I stopped obsessing over the healing so I could start mastering the living.

I've been a PE teacher, a ski instructor and a homeopath for 17 years.

I've spent my whole life helping people go further than they thought they could. Today I live in Provence, where I'm a life expansion expert guiding women over 50 to reclaim their joy, vitality and spark.

I teach this because I lived it.

I was

In 1994, I left France for Australia to follow my heart.
I was a freedom-driven rebel, a passionate ski instructor who always wanted more from life.

Then I became a wife, a mother, a homeopath who cared for everyone but herself. Little by little, I chose safety: the calm suburb, the predictable days, the "Aussie model" I was trying so hard to fit. I was pleasing everyone and secretly longing to be seen.

From the outside, I had it all. Inside, I felt empty. Contracted. Dead inside, and that scared me.

Then a breast cancer diagnosis stopped everything. In that silence, two questions rose up:

What happened to my life? Where did I go?

I did

I decided I would no longer be a victim of my circumstances.

I got curious, and I got hungry. I learned from mentors and masters, and I looked at life from a creator's perspective.

I wrote a chapter in 3 multi-author books in 2 years, 

I found the wild woman in me. I followed the moon, learned ancient rituals and began pulling an oracle card every day. I studied the Gene Keys, spent two years in shamanic study, and let my intuition run wild.

I learned to meet my shadows and my self-sabotage with respect instead of shame. I fell off the wagon many times, and every time I found my way back. I had promised myself I would never abandon myself again.

And that promise asked something of me.

I will always be grateful for the life I built with my husband. It gave me a home, a family, and years of love. But when our son left home, we found ourselves wanting to go in different directions.

I knew that staying would keep me small, because I wanted more from life.

Closing that chapter was the hardest and most courageous thing I have ever done. I was leaving everything that represented safety. I grieved, and I doubted. I chose to honor what we had and to complete it with love.

I didn't only heal my body. I healed my mind, my soul, and I reconnected with my spirit.

And now...

I built a whole new life from the ground up, and I'm in love with it. I'm in my 60s, independent, free and more alive than I've ever been. I no longer try to fit in. I shine my light, fearless, bright and true.It’s a renaissance in a new paradigm of life.

What's easier now?

Everything that used to throw me. I move through hard times with ease and grace. I stay serene instead of panicking or reacting. I trust my inner wisdom, and I know that anything is possible when your spirit is alive. 

And you?

You've spent years giving to the world.
Maybe you're inspired by other women's stories but wonder if you're allowed to write your own. You are, and it starts today, not tomorrow.

I'm here to walk beside you as you reclaim your fire and shine your light with ease, flow and grace.

With love, Annabelle
