SIX YEARS CLEAN & SOBER 🤍
Today marks six years clean and sober.
Every year, I take a moment to look back. Not to live in the past, but to remember where I came from, how far I’ve travelled, and just how much can change when you keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Six years ago, I was losing everything. I was losing my children, my mental health, myself. There was a time when I wasn’t allowed to be anywhere near my children, and a time when I genuinely didn’t want to be here anymore.
And then, somewhere along the way, I found movement.
I found yoga. I found my breath. I found a way back to myself.
Since then, I’ve completed my Yoga Teacher Training, Pilates Teacher Training, Barre Training, Holotropic Breathwork Therapy Training and Reformer Pilates Training and Body Awakening Facilitator training. All of which have helped my mental health and kept me on the right path.
I opened Serenity Yoga & Pilates, built a beautiful community around movement and wellbeing, and now, six years on, I’m preparing to open the doors to Serenity Reform — my new dedicated Reformer Pilates studio.
Something I could never have imagined when I was at my lowest.
It hasn’t all been easy. Along the way there have been two eye surgeries and skin cancer twice on my face. I carry marks, wounds and scars — but to me, they are reminders of what my body and I have survived.
And today, six years later, I can look around at a healthy, happy family, my children beside me, two studios, work that I love, and most importantly, a life that I’m actually present for.
Recovery didn’t just give me my old life back.
It gave me the chance to build a completely new one.
So today I’m looking back, shedding a little light on the darker parts, and feeling incredibly grateful for how far I’ve come.
And if you’re reading this from somewhere that feels impossible to get out of, please know that things really can change.
Reach out. Talk to somebody. Ask for help. Keep going.
One day at a time. 🤍
Six years. Clean. Sober. Here. 🙏
