Hi, I’m Paige
My own journey…
Looking back, a few things stand out to me as particularly meaningful:
Deciding that I didn’t need to know the full journey ahead to take the first step… in both my professional and personal life. Having the courage to take a career break and do the work.
Cultivating a loving and trusting relationship with myself. Reconnecting to my inner knowing.
Becoming a coach to guide other women through their inner work. Getting to facilitate the most incredible, life changing work.
Prioritising my physical, mental, emotional, and energetic well-being. Opting for a slower, more grounded life.
I spent my twenties buying into some conventional definition of success. I was climbing up the corporate ladder, chasing promotions and bonuses, while my own health and happiness suffered. I was disconnected from my inner knowing. The voice in my head was a mean one, nothing I did was ever good enough. I was sleep deprived, anxious, and dysregulated. I was coping through heavy substance abuse and obsessive control over my diet - habits that I’d developed as a teenager.
After years of build up and burn out, I decided that there had to be another way. I didn’t know what was next for me, but I knew that what I was doing wasn’t working, and I was ready to try another way. In 2020, I took a career break and ultimately left my corporate career. I rediscovered what life was all about. I woke up. I lived. I healed. I grew.
I laughed, I learned, I read, I played, I travelled, I moved, I found stillness.
I sat with myself and observed the flurry of constant thoughts in my head. I realised that I was really fucking mean to myself. I discovered belief systems that were keeping me stuck in a version of myself that I didn’t want to be anymore. I realised that the substance abuse and disordered eating weren’t going to go away on their own. I decided that enough was enough. I made a commitment to care for myself, forever.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have it all figured out. This work, the work, is a lifelong journey. A journey that I take day by day. But, I have learned some things that make all the difference...
I have learned that I get to choose the thoughts and beliefs that serve me and let go of the ones that do not. I have learned that my body will tell me what is working and what isn’t. I have learned to breathe; to surrender; to forgive; to tune into what I need; and to offer myself love and compassion - even (& particularly when) I am having a difficult time. I have learned to trust in myself and trust that everything is happening exactly how it is supposed to - that what is meant for me will always find me.
These days, I love my slow life - soaking up the Sydney sunshine; cooking at home to my favourite music; reading (and scrolling) in the bath; and spending as much time as I can with my husband, Andrew, and our sweet Cavoodle, Oliver.
Coaching Modalities
I completed my coaching certification in August 2021. I believe in a holistic approach and draw from multiple modalities, including:
Blending cognitive behavioural techniques with somatic practices to rewire thoughts, beliefs, emotions, actions, habits, and patterns at both the conscious and subconscious levels
Self compassion, self forgiveness, and self love
Mindfulness and meditation
Energy shifting practices including the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/“tapping”)
Breath work
Inner child and past self healing
These are evidence-based methods for creating positive, powerful, and lasting change, supported by psychology and neuroscience.
I have built my self worth, my mindset, my business - my entire life - using the methods and tools I coach with. I deeply love and believe in this work, and it is a joy and an honour to facilitate it.
If you work with me, you will always get:
Support & Guidance: I will be there for you to support you during and between our sessions. I will offer you guidance and encourage you to push outside of your comfort zone when I feel it is right for you.
A Safe Space: I will listen to you, hold space for you, maintain confidentiality, and I will never judge you.
Authenticity: I believe the world shines brighter when we all show up as ourselves, and I try to live my life as an example of that.
My Best: I will show up for you, continue to learn and grow, and be the best version that I can be for every session that we have together.
