For years, I lived with sensory overload and selective mutism without realizing the impact it had on my life. 

It wasn’t just childhood struggles. It seeped into everything—my education, my career, my opportunities. 

Held Back, Overlooked & Bypassed 

In school, I worked hard, but my grades didn’t reflect my intelligence. I struggled with coordination—trying to take notes while listening felt impossible. If I focused on writing, I missed what the teacher was saying. If I tried to listen, my hands would freeze, unable to write fast enough. 

Classrooms were overstimulating—bright lights, chatter, scraping chairs, buzzing projectors. I was constantly on edge, and my body was too busy trying to survive the sensory chaos to focus on learning. 

By the time I entered the corporate world, the same patterns followed me. 

I was bypassed for promotions—not because I lacked skills, but because I wasn’t the one speaking up, taking space, asserting myself. I had valuable insights, strong ideas, deep understanding—but my voice wasn’t loud enough. 

The workplace rewards confidence, boldness, visibility. And I had spent my life quietly adapting, staying small, avoiding attention. 

Even when I wanted to teach craniosacral therapy, I was overlooked again. I had the skills, the knowledge, the depth—but I wasn’t seen. 

The Missing Piece: My Nervous System Was Stuck in Survival Mode 

For so long, I thought the problem was me. 

I thought I needed to be louder, tougher, more assertive. But the truth was, my nervous system was dysregulated. 

Sensory overload had kept me in a chronic state of fight-or-flight. 

Selective mutism was my body's way of protecting itself from overwhelm. 

My nervous system had never learned how to regulate itself. 

I wasn’t failing—I was stuck. 

Healing Through Craniosacral Therapy: Learning to Self-Regulate & Thrive 

Then came Craniosacral Therapy.  Through my training, I received treatments myself. And with each session, something profound happened—my autonomic nervous system began to self-regulate. 

Craniosacral therapy doesn’t just ease symptoms—it supports the nervous system in finding balance, helping it shift from survival mode into a state where we can truly thrive and shine. 

- The sensory chaos softened. 

- The fight-or-flight signals quieted. 

- The tension unwound. 

- My body shifted into ease, clarity, and confidence. 

I wasn’t just managing symptoms anymore—I was healing at the deepest level. And because of that, I finally had the space to shine. 

From Silence to Speaking: Finding My Purpose 

Now, I stand before groups, speaking with ease, with clarity, with confidence. 

I am an eloquent public speaker. 

I am a tutor for the Cranio SelfCare4Health programme. 

I use my voice to help others heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. 

The person who was once silent, bypassed, unseen—now teaches, leads, and empowers others to heal. 

Healing Isn’t Just Personal—It’s Power 

When your nervous system is downregulated and in a state of balance, everything becomes possible. 

We are no longer stuck in survival mode. 

We are no longer held back by past limitations. 

We finally step into our fullest potential—not just surviving, but thriving.
