Founded in 2003 by Shelley McConaghy, Divine Balance® exists for the purpose of helping humanity to heal and achieve balance, because we're all here to shine our light into the world.
In her early twenties, Shelley learned crystal healing and polarity energy balancing as part of trying to bring balance to her stressful corporate life. She has continued to add to her toolkit over the years. The latest is working with tuning forks—upon receiving an unexpected healing in 2019, ancient memories of working with this form of sound medicine were awoken.
When Jason Engelbrecht came into Shelley’s life in late 2015, she immediately saw his affinity for crystals and that he possessed special gifts. Having already been on a quest to discover more about his abilities, it was the ideal time for Jason to immerse himself in this aspect of his life. Embarking on some learnings, but being guided by his inner knowing, Jason quickly developed his own way of working with the crystals.
Jason first started providing distance spiritual alignment sessions to a friend on the other side of the country. She had presented with very serious ailments, and her medical team had told her it was time to say goodbye to her family because there was nothing more they could do for her. Weekly sessions by Jason saw her up and running again, and back to work and normalcy within a couple of months.
With this confidence, bringing Jason into the healing room to work together on Shelley’s clients became an offering that was quickly and gratefully accepted. Most of Shelley’s clients now see the duo for all their sessions, but it’s still possible to request Shelley OR Jason.
Jason is referred to as a Kurradji, which is one of the names given to an Indigenous Medicine Man. It is also the name Jason’s spiritual mentor Uncle Gerry Bostock used to describe his work. Shelley refers to herself as a high-dimensional healer. Together, they are a Divine Balance of the masculine and feminine, earthy and celestial, Indigenous and non-Indigenous and so much more. Destined to meet and walk this path together, they count each other as a blessing every day.
What do we do?
We’re a marketer’s worst nightmare because what we offer is quite unique and has many moving parts:
Spiritual alignment sessions—in-person and online
Group healings and meditations—in-person and online
Photo readings by Jason with an optional clearing of any lower vibrational energies detected around the person
One-on-one programs online with Shelley to create a menu of resilience builders
Hand-made Kurradji Medicine crystal wands in both clear quartz and satin spar
Energetically Infused Crystoils
A range of crystals are available on the webshop, along with Jason’s wands and the oils
When she has a burst of inspiration (ie time), Shelley will blast out a blog post too.
Jason’s creations are available at a number of stockists across New South Wales:
Gnostic Rocks at Woy Woy
LakeSpa Wellness Centre at Charmhaven
Nyasa @ Cinnabar in Orange
Red Earth Natural Healing Centre at Dubbo
Group experiences known as Kurradji Dreaming have been a popular offering and will return to in-person as soon as the travel restrictions lift. For now, they are still available online via Zoom.
Why book a session with us?
Our clients range in age from 3 to 98 and see us for many reasons:
Overwhelm
Anxiety and or depression
The devastating impact of abuse
Carrying the effects of inter-generational trauma
Energy blocks associated with fertility challenges
Adjustment to big life changes
Feeling like there’s more to life than what they’ve taught to believe
Unsure how to deal with visions and psychic gifts
We’re also seeing an increase in symptoms that are related to having energetic attachments or spiritual interference known as psychic attack. Unfortunately it’s not all love, light, and butterflies here, because we live in a part of the universe where the Law of Polarity applies. So there are entities, energetic vampires, and other interferences that can cause physical ailments and a general feeling of lethargy or worse.
This can be cleared, and we don’t tend to focus too much attention on it or get caught up in the story. To do that simply gives it more energy and it’s not necessary. It’s dealt with, and we move on.
What’s helpful to accompany such a big clearing, is for our clients to strengthen their energy field in daily life with resilience builders. To go away from a spiritual alignment all bright and shiny without accompanying it with appropriate self-care in the form of spiritual practices (to create mental and emotional fortitude) is not advisable.
What does the session look like?
Whether the session is in-person or online, we always briefly check in with our clients to see what they need particular help with, and what they would like to focus on. It’s not uncommon for emotions to bubble up to the surface at this time of sharing and being fully heard without judgement.
All our sessions are fully-clothed—it’s not a massage where we would need access to the bare skin. When Jason is requested for a single-practitioner session, he will always have Shelley in the room with him.
In-person sessions:
There are two options. A full-length spiritual alignment sees our clients relaxing on the massage table for just under an hour covered by a comforting blanket. The half-hour session is called Ground and Connect and clients are seated for this—inspired by the need for quick turnaround at psychic fairs and market events; to cater to all financial situations; and be an option to follow up from a Kurradji Dreaming experience.
Whether seated or on the massage table, there is a crystal grid underneath our client to amplify the energy. On the massage table, our client holds crystals in their hands and has them placed on the body.
Shelley commences each session by setting the space, invoking, acknowledging Mother Earth and the ancestors who have poured their love into her for eons. With his sound medicine techniques, Jason lifts and shifts humbug from the energy field and follows this with a guided visualisation that connects clients deeply with Mother Earth.
Jason then continues using his crystal wands to bring the energy through to dissolve energy blocks and move things along that need to be moved along. Shelley works her way around the body using gentle hands-on healing techniques that allow the body to come to a place of deep peace where trauma is met with the gentle love of Divine Mother. She may also use a pendulum, guided visualisation, and release statements and affirmations.
Clients come away with their chakras balanced, alignment of the emotional, mental, spiritual bodies, and a strong sense of connection. To their spirit, to Mother Earth, and to the energy of Divine Creator Source in whichever way they identify with it.
Our clients often comment that they thought it would be disruptive having two practitioners working simultanously, however on the contrary, it’s like a perfectly choreographed dance.
So much is covered in a session, that some clients come once and feel so fantastic we never see them again. Other times they are working through something that they want the support of a few sessions to shift. We’re happy either way.
During Ground and Connect sessions there is minimal hands-on work, it mainly consists of guided visualisation and sound medicine techniques.
Throughout the sessions, Jason conduits a vast number of medicine people and other beings in 100% alignment with the light. This amplification of his work is an honour to witness, and facilitates deep connection to Mother Earth and one’s own spirit.
Online sessions:
The only difference is that we’re not in the same space, and our clients don’t receive the physical touch from Shelley. What Jason proved when he first started working with clients, is that distance means nothing.
Online sessions are conducted via Zoom, WhatsApp, or regular phone call—whatever our client prefers.

A bit of legalese
This is where we have to tell you certain things to ensure all our legal boxes are ticked.
Our Privacy Policy is available at this link.
We do not work with clients if they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs—that goes for in-person sessions, online sessions, group experiences of any kind, coaching calls and any other scenario. We actually don’t like to be around alcohol or drugs anymore. Therefore if events are arranged in places where drugs/alcohol are being served, we may reserve the right to change the venue or cancel our service.
We are not mental health practitioners, and as such, our sessions do not replace this specialised care. If our clients are under the care of a mental health practitioner, we encourage them to continue seeking their support and guidance alongside any complimentary sessions that we provide.
