Jacintha Survived 15 Years of DV, Now She Heals Families

Jacintha Field spent 15 years in a violent relationship, an experience that shaped her into the healer she is today.

Her story is one so many can relate to, growing up feeling unseen and unheard, carrying deep-seated low self-worth into adulthood, and seeking escape in toxic relationships and substances. A recovering people-pleaser, she once tried to return to drinking after a period of sobriety, only to end up sick over a toilet bowl, realising this wasn’t the mother she wanted to be.

Today, she helps families heal, guiding parents and children toward deeper connection and understanding.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions of trauma, including domestic violence and substance use.
