A State of Mind Studio has been created, not as a brand but as a sanctuary to those walking their own physical and emotional journey, it is here to support as many as possible to find...
Release, Restoration and Reconnection
Over a decade ago, I was diagnosed with both PTSD and PMDD, at the time, these words felt heavy, confusing and extremely hard to accept.
In truth, their roots had been growing for much longer than 10 years, due to the echoes of deep, unresolved trauma, quietly shaping the world beneath my surface...
At the time of diagnosis, I had hit rock bottom, waking up each day had become a chore and getting through that day felt even harder, like climbing the worlds toughest mountain...
Looking back, that metaphorical mountain was the beginning of my healing journey, one that would stretch across years and layers and one that would venture me through forgiveness, both happy & sad tears, stillness and profound emotional growth...
There were days I broke and days that I rebuilt, but always, one breath and one movement at a time, I moved closer to something that felt like safety and peace.
On my journey yoga found me, movement directed me, strength training protected me, mindfulness anchored me and compassion (for myself and others) softened everything around me...
Moving forwards 10 years...
Today, I live off-grid, in a tiny 2 berth caravan with my partner, content, happy and with both feet firmly planted on the earth, traveling the world in our beloved split screen camper (Mariana) and sharing what I have lived, learnt and experienced along the way...
I am a health and wellness practitioner on an entrepreneurial journey, creating a wellness ripple that touches the hearts and lives of millions of women and teenagers around the world.
I truly believe that each and every one of us are on our own personal journey and we all have our own emotional mountains to climb, it is how we choose to climb them that determines our future...
I spend each day creating a world that feels true, one that allows me to walk by the side of all of those whom wish to welcome me on their journey, offering softness, connection, gentle guidance, compassion, motivation and a smile along the way!
Thank you for being part of this journey, with love & kindness, Gina Louise
