My experience with pain began in my childhood, living on a farm in South Africa, an adventurous 3rd child, a daughter, 2 older brothers … ,when running away from them during a game, stopped myself straight through an old fashioned glass door, resulting in acute injury and nerve damage.
A longer story short, the incident - maybe partly, setting off the shaping of who I am today. In my 20’s I sought out a diverse range of medical approaches and perspectives to alleviate what I considered a chronically faulty physical experience. With little valuable outcome, heightened by attempted surgery in my 30’s, which aggravated the original experience; I eventually “found” biomedical yoga and meditation, and in line with my particular interest in understanding at some level, ancient yoga and meditations effects in a more “scientific” and “western” evidence based way, training at the Biomedical institute of Yoga & Meditation (Biyome) in Brisbane, proved life-changing, initiating my path to now living a very manageable and mild chronic pain condition.
Hi, my name is Roxy.
Welcome to my site, boutique offering and service. It comes from a place of understanding, passion for wholistic wellbeing and authentic, honest living.
I believe in purpose - that each being is designed with unique purpose, great or small - like nature. Unlike nature, however, we do live a more complex existence, sometimes made even more so by our brilliant nervous system and consciousness. Add to this our ancient and evolving brain and body systems, still adapting to cope with the melting pot of our modern day lifestyles and the complicated space that we hold as a society in history; Perhaps the latter brushes on a possible, only singular, indicator of why 5.23 million people in Australia are expected to be living with chronic pain by 2050.
