Isabelle's Story

Line Break

First, I would love to tell you a little bit about myself, I am a mum with two beautiful children aged 12 and 15. I have been meditating for over 25 years and started practising mindfulness after completing a Mindfulness-Integrated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MiCBT) program 11 years ago.

Like a lot of children, I suffered low self-esteem and low self-image issues. In my early 20’s I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and was suffering from underlying anxiety. This was a very difficult time for myself and my family. 

Whilst in hospital I became drawn to reading self-help books such as Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, White Eagle by E. H. White as well as reading my first Louise Hay book You Can Heal Your Life... and it was here my spiritual journey began and my eyes began to truly open. After making a full recovery, I then decided I wanted to embark on a career helping others heal their body, mind and spirit, so I enrolled into College and completed a Diploma in Energetic Healing. It was whilst I was studying this amazing course I discovered the healing powers of meditation and the positive impact it had on the mind, body and spirit. 

After receiving my Diploma I went on to explore Transcendental Meditation, attended regular retreats as well as weekly groups and this became my daily practice without fail. Every day I committed to sitting for twenty minutes twice a day to rest my mind and calm my body and spirit and it was indeed the greatest act of self-care and self-love. I had decided that meditation time was non-negotiable and it was as important as brushing my teeth and nourishing my body with healthy foods. Meditation was such a healing gift in my life and I was incredibly grateful. 

In my mid 30’s after having my 1st child River, I then began to struggle with anxiety again as well as insomnia. I was very reluctant to see a Psychologist, but, making this big decision changed the course of my life forever. In my sessions, she introduced me to MINDFULNESS of which made a hugely significant impact on my mental health transforming my life in every way. After completing an 8-week Mindfulness-Integrated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MiCBT) Program my life changed direction and I saw the world through a whole new lens. I discovered that I was no longer my thoughts, and I had the tools to manage my mind at any moment... This was so empowering and a huge game-changer. I developed the ability to live in the present moment, increase my self-awareness, learn to observe my thoughts without judgement, as well as self-compassion. I am forever grateful that I am now able to share these tools with the world.

 

In 2021 Isabelle is currently curating a new Mindfulness Program developed specifically for mums to help manage stress, overwhelming feelings and anxiety.
