You deserve to shine
Through Women Shining, I work with women in group workshops in Australia and Italy, as well as in 1:1 online sessions to help them on their own self-discovery journeys.
There must be more to life.
I’m tired of pleasing everyone but me!
I want to feel more fulfilled.
These are common phrases women have shared with me since I started sharing my journey of self-discovery online, in workshops and in my personal life. Do they sound familiar to you? They certainly did to me.
Women Shining is a manifestation of the events that have transpired and the lessons I’ve learned in my own life.
By my mid-50s, as a wife and mother, I found myself in a place where I was disconnected with myself, living everyone else’s dreams but my own.
I started using spiritual and creative practices as a way to reduce the stress in my daily life, to invite more peace and calm in.
Through that quiet place I found within, I inadvertently started on a journey of self-discovery. In that quiet place within, I found I could finally hear my deepest self and desires.
From then on, things changed in my life:
I started meditating, connecting with the quiet within
I became aware of my dissatisfaction and disconnection
I found new spiritual practices and mentors
I started writing again
I started making art for the first time in my life (at 56!)
I wrote and illustrated a mindfulness book for children and adults; we’ve sold over 2,000 copies worldwide
I created a business around mindfulness, women and children
I started hosting creative self-discovery workshops for women
Personally:
I left a long-term marriage and explored life on my own
I became my focus after years of ignoring my needs and goals
I moved to Italy part-time
I now feel ready and able to shine in my own life
I discovered that these creative, spiritual and mindful practices connected me very deeply with myself, giving me the courage to create a life that was more a reflection of myself, that’s made me infinitely happier.
Now I find myself splitting my time between Italy and Australia, surrounded by new and old friends and family living a life I truly love.
Through Women Shining, I work with women just like you, to support them through their self-discovery journeys. I offer 1:1 online sessions and group creativity and mindfulness workshops in Australia and Italy.
