then, through a chance encounter, I was introduced to Transpersonal Breathwork, at that time still often referred to as Rebirthing, due to the transformational nature of the process. My world was turned around. I was on a new journey. An inner journey. Over the next few years I followed the deep knowing I had been reconnected to. I knew I was on the right path. But that path sure was rocky. Until I picked up my life and moved to the Tamban Forest in 2004. Not only did I find my soul home on that land. I was put into connection with the soul mentors I needed to support me growing into my true self.

I began engaging in regular workshops at the Inner Journey Centre, Ellenborough, with the amazing Transpersonal Breathwork practitioners from a linage beginning with Stan Grof. The range of supportive Transpersonal and Experiential Psychotherapy modalities that are used along side and to integrate Breathwork experiences have continued to support my own inner journey. I found a taste of the true peace I had been looking for. It is of course a continued journey. However I am now able to find my centre in any storm. My true internal power, deep knowing and strength beyond what I had thought I was capable of.
