At the end of each year, I love to spend some time reflecting on the year that's been, celebrating the ways I've grown, noticing the experiences that lit me up, and acknowledging & learning from the challenges I've faced.

It sets me up for the year ahead, so that I can intentionally bring in more of what makes life fulfilling & beautiful.

This is the process I use every year. I hope you find it valuable too 💗

Reflecting on the year that has been is a powerful way to create more of what lights you up in the year ahead.

Beautiful words by  that articulate perfectly my core values around the therapeutic relationship.

The role of a healer is not to heal you. It is to connect you with you, so you can heal yourself.

In fact, I named my approach The Illumine Method™ because it takes you within your subconscious to shine light on what has been holding you back, but has remained hidden from your view.

As you begin to understand yourself more deeply, you realise that it all makes sense. You make sense. There are valid reasons why you are the way are.

And by understanding yourself from this new perspective, you can release the past & develop new, healthier ways of navigating the world.

You set yourself free 🕊️🤍✨

Relearning boundaries is often a key part of the healing process. When you grow up with dysfunctional relationships as your primary source of learning, you can find yourself naturally drawn to similar relational dynamics in a subconscious attempt to heal that core wound.

This can result in attracting people into your life who don’t honour or care for you in the way you deserve.

As you heal, you learn to recognise healthy relating, and anything that isn’t that is no longer acceptable to you.

It gets complicated however, when you love and care for the people who are dishonouring you.

Setting boundaries with these people can be hard, because you know it may hurt them to experience your no, when previously you would have said yes. But despite this, it’s essential for your healing that you do.

By setting firm boundaries, you’re teaching people how to love you in a new & healthier way. Whether or not they choose to grow and evolve into this new way of being is their choice.

The key concept to hold in mind as you try out this new way of being is that strong boundaries, love and compassion can all sit side by side. In fact, it’s essential for the health of your relationships that they do.

The Illumine Method™ is a gentle, empowering way of learning how your relational patterns developed & healing them at the source.

Online & in-person appointments are open now 🤍

When we experience a traumatic event, the natural healing process is to feel and release the associated emotions.

What can happen however, particularly when the event occurs in childhood, is that the emotion is just too overwhelming to handle at the time, so is repressed to be dealt with later.

This ‘later’ often doesn’t come, and the emotion remains trapped as stuck energy in the body, which can manifest later in emotional and physical symptoms of dis-ease.

The key to healing is to release the original emotion AND the associated energy blockage held in the body.

The Illumine Method™ is a gentle & empowering way of accessing and clearing these trapped emotions and energies at the subconscious level where they’re held 🕊

Sessions available in-person in Aldgate & online 🤍

Changing your experience of your life is not only possible, but is easier than you might think.

I read a quote once that said, if you spend your time chasing butterflies, they’ll fly away. But if you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you.

When you focus on improving yourself, everything you want will come to you. We attract based on who we are, not on what we want.

This is why self healing is the most powerful work you can do. It not only changes you, but the entire landscape of your life 🦋🌿🌸

Working on yourself is always the most powerful choice you can make - for yourself, your circumstances and for those you love.

When you strive to become the highest version of yourself, you attract the opportunities, people & circumstances that support you.

If you’re looking for more right now, rather than trying to change your outer world, focus on changing your inner world.

Your outer world will follow ✨

The habitual thought patterns we run create well-worn neural pathways that ultimately shape our experience of life.

This is because they become so familiar to our physiology that they end up running on auto-pilot - whether or not they’re relevant to the situation at hand.

For example, perhaps you have a stressful job with a lot of time pressure so are continually operating in a state of rushing. This can bleed out into feeling rushed even when it’s not needed, or finding it difficult to relax, even when you have the opportunity to.

Often these habitual thought patterns are established early in life & never questioned. You think it’s just the way you are.

The good news is that habitual thought patterns & the neural pathways they create, can be changed.

You can literally create a new experience of life by consciously realigning your thoughts.

How do you do this? By identifying the limiting thoughts you’re holding subconsciously, understanding why you’re holding them & clearing them at their origin.

The Illumine Method™ can take you there 🕊️

Underneath it all you are whole. You are beautiful. You are perfect, just as you are 🤍

The path to healing is to clear away everything that has led you to believe otherwise.

Past experiences, early conditioning, and painful memories can be stored in our subconscious, where they direct our thoughts, emotions and choices.

And by doing so, they steer the direction of our lives.

The The Illumine Method™ works on the level of the subconscious, so you can go straight to the heart of the issue, clearing and rewriting old programs without extensive talk therapy, freeing you to blossom into who you were born to be ✨

Online & in-person appointments available now.

Did you know that the subconscious mind directs approximately 95% of our decisions, reactions and responses?

Talk therapies, such as psychotherapy and counselling often only work on a conscious level, therefore it is up to the conscious mind to try to determine the source of the problem being experienced. However, the real reason may have long since been pushed beneath the surface.

In the subconscious mind, time does not exist, which is why events from the past can continue to impact us long after the original event has been forgotten by the conscious mind. The advantage of this is that we can heal the past at any time - it is never too late.

During an Illumine Method™ session your subconscious will be guided to the heart of the matter, so you can heal and release whatever it is that has been holding you back from your inner peace & joy.

Illumine Method™ sessions are now available in person in Aldgate and online.
