A Little Bit About Us.

We All Start Somewhere.

FIRST BELIEF

COMPASSION

Compassion is the cornerstone of nurturing loving relationships. It fosters empathy and understanding between partners, promoting self-love and acceptance. When partners embrace compassion, they connect on a deeper emotional level, cultivating a stronger bond that withstands challenges.

SECOND BELIEF

ACCOUNTABILITY

Accountability builds trust and reliability in a relationship. By taking responsibility for one’s actions, partners demonstrate honesty and vulnerability, which encourages openness and authenticity in both individuals. This mutual commitment to accountability strengthens the partnership.

THIRD BELIEF

COMMUNICATION

Effective communication is essential for achieving true intimacy in relationships. A fulfilling and lasting connection is founded on open and honest dialogue. Good communication involves sharing thoughts and feelings candidly and being willing to be vulnerable, allowing partners to truly understand one another.

I'M FIONA!

An Integrative Psychotherapist, Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher and Co-Founder of Re-Younify.

Hi, I am Fiona, and I help women reconnect with their true selves, cultivate self-love and learn how to communicate their whole selves authentically.

For a long time, I struggled with my sense of self, I was taught it was selfish to put my needs first and would often prioritise everyone else’s needs over mine out of a sense of duty and guilt.

Growing up with low self-esteem and a feeling that there was something deeply wrong with me, caused by neglect and emotional abuse, I spend most of my adult life masking the not so attractive parts of myself. I tried hard to mould myself into the perfect partner, holding back thoughts, feelings and emotions out of fear of being rejected.

I couldn’t speak my mind, I would swing from extremes of silence and withdrawal to anger and criticism, often exploding after days, weeks or months of holding stuff it. Feeding into a cycle of harsh self-criticism, self-loathing and self-punishment.

Moreover, I felt like I had to do it all, keep a perfect house, be a perfect partner/wife, work and keep up a busy social life and I burnt out.

This started my journey of self-healing, first I focused on physical health, diet and exercise and became passionate about nutrition, but I couldn’t fix myself, I was still struggling, until I addressed my emotional pain.

Over the last few years, and after hundreds of hours of studying the connection between body and mind and looking at how the body holds emotional pain. I now understand that if we really want to heal and change our lives, we need to address those early childhood wounds while simultaneously working with what is going on in the body in the present.

I have also learnt that women who have suffered from sexual or physical abuse find it hard to connect into their bodies as they see connecting into their bodies as dangerous, therefore connecting in needs to be done gently, slowly and respectfully.

So how has all of this changed my relationship with John?

Through learning how to connect into my body, and staying present with my thoughts, feelings, emotions and bodily sensations, I was able to really vocalise what was going on. I learnt how to be courageous in my speech and how I asked for help. I understood that if I spoke from the heart and approached things with kindness and compassion, I could get my needs met.

I was able to have hard conversations with him about my truth and my pain even if it meant feeling shame and embarrassment in the moment. Bringing in that level of vulnerability bought us closer together and strengthened our bond.

Over the course of the last few years, we developed the Integrated Self Framework, using the tools that most resonated with us and saw the biggest transformations both personally and in our relationship.

The reason the Integrated Self Framework works is because it takes the focus away from your partner and puts it firmly on you! It is about deep self-exploration. It teaches you how to stay present with yourself and self-reflect and then provides you with tools to process your triggers. This means as you work through your triggers and traumas, you are no longer triggered by the same issues in your relationship, and your relationship will go from strength to strength. This has been our experience anyway!

But most importantly it gives you the courage to speak up, address your unmet needs and feel seen, heard, validated and understood in your relationship.

If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-exploration, self-understanding, and courageous self-love, why not start your healing journey today, and sign up to my Brave Beginnings introductory sessions! Let’s unlock the beauty of true self-acceptance together and create harmonious relationships that reflect the love and respect we cultivate within ourselves.

THIS IS OUR STORY.

We are partners in life and in business, a duo who learnt through our relationship that the most important conversations happen when we do the inner work first.

We have struggled like many couples do, with betrayals, lies, deceit, serious illnesses and with past traumas rearing their ugly heads. We have been reactive, triggered and blamed each other for pain that was not the others responsibility. We have fought and made up a million times.

However, what we learnt through this process was how to really communicate with each other. The hardest times taught us how to really be present with each other, let go of control and the need to be right and focus on collaboration, teamwork and unity.

We were lucky that we both shared an interest in the mind-body connection and over the last few years have supported each other as we have studied together and independently, to further develop our knowledge and experience on this subject.

As we studied together and put into practice what we were learning in our relationship, we started to see positive shifts happen, in our communication with each other, in how much more connected and safer we felt and on how much happier we were.

With a real focus on healthy communication, we practiced active listening, accountability, respect, taking responsibility for our words and actions and self-reflection.

It is through these practices that we developed the Integrated Self Framework, a Framework that really teaches you how to pause, stop, connect into your body, be present and self-reflect.

This Framework has transformed our relationship with each other, but also with ourselves, we generally feel lighter, happier and more content with life as we process the traumas and triggers that had been weighing us down for years.

We would now like to help others reconnect with themselves using the Integrated Self Framework so that they too can enjoy a more connected, harmonious relationship with themselves and with others.

One-to-One Sessions

I'M JOHN!

An Integrative Psychotherapist and Co-Founder of Re-Younify

Hi, I’m John and I am here to help men reconnect with their true selves and find their authentic voice.

My own journey has been one of deep transformation….

For much of my life, I struggled with expressing my thoughts, feelings and emotions, often internalising my feelings out of fear of shame or mockery. Isolated, I couldn’t talk to anyone authentically, I felt trapped physically and mentally and felt like I was living a fraudulent inauthentic life. I would often daydream about the kind of life I wanted to live and felt angry and resentful towards my current life.

I felt I couldn’t speak from the heart and wish I had the courage to speak my mind, but I was too afraid of what would happen if I did.

I wasn’t being honest, I hurt people in the process, and it taught me a massive lesson in life. It taught me the importance of expressing what was really going on instead of trying to hide it. I thought I was protecting people by holding information back but instead I was causing, pain, upset and damage.

This was a big turning point for me in my relationship with myself and with others.

I knew that if change was going to happen it had to start with me. Over the course of the last few years, Fiona and I committed to improving our relationship by learning how to understand ourselves better. Both psychotherapists we decided to study together and then put into practice what we had learnt in our relationship. During that time we developed the Integrated Self Framework, using a combination of the tools we learnt during our studies that has seen our relationship go from strength to strength.

The key to the success of the Integrated Self Framework is that it helps you become more self-aware and aware of your unconscious patterns of behaviour. Using the framework, we can slow down, pause and self-reflect. Allowing repair to happen more authentically and vulnerably, leading to a deeper, stronger and more connected relationship.

I now feel happy, and content in my life. I am no longer trying to escape it. I have learnt that I can speak my mind without being afraid and that being more open and transparent builds a much stronger, healthier relationship. I now feel comfortable in my own skin and no longer feel the need to pretend to be someone I am not.

Today, I am passionate about sharing the insights and tools I've gained from my journey with others who may be facing similar challenges. I understand the struggle to find peace within oneself and in relationships, and I want to guide you through your own transformative experience.

During our one-to-one sessions, using our Integrated Self Framework, we will have the opportunity to work with your present relationship/life struggles, as we work through these issues, you will build a stronger sense of self which will start to be reflected in your relationship with yourself and with others. The more you do the inner work the more confident you will be showing up as your full authentic self.

So why not start your healing journey today and sign up to our Brave Beginnings initial assessment and become the man that you have always wanted to be?
