ABOUT THE FOUNDER OF WWM

Hey fam! It's me! This is the page where I'm supposed to sit here and tell you how amazing I am... And I am! I am super amazing, but I'm a seriously chaotic hot mess! And I am just like you. I am human.  

If you have 10 minutes and want to hear about my life, where I have been, where I'm going, (said in a Forrest Gump voice) and what makes me happy, and why I feel I am able to teach you a thing or two... Grab a cuppa, and have a read.  
 

Let's start with the things that make me happy, and the basics.  

I am a proud earth mother of my two sons, Wolf (4) and Forrest (1), I am married to my first ever boyfriend that I met when i was 12! (Aint that a wilde story) I live in my home "WILDE" in Tamborine QLD, AUS.  My best friends are my mum & sister. (Very lucky I know right) 

I love animals, (rabbits the most), chocolate, anything art, creative, spiritual, waterfalls,  slim shady, muscle cars, wide open spaces and the circus.  

We can blame my airy 7 personalities on my Gemini birthday (all of which are legends btw) but they range from homeless hood rat, through to girl George who rocks dresses and heels, through to Russian gypsy and sometimes I look like a hot Russell Coit... not ideal. But I rock the shit out of all of them!
 

My career... I have loved dance & music for as long as I have been alive, I grew up with my single mum and siblings in a little cottage in some nowhere town, and I used to make performances up and make mum sit down and watch, no matter how shitty they were, my amazing mother would always clap... and I think that's where a lot of my confidence and true self belief came from, another story for another day. ANYWAY. We couldn’t afford for me to go to proper dance training. Whatever my mum could do, she did, but in the dance world, that doesn’t quite cut it. 

 
She bought me books from the op shop about dance, and I read and taught myself. My mum put me into a dance school for 12 months called “Wild Child” and they were doing the whole RAD exams etc, but we couldn’t afford that, I got to do two classes back to back one night a week. (My mum and baby sister would wait in our clapped out hippy van and read books and wait for me, because we didn’t have the fuel money to just come back for me later) After 12 months, as most businesses, the fees went up, and that was it for me. Plus. Me and my mum weren't cut out for the bitchy nasty dance mum vibes.

  
I went to a ghetto high school called Beenleigh SHS (4207, yeah I just saw you smile) my greatest blessing was my dance teacher Mrs Nathan. She deeply believed in me and with her support, I was able to drop compulsory classes to do more dance.  

This progressed to me moving to the UK at the age of 18 on a one-way ticket to "become a professional dancer"  

I learnt pretty quickly I was a big fish in a small pond where I came from, and amongst the classically trained, dedicated, and financially supported dancers in London... I was then in a VERY big pond, and I sucked!  

So I adapted. I ran out of money, I ran out of auditions, I was homesick, young and had 0 idea what I was doing with my life. Then on one of my cute podium gigs in some dank nightclub in London, I saw this stunning girl breathing fire.. In the club! I had never seen anything like that before (again, small fish from the ghetto)  
I hit her up after she finished that night and asked her if it was hard and how much money she makes (classy I know).

So I went to the lanes in Brighton and bought some fire tools, some fuel, and taught myself how to breathe fire on the deck of my english boyfriends verandah. And that was the beginning of a very beautiful career that gave me endless opportunities.

  
Its been done to death now, but at the time, there wasn’t many girls rocking around in their next to nothings breathing fire!  
Where did it take me? Should I name drop? Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it, RIHANNA. WILL.I.AM. DAVID GUETTA. TIESTO. TINIE TEMPAH. SPAIN. PARIS. AFRICA. Ok ok shut up.  

Its been a huge journey, and I came home to build my own entertainment companies, that held down huge contracts in Sydney, and owned my own successful dance Studios in both Newcastle & Brisbane.
So yeah... that’s why I think I can teach you how to perform with confidence, dance like no one is watching and truly believe in yourself.  

However, there's a darker side to that successful story, drugs, partying, illness, horrendous business choices, ill always tell you both versions.

The Self love coaching stuff...
What makes me think I am able to teach you anything when it comes to the things you talk about with a therapist...
I don’t have a piece of paper that tells me I am qualified for something.  (My beautiful sister does)
But this is what I do have.  
And if you have stuck this out so far, I am happy to share these crazy private stories with you.  

You grew up poor as fuck? Same...
You grew up in a broken home? Same
You lost a sibling? Same
You know what it feels like to blame yourself for someone's death? Same

You were an addict? Same
You have a traumatic birth story? Same
You have kids? Same
You were abused? Same
You have a lifelong illness? Same 

You got some daddy issues? Same

You going through a shitty separation and it hurts like hell? Same

Your Mother in Law hates you? Lol girl same...

This isn't a gloat story. I don’t wish these things upon anyone. BUT. Knowing what I know now, is because of these things. I am truly stronger for bearing the scars of these stories, no matter how cliché that sounds. It's true.   

I am telling you this because I can relate. I understand. I see you.  
I am not sitting behind a desk telling you what's wrong with you, I am here to tell you, me too sister. And if I can tell you about the things that help me survive these things, and maybe they can help you too., then why wouldn’t I?  I have done the work.

Countless hours of books, podcasts, therapy, self help etc. And I continue to do the god damn work.

Because happiness, self development.. is not linear.
Without realizing, this is what I have been doing for most of my “dance” career. I have taught dance, owned studios in different states of Australia, I have done workshops events, you name it. But it turns out. I teach more than dance. I teach people hope. I teach them to love themselves, forgive themselves, to forget the bullshit narrative they are always thinking about themselves. I remind you, who you are, how special you are and you deserve to be happy. 

Think of me as your "Inner Goddess confidence coach"
So... That’s my spiel!  
That’s why I feel we can help each other. If you open up to me. I got you.  

Hope your cuppa was delicious, If you made it this far. Thankyou. You got this.
