I am the case study.
My story is the methodology.
Meet Belinda
I spent 20 years as the “dream client”.
I tried A LOT of things, including working my way up to senior practitioner and instructor in the Compassion Key system before walking away in July 2025. The breakthrough didn't come from trying harder. It came from listening to my body more, unplugging from egregores and working with the Milky Way (yes… you read that correctly).
After a corporate career that almost killed me and trauma patterns that resisted every modality I tried, I couldn't figure out why most tools work for some people but not everyone.
That question drove me to develop something new: a decontamination and restoration approach where your own Greater Self does the work, clearing patterns from every layer of your body simultaneously: physical, mental, emotional, etheric, ancestral, karmic. Change sticks because it happens in the body, not just in concept.
I've had the shit kicked out of me by life, repeatedly. Every time, I rise. That's not a motivational statement. It's just what happened.
My Story
Like you, the story of my life so far includes fear and courage, love and loss, rage and delight, deep grief and wild joy.
While my mother was pregnant with me, my parents were in a serious car accident. My brain and nervous system got wired in some interesting ways, but I didn’t even begin to understand that until I was 40 years old.
I spent my early childhood on a 40,000 acre sheep and cattle station in North West Queensland, Australia. My early memories involve UHF radios, horses, Blue Heelers and kelpies, snakes, endless stars and many hours spent on dusty outback roads in the back seat of our Holden station wagon, listening to Charley Pride and Willie Nelson and Boney M on cassette.
When I was 16 my younger sister died after a long journey with leukemia. We all did our best, but no-one in our family knew how to deal with loss like that. So for the next 20 years, I just kept the grief locked away inside.
The year I turned 30, I started working for Microsoft. After 10 years working inside the corporate machine in Australia, Singapore and the UK, my adrenals collapsed. And I decided to do whatever it took to get to the bottom of why I had pushed myself so hard, for so long… and lost my soul in the process.
My search for answers took me from ice bathing in the Ganges outside Rishikesh, to shitting my pants in the mountains of Montana with only my soul for company, to meditating with a wizard monk in Myanmar while he insisted I had a lifetime as a long-dead Burmese queen. I burned through a few passports, tangled with several charismatic narcissists, and tried so many different healing modalities I can’t remember them all.
Through all of that, I kept accumulating practitioner certifications and working with clients. (It turns out that hypervigilance helps make you very good at noticing and sensing what other people need.)
It's taken me 20 years to understand hyper-sensitivity… and I’m still learning all the time.
For so long, I couldn't figure out why my body and my life still felt so painful, even after doing SO MUCH INNER WORK! I was convinced there must be something seriously wrong with me. Learning to notice when I was leaving my body has changed everything.
Learning about the markers of high masking autism helped too. Before that, I didn’t realise how much discomfort I’d been suppressing and how hard I’d been working at pretending to be “normal”. (I’m doing that much less these days.)
The final piece - which brings us to the present day - was my decision to stop seeing myself as broken and start focusing on delight first.
And get this - Joy is my middle name, which suggests that my purpose was written on the label this whole time!
Sometimes the answers you seek are hiding in plain sight.
What I’ve done and what I know
I've worked my way through more modalities than I can list, as a client first, then as a practitioner, then as a senior instructor. I don’t use most of those tools any more.
I know what it feels like to go deep inside a system, to teach it to others, and then to realise it wasn't always doing the job.
The work I do now is built from everything that didn't quite work, and the few things that did. I’m currently studying neuro-somatic integration and I still love a research deep dive.
I don't have a single impressive credential to put on this page. What I have is 20 years of being the person this work is designed for, and an approach that comes directly out of that experience. If that’s enough for you…

I’m done hiding.
Where you'll find me
Where you'll find me
Where you'll find me Where you'll find me
When I’m not in my tiny house doing sessions or group calls, you may find me…
Being Auntie Bel and watching my niece and nephew playing sport.
Watching fantasy, sci-fi or spy-thriller shows (like Silo or Foundation - or possibly Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the 6th time).
Listening to birds.
Reading fantasy fiction and cosmic non-fiction (Robin Hobb’s Elderlings series is my all time favourite).
Getting my hands in the dirt learning to grow food and medicinal herbs.
