I am a free-spirited, super-chilled Aussie, who comes from a big Lebanese family. I have always been obsessed with babies so when I was 18, I wanted to become a midwife. When that didn’t end up happening due to my grades, I worked in a daycare center for a short period of time till I went to university to study nutrition and dietetics for 6 years. I also worked in various hospitality settings including being a cook in a daycare center for 3 years.

Before I moved to London in 2020, I lost one of my jobs within the hospitality industry and became involved in the s*x industry. I first began in Australia, then when I moved to London, I continued for four years. During this time I learnt so much about myself. I disconnected from my body so much to be able to do my work. I had to be in my masculinity to be able to have control and to ensure I was safe from the men who stepped into my house. However, once I met men who showed me what true intimacy and connection actually felt like, I couldn’t keep doing this to myself. I was longing and craving deep connection that I never received through this exchange of money. Money became less valued to me and connection and belonging came to the forefront. During this time I also learnt how to set and express boundaries. If I didn’t, I would get hurt as I was always being vulnerable, which is risky. Other aspects I worked on during this time were my internalized misogyny, the shame that I was carrying through years of conditioning within my family and becoming my own parent. I do not regret that part of my life as I wouldn’t be where I am today without going through it. I also realized what every human being truly desires and needs, even when they don’t know it themselves, is true connection, love and belonging. Without it, we wouldn’t survive. This is why this industry will always exist.

Since leaving the industry in 2023, I have been on one hell of a journey of reclaiming back my power and freedom. Power and freedom for me includes being able to feel safe to feel and connect to my body, expressing my authenticity and truth, whilst also being messy, vulnerable and completely ok with who I am, integrating the shadows I had such as “the good girl” mask. I could tell you so much more about this part of my life but I will leave it here for now.

I also started to hear about the term Doula. When I went back to Australia after London and Europe, I went to a Vipassana retreat for 10 days and met a midwife. After we were able to speak with each other on the 10th day, she came up to me and said that I should become a midwife as I have a great energy to work with expectant mothers. This and another few signs affirmed that this path was always meant for me.

I thought I would completely focus on living as a Nomad for another 3 years then become a doula afterwards. However, I felt like something was missing in my life, which was my purpose. So, when a scholarship opportunity came up with Bebo Mia to do their full spectrum training whilst I was travelling in Mexico last year, I took it as an opportunity to apply. When they emailed me and told me I was accepted into their training, it was a huge ‘Fuck Yes’ moment. I am so excited to work with and support women and parents

• In their transformational journeys.

• In connecting to their body’s natural intelligence system, their homes.

• In reawakening what has been hidden deep inside.

• In building trust and feeling safe within their bodies.

• In becoming authentic beings, feeling their Eros, their aliveness.

• In becoming sovereign, having autonomy over everything they do and all the decisions they make.
