About Me
The person behind The Stillpoint
My journey began during Covid.
Like so many people, I found myself trying to keep everything together while quietly falling apart inside.
I was burnt out, overwhelmed and caught in unhealthy habits and addictions that had become ways of coping rather than living. I wasn't really enjoying life. I was getting through each day, doing what needed to be done and trying to survive.
Somewhere along the way, I'd lost that connection with myself.
And I knew something needed to change.
That's when I discovered meditation and breathwork.
At first, it wasn't about finding inner peace or changing my life. I simply needed something that would help me slow down, quieten my mind and feel a little more in control.
But something started to shift.
I began to realise how much of my life I'd spent either looking backwards, thinking about things I couldn't change, or looking forwards, worrying about things that hadn't even happened.
I was rarely just here, in the moment I was actually living.
Through meditation, breathwork and learning to listen to myself, I started to understand that I didn't have to believe every thought, react to every feeling or carry everything all at once.
I could pause.
I could breathe.
I could choose how I responded.
And gradually, I began finding my way back to myself.
That journey became the beginning of The Stillpoint.
I'm not a scientist, and I won't pretend to have all the answers. But I am someone who has lived through difficult times, learnt from them and discovered how powerful the simplest moments of stillness can be.
I've learnt to trust my intuition, listen more closely and recognise when something doesn't feel right. Alongside my training and experience, that understanding has helped me support others who are struggling with stress, overwhelm and the pressures of everyday life.
I don't wake up every morning feeling perfectly balanced.
I still have difficult days. I still overthink sometimes. I still have to remind myself to slow down and practise the very things I share with others.
But the difference now is that I know how to try.
I know that a difficult day doesn't have to become a difficult week. I know that I can acknowledge what's happened without living in the past, and I can plan for tomorrow without spending today worrying about it.
And I've learnt that peace doesn't mean everything in life is going right.
Sometimes, it simply means being able to sit with where you are, without feeling the need to escape from it.
That's what I want The Stillpoint to offer others.
Whether it's through a Japanese Head Spa, guided meditation, sound bath or another restorative experience, my intention is always the same: to give people the opportunity to step away from the noise, reconnect with themselves and experience what it feels like to slow down.
Not to fix everything in one session.
Not to promise a perfect life.
But to help you discover that even when life feels overwhelming, there can still be moments of calm.
Because I haven't mastered life. I've simply learnt that I don't have to lose myself in it.
And if I can help someone else discover that, then The Stillpoint is doing exactly what I created it to do.
