Beth adopted her son Joey soon after he was born. She was delighted to have created her family and was enjoying parenthood.
As the adoptive parent, she was unaware of the challenges Joey was experiencing because he was adopted until he attempted suicide as a teenager.
This led both Beth and Joey on a journey of discovery, learning to put themselves first and inspiring others to explore the challenges that can come with being adopted.

Cathi was in a world of pain, struggling with every addiction you can think of – drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, stress, over-working, eating disorders etc.
When a Dr called her out, she knew her only way was to dive in and do the work.
It’s wasn’t easy but it allowed her to see that her spirituality was what she’d been blocking and now, she helps others, setting them free on their path.

Ageing’s a beautiful part of life, it’s a gift that not everyone gets. However, with ageing, our bodies slow down and our ability to repair and recover is limited.
What if we could use a scientific approach, that’s naturally available to us, so we can live a health span, not just live longer.
Regenerative and Anti-ageing Medicine is all about living healthier for longer and if we’re on this planet, how about we make our time here the healthiest possible.

2016 was my year of yes. It came about because of a phone call I had with my sister where she asked me if I wanted to do a 5km fun run. I laughed and said no.
Overnight I thought about why I said no and why I’d said no so quickly.
Sure, I hadn’t run in ages and I’d never done a fun run – never. I’d run 5km, I’d even done Couch to 5km App (not fully finishing the app but I did finish the running). So why had I said no?
I’d been a fan of Human Design for a few year, it makes sense to me and I can see how it plays out in my own life.
In late 2021, my friend Kylie Wolfig was going deep into it, doing all the courses, learning all the things, it was incredible to watch.
Kylie’s Human Design type is a Manifesting Generator, like me, so when we’re aligned to something everything can move fast and this was exactly where Kylie was at.
Efia is an incredible example of what’s possible.
After becoming an orphan at 14, struggling with mental illness and chronic pain. Then packing up her life and moving overseas to create her soul aligned life and business.
Efia embodies what it means to create life by design. Intentionally embodying who she’s becoming to magically attract what she desires most into her life.

The year was moving slowly but fast at the same time. I was deep in my studies for my upcoming exam and living each day consciously.
It was time for my next round of bloods and to take my stool sample.
My bloods were improving, with iron now at 15 – WHOO HOO, that was enough reason to party in itself. My ferritin (iron stores) had dropped from 53 to 30. 30 was the bottom of the ‘recommended GP range’ which also meant it was low for Brooke, but with my iron level rising it wasn’t something to worry about.
Once upon a time, during my post natal depression (PND), the whole ‘mundane’ life was a huge ‘hell no.’ I HATED it. I did it, but to a bare minimum.
It was funny to watch myself now, doing small loads of washing and enjoying taking the time to put it out, or doing the dishes – just to do the dishes.
I wondered, who was I? What had changed?
It had been 3 months since I’d had my blood tests done so it was time to see what was going on again.
I booked in to see my Dr to get the referral when I got back from Canberra. I spoke to my Dr about my irregular period in January and asked if we could check my hormone levels for menopause.
‘Sure.’ He said, ‘but I don’t find them reliable.’
‘Oh really?’
‘Yes, what I see are three main factors to determining if you’re in peri-menopause / menopause – is your skin dry? Are you more agitated than normal? And are you experiencing hot flashes?’
I honestly thought this would be the easiest part of my whole journey. I’ve always been pretty good at exercise if not obsessive about it and let me say obsessive means consistent, it would be part of my daily routine. Sometimes every day other times, at least, 5 times a week for a large part of my life.
Netball of course had helped, but I always knew that some netball games weren’t fitness for me, they were just games so I always made sure I did fitness, to be fit enough to play netball. That might sound stupid but, touch wood, it also means I haven’t had a major injury and in ‘netball land’ that’s pretty unheard of.
Anyway, I had a plan, starting February I was going to walk 4-5 times a week and add in some running. Netball was kicking off in mid-March, so I figured I had about 6 weeks to build some fitness. It was a no brainer.
