About me
How I healed my body and mind after years of trauma and depression.
After years of battling depression, fashion healed me
My love for Fashion started at the age of 6. From this age, I started sewing with needle and thread. My dolls were the best dressed. Little did I know that this gift and talent would save me at different seasons of life.
6 miscarriages – – Still born twins — – 8.5 months in hospital (had eclampsia) — – Disabled for 4 years — – Was on morphine for 6 months — – Wore a body brace for 2 years — Weighed 150kg, waiting to explode! — Was depressed
But fashion helped to heal my mind
I underwent a profound transformation by turning inwards and renewing my mind with God’s help. When I hit rock bottom, I realised that I needed to rediscover my passion for styling and fashion. I was fortunate to be accepted into St Martins to study fashion styling. While pursuing my course, I diligently worked on envisioning the kind of woman I aspired to be and revamped my style by revamping my existing wardrobe.
Starting with the clothes in my closet, armed with a needle and thread, I made alterations to my clothes to better fit my body shape at the time. Today, I am committed to helping others do the same. I want to show other women, through my own journey from a breaking point to becoming a fashionista, that it is possible to find hope and reset your life. It’s also possible to live a life of freedom that you’ve long wished for.
If I can do it, you can too. Let me show you how.
