About Me
Understanding She Was The Storm
For much of my life, I searched for my worth through achievement, success and external validation. But before all of that, I was lost.
I was anxious, overwhelmed and carrying so much internally that I didn’t know how to express. I struggled to speak my truth because I was so worried about hurting people, upsetting people or causing conflict. I became the person who kept the peace, held everything together and made sure everyone else was okay whilst quietly falling apart myself.
On the outside, I smiled.
Inside, I was struggling.
She Was The Storm isn't about perfection; it's about showing up for yourself, even when (especially when) life is a mess. It's about learning that you can be both strong and soft, busy and balanced, stressed and still taking care of yourself.
"From the outside, life looked polished and successful, but internally, I still felt disconnected from myself"
As a teenager, I searched for escape, validation and connection in unhealthy ways because deep down I didn’t know who I really was. I suffered with anxiety and depression for years, but didn’t fully understand it at the time.
At 17, whilst living in a hostel during one of the lowest points in my life, I had a moment that genuinely changed everything.
I remember this overwhelming feeling deep inside me saying:
“Amy, this is not you. This is not who you are.”
That moment stayed with me forever. However, instead of truly healing and looking inward, I threw myself into work, achievement and proving myself. I became driven, ambitious and determined to build a better life, believing success would finally make me feel worthy.
My career led me into luxury hospitality, leisure and operations, working within some of London’s most prestigious private members’ clubs and hospitality environments, including Annabel's, The Hurlingham Club, The Groucho Club and Royal Automobile Club.
Becoming a mother changed me deeply.
Having my children allowed me to parent in the way I always wished I had been parented myself. It made me want to break cycles, rewrite the script and create a different kind of environment for them — one built on love, emotional safety, encouragement, connection and presence.
For the first time, I really started questioning everything — the way I lived, what I put into my body, the environments I created, the pace of life I was living at and what true wellbeing actually meant
And through trying to create that life for my children, I slowly started creating it for myself too.
Manifestation also became a huge part of my journey, not in the superficial sense of just wishing for things, but in understanding how your mindset, beliefs, energy and nervous system shape the life you create.
I went from being a broken girl living in a hostel at 17 to building a life, career and future I once could only dream of. I’m not saying the journey has been perfect, far from it, but I am living proof that transformation is possible.
After losing my father, everything shifted again.
My dad spent much of his life in Cornwall, surrounded by the sea, nature, and storms, and during one of the most transformative periods of my life, I began to notice signs I couldn’t ignore. In 2026, there was a storm named Amy… and another named Patrick, my father’s name. Around the same time, my husband gave me a bracelet engraved with the words:
“Fate whispers to the warrior, you cannot withstand the storm. And the warrior whispers back, I am the storm.”
Something about those words awakened something inside me. What once felt like chaos became transformation.
What once felt like pain became purpose.
And from that moment, She Was the Storm was born
Today, I combine sound healing, movement, meditation, Reiki, cacao ceremonies and immersive wellness experiences to create spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and simply breathe. My work is shaped not only by professional experience, but by lived experience. My intention through every session, retreat and experience is simple:
to help people reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, find calm within the chaos and remember their own strength.
Because sometimes the storm does not arrive to destroy you.
Sometimes it arrives to bring you home.
"I became passionate about healing, nourishment, movement, sustainability and creating a calmer, more conscious way of living."
