Hello and welcome.

My name is Amie and I created this space as a means of communicating my thoughts and experiences as I have navigated away from low self-esteem. low confidence, low self-worth to a place of self-love, self-care, self-respect and improved confidence as well as belief in myself, my gifts, talents, skills and abilities.

As I write this entry, I think back over my life and all the "jobs" I have had - Checkout operator, seafood and deli department assistant, Personal Carer, Allied Health Assistant, Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Beauty Therapist, Personal Organiser.

In 2023 I was introduced to Somatic Breathwork, Grounding, Mirror Work, Embodied Dance and the realisation that, I am happiest when I am coaching, listening to people and "knowing" what to say, what to do and how to help.

December 2022 Whilst I was on maternity leave from my Allied Health Assistance job, I realised I didn't want to go back to a job I was just good at; I wanted to do a job I loved, a job that lit me up and felt like I was living my purpose.

The only time, I have truly felt like I was living in alignment was on organising projects, cooking, creating content & coaching. When I am speaking from my heart, helping others live in a sanctuary, creating food that brings comfort or joy and sharing my life I feel alive.

For the longest time, I have put my dreams on the back burner, 1 for fear, 2 imposter syndrome and 3 worrying about judgment. But fear is simply an acronym forget everything and run or Face Everything and Rise.

Now many leaders in many industries will say - you're not everyone's cup of tea, and that is true, however if you don't seek out the tea drinkers, how will you ever know.

This week I began fasting of an afternoon into the evening and then having breakfast the following day, it has allowed me to lose 2kgs easily and comfortably and has made me drink more water and hydrated with herbal teas - although that's more due to wanting to keep warm in wintry Melbourne temperatures.

Watching Facebook videos of content creators I admire, and respect has helped me believe even more in myself and that I am the coach, women are looking for.

Group coaching allows you to learn alongside other women who are wanting to achieve the same things as yourself. Now you may have different paths that got you here, but you are all wanting to become who you want to be, and stop being who society has told you, you should be.

One-on-One coaching is your opportunity to focus on yourself - your goals, your dreams, your aspirations. I know from my own experience of group breathwork, I didn't get a deep, transformative experience because I was scared of what was happening to others and I didn't want to impact on someone else's experience, however when I was able to experience 1-1 uninterrupted guided breathwork, I could fully release, fully let go and experience what I missed out in the group setting.

It's important to do the right modalities for you. Most of my weight is trauma and not living in alignment. Years of yo-yo dieting my mum trying the latest fads and lasting for only a week. Years of no support, broken promises and staying stuck, stagnant and believing nothing could change.

As a mother now, it is so important that I am a role model for my son, that I am around for him for a long time and active in his life, not just watching from the sidelines.

Today, I want you to chose you, 1 decision that is for you, your happiness, your joy, your contentment, that helps you feel like the woman you want to be. Now most people expect you to figure this out for yourself - but my experience shows that often we need a bit of direction. Now some of these things wont interest you, but others give them a try, trial and error will help give you the combination you need for your success.
