Gold Coast Women’s Health Networking Page, is highly driven to connect health and wellness professionals and to empower the general public with our expert information, so that they are capable to make better health choices throughout their life.
We provide an amazing networking platform for our women’s health and wellness professions. We collaborate with highly informed experts on our weekly topic to educate and bring awareness in our women’s health sector. We recognise the power of knowledge and Anjali (founder) has seen women in countries like Nepal come across many health challenges, abuse, discrimination etc. Anjali herself has lived most of this experience.
The page is not only to focus in one area of women’s health but to be able to empower women in different ways involving health and wellness. This includes giving a voice to women in developing countries such as Nepal. Empowering women locally and in undeveloped countries to be able to utilise the resources, support, uplift and collaborate to learn from our strength and weaknesses. Bringing amazing things to our women community.

FYI this book is not just about my constant challenging journey, it is a reflection of what did I learned from the situations of my past and how this might be helpful for other people and to support them in a similar situation.
· My book starts from my amazing time in my home village, as well as health struggles, that we had to go through due to lack of health care system and generational thinking.
· My parents decide to take me to the city to provide better education as well as health support. Despite my grandparents disagreements towards, a girl getting education rather than learning to be a great housewife one day.
· I struggled throughout my schooling; I have never been the smartest. Always trying to fit in boarding school, desperately holding “good girl” title.
· Along with school, I suffered sexual abuse. This leaded to depression and eating disorder, getting to the point where I didn’t want to be in this world anymore.
· Along the way I met these amazing girls who took me in and didn’t gave up on my weirdness ;) After that things started to look brighter.
· But the pain was still there, and I wanted to sneak out from Nepal and detach myself from everything, even my identity, my origins, my painful past, my old self. I did manage to get a job on a private yacht, OH boy did that give me an experience of my life!
· I did lots of growing up to learn how to buckle a seat belt on a plan, to ride on the escalator, realising that sea water is salty for the first time, to use a knife and fork, speak English and touch on other languages. I travelled around the world, dancing on the bar counter and drinking leg less, you name it.
· 4-5 years later I realised this was not filling my void. I got married to a wonderful Aussie man and had a beautiful child in the South of France. Sounds picture perfect right :) apart from getting disowned by my family in Nepal because I did not follow the arrange marriage system.
· I could not have asked for any better life, but the hole was still there. I started to get triggered more after my second child. And it got worse once my girl started to do sleepovers worrying about, what if someone touches her? After that I started working on myself and a healing journey.
· Slowly after working on myself, I realised how I always wanted to be voice for women who needed support. Then one strong step to another, now I have founded this page. Women are not only supported in health but also empowered, educated, encouraged, loved and cared for within an amazing supportive community.
