I am an energy healer, who uses the Body Consciousness® healing system to identify what physical, emotional, chemical, neurological stresses are occurring in a body. I work with individuals/ couples/ families with the purpose of creating greater connection, authenticity, health, togetherness and vitality in families. I equip clients with the tools to be able to create freedom and independence within family. I also have recovered from Chronic Fatigue after suffering with it for 8 years. I believe this is due to my determination and the Body Consciousness system which enabled me to discover more of myself, as well as love myself. I also draw on my 12 years of teaching as a high school teacher.

I love helping people to find/step onto their path!! Perhaps this is because I spent a few years completely off my path. I had stopped valuing ME and instead sought to please others, all to the detriment of my health. Looking back, I felt so much discomfort in my body during those years but I chose to ignore it. It eventually manifested in Chronic Fatigue for 8 long years!! I buried all of my feelings deep down so they couldn't be felt until I felt nothing/numb. It felt easier/safer not to confront what I was feeling. My greatest fear was that if I spoke up and shared authentically that I would lose love!! One of the most important lessons I have learnt from this is to always speak up in your relationship/partnership. I share everything with my husband: feelings, ideas, fears, insecurities, frustrations, when I'm not feeling valued or I'm not valuing myself, my excitements, what I need etc!! Opening up/speaking up and "leaning into discomfort" (Brené Brown) has always created a much closer connection!! Sending you so much love and joy xx

If you are willing to authentically open up, share and ask for what you need in family, it can be a space for you to feel free to be all of YOU!! I have found being in family at times really challenging and even thought, life would be so much easier on my own!! However, I feel at times, this thought has come from not always speaking up with what I need to give myself in family. Sometimes, I have had to experience some challenging spaces to be reminded that I'm not honouring who I am. Now I do whatever it takes to create freedom for myself in family, because it is what makes me feel happy!! For example, ask for help, ask family to babysit, pay babysitters, daycare, designated time each week for me to exercise and have time on my own etc. If you're not feeling happy in family, perhaps ask yourself what is it that I need to feel happy?? Secondly, be courageous and share this with your family. I'm sure that you can all come up with some great ideas on how you can give yourself what it is you need. You may just need to really think outside the box!! Sending you lots of love and joy xx
