When I look into the eyes of the little girl I once was—wild blonde hair standing straight up, pure heart shining through—I feel an overwhelming wave of love. She had no idea of the journey ahead: the mountains she would climb, the pain she would carry, the light she would fight to keep alive.
Through reconnecting with her, through deep inner child healing, I realized that true strength is born from tenderness. It was in honouring her that The Awake Wellness Warrioress was born—a woman who chooses love, light, and wholeness every single day.
This is not just my story. It’s an invitation to meet the part of you that has been waiting for your love all along.
"Your light was never meant to be hidden. Not for comfort. Not for approval. Not even for fear of being ‘too much.’
You are here to shine unapologetically—boldly, brightly, beautifully.
You are here to shine unapologetically—boldly, brightly, beautifully.
When you dim your light for others, you rob the world of your magic."
It’s time to rise, radiant one.
To walk in your truth.
And to remember—you didn’t come this far to shrink… you came to shine.

In the journey of life, women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of overthinking and self-doubt, especially as they age. These concerns, stemming from societal conditioning, can leave one feeling inadequate and hesitant to take risks. However, embracing a mindset of empowerment—becoming a "warrioress" rather than a "worrier"—can lead to liberation and self-assurance.
Transitioning from the worrier to the warrioress involves acknowledging fear yet choosing faith and courage over doubt. It’s about standing resilient amid challenges, trusting one's intuition, and curating a life of purpose and strength. By integrating practices such as grounding through breath, journaling, and utilizing calming essential oils like Valor or Peace & Calming, individuals can nurture this powerful mindset shift.
As you embark on this transformative path, remember that you embody the spirit of a warrioress: brave, purposeful, and radiant. This mindset change not only uplifts your spirit but also aligns you with your true worth, reminding you that your value is not in doing more, but in living authentically and fearlessly. Embrace your inner power and continue to rise with strength and grace.

Basil, a staple herb cherished for its lush green leaves and aromatic essence, is essential for anyone passionate about cooking and health. Beyond its culinary appeal, basil is celebrated for its nutritional and medicinal benefits, traced back to ancient cultures. This versatile herb is rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and essential vitamins which support everything from gut health to stress reduction and immunity boosting.
To maximise basil's freshness, it’s important to store it correctly—avoid refrigeration as it can blacken the leaves. Instead, keep the basil in a glass of water like cut flowers or freeze it with olive oil in ice cube trays for prolonged use. When incorporating basil into dishes, tear the leaves rather than chop to prevent browning and preserve flavor, and always add them at the end of cooking to maintain their vibrant taste.
There are countless delicious ways to integrate basil into meals. Create a homemade pesto with fresh basil, olive oil, garlic, and parmesan for versatile use in pasta and sandwiches. Basil's fresh leaves also add a punch to caprese salads, pizzas, and even smoothies, while basil can be steeped in hot water for a soothing tea or incorporated into beverages for a refreshing twist. Whether used fresh, dried, or blended, basil's aromatic charm and health benefits make it an invaluable addition to any culinary repertoire.
