Hello Beautiful Person : )
I am Mj the one in the middle of this picture to the left hand side. To my left is my husband Steve and my best friend for the last 20 years. He is one of the most caring, patient and loving man I know. He actually was my mirror reflecting back to me my radiant essence long before I was ready to receive whom I really am and for many years he did this mostly in beautiful poetic words.
Sometimes when I felt unseen and misunderstood. He would offer me one of his poems, when I read them I felt completely seen and understood beyond the words. I playfully call him my therapist and coach. His greatest therapy in the earlier years of our relationship was simply just listening as I shared my stories of my childhood and expressed through tears and words, what had been buried and repressed for years. Eventually I healed enough to access my own poetry and surprised myself by becoming the new poet in my relationship. Steve began to stop writing as I began to start.
To my right is Tamara whom just spent a 3 day Yoga Detox Juice fast with me in Hanmer Springs. I am passionate about everything and anything that offers me and others self-empowered access to our own well-being and happiness.
When I reflect on my life now I see the first 17 years as incredible stressful, abusive, unstable and I generally learnt everything I did not want to be. Which was the immense gift of both my parents whom I loved very much but both were riddled with there own guilts, shame, regret, fears, lack of self love and bitterness. As a small child feeling confused and angry, I was reminded from a deep inner knowing that life was all about experiences, everyone has a story to tell and somehow the experiences I was having would gift me greater wisdom, empathy and the ability to connect with more people. At 17yr I really needed to let my hair down and I did, I went to college and had fun while I pushed my childhood to the background and all the drama, stresses and insecurities that came with it. In a sense I reclaimed the childhood I never really had by releasing some of the burdens I had become accustomed to carrying for my family for a few years. Blood is thicken than water and all that Jazz...!
After a few years of partying and travels. I was called through my own need to heal my body and align with my own soul path and gifts. I could not drink alcohol the way I once could and actually got to the stage of leaving me with hang overs for a week with stomach pains and a anxious feeling. At first on my healing journey I realised I was clueless when it came to taking care of myself but through sheer need I started to explore the alternative modalities and read books about health and nutrition. I studied yoga which was a life saver and over the years it chipped away and started to reveal to me whom I really was within and my true value and values. It was one of those things that at last was beginning to make sense of many things I felt inside but I had no reference for in my outer world.
One thing I have had to learn through my healing journey and continue to do, is to figure out how to be my own greatest empowerment so I can turn around and support others connect to theres. Facilitating QHHT sessions is truly a honour for me and aligns beautifully with my values of self-empowerment.
For those whom are ready QHHT is one of the most empowering and dynamic modalities I am aware. It facilitates lasting change, it supports people in the deeper experience and acceptance of ones truth and bigger self awareness.
In joyous service to co-creating a happy, healthy, harmonious and flourishing world.
