When Healer and Hurt Co-exist
I’m a therapist and I have dark moods. I mean really dark moods. If someone were to walk into my therapy room showing the same disposition with which I am so familiar, I would immediately see red flags. There is no safeguarding muscle that would be satisfied until direct questions had been asked. ‘Are you

It’s Not All Talk: How Energy Work Complements Therapy
In parts of the world where basic needs are met and therapeutic support has become less taboo, our understanding of wellness has evolved to acknowledge the mind-body connection. We recognise that good nutrition, regular movement and stress management are essential to mental health. We understand that emotional pain left unexpressed does not simply evaporate but

For the practitioners: Do you really need that session?
It’s easy to look for answers to your questions outside yourself, you’re conditioned to do so. In school the focus is largely on what you’re taught by others and what you can remember. You become used to a collective who has an opinion on your behaviour and Iife: teachers, career counsellors, pastoral care. By the

When You’re Overwhelmed, Seek Land
What a luxury it is, to have one problem at a time. How fortuitous our luck, when a single event or emotion arises, and we have time to witness it in its entirety, to feel its vibrations move through our body, our lives, without distraction. Even as a moment ravages us, and we have the

No, I Won’t Tell You How I Do It
There’s little information in life today that isn’t ultra-accessible or searchable online. We feel entitled to know things, anything, all the time. Beautiful as this thirst for knowledge is, quenching it doesn’t always work out quite so well, especially if the facts are incorrect, or placed into the wrong hands. Within the spiritual community I see knowledge

Pinned Post: What’s it Like Working With Me?
My coaching practice is built on more than offering you strategies or solutions. I’ve created it as a space for you to feel truly seen, held, and supported. It is the most important gift I can give to you. No one arrives wanting to find a better relationship, or reconnect with who they are,

Stop Begging
I recently had an experience with a child who passionately wanted something. He asked me once and I gave my answer, which was a yes, or a maybe, or a later, but definitely not a no. What matters most isn’t my exact answer, but what came after it. There followed, from said child, an onslaught

We Need To Talk About Energy
We discuss energy a lot in the metaphysical community. We want to know the effect of planetary transits or current media agendas. There’s curiosity over whether we’re all having the same experience, and if the outcome will be collective or individual. We question what new waves of lessons and turmoil may be entering or exiting

A History Of Exhaustion
Think about the tiredness you’re currently feeling. Tiredness in any form: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual. Think about how it might change, if something new were to exacerbate it. If a misfortune, challenging and weighty, were to bear down like the proverbial straw on one’s back. Now, let’s say you prevail, you enter restoration mode.

Separating Love & Acceptance
I was speaking with a friend about love. I don’t remember the exact context, or how the conversation began, but it had roots in love being the peak experience of life, of it being what helps to turn the world most harmoniously on its axis. We noted that the love must be unconditional, and then

How Sensitive Is Your Aura?
For some of us, the ability to tune into our auras or consciously use our intuition is a natural part of life. We’re more sensitive to the energy and intentions moving in and out of our field, more aware of what jars with us in any given moment. Occasionally, this gift is born through trauma,

A Forgotten Land – Neutrality
Within our society there is a prevailing belief system that some of us follow with near-religious commitment. It’s the belief that positivity is fundamental to emotional stability, that with a positive mental attitude we can overcome, or at very least numb ourselves to, a majority of life’s challenges. When misfortune materialises – a relationship ended,

Muse on the elements and what they mean to you. Then go wider… expand. The world would have you focus on water, fire, earth, air. But what love have you shared with the minerals? The stones, rocks, pebbles – the ones at your feet daily? They may not have the shine or glint of crystals,

The Inbetweeners
There are people in your walk through life, who must stand out. They will appear to you as if by design, fertiliser to be sprinkled onto the soil of your consciousness. They will arrive wild and alone, determined to grow, to flourish in your psyche with or without consent. And they will not fit

Relearn How to Motivate Yourself
Always and at all times we are in a state of being motivated. Defined as an enthusiasm, or a reason for doing something, motivation drives us, regardless of whether the outcome is positive or negative. One may be motivated to love a partner unconditionally, or to commit an extreme act of violence against them. Irrespective

Ranting vs Shaking Off Excess Energy
There are times when I’m really disturbed; moments where I could be described as extremely annoyed, excessively worried, pissed off. They’re rare, depending on a number of factors – my moon cycle, how much I’ve meditated, who’s involved – but when they come they bring a feeling so big, filled with so much energy, that
