The Rise UP Women’s Resilience Program is for women who have been navigating a challenging period of time, grief or loss and need to a step step pathway to help transform overwhelm, brain fog, grief or loss into clarity, confidence and courage.

• It’s for women who feel depleted, lost or overwhelmed whilst wading through grief and life’s setbacks.
• It’s for women who have found counselling or psychological care helpful- but are tired of telling the same story in the circular dusty path.
• It’s for women who have been on the emotional rollercoaster of grief or depletion for too long, and need to start prioritising themselves.
• It’s for women who would LOVE to transform their journey into resilience, clarity, courage and confidence.
• It’s for women who have reached a crossroads and know they need to make a change, but just don’t know where to begin.

Loss and life setbacks for women show up in many faces and forms. Family breakdowns, career loss, grief, relationships, financial or health challenges….

Suddenly your life has a hole. A gap. A void. Something that was supposed to be there, but isn’t. Perhaps it’s a hope, a dream, a relationship, a job, a person, an experience. Perhaps it’s a life you thought you’d have.

Like a journey without a map, there seems no clear way to navigate the stormy waters of life setbacks or loss.

• We’re doing our best to hold it together, hanging on by a thread.
• Giving into everyone's needs, leaving ours last on the list.
• Putting on a brave face, to cover the fatigue

Rise UP was developed and evolved from my own personal journey through grief with the loss of our son Baxter. I found myself transformed from a happy confident woman who was running my own successful physiotherapy and teaching business, to an empty shell of my former self.

I recall feeling lost at sea without a life raft or support crew in sight. My health was affected, my brain and memory were affected, and my life felt like a tipped-out jigsaw puzzle and I didn't even know where to start to piece it back together.

I lost all confidence and trust within myself, became anxious, depleted and overwhelmed as I tried to carry the weight of grief. I ruminated for months with the self-blame internal dialogue “if only…”.

• If only…. I done something differently. Said something differently.
• If only I’d changed this decision. Chosen a different path.
• If only I’d tried harder. Spoken up. Listened to my heart. Trusted my intuition.
• If only….

The self blame dialogue that can quickly cascade into I’m not worthy, of happiness, love, joy or connection.

It was during this time I came across a Dr Demartini quote that read: “Whatever you have or have not done you are worthy of love”

Something shifted and I knew I needed to make a change.

I realised I had spent so many years looking after everybody else’s health, yet had no idea how to start looking after my own or prioritising me. I was depleted, overwhelmed, held self- blame and lacked any kind of motivation. I’d lost all direction.

It was at this crossroads I knew I needed to make a change. To a step in a different direction. To start new steps in order to start living my life rather than just surviving my life.

So I re-trained.

Using my passion for women’s health and my physiotherapy qualifications I also expanded to have a better understanding of grief, mind health, mindset, stress management, and motivation.

I searched the world over to help myself with courses, workshops and training to better understand my own mind health and to help myself move forward. This included walking on hot coals at a Tony Robbins event (yikes!) to qualifications as a mindfulness meditation teacher and the Dr Demartini facilitator training program.

Grief has so many faces and forms for women.

• Relationship breakdowns, health problems, separation, career changes, loss.
• Giving too much and life wearing thin.
• Life tipped upside down and just not turning out as planned.

It can feel dark. It can feel lonely. It can feel like you’re simply treading water and no one on this earth understands.

Although our stories will be different, our pathways and steps toward navigating with resilience will be the same.
