MY STORY

Born and raised in New Zealand by two incredible parents who shaped my life in profoundly different ways.

From one, I inherited the spirit of adventure & entrepreneurship — the courage to explore and to take chances. From the other, I learned the beauty of spirituality & the inner world — a persevering heart, & the power of living with trust, no matter what life brings.

Greatest teachers

Early in life I navigated difficult lessons that became my greatest teachers. Through my teenage years & into adulthood, I was living with a deep ache of not being enough — manifesting as a fractured relationship with my body, addiction & substance abuse. For almost two decades, I carried that pain quietly — keeping up the appearance of a "normal" life on the outside. It's a story that is both deeply personal & universal.

The Shift

Then one day, something was revealed. The anxiety, depression & fear that had been so loud suddenly went quiet. In that stillness, I became aware of something deeper — a part of me that was untouched by all of it. For the first time, I felt a genuine sense of peace from within. That simple moment was the beginning of a long journey back to myself — one that continues to this day.

The Gift

I understand that moment now as a gift of loving awareness. Years later, aimsinlove was born — a space to share, to inspire, & help remind others that no matter how lost we feel, the path home is always within.
