Hi ~ I'm Patty.

I see love & beauty in all things.
I come alive for authenticity and mental health.

Sometimes, I fly.

We had the most intense weekend in Wellington (surprise trip, more info on that soon 😉) and I’ve noticed I’ve been feeling quite exhausted.

As much as I love exploring, going on spontaneous trips, and taking the day by storm, I realise

This may look like a hot girl with great hair in lingerie, but what you don’t see are the years battling with anxiety, doing the hard work to get to a place where she finally loves herself.⁠

I've recently hurt my hamstring/glute region (maybe over-exerted at silks last week...) and I'm finding it quite a wonderful experience.⁠

A gentle reminder: Look after your body, even when you are absolutely, 100% stoked to be back in training. ⁠

I'm a busy creative, so movement has been crucial to keep my days balanced. When I'm at circus, I have the freedom to play, and I love that

One year, four countries, numerous cities explored, a plethora of beaches and mountains trodden, thousands of photos taken, endless plates of food and glasses of alcohol consumed. The past 12 months of looking up to you, being challenged by you, goin

So grateful for all the lyra progress over the past 12 months. I love this freedom of fun and play, balanced with the challenge of pushing past fear and going beyond what I think I can achieve.

Thankful for @thedustpalacecommunity @ @limitlessstudi

Moving forward, I commit to trust.

I am choosing love over fear, peace over worry, and faith over doubt.

I am releasing all things that no longer serve me. I no longer carry the burden of resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness. I am free.
