I think we can all agree…
Becoming a mum is a truly transformative experience.
Even though new life literally grows within us, somehow, we’re the ones who seem to grow.
We evolve. We experience new joy. We learn hard lessons…
…and we become selfless in ways that seem humanly impossible.
For every perfect family portrait we see on social media, there are 1000 mums wondering how they’re going to survive the next five minutes.
Nothing can prepare us for the demands of motherhood.
We feel as though we’re a shadow of the person we used to be. If energy could be purchased, we’d be buying it by the tonne. Social media keeps telling us that we need to ‘take time for ourselves’ and ‘practice self-care’. This all sounds great in theory but seems almost laughable in reality. Our personal fuel tanks are bone dry, yet we keep managing to run on fumes.
This used to be my story.
Mother of four, full-time carer to both my parents (who have since passed away), business owner, wife, and the glue proudly holding together my own family. I was beyond burnt out. I had no energy yet somehow kept going anyway. There was no peace, very little joy, and a whole lot of exhaustion.
In my story, the universe, quite dramatically, intervened.
A sharp pain in my right side turned out not to be a pulled muscle after all.
I guess you could say that I paid a hefty price for continually putting myself last; my right kidney.
When I asked the specialist how long it takes for a tumour like that to grow, his response was like a slap in the face.
Five years.
I’d had cancer for five years and didn’t even notice.
If you’re a mum, there’s a good chance I’ve just articulated exactly how you’ve been feeling…
… and that’s why I’m officially calling timeout.
Society has spent too long telling mothers that taking care of themselves is selfish. There are superhuman expectations placed on us that, inevitably, lead to extreme burnout, depression, anxiety, and a whole range of health problems (kidney cancer anyone?). We barely recognise the person we see in the mirror and wonder if we’ll ever find ourselves again.
For so many years, my body had been screaming at me to stop. I was just too focussed on taking care of everyone else. This type of health experience is life changing no matter what, but I was determined to let it be for all the right reasons. It was time to take back control and make myself a priority. As cliché as it sounds, you really can’t pour from an empty jug.
If you don’t stop putting yourself last, you’ll end up paying a hefty price. Trust me when I say it’s just not worth it.
I know how time and energy-poor you are. When I was figuring out how I could help you, I knew it had to be in ways that fit your hectic life.
Eventually, I came up with the ideal solution

While I know that I can help you, here are some words from women I’ve healed in the past.
“My treatment was a relaxing, calming, and beautiful experience.
I felt so welcomed. The room was warm and calming, with music playing and oils burning. I felt a heaviness leave my body, leaving me feeling grounded and calm. Thank you”
– Sandra F, Melbourne, Vic
“I felt like a weight had been lifted
After being recommended to go and see Sonia, I’m so happy I did. My anxiety had peaked and I needed help to relieve the tension and eliminate the negative energy. Sonia’s approach was gentle but professional”
– Melissa B, Melbourne Vic
“This was my first Energy Healing session, and the experience was amazing.
Sonia helped me clear my mind and fully relax on the Reiki table. Sonia explained the process step by step and made me feel at ease. At the end of my session, we discussed where I had blockages in certain chakra centres that needed focusing on for my personal healing going forward. I would definitely recommend Souls First to anyone who has an open mind in doing something like this for themselves.”
– Zoe M, Melbourne, Vic
“I have not had a Crystal Reiki or Reiki before my experience with Sonia.
It was very relaxing and soothing, which exceeded my expectations. The room’s ambience was very calming and peaceful which immediately made me feel very comfortable. Her passion and dedication towards my very own custom Reiki healing session, made my first experience one I will never forget. Highly recommend it.”
– Maryanne C, Melbourne Vic
