My Story, rising from the ashes
For years I lived the dream many would aspire too, as I worked as an art director in London, immersed in the fast-paced world of creativity and design. Yet beneath the surface of my outward success, I was locked in a private and mostly silent battle. I struggled with the debilitating effects of endometriosis, a condition that went undiagnosed for three painful years. The symptoms took a toll on my body and my mental and emotin, and the lack of answers from the medical system left me feeling unheard, powerless, and exhausted.
By the time I received my diagnosis, my body had endured three surgeries. Each operation felt like a small piece of me was being taken away, yet my healing never truly began. I reached a breaking point and realised that if I wanted to heal, I needed to step outside the framework I had always trusted and take my healing into my own hands.
In 2014, I made a bold decision to leave London, my career, and the life I had built behind. I moved away from the chaos to embark on a path of self-healing and deep transformation. It was not an easy choice—it felt like walking away from everything I thought defined me—but it was necessary.
My journey took me into the heart of holistic therapies. I immersed myself in the study of womb healing, plant medicine, yoga, and shamanic practices. I trained in tools and modalities that not only healed me but empowered me to help others do the same. Over the years, I became a teacher of Shamanic Reiki, travelling the world to share this powerful practice with others. It brought me immense joy to witness people reclaiming their own healing journeys.
But life had more to teach me.
In 2020, I experienced one of the most heart-wrenching losses of my life—a traumatic miscarriage. The grief was unlike anything I had faced before. It forced me to pause, to let go of everything I had built, and to surrender completely. I experienced what I can only describe as a metaphysical death. The version of me that existed before this loss dissolved, and I was left with ashes.
Yet, in the ashes, I found my greatest gift: the opportunity to be reborn.
The journey was not linear or simple, but I began to transform my grief into something meaningful. Music became my outlet for processing the pain, and in 2023, I released an album—a testament to the beauty that can emerge from heartbreak. Through this rebirth, I came to truly understand the depth of healing, not just in the body but in the mind, heart, and spirit.
Now, I am ready to take everything I have learned and offer it back to the world. I know firsthand what it feels like to be lost in pain, to feel disempowered by systems that don’t see or hear you, and to question whether you will ever feel whole again. I also know what it feels like to rise—to reclaim your power, to heal not only the wounds of your body but the wounds of your soul, and to create a life rooted in purpose and joy.
This is why I created Phoenix Rose.
