Eventually, it evolved into headaches that would sideline her for weeks at a time.
I was left in bed unable to move for days.
I even remember having to crawl to the bathroom, she said.
When she collapsed in public, people said to her: Stop being over-dramatic.
It was a painful and isolating process, she said.
Every examination from my GP would always end with: Its just period pain and unfortunately its hereditary.
I can prescribe you some stronger painkillers such as codeine to help with the pain.
This carried on for a grueling 3 years, she explained.
Eventually, as a post-grad, Hayleys ongoing health crisis began to impact her mental health.
In the aftermath, she was left with low self-esteem, anxiety and even worse symptoms.
Finally, she received the correct diagnosis.
Altogether, she created a holistic approach to healing her body.
Hayley also believes a metaphysical practice helped her as well.
Ive found meditation has really helped my symptoms, as breathing allows the body to calm itself.
Her true calling was revealed to her over time.
I always dreamt and wanted a life where Id work for myself and serve others, she said.
Id be the go-to girl when people needed advice.
Whether it was health related, relationship life or even fashion advice, I was that girl.
Im in true alignment with my souls purpose when I help women turn their pain into power.
And as for the advice shed give her younger self?
You have no idea how fantastic your journey is going to be.
Every tear, laugh, emotion and frustration will build you, not demolish you.
