Who Am I?
My Focus
Hello, I am Mandy K, and my focus here is to share a plethora of knowledge and experience, I have gathered over the years. And there have been a few, believe me.
A little about me, I was a mother at a very young age and from there my life seemed to follow a very traditional pathway. I married and life continued on.
When my two kids were both going to school, I became a registered nurse and a midwife, that was over 30 years ago. Then the kids grew up, and my husband and I separated, this was not an easy time which involved financial dilemma.
I was not a confident woman and something needed to change. Well starting from nothing and nothing holding me back I began travelling with my nursing, where I worked in an isolated birthing suite. The staff there empowered the women and all their births were beautiful. Here is where I began my journey for self-confidence and self discovery. I started to find my inner strength and since then I have focused on empowering myself along with all the women I meet, this is my happy place. 
When I turned 50 I was determined to become healthier and fitter. I happened to see a video of a 85 yr old woman working the horizontal bar with such finesse. I thought if her body is capable of lifting herself up then I can do what I have always wanted to do.
At 53 yrs I started training on aerial silks and lyra. It was not easy and my joints were fairly set in their ways, however, I was determined.
We are all at different levels and one thing I have found out is that one thing may work for someone, however not for someone else. Let’s see what works for you…
To achieve this took a lot of patience and determination. Thinking I had arthritis developing in my fingers to the bruises (kisses) from the lyra to the back of my knees and burns from the silks. The end result is, I realise, anyone can do anything with a bit of determination and passion.
