Mind, Body, Soul stuffEp. 20 Chasing Perfection vs. Authentic LivingWhy is living in our authenticity one of the greatest things we can do? How do we do it? What does it mean?
How are we harming ourselves and others by only putting out what is "Love & Light" chasing the illusion of 'perfect' by not honouring aspects of our entire selves including grief - anger, sadness, fear, including the pain, our wounds. Why do we label emotions such as anger and sadness as bad or wrong???

Mind, Body, Soul stuffEp. 19 Cleanse & Protect - For practitioners, healers, sensitives and empathsRecently I uploaded a story on instagram all about the rituals of cleansing and protection especially before and after any energy work. A lot of you reached out and had similar experiences.

Especially after falling unwell during the beginning of my Reiki practice due to absorbing so much.2018-08-091h 04
Mind, Body, Soul stuffEp. 18 Using Sexuality in manipulation and to seek validation: Exploring why we do this.For so long I have been confused with the lack of understanding why we use sexuality in a manipulative way and in the seeking of validation from others. Seeing it all over social media, advertisement, TV, amongst friends, women, etc etc I was starting to question Sexuality and what it looks like to express sexuality from an empowered confident perspective and it was hard to come across such examples.
After hours into the late night researching female psychology, I finally found my understanding. So simple, yet so detrimental to the understanding of ourselves, our worth, our wellbeing and our true...2018-07-1858 min

Mind, Body, Soul stuffEp. 15 Are you highly sensitive? Growing up an empath and embracing itOnce upon a time, and for a long time, I saw my sensitivity as a total weakness. Absorbing everything and everyone's energies around me leaving me with unwanted emotional pain or sadness.
Only after reaching pure apathy was I grateful to be able to feel at all again and then I recognised that this sensitivity is a gift, one that offers great intuition, enabling me to work with people, enabling me to empathise, feeling what others are going through before anything is said, allowing me to then create the space to heal. Growing up an empath made me feel a...2018-03-1859 min

Mind, Body, Soul stuffEp.09 Honouring Our Feelings - Don't Skip The Struggle" Nothing destroys self-worth, self-acceptance and self-love faster than denying what you feel.

Mind, Body, Soul stuffEp.06 Living In LoveWhat is Love? What does it mean to truly live in Love? "To feel Love we must become Love first." What does that mean for so many of us? And what are the ways we can become Love? These are questions I probably never thought about until I one day felt incapable of truly Loving in a relationship. I'd be full of infatuation (mistaken for Love) that quickly dissipated and fell out of 'Love'. Until I realised, and in a relationship, that this Love I was seeking was a Love within me, that the biggest relationship difficulties I was having...2017-06-261h 15
Mind, Body, Soul stuffEp.05 Honouring Your 'Moon Time' Aka Everything You Need To Know About A Woman's PeriodHonouring our menstrual cycle was a practice seen a lot more often in various cultures from Native Americans to Aborigines, Druids and Africans. However along the way, this knowledge and wisdom has been lost to the sands of time and somewhere along the way we have understood that periods are embarrassing, shameful, dirty, an inconvenience. For our partners and ourselves, it can mean the worst thing ever, not being able to understand the fluctuations that occur.
