My Journey to Wellness
Wellness is a Choice
I am living proof that health is just a choice away. The photo on the left above was during my time with the corporate sector working for one of the 4 large banks here in Australia at the time. I was leaving home at 4am, spending time on a train commute into Brisbane from the Sunshine Coast and returning home at 6pm in the dark in winter each evening. I drank a lot of alcohol every night (I have a UDL in my hand in the pic on the left). I was miserable and stuck in a work and life rut. I suffered insomnia. I suffered from the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. I had chronic depression, crying often and high anxiety. My nerves were on the edge. I over reacted to every little trigger and circumstance.
Everything began to change for me in 2012 when I quit my corporate job and began building an Organic Garden
My Journey into growing Organic Food
My journey into growing organic food began as a complete novice. I simply followed my intuition and I was sooo excited when I was able to eat what I grew and thrilled at how good it tasted! In the video below, you'll see the first fruits of my labour. I developed a website called My Garden 2 Yours where I chronologically documented my learning. I also had a Facebook page and sold heirloom seeds and organic seedlings I propagated on ebay. It was exciting for me... so exciting to share the little bits of knowledge I was developing with others.
I attended seed saving groups, Permaculture groups during the day. I worked nights at a warehouse stacking shelves, pulling pallets and going up and down ladders to get stock down for shelves and customers alike. I went from a very sedentary lifestyle to a very active one. I ran every day. I lifted light weights. I attended yoga, I lost weight. I loved life again! I rediscovered purpose and passion.

Although I had come a long way, I was still allowing myself to react to outside triggers and I was still creating stress in my life. I had just begun thinking about my purpose and what my calling was. Happiness was still external at this point, I was just discovering that Happiness is an inside job!
It was June 2018 that I quit full time work for others and I launched my career as a self employed Entrepreneur and Alternative Health Therapist.
Earthing became a large part of my life (3 Min)
Earthing - The Science (1 Hour 15 Min)
The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding (full documentary)
"The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding" is directed by Sundance Award-Winning filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell (The Big Fix, FUEL, etc). This is a feature-length documentary based on their viral short film entitled 'Down To Earth,' that reveals the scientific phenomenon of how we can heal our bodies by doing the simplest thing that a person can do…standing barefoot on the earth. The winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at Dances With Films Festival, the film shares the Tickell family's journey with the healing power of grounding, aka earthing, and the people they met and learned from along the way; featuring grounding pioneer Clint Ober, author Deepak Chopra M.D., actress/activist Amy Smart, author/activist Mariel Hemingway, cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra, renowned healer Dr Joseph Mercola, engineer and physicist Gaetan Chevalier, PhD. and many others. Over 20 peer-reviewed studies have shown that Grounding (Earthing) reduces inflammation...one of the most damaging internal biological processes that leads to chronic disease. So get out there and put your feet on the ground, and/or increase your grounding time indoors with grounding products. Your body and mind will thank you!
