About Me - My Biography

Hello there, my name is Jai (pronounced J) and a few years ago my life took a major turn, as a result, I lost my own sense of identity. On the outside, I may have appeared confident, successful, and accomplished – on the inside things were quite different.

As I came to get to know this new version of myself, I realised I was not alone, and there are many women who need love, support, and the tools needed to lift themselves back up to embrace their best sensational selves, settle into their own gorgeousness with the quiet assurance that they ROCK!  Their own Fabulosity.  This is my mission.

Being forced from the successful career in the beauty industry, and a multiple seven figure business, I had to start again – and this journey has been one that has been interesting, emotional but gloriously wonderous as I have created, faltered, created again – the endless evolution of finding what is next for me and more importantly, for those I help.       Currently I have three main strings to my bow:

Change Your Therapist (my day business)
With my business partner, Daniel, we are NDIS providers offering services to people with a disability who want to improve their social and communication skills.  We do this through our day programs, online programs – including bingo, discos, excursions and more.   We provide a caring supportive and mostly fun environment for our participants to learn, grow and thrive.

ReikLoveJai (my spiritual business)

At a time when my life took a huge pivot, I was forced to outsource ways of managing stress, anxiety, overload and a feeling of limbo.  I discovered Reiki.   It truly helped me reconnect with myself as well as managing the symptoms of the unusual turmoil in my life.  I will be forever grateful for this.

Now I want to share this with others.   With you.

Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Energy; and Reiki practitioners use this energy to help your body help itself to heal through deep relaxation, chakra balancing and stress relief.

As a reiki practitioner I hope to combine my philosophy of love, kindness and positivity to help stressed, tired and disconnected people to reconnect to themselves by providing deeply relaxing, healing & rebalancing Reiki Rituals, through my in studio sessions, women’s circles & meditations – both online and in my beautiful studio sanctuary.

Fabulosity (my coaching, course & membership biz)

Fabulosity began as an online membership, a course called Journey to Fabulosity, a signature move called the Fabulosity Flip and continues to evolve into one-to-one coaching.   Currently closed to new members, you can join and get to know my vibe in my free facebook community :

Anyway, don’t be shy, this multi-passionate entrepreneur loves to make new connections, and most importantly see others thrive.  Girl power all the way!

My Expertise

I am so grateful to have had such a long and varied career in the beauty industry, I have diverse experience almost all the facets :

  • working in and owning my own salon
  • CEO of my own successful Wholesale Distribution business in the spa & beauty industry for over 18years
  • CEO of my own successful & funded RTO for approximately 9years
  • representing several brands exclusively for the Australian market
  • writing a regular column on beauty business for Australian magazine
  • acting as beauty industry expert for media
  • speaking internationally on skin care, nail care and the beauty industry from Australian perspective
  • creating and heading a team of educators for several leading brands
  • representing Australia and judging both nationally & internationally at the Nailympics after retiring from the competition arena myself
  • creating webinars on business, science of beauty & selling
  • marketing my own businesses
  • recently promoting and offering services as an Elite Plasmologist

After being in business for such a long period of time, and facing a whole set of new challenges over the past few years, I have had to learn, evolve and develop my skillset.  It has brought me to clearly think about why I am doing this, and I have found myself going back to my roots, I joined this industry because at my core I wanted to help people – help them feel better about themselves, feel more confident, look better, and have a truer sense of wellbeing.

As my career has developed, I have always had a clear vision of where I wanted to go – and plan and set goals in order to reach them.  This year, I looked backwards to look forwards, and my words of the year is “LIGHT.  ENERGY.  MOTION” but it is my intention to re-connect with the reasons I’m in this game of business, to rejuvenate my passion, and to share that with others.

In this new incarnation of my career, I’m consulting and working with businesses to share my knowledge to give them a different perspective.

My Passions

As a gemini, I do get distracted by bright shiny things.  Being part of the beauty industry, I get to embrace the duality of myself – the compliance and the creative.

My passion truly is to be the best I can be.  I want to be a positive role model to those around me, especially my two darling daughters.

I make mistakes often – but I learn from them. I own my own behaviour and strive to surround myself with people who do the same.  No one is perfect – life would be boring that way, but I strive to embrace the imperfection and find joy from the little things.

I strongly feel that women should empower each other and believe in themselves.  I work hard on a daily basis, subtly often, to live this.

 

 

My Interests

Other than my gorgeous family & friends, you will find that most of my interests often link back to help my business in some way.  I think in order to be successful, this has to be the case.

I love to learn new skills, I love to read (although these days I listen as I travel through my day) and I love to create in my Thermomix!  I am also an airbrush artist, though sadly I don’t find as much time or space for it anymore.

I need to work on my own wellbeing and health, that is one of my goals.

Why I Became a HerBusiness Member

Having been in business for so many years, I have often felt it is a lonely place to be.  Having to make so many decisions on your own on a daily basis is a fact of life, but after recently facing so many changes & challenges in the business world, I really felt like I wanted to find a network, of women predominantly – people who were in the same or similar position to me, who were open to sharing and supporting.

HerBusiness has been that for me.  In particular the roundtables have been a very interesting, somewhat confronting at times (not controntational, but pushed me out of my comfort zone) and a professional but warm, fuzzy experience as well.

I chose HerBusiness because it has a diverse membership base – not all start ups or internet sensations – it is for all types of businesses and business people.   I really enjoy the library of educational materials and the fact that I can use them when it suits me is a huge advantage.

My Member to Member Offer(s)

Whilst I haven’t set a formal offer, but would encourage you to reach out if you’d like to discuss opportunities for doing business together.

Especially if you need a coach, or some stress relief.  Many of our members have joined me for a distance Reiki healing, and have found that most beneficial.  I invite you to reach out.
