“Inside every stone, sleeps a crystal”
BeyondtheBranches, arose from a committment in seeing the value of doing the work on self (and collective) pain and projections, the importance of forgiveness, and raw honesty.
It is only then that we can give the gift of heartfelt Listening and surrender to TRUST.
There is an understanding of creating an interaction where people can:
- Be seen and see others
- Be understood and understand others
- Speak their raw, honest Truth – as it is at the core of who we are
- Replace self-judgment with self-empathy
- Trust forgiveness

– Founder and Facilitator
As a woman, daughter, mum, wife, teacher, coach, and fellow human being, I have experienced the pain of believing I was NOT enough.
So, through this thinking, I shut myself down from fully showing up. I took on such roles as “People Pleasing”, “Rescuer”, “Victim”, “Controller”, and more.
Those roles, I now see, enabled me to survive… despite never really feeling like I belonged. I thought I was helping myself to feel safe, wanted, valued, and enough.
The transformation came through many modalities… and the journey continues.
I came to see I was seeing the world from a place of me thinking I had to be “in control to be heard. To matter”. Oh dear … this was fear based. So, I was constantly choosing to abandon my authentic loving self.
So, how could I disconnect from myself and think I would connect with others?!!! Just not possible!
Nature has also been a huge part of my journey in releasing control, rebuilding trust and developing the art of listening.
The impact of this journey so far, has provided a non-judgemental, freedom-based environment that brings healing through listening.
Hence, the birth of BeyondtheBranches – the art of connecting!
