All RetreatsGrowing up, I often felt lost, labeled as ‘highly strung,’ and overwhelmed by powerful emotions I couldn’t control. As a teenager, I faced wild mood swings, anxiety that left me frozen, and bouts of deep depression. Eventually, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Years of trying to find answers in the psychiatric system and relying on medication left me feeling numb. The turning point in my life came unexpectedly when I stumbled upon meditation while in a psychiatric hospital.

That moment changed everything. For the first time, I began to see myself not as a victim of my diagnosis but as someone with the power to create change. From there, I dove into learning everything I could—meditation, mindfulness, NLP, and hypnotherapy. I started connecting with incredible people, a community of those who saw challenges as opportunities for growth. It was inspiring, and I thought, “I want that mindset, too.” I practised, stumbled, and tried again, gradually finding a sense of happiness and resilience that I never thought possible.

Then, life threw me an unforgettable wake-up call—a near-death experience that landed me in ICU, on a ventilator, and facing my worst fears. It was terrifying, yet everything I had learned over the years gave me the strength to survive and recover. That experience taught me one undeniable truth: life is a precious gift, and we have the power to make it extraordinary.

Why I Created Ecopsia
I realised how few of us are taught these life-changing tools and how often we’re left to figure it all out alone. After years of learning, healing, and growing, I felt an incredible urge to give back, to create a space for others on their journey of self-discovery. That’s why I founded Ecopsia—a sanctuary for women seeking to reconnect with themselves, embrace their inner strength, and live life with purpose and peace.
