Having a family, children of my own, was what I always wanted for my life. "At least a couple of kids" is what I always said. I felt like my purpose was to 'be a Mum'.
I never imagined that it wouldn't happen, but cutting a very long story short - after what can only be described as years of "much trying" and the heartbreak of miscarriages, here I am now 40 years old and there is me, my gorgeous husband and our 2 little dogs.
During the last 10 years, the stress and upset of our journey and resultant childlessness gradually built and manifested themselves as physical ailments and chronic pain in my body (my jaw even dislocated itself at one point out the blue!) and times of emotionally/mentally significant low points and self sabotage in the way of alcohol issues.
Around 3.5 years ago I found breathwork which has turned my life around physically, mentally and emotionally and been the key enabler to process my devastation, the trauma, upset, resentment, confusion (and the rest....) and come to a point where I can start to feel in to levels of acceptance and find feelings of value and positivity about my future. For me, breathwork has had such a profound impact on that I am up for 3rd year graduation as a practitioner in September, so that I can support others on their own healing journey.
I've always LOVED to sing, but I've basically been far too scared to let people hear me (and during the last 10 years often haven't felt much like singing either). Breathwork has not just helped me to begin to heal but also helped me to find my voice, to open up and find my courage.
In addition to my wonderful family and friends, breathwork has been the support that I can truly lean on. I hoped to share a recording of me singing 'Lean on me' by Bill Withers (but with the twist of "Call on me Sister" instead of "brother") but sadly copyright infringement prevents me from doing so. As such, I just want to say "You can call on me sisters (and brothers), we are all in this together".
Thank-you for hearing me...
