I'm glad you're taking the time to get to know the person you might trust with one of the most valuable aspects of your physical make-up: your mind. 

So, who am I? I am from a small town in New Zealand called Coromandel, and over the years, I have lived in multiple locations within New Zealand. However, I have now settled with my family in Bell Block, a suburb of New Plymouth, Taranaki. We love it here. We miss the white beaches and the fishing of the Coromandel, but New Plymouth is such a beautiful City and has everything we need; we are grateful to call it home. 

My husband and I own and operate a Flooring store, Jupp Flooring, in Waitara, and between this and our amazing daughter, I can honestly say my life can be super busy, not to mention the time it takes to deal with a disease like MS. Now as if I wasn't busy enough, I'm embarking on the journey to digitalise my work on mindset and self-growth, establishing an energy balance to help people on a larger scale, it's my passion, and I can't let it go. 

Yes, MS can be a real drag.

 I saw a t-shirt once that said, "MS gets on my nerves" I still giggle, and another ", I'm not drunk, I have MS."

It is a shitty disease, and I send anyone who is suffering from it my love, but full warning, I love to take lemons and make lemonade. It can be triggering for some. 

If you're unfamiliar with MS, it occurs when your Immune System attacks the coating around your nervous system, creating misfiring signals, leaving damaged pathways and disrupting body functions. MS has two forms. The first type is characterised by relapses or attacks, which can bring on or worsen existing symptoms or trigger the onset of new ones. The other option is being progressive, which means you steadily get worse. There are many theories about what causes it, from a milk allergy and head injury to some virus strains being linked (all of which I had), or even some say a spiritual reason is feeling abandoned, but ultimately, it can be devastating. 

Part of the problem is that no two cases are the same. It depends on what area of the brain or spinal cord is damaged as to what the issues are. (All my interpretations, and I am far from a doctor) 

Over the years, I have had different issues; I have always been referred to as "sickly" from an early age. Retrospectively, there were some indicators, but it is a tough disease to diagnose.

My first major attack occurred with my eyes, causing the feeling of Vertigo all the time. The Second major attack was bad; someone with years in the field of MS expressed her opinion as "she didn't know it could get that bad". I lost use of my right side, my face was half frozen, my right arm was gone entirely and half the function of my right leg. I could not swallow or talk properly, and weeing became an issue, not to mention the 10/10 Nerve pain in my back, which felt like burning (you know when you burn yourself and the stinging feeling when it hits the air) in my whole spinal cord. 

During this Relapse, the brain damage was so severe that my internal dialogue, "the things you think," shut down, it stopped working, and I had complete internal silence for three whole months. During this time, I functioned well enough in day-to-day life, but when my thinking returned, I started my mission. I had some big questions that needed answering: "How did I function?" "How did I not die?" "Can you live and not think?" I knew it was better, more peaceful, but I couldn't explain it. I studied everything I could, including Hypnotherapy, completed my Reiki Masters, Past Life Regression, spiritual and hypnotherapist style, Energy healing, Colour Therapy, Meridian Energy Therapy, Distance Healing, Sound Therapy, Crystal Healing, Yoga Instructor, Meditation Coach, Chakras Therapy, Tai Chi, Phycic Medianship, Somatic Energies, Orcle reading as well as tarot, psychic and mediumship and I was already accredited to teach Access Bars and perform injury healings. I felt I had cracked it and was eager to help others who were struggling like I was. 

I reached out to people, I had an app, I started groups, and I tried with every fibre of my being to help. Then, life got in the way - for the better, always. When we're in it, it can feel like the world is against us, though. 

You can't help but experience what I have, and at least dip your toe into other possibilities. I am open to everything; I just learnt how to trust my energy and filter what needs filtering. 

Now, I have a different title: I am a Mindset Mentor. 

I figured out a few things: We are not our thoughts. We are our energy, and depending on how we treat or use it, this energy creates our reality. 

It seems like a lot, but I simplify it into digestible sequences that are easier to understand in my self growth. 

We should not spend all our time feeding energy to our thoughts, as this creates an imbalance in the body. In turn, the body creates a situation where you have to listen, typically when you are ill, injured, or in pain. 

When things occur in our lives, if we start to see everything as a possible self-growth opportunity and use it as if the universe has put it there for us to learn, our whole lives can change more than we realise.

I can now say that from the outside, it seems I have no physical issues; on the inside, I manage them well. The Symptoms are still there, but have reduced compared to what they were years ago. The scarring on my brain has diminished, and I am a happy camper. Now, the mission is at hand. 

I want to help people, I don't want a following as such, I want aware, supportive members who are driven by bettering themselves in a raw, open, and loving way. I want to teach people to find answers for themselves rather than relying on me as a feel-good drug. I'm not interested in coaching you to train for a race. I want to create a lasting connection that helps you discover who you are and what you're meant to do in life finding your purpose.
