I am an entrepreneur by heart. I love the adrenaline of owning my own business. Waking up in the morning I get inspired by myself to keep on going every day regardless of the ups and downs. I have 3 years old twin boys, Braedan and Lachlan. I manage my salon, Aphrodite Hair and Makeup and I have recently self-published my first kid's book: The Sai Kung Police Officers. Between the two of them trying to kill themselves, the salon and promoting the book, I have my hands full. Through meditation, I find peace, calm and balance. I practice mindfulness and thrive to be present in my daily life.
