She’s a wild untamed woman who
has travelled many lifetimes…
Hi, I’m Shaz !
Here’s a little insight into my story…
From working in finance, to owning my own fashion and homewares business, to now living a beautiful and inspiring life of freedom and fun in my van, Venus, supporting others in their own unique life journey through my empowerment coaching and intuitive readings. When I look in the mirror today, it’s hard to believe I am the same person I used to be.
In 2024 I had just closed down my business, a significant event in my life. During my time of running the store, I took a short solo holiday in a friend’s van. Being on the road stirred something inside of me, and I felt intuitively that this was the right path and my next chapter. Closing the store was challenging, and during the process I developed adrenal fatigue, insomnia and chronic stress, which took its toll on my body, mind, spirit and soul. Once the business was closed, I let everything else go – I sold or gave away pretty much all my possessions: furniture, car, motorbike, clothes, shoes and home contents – and hit the road in my newly bought gypsy van; Venus.
It was hard at the time, but when I look back, there is always a silver lining, which has led me to the incredible life I’m living now.
I’m not a stranger to adversity…
The first time I experienced this kind of burnoutwas from spending 25 years in the corporate world in Sydney, pushing myself to meet deadlines. This led to stress and eventually chronic fatigue syndrome, leaving me unable to work, think or do anything but rest for months. After taking vitamin C intravenously, herbs, vitamins, detoxing and making dietary changes, I eventually returned to work part-time, but it took well over a year until I had significantly improved and felt my vitality coming back.
As part of my healing, I started weight training, which gave me the muscles, strength and the framework of my body that I am blessed with today.
Prior to this I was unaware of the power of my body and would use my sexuality to gain men’s attention, stepping into a series of unconscious and unhealthy relationships that became detrimental to my physical, mental and spiritual health.
To rewind a little…
At the age of 9 my father passed away unexpectedly. This resulted in low self-esteem, which was exacerbated by bullying at school. I was unhappy, lonely and troubled and in and out of counseling.
As I got older and started dating, I found myself forming unhealthy codependent relationships with older men. From the companionship I was seeking, I ended up in two long-term relationships with older men.
I was unaware of this wound around my father that I was carrying. I had no idea back then that I was looking for a father figure and so overlooked traits of manipulation and control that eventually created a lot of unhappiness within me (and a lawsuit—twice!).
Although I never admitted it before, I used to feel ashamed being with these older men. Eventually these suppressed emotions manifested as autoimmune diseases—chronic fatigue syndrome, vertigo phases, Meniere’s disease, headaches, migraines and more.
Growth pushed me to accept being uncomfortable.
I left these relationships, faced my shadows, and started forcing myself to go to classes and events that interested me on my own. Over time my inner confidence and power grew, and I healed my body.
From being introverted and sitting
quietly with minimal interaction with others, I now thrive on meeting new people and exploring new places. I’ve learnt how to embrace adversity in its darkest forms whilst always believing in the light and staying optimistic.
I now live an unconventional life according to societal standards but an incredibly happy one.
I don’t watch tv or listen to the radio.
I’m fit, healthy and active and eat mostly unprocessed organic foods, toxin-free, and no pharmaceuticals, and use natural remedies. You’ll most often find me outdoors.
I know how it feels to live a life that does not light you up, which is why I’ve become so committed to helping others step into their fears, be ok with being uncomfortable and finding their inner
strength and light.
