This isn’t just a fundraiser, it’s part of my healing story.

I’ve lived with anxiety, bipolar disorder, social anxiety, PTSD, and an eating disorder. These weren’t just chapters, they were years. Years of feeling unseen, unheard, and overwhelmed.

One of the things that truly helped me was therapy through NHS Talking Therapies Hampshire (formerly iTalk), a service run in partnership by Solent Mind and Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust. I received support from them for several years, and it helped me build stability, gain tools, and slowly return to myself.

That’s why I’m raising money for Solent Mind—because I know how crucial their work is. They offer mental health support to people across Hampshire, from counselling and peer groups to wellbeing workshops and urgent care.

A portion of the proceeds from selected treatments at Alina Holistic Health & Training will go directly to Solent Mind.

It’s my way of giving back to the system that helped me, and helping others find light through the fog.

If any part of my story resonates, please consider donating, booking a session, or simply sharing this page.

Someone out there needs to know they’re not alone.

With love, lived experience, and deep gratitude,

Alina
