Origins
We are here, finally! The launching of my business venture
So how did we begin?
In April of 2024 I suffered a severe burnout. This was not my first. Quite the contrary I realised I had been following a pattern on and off for years, work, burnout, quit, recover, repeat.
This year, after recovering from my worst burnout yet I finally broke these toxic cycles. In breaking these cycles, I finally realised where the problem for me truly lied.
Yes, I knew how to meditate, move my body, and live in tune with the seasons. I followed all the best advice, went to therapists, wellbeing and mindfulness books, yet the cycles continued.
I needed change and it had to be BIG.
For years I have been coaching, friends, friends of friends, until they would bring strangers to me. Helping them make a solid plan and small life changes that can lead to big movements and changes in thoughts, feeling, and eventually behaviour.
I would use all my experience in therapy and alternative holistic methods like tarot and forest bathing to give them the tools to help themselves.
This culminated in the creation of The Wisdom Apothecary.
A space I have designed to be more than a coaching service, a store, a blog. A home for truly holistic, integrated, and personalised health service, designed to give you the confidence to make changes to your lifestyle, self-manage your symptoms, motivate yourself and above all else find the peace and joy that is so easy lost in a world that is so fast paced.
I have truly created the service I needed when I was burnt out.
I hope you find a piece of yourself here.
