About óm

Welcome to óm holistic

​

This work began as a personal search for calm. For years

, I lived a life that looked amazing to the outside world—I looked happy, like I had it all. But inside, I felt deeply disconnected. I was overwhelmed, riddled with anxiety, and quietly navigating depression.

​

I didn’t come to holistic therapies as a practitioner. I came as a woman trying to feel better.

The more therapies I tried, the worse I got. I searched for the fix—one more tweak to my meds, six more weeks of talk therapy, sticking religiously to yoga. But the more I chased the “missing piece,” the further I drifted from myself.

​

Each specialist did what they were trained to do. The doctor helped with my physical symptoms. The counsellor gave me tools for my emotions. The personal trainer kept me focused on my health goals. I’m grateful for all of them. Their support got me through. But each looked through their own lens—and no one saw me as a whole person.

Trying to follow five different versions of “what to do” was exhausting. It wasn’t that their help wasn’t real—it’s just that the answers I needed couldn’t come from someone else’s manual.

​

What I was really searching for was my soul.

​

Not necessarily something spiritual—just a way to feel like me again. I started asking bigger questions: Why do society’s cracks weigh so heavily on me? Why do I feel so different? Why does this all feel so loud? And when I asked those questions, I stepped off the wheel.

​

I came back to myself. I began again, from within.

​

In 2023, at 40 years old, I retrained. You can read more about that journey below.

​

What I offer now through óm holistic is the kind of care I was searching for all along.

This is a space for women to rest, to receive, and to return to themselves—whether through a solo treatment or a ritual shared with someone close. Every experience is guided by intuition, grounded in rhythm, and created with care.

​

Treatments support your skin, your muscles, your nervous system—but they also offer something else: space. Stillness. A different pace.

​

You might be here because:

  • You’re craving a slower, more rooted kind of care

  • You’ve been holding too much for too long

  • You want to reconnect with your body and feel more like yourself

  • You value natural, intentional therapies that honour the whole of you​​

óm holistic isn’t just about self-care. It’s about remembering who you are underneath the noise.
