Turning 40 and feeling...

fabulous! What a contrast to 10 years ago when I celebrated my 30th birthday. 

The birthday bash that my friends threw me to usher in a new birth year was the best ever - they planned, rehearsed (there was a surprise dance item by 10 of the males in our group) and celebrated big style with lots of laughter, love and kindness! 


But pain laced the celebration because at that time, my marriage was in shambles and my carefully constructed happy facade was melting. My friends sensed my pain yet respected my reluctance to talk. So they threw me the love-filled celebration to hopefully offer a distraction and respite. 


The years that followed were dark ones. Broke and in debt, heart ache from a subsequent failed relationship, self-confidence shredded.... sure felt like a complete failure. But I continued with my healing journey with the hope that life will be different and be the one that I dream about. I attended courses, read even more, self-reflected, went for healing sessions and did self-healing and whenever I grew weary and tired (and self-pity overwhelmed me), I recharged from the supportive strength of my family and friends and bask in the embrace of God. Step by step, part by part, patience layered with patience... life transformed. 

Today, I am living the life I dreamt about and that's why, each birthday is an appreciation of how life can truly change for the better. 

And my dearest wish is that if anyone is facing a dark night, may he or she too, be able to bask in the warmth of sunshine and enjoy a changed life.

Recharge and Energise Your Child



For several years of my life, one of my roles was that of a family life educator and I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with parents during the parenting workshops that I conducted. The two concerns that surface again and again is that of (1) how to nurture their child's potential and (2) how to enhance their child's well-being. 

At that time, I was not trained yet in energy modalities and as such, I could only offer suggestions and insights which focused on concern #1. 

Now, I have other tools in my toolbox, I have developed the Recharge and Energise Your Child Workshop to equip parents with tools and strategies to address both concerns!
