Do you want to live in an awakened, resourceful state? A state of flourish?
You can live a life where you die without regret
Light Before Dawn
Guiding you to your awakening

What does it mean to awaken?
We believe many of us are living a life of blind unawareness of the suffering we are causing ourselves.
We guide you to a wakened place, where you respond rather than react in life - meaning you can choose what and how you be. This consciousness of choice influences your daily experience, including how you connect with others, allowing you to make choices resulting in you living in a resourceful state.

what is a resourceful state?
From this place of resourcefulness, you have a ‘strong back and a soft front’ - a place of balance and integrity. This place of balance and integrity is reflective of you now having a deep acceptance of yourself, an awareness of how best to connect with others, clear boundaries, and you have let go thinking patterns, beliefs, and bodily held emotional blockages not serving you. You are able to embody - and be with - all emotional states. Being in this resourceful state is the birthplace for a life lived in flourish.

what is being in flourish?
To be living a life in flourish, you move out of a state of surviving, through thriving and into being in flourish.
You may now be in a place of surviving - sleep disturbance, physical discomfort and pain, emotional distress, patterns of worrying thinking - maybe even catastrophising, panic, overwhelm, a sense of being stuck, lost in what you want to do - or be, and a general sense of hopelessness. You may be somatacising - physically and energetically manifesting the suppression of emotional pain. You are living a life of scarcity, and your life may reflect this with money challenges, lack of meaningful connections and dissatisfaction in many areas of your life. A state of survival can be autoimmune physical symptoms, anxiety, depression, grief and/or a sense of being lost or stuck, either personally or in relationships. Living in this survival state is exhausting, a place of little joy and contentment.
Living in a thriving state means you have improved sleep, healthy thinking patterns, physical ease and emotional wellness. In this place of thriving you spend time in a place of satisfaction and you trust that life is going to be mainly ok.
Flourish state is where the magic happens. Your daily experience is 80% of how you desire to be - maybe contentment, joy and a sense of inner calm. You have meaningful connections which are rewarding and fulfilling. You wake each day with optimism and a sense of looking forward to the day - knowing you can respond to whatever comes in the day ahead. You have faith in life being more than ok, and you are in an abundant mindset and living an abundant life.

Business Manager
Are you wanting to be awakened and living in a resourceful state?

Anyone reading this I would highly recommend Fi as a life guide/coach/councillor (whatever you wish to call it). People always give reviews and you don’t know if they are genuine but finding out for yourself is the best way. The investment is worth it. Fi is kind beyond kind. She will listen without judgement - she wouldn’t ever judge you even if you shared with her the worst things you are going through or have been through. She teaches you as well as listening to you with compassion and kindness. I’ve never met or spoken to anyone as calm, helpful and fun as Fi. Invest and take a chance - you will wish you had done sooner.
