I immediately fell in love with Sydney. It is truly a beautiful city, perfectly set on a coastal basin of the Pacific Ocean – my vision of many years was realised! I explored my new surroundings by backpack and quickly found work and sponsorship. I remain forever grateful for this opportunity and new beginning.

For over a decade, I worked (again) in a corporate setting but continued my alternative studies in hypnosis, quantum physics, energy and natural healing modalities such as Reiki. During this time, I fell in love and married a kind and loving man who supported me throughout. Once again, I attained what could be considered success by any measure – a well-paying career position and a happy marriage.

Still, something inside was not quite right and I eventually realized this karmic cycle was repeating – had I deviated from the real reason I was in Australia? The stress from the corporate life was affecting my health.

Then, my second child was born premature and suffered from health problems. Other unsettling things were happening as well, and they all carried the same message… I was not listening and needed to follow what I was meant to do.
