I had the "good life". It nearly put me to sleep.
Good job, lovely home, a marriage, every box ticked — and a life spent scrolling, numb, wondering why none of it felt like anything. For a year I told myself this was normal. Then I stopped pretending.
I walked away from the life that looked right and went looking for the one that felt right. The breath found me first — one session cracked me open like nothing before it. Then the wild finished the job: red rock, cold water, big silence.
I trained as a life coach, hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, became a breathwork facilitator, and spent years guiding women through Kakadu, Litchfield, Katherine and the Red Centre — hundreds of women, thousands of breaths, and a 4.9-star trail of reviews that still makes me teary.
Wild Spirit Rising is all of that in one name: the breath, the wild, and the woman who comes back when the two meet.
