Hey There!

About Me

I should probably start with a confession: I am not your typical wellness guru. I don’t wake up at 5 AM to drink lemon water and meditate in a sunlit room filled with houseplants (I mean, I try, but my track record is... spotty at best). I’m still figuring things out. I am still healing. And that’s exactly why I created Blue Hour Mind - because healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence.

For years, I thought healing wasn’t for people like me. I wasn’t zen enough, disciplined enough, or "clean" enough. I was too far gone, too stuck in my survival patterns, too resistant to change. And honestly? It was easier to believe that than to face my pain. I spent years running - into distractions, into self-destruction, into anything that numbed me enough to make life feel bearable.

Then I got pregnant with my daughter, and suddenly, I couldn’t just exist in survival mode anymore. My entire life flashed before me - not just my past, but the future I was unconsciously shaping for her. I knew I had two choices: keep walking the path I was on, or do the terrifying work of healing. Not just for her. But for me.

Healing has been messy. It has been nonlinear. But it has also been the most worthwhile thing I have ever done.​​

​

What I Do & Why It Matters​

I created Blue Hour Mind because I was tired of the self-help industry being dominated by overpriced courses, unattainable perfection, the promise of 2 week masterclasses promising a quick-fix, and advice that doesn’t actually work when life feels like it’s falling apart. I wanted a space for real healing—for the kind of transformation that happens in tiny, non-glamorous steps. The kind that happens even when you’re still struggling.

​

Because let’s be honest—you don’t need to drop thousands on an eBook, a coaching subscription, or a $10,000 water purification system to start healing or live your best life. You don’t need to be vegan, wake up at sunrise, or radiate positive vibes 24/7. Healing isn’t a luxury item. It’s a daily practice, and it belongs to all of us.

​

Here’s what you’ll find in this space:

✔ The Blog – Honest, no-BS conversations about trauma healing, nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, and mindset shifts that actually stick.
✔ The Community Page – Because healing was never meant to be done alone. Connect with others who are walking this path too.
✔ The Book Club – A deep dive into the books that challenge, inspire, and push us toward growth. No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just real, insightful discussions.
✔ The Communal Art Gallery – A space to share poetry, artwork, and stories—because healing isn’t just about talking. Sometimes, it’s about creating.
✔ Future Events & Resources – I have big plans for this space. Live events, group discussions, healing workshops. The vision is ever-expanding.

But Who Am I?​

Aside from being the founder of Blue Hour Mind, I’m also: a dancer, an animal lover, a writer, a mother, a human. I'm just like you, trying to make sense of the crazy experience we call life.

Here is some of my educational background:

✔ Certificate IV in Mental Health – Understanding mental health challenges and providing support with compassion and awareness.
✔ Trauma-Informed Coaching – Specialising in nervous system regulation, self-healing, and breaking old survival patterns.
✔ Somatic Therapy Practices – Because healing trauma requires working with the body, not just the mind.
✔ Experienced in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Mindfulness Techniques – Practical, science-backed strategies for emotional regulation.
✔ Expressive Arts Therapy – Using creativity as a tool for processing emotions and finding meaning.

Credentials aside? I’m still in the trenches. I’m still unlearning. Healing isn’t just something I write about; it’s something I’ve had to navigate firsthand. Like many, I didn’t grow up with the tools to process pain or show myself kindness. For a long time, I believed healing was about fixing myself; until I realised it was about learning to meet myself with the same care I so freely gave to others.

​

Through my writing, I hope to share the lessons I’ve learned (often the hard way), the stories that shaped me, and the small moments of humour that have kept me going. Whether my words make you laugh, help you feel seen, or simply remind you that you’re not alone in this, my goal is to create a space where self-compassion feels a little more accessible; one imperfect, human moment at a time. I want to acknowledge that this space isn't about me, it's a space to bring people together.

Why Community Matters Here

​
In ancient cultures, healing was never an isolated journey. It happened in circles, in shared rituals, in the presence of others who had walked the same road. But today, healing is often done in silence, behind closed doors, in loneliness. And that makes it harder.

When my self-worth was at its lowest, I surrounded myself with the wrong people - seeking out toxic spaces that reinforced my pain instead of helping me escape it. That cycle left me feeling like I wasn’t "good enough" for real connection. Like I was broken in a way that couldn’t be fixed. That’s a belief I am still unlearning.

That’s why community is the foundation of this space. Because healing isn’t just personal - it’s collective. Whether you’re here to read, to share, to connect, or just to remind yourself that you’re not alone, you belong here. This space is for you.
