My main mantra is, “Reality is only but a perception of my mind; change your perspective, change your life”.

 

Everyone’s relationship with their self-care is unique. We have all grown up in different environments—culture, morals, beliefs, attachment styles, and parenting. And so, how self-care looks will be different to everyone.

​

My relationship with self-care became prominent as I approached forty. It was a lengthy process, punctuated by a mix of eureka moments stemming from learning to be more conscious and aware of my triggers, attachment tendencies, self-regulation, unhelpful coping mechanisms, accountability for my actions, and academia. Perfectionism became my enemy. A few years after my son was born, I experienced burnout in all aspects of my life and was extremely hypervigilant in my romantic relationships following my infidelity. My life underwent a series of events that compelled me to review motherhood, infidelity, divorce, jobs, and core beliefs. Our self-care is not merely about the surface-level approach of going to a spa once a month; it delves much deeper than that. The quality of our self-care forms the foundation for how fulfilled we feel in our daily lives and enhances our ability to show love to ourselves.

​

My vision is to support you in your journey of discovering and evaluating your own self-care, peeling back the sources of your stress, anxiety, depression, people-pleasing tendencies, avoidance, and fear of abandonment. This process is not easy, and the nirvana of inner stillness will demand your perseverance and awareness, as you come to realise how your actions can sabotage your progress and how to change that behaviour.

 

“Nothing changes if nothing changes”.

​

One of the things that brings me fulfilment is working with women who, like me, have experienced domestic violence, domestic abuse, and abandonment issues. The conditioning we learnt in our childhood has shaped our attachment style, which, depending on whether it is secure or insecure, could negatively impact our relationships. Circle Sound’s women's circles are spaces that help individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and promote positive changes within their inner world.

​

My vision for Circle Sounds is to integrate the study of psychology and astrology in my practice. Understanding human behaviour is a key aspect that I want to continue pursuing. I aim to continue to collaborate with people who have gone through similar discovery with their practice – Yoga teachers, astrologers, coaches, homeopathy, professional therapists, reiki healers, shamanic healers, art therapy and so forth. All different forms of approach to self-care.  

​

My self-care non-negotiables:

• Talk Therapy

• More focused self-care a week prior to my cycle – Yoga, kirtan, mindfulness practice, physical exercise (running, time in nature)

• Dedicated time alone, unplugged from social media

May your sound journey with me give you a feeling of harmony and clarity.
