I am a free-spirited 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.

I didn't realise how disconnected I was from my body for several years. I had to be in my masculinity to be able to have control and to feel safe. Once I began to meet people who showed me what true intimacy and connection actually felt like, I began to notice and feel into my body. I was longing and craving deep connection that I never received when I was younger. Connection and belonging became a priority. I also learnt how to set and express boundaries, integrated my shadows such as ‘the good girl’ and ‘people pleaser’, worked on my internalized misogyny, the shame that I was carrying through years of conditioning within my family and became my own parent. I also realized what every human being truly desires and needs, even when they don’t know it themselves, which is true connection, love and belonging. Without it, we wouldn’t survive. We need each other.

I continue to unlearn everything that no longer serves me and I now feel safe to be who I am, without all the masks. I keep coming back home to myself through devotion and daily practice. I nurture and tend to all parts of myself and I savor all things that feel pleasurable. Without pleasure and feeling resourced, I do not have the capacity to feel all the sensations and emotions that move through me.

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.

When I went back to Australia after being in 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 being a doula, nurturing women and families, has always been a calling for my soul.

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 and told me I was accepted into their training with a scholarship, 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 home.

• 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.
