Reborn
from the Ashes

A woman, artist and healer from a lineage of strong women. Women with power and women who lived in suppression. Women in high education and women who were illiterate.

I'm a daughter of China and Taiwan, with roots in South Africa. I live in rural England. Autism runs in my bloodstream. I was born a Fire Dragon and my birth name means Serene. Welcome to my micro universe of paradox, contradictions and polarities. 

I lived in a paradox. On one hand, women were treated equally with opportunities and choices in education and careers. On the other hand, traditional belief systems dictated women's roles without granting them any choices.

A troubled young woman, I recognised I needed help. I delved into well-known healing methods which supported my journey. My physical health was still riddled with chronic pains, troubled menstruation, digestive and eating disorders and sleep imbalances. Mentally, I felt low self-worth, self-loath, lack of confidence, scared and angry of others- especially women. Emotionally, I was angry and pleasing others whilst hating it, felt overwhelmed and all over the place.

Two decades later, in rural England, I spent months in nature, nurturing and nourishing myself with delicious homemade food, prepared with love and began to feel the changes. The deeper I went the more I had to surrender.

My Metamorphosis Journey

It began on that cold wintry night when I dropped on my humble knees and surrendered to the Divine, her ancient wisdom. I gave myself to the Divine. I knelt down and, surrounded by her ancient, loving wisdom, I began to heal my wounds.

All these can be healed

Through learning and understanding how my past affected me, I gave myself permission and allowed my love and compassion to flood me.

I healed my wounds and I was re-birthed in the ashes of the rising phoenix that was set alight, the soul twin sister to me, a fire-dragon. I retrieved all my fragments and weaved into my tapestry, and returned all parts as a whole to home, to my heart.
