Incredible Journey to Wellness and Empowerment by Sussex Yoga Tutor

Date:

Life shapes us in unique ways, and our experiences — both joyful and painful — mould who we are. But no matter what we’ve been through, I truly believe we can overcome anything, writes Faye Waite.

I’m Faye, the founder of Find Flow with Faye, and my journey to wellness has been anything but conventional.

Raised by my incredible mum, who was widowed while pregnant with me, I grew up watching her train in holistic therapies. She began her journey in 2001, and through her, I learned the power of alternative healing.

When she met my stepdad, I gained a father figure who took me in as his own. Years later, when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, my mum cared for him with unwavering love. Losing him was devastating. I had a breakdown, which led to my diagnosis of high-functioning autism—a revelation that finally helped me understand myself.

Alongside my emotional struggles, I battled endometriosis from a young age. As a teenager, the symptoms including intense pain, vomiting, IBS, and even fainting were dismissed as something to ‘control or stress related.’

After surgery failed to help, I turned to prescription painkillers like Tramadol and Codeine. I felt lost in a cycle of pain and medication, disconnected from myself. Then, a doctor suggested something unexpected: hot yoga. That moment changed my life.

Through hot yoga, I began to reclaim my body, mind, and spirit. The intense physical challenge, the moving meditation, the ability to sit with discomfort instead of numbing it—this practice became my sanctuary. Over the years, I’ve explored countless therapies, including CBT, hypnotherapy, Bach flower remedies, functional movement coaching, reiki, and more.

Yet, no matter what, I always come back to yoga and meditation. These practices remind me that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our emotional and physical responses are deeply interconnected, and true wellness requires a holistic approach.

Today, as a mother to a toddler, navigating a divorce and embracing the next chapter of my life, I feel stronger and more excited for the future than ever. I’ve faced challenges, but I’ve also found resilience, community, and joy. That’s why I created Find Flow with Faye — to share what I’ve learned and help others find their own path to healing too.
