I’m currently sat writing this in Costa, waiting for my daughter who is in a nearby cinema watching a film, working my way through a loooong ‘to-do’ list as I build up my holistic business. There’s nothing special about that is there – who hasn’t seen that busy bee sat in front of a laptop in a coffee shop?

Let me add some detail to that – my daughter has gone to watch a film on her own, I did offer to go and see it with her but she knew I wasn’t that interested and said she would go alone as long as I was close by. She’s 16 by the way, but has struggled with social anxiety for many years but acutely in the past five. So much so, that she is now home educated because her anxiety and accompanying self-harm were debilitating and reaching crisis point.

A month ago, possibly even a week ago, she would not have entertained sitting in the cinema on her own. In fact we have missed the beginning, middle and end of several different films due to her overwhelm.

Creating a healing and spiritual environment around her, facilitating healing sessions for her, encouraging her to explore her connection to holistic methods has given her the space to allow her to heal herself. Well, at least to begin the process. She regularly asks me to ‘do the quantum thing’ with her and she is learning about spell casting, the benefits of certain crystals and many other natural and spiritual practices. Allowing her the space to guide her own recovery, alongside some healing from me AND watching me heal my own issues, has been the best course of action for her and us.

I am so proud of her this afternoon and whilst I do operate a bit of a ‘tough love’ approach in situations like this, (I blame the former teacher in me and a bit of northernness ‘you’ll be reet’) she knows I will drop everything and go and get her if she needs me to.

Eighteen months ago, I would not have been sat here being the smug busy bee behind the laptop. And certainly not working through my business building ‘to-do’ list. I’d have had a book, a coffee and a cake whilst I waited. Fast forward to now – I am progressing in my own healing experience and now I’m making that into my career. Not just because I need to create a wage but also because of the amazing direct and indirect changes that have happened to me during my journey with healing energy and transformational actions. I have felt my anxiety reduce, self-judgement be replaced with self-love and confidence, and realised how physical and emotional symptoms can be cleared with the work I do. Tapping in to the right frequencies and realms has cleared leg pain, reduced and eliminated some of my menopause symptoms AND balanced some important hormone levels to reduce my blood sugar hba1c to non-diabetic levels. All this with no particular intentional healing, it has happened as a by-product of asking for what I need in the moment. The energy went where it was needed without me directing it. Amazing. Mind blown yet again even though it shouldn’t be because I truly believe it is magical, all-inclusive and open for anyone who needs it.

That’s why it’s my new career – who wouldn’t want to help others as they help themselves. One rises, we all rise.

So today I am also proud of my journey too. Menopause made me do it, but healing energy was right there holding my hand through it. Thank you, thank you, thank you x

p.s. I managed to squeeze the coffee and cake in there too…
