Into the Blue

 

 
After 16 years of banking, running three companies, caring for two children and six horses, my husband and I decided the life we had created was not for us. Despite spending 17 years together and loving every minute of each other’s company, Marcus and I, like many others, felt like prisoners of stress. We would spend our free time studying various holistic modalities, yearning to find a way to cope with our continual stresses without having to give up our careers and lifestyles. Yet we couldn’t seem to fully eliminate it from our lives – that is of course, until one day a single event changed our lives and inspired us to embark on a journey that would allow us to break free from the British mould and seek optimum health and serenity.

 

The straw that finally broke the camel’s back occurred on a cold, wet Monday morning. I received a phone call informing me that a dear friend and business associate aged 41 had died of a heart attack. Our friend was a couple of years younger than me, a typical banker - hard working and always stressed. He died on a Sunday morning in bed with his seven-year-old son playing next to him.

 

After our friend’s death, my husband Marcus and I spent so much time reflecting on our lives and how we had allowed stress to dominate our lives. Finally, I asked Marcus, “If we were free to make the choice where would we live?†His answer was the South Pacific! After much debate, we decided to set about unravelling our life. The challenge of this was all encompassing. It took about a year and a half, lots of drama and lots of heartache to let go of the lives that we had built and create a new one from scratch.

 

By August 2005, finally free from our chattels, we were ready to begin our greatest adventure. Despite not having a clue of what we would do for the rest of our lives - when one has a burning desire, fool or fancy does not play a part in the decision-making process. No matter what, we knew we had to go. The general consensus about us giving up all we had worked so hard to create was that we were either brave or stupid. Nonetheless, with nine suitcases, two kids, ages 5 and 12, we set off into the blue.

 

We planned our route via the US as it was our children’s dream to see Disney World. However Los Angeles was shocking for them and we spent most of our time explaining to our children why people were begging on the streets and why people there were so obese.

 

Next was Western Samoa, a delightful place steeped in history. Despite there being no hint of western pleasures, the people were happy, had great self-respect and looked well and vital. We got to know their culture and revelled in their uncomplicated, yet fulfilled lives. It amazed us how effortless life could be when the ‘mighty contemporary world’ was left behind. We treasured our time in Western Samoa as it was our first taste of freedom from the confines of modern civilisation.

 

Our next stop was Tonga, an archipelago of 171 tropical dots on the horizon. Let’s just say that we definitely weren’t ready for this culture shock. The Tongan people are amazing and truly gorgeous, but they know little of the outside world and frankly, have no real interest in it. They live simple lives in a place completely isolated from the ‘trappings’ of western society.

 

After some time, however, we realised that we could not home-school our children. We had initially thought that we could handle educating our own kids, but as it turned out, we weren’t cut out to be teachers. We didn’t want to become selfish in our quest for peace and tranquillity so we had to make yet another big decision and find a new place to move where our kids could be educated.

 

As we considered our options, we felt completely alone and almost like our new home had become a mental prison. At that moment, it hit us that we were on the other end of the only world we really knew, on a deserted beach, with no home, no focus and no idea what we were going to do with the rest of our lives. Having researched New Zealand years earlier, we regrettably decided to leave our tropical paradise for fairly more westernised shores. It was a gloomy day saying goodbye to our Tongan friends and the trip from Va-vau to New Zealand was very sad. In a way, we felt we had failed and perhaps lacked the right ingredients to pursue and find our dream.

 

New Zealand was yet another shock. After being on a small tropical island, the crowds of people and the noise levels were unbearable. We sat in McDonald’s, to the children’s delight and to what felt like our surrender, and contemplated our future. Then we did what the typical traveller did in New Zealand - we hired a camper van. Despite it being called a six-berth mobile transporter, it was certainly not for six people. Marcus and I spent six weeks sleeping top to toe, his shoulders too wide for us to be at the same end. New Zealand was possibly the lowest point of our journey and perhaps even our lives. We were confused and emotionally exhausted as we drove from one end of the county to the other, crossing mountain passes, over rivers and through dales, marvelling at the incredible views - but still, without a clue to what we were really searching for.

 

One thing I should point out during this stage of our journey is that we all experienced weight gain - not just a couple of pounds, but some serious kilos. Our New Zealand diet had a “Super Size Me†effect so I’d put on 13 kilos in six weeks. Years earlier, when I had opted to bleach my hair blond after it had begun turning grey, I was informed of a belief that the act of shaving one’s head allowed spirituality to enter the body – almost like a type of purification. So to add insult to injury, we shaved our heads in a campsite bathroom. Let’s just say, I didn’t feel purified, instead, it only made me look uglier than I felt already.

 

New Zealand became torturous after having driven 6,000 kilometres in six weeks. I have powerful memories of sitting on a beach called “Cape of Foul Wind†and crying into another bag of fish and chips, wondering what would become of us. Finally, we decided on arrival in Queens Town, where we would do every dangerous sport or activity we could find. When you spend years living a stressful life, it can be impossible to relax and so we were looking for any way to release our minds and bodies from the toxins and stressed energy that had enslaved us.

 

We set about throwing ourselves out of planes, bungee jumping, white water rafting and canyon swinging. The reality of sitting at the open door of a plane 16,000 feet up with only a parachute on one’s back really does remind you to be glad to be alive. Each activity brought us closer to freedom, loosening the invisible ropes we had tied around ourselves. Nonetheless, we knew that New Zealand was not a place we could live as it was just too similar to the life we had left behind. On our way back to Auckland, once again, my husband and I found ourselves facing each other and asking, “So where to now my darling?â€

 

It took a week to get to the city, but even during all that time, we couldn’t decide on the next step of our journey. Upon our arrival, Marcus remembered reading about a boat for sale in Phuket, Thailand. It wasn’t a place on our list, we had never considered living there, it seemed so incredibly foreign to us and we had almost no knowledge of Thai culture and lifestyle, however, on a cold rainy day in Auckland we set off to Thailand on yet another journey to see if we could find a new place to call home. Getting off the plane in Phuket was a moment of sheer joy. Our daughter turned to me and said, “I love the weather mummy - look it’s not raining!†From that point onwards, it just kept getting better.

 

We moved into a wonderful apartment and began to look around. It’s not difficult to fall in love with a place where people are so incredibly nice and are smiling all the time. We had previously heard people promote Thailand as the ‘Land of Smiles’ and we discovered that it actually was a true account of the nation. We visited the boat that Marcus had seen advertised, which was responsible for bringing us there, but we decided not to buy it after considering how unrealistic it would be to live in it with two children. We found a house to live in, instead, and a school for the children.

 

Marcus and I finally began to relax and as everything quickly began to slot into place, we finally felt ourselves breathing peacefully. During this time, however, I had a personal and massive mountain to climb; my weight had escalated, my skin looked old and grey and despite finally having a home, both Marcus and I were still exhausted. We knew we had to find a way to reverse the damage the last few months of instability had done to our mental and physical health.

 

The holistic skills we had picked up along the way were put to the test. We used self-hypnosis techniques to curb our eating habits, Thai herbs to cleanse our body of toxins, colon hydrotherapy, a designed diet plan to help us all regain the strength we had lost due to our terrible travelling diets and coconut oil, which is truly the most remarkable product for weight loss and cell regeneration. We also met an incredible third generation Thai herbalist, 85 years young, who inspired us to try Thai herbs with ‘magical effects’. By implicating all these techniques and herbs, it took us only five months to drastically change our appearances; my skin looked and felt years younger and 13 kilos fell away with ease.

 

All of this was accomplished with the help of many friends who volunteered their help with tasks such as grinding raw ingredients by hand. As people noticed the amazing transformations Marcus and I underwent, they started following in our footsteps, helping themselves and others regain their health and vitality. Without meaning to, we had somehow moulded a ‘purity’ program that served as an effective weight loss and anti-ageing tool, as well as a fantastic way to revitalize the mind, body and spirit.

 

After a year of research, trials and tribulations, we took this concept into production. We found an organic Thai farmer who had been producing Thai herbal preparations for twenty years and convinced him to grow our herbs in his farm. We also decided to introduce ourselves to the luxury hotel and spa market as we felt it could facilitate people’s purification journeys, supporting and pampering them during their experience, as well as provide them with a venue where they could get educated and motivated.

 

Finally, everything was falling into place and we found ourselves witnessing remarkable results in ourselves, our children and our program, which we appropriately called ‘Puriti’. We had found our calling, ‘our flow’, and it has kept on ‘flowing’. Puriti has progressed at a tremendous rate, driven by our passion and the world’s new “wellness†consciousness. With the success of our program, we realised to what extent the “educated wellness seekers†are yearning for real solutions and guidance to their personal wellbeing.

 

During the last three years, we have witnessed the wellness industry in Asia explode! As spas and wellness centres around the world look into purification as the route to their guests’ wellbeing, people are waking from their slumber to the reality that we have one life to live and that life is precious.

 

So now I ask you, can you imagine looking and feeling better than you did ten years ago? I can… because I do look and feel better! It may be a bumpy journey, but there is always a way - a route - to optimum health and vitality. Speaking from my personal experiences, you can always find a path that is in keeping with our soul’s purpose.

 

“Everything will be ok in the end, if it’s not ok, it’s not the end…†(unknown)
