Energy Nirvana Healing

Energy Nirvana Healing Healing alongside you ⬇️ My work is trauma-aware, ceremonial, and rooted in the belief that the body is not a barrier to healing ~ it is the gateway.

𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗘 | Space Holder & Guide

I help women soften their nervous systems, reconnect with their bodies, and remember their inner wisdom through somatic energy & shamanic healing, women’s gatherings, and Reiki training. Hello beautiful souls, I’m Chrissie ~ a Western Shamanic Healer, Energy Medicine Practitioner, and Ceremonial Guide based on Macleay Island. I hold spaces for women craving a different kind of healing ~ one that honours grief, listens to the body, and welcomes the deeper stories carried in the nervous system, the womb, and the lineage. Through sacred circles, group ceremonies, and 1:1 healing sessions, I guide women into remembrance: of their voice, their power, and the wisdom already living within them. This is slow, cyclical healing. Reverent, embodied, and human. Not about fixing you ~ but returning you to what was never lost. Chrissie x

So here’s the thing…

I’m not returning to work yet.

Not because I don’t want to, but because my body is currently doing some pretty fu**ed up things that we don’t have answers for yet.

Since my knee surgery in Jan, my health has taken a weird turn and as a result a number of things are now being investigated.

Right now I’m dealing with a mix of neurological, immune, respiratory and inflammatory symptoms.

All of them unpredictable.

Some days I function.
Other days I’m barely functioning.

That’s the reality of things right now.

My body feels like it has fire burning beneath the surface of my skin. It swells, random joints ache to the point where even walking is painful. There’s exhaustion, respiratory issues, migraine, gastrointestinal fun, brain fog & a bunch of tears. All of that combined flattens me.

These are not the same symptoms I’ve dealt with in the past for nervous system injury.

This is completely different.
Different symptoms. Different scale.
It’s a different beast entirely.

My body is reacting to everything right now. Fragrance, food, sound. Even bodywork like massage & physio that in the past has been supportive, has been sending me into a spin that lasts weeks.

I’m also all of a sudden extremely heat intolerant. Which is a cruel fu***ng joke considering I live in Queensland and it’s basically been Satan’s ar****le HOT since October last year.

So the short version is this:

I don’t know what is going on just yet.

My allopathic and holistic treating team are looking into a number of possibilities, with a focus on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), linked to mould exposure I experienced in 2022.

They're also investigating autoimmune issues, thyroid and menopause that is happening on top of it all, because why not add menopause into the mix, right?!
Jesus-H-fu***ng-Christ 🙄

So right now we’re still figuring things out.

What’s been the most confronting is that even with all the tools, knowledge, skills and practices I have accumulated over the years, things that normally support my body ~ none of them are touching whatever this is.

So all sessions, circles, training and events are on pause while I focus on getting answers and figuring out what’s happening in my body.

My work matters deeply to me.
But pushing through this right now would be an absolutely stupid move. Aside from that, I just physically can’t.

Right now my job is to listen to my body, do what I can to support it, while figuring out what the hell is going on.

I’m definitely not disappearing, i’ll still be here posting and sharing but I wanted to share where things are at rn.

And before anyone decides to comment or message with “have you tried…”, please trust that this isn’t my first rideo. This also isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a body doing something really complicated. And with my 23+yrs in as a patient in the holistic natural medicine and allopathic space, I’m already all over it and working with my treating team investigating the s**t out of this.

I’ll share updates when I know more.

The world is truly blessed.

We really are wild, complicated, divine & majestic.

I’m grateful for every woman I get to call family/friend.

Happy IWD!

My last few posts have been different from my usual content.

And there’s a reason for that.

Things in my own healing journey have shifted again.

Since my knee surgery my body has been moving through more change.
Symptoms are shifting, rising.
Some things have declined.
Others are still unfolding and being investigated.

And it’s forcing me to pivot and adapt once again.

I talk often about honouring the season we’re in.

So this is me doing exactly that.

When I started this account, my focus was mostly on sharing the business, the work…

the ceremonies,
the energy healing,
the circles,
the spiritual side of this path.

But lately I’ve realised something.

Many people will tell you how to heal.

They share the insights.
The teachings.
The protocols.

But very few people show you the actual journey.

The messy parts.
The uncertainty.
The setbacks.
The lost hope.
The tears.
The struggle.
The long in-between spaces where the body is still figuring things out.

So I’ve made a decision.

Instead of keeping my own healing journey tucked against my chest…

I’m going to share it.

Because the truth is, I’ve hidden parts of this out of fear that if I’m still navigating illness, people might question the work I do.

But healing traditions have long recognised something modern wellness spaces often forget:

the wounded healer.

Not the perfectly healed one.
The one who knows the terrain because they’ve walked it.

Yes, I’ve healed myself out of some very dark places before.

Many times.

But healing has never been a straight line for me.

I live with chronic illness.
I fall.
I recover.
I find remission.
And sometimes the body asks for something new again.

That’s the reality.

So from here on, I’m opening that door again.

Not just the teachings.

My current journey.

Last weekend we gathered at in the hills of Bangalow for a women’s retreat.

We gathered exhausted, hesitant, and carrying the heavy weight many women hold.

Through various processes things shifted, realisations were had and connections were made.

All of it allowing space for softness.
Tears.
Laughter.
Connection.
Joy.

But what I loved most about the weekend was
the realness of it all.

There was no performance. No women wafting around in floaty peasant dresses & boho hats adorned with cosmic jewellery performing their spiritualness.

Just women.
Of all ages.
From all walks of life.
Showing up exactly as they were.

Watching women release the weight and remember themselves again is one of the greatest honours of this work.

I am so privileged and eternally grateful to bear witness.

Thank you to the women who trusted the process.

And thank you to for sharing beautiful space together.

Spaces like this always confirm how deeply women need space and time to gather, breathe, and reconnect with themselves.

One of the most harmful beliefs in the wellness space:

“If you’re not healing, you must be doing something wrong.”

Chronic illness, nervous system dysregulation, autoimmune conditions and complex health issues don’t follow simple formulas.

And neither do our bodies.

Sometimes people are already doing everything they can.

I once listened to a woman, tell her ‘days away from death’ ACTIVELY DYING family member that they weren’t thinking positively enough and that if they did, they could cure their brain tumour.

They died 2 days later.

So don’t be THAT person.
Don’t be a dick.

For anyone doing everything they can to care for their health, I see you.

The wellness world loves the fu**ed up & arrogant idea that if you just do the work, you’ll heal.

“Regulate your nervous system.”
“Fix your gut.”
“Balance your hormones.”
“Detox.”
“Eat the right diet.”
“Take the supplements.”
“Do the inner work.”
“Work out.”

And if you’re still sick?

You must be doing something wrong.

Meanwhile many people living with chronic illness are spending YEARS seeing doctors, running tests, trying protocols, changing their lives in every possible way…

and their bodies are still struggling.

And then along comes little ole you, who looks at them doing more for their health in one day, than you’ve ever done in your entire life, and you decide you need to tell them that they must be doing something wrong because they’re still sick…

Well my friend, you’re a bit of a c**t.

You need to shut the f**k up before you look like more of a t**t.

If you live with chronic illness, you’re already familiar with this f**kery.

There is something wildly holy about eating cake in a warm bath in the early morning light.

Steam rising.
Skin bare.
Frosting all over my face.

It felt indulgent. Unnecessary. Like medicine.

Years ago, my angel-winged best friend and I would open ‘Succulent Wild Woman’ by SARK at random, and do whatever it suggested. And then we began creating our own succulent ways ~ paint our toes red at midnight, lie on the grass and talk to the moon, we wrote letters in colour, played dress ups, and danced naked, to name a few.

We practiced being succulent & wild.
We practiced being women.

Eating cake in the bath this morning felt like opening that book again. Eating cake in the bath this morning felt like she was right here with me again.

It also reminded me that the Divine Feminine is not only ceremony, devotion & gyrating hips.

She is pleasure.
She is sweetness.
She is mango juice running down bare thighs in summer, frosting on her face & water against her skin at sunrise.

Somewhere along the way, we forget this. We become efficient & responsible. We override the part of us that longs for softness because we were taught productivity is a measure of our worth and pleasure is selfish indulgence that must be justified.

But pleasure is not frivolous. It is how the body remembers safety, how the nervous system softens, how the soul comes back online.

There is sacredness in eating cake in a luxurious bath. There is sacredness in eating mangoes n**e in your kitchen, juices dripping down your arms. There is sacredness in doing something beautiful for no reason other than you are alive, and you can.

Women were never meant to be only responsible, resilient, care givers. We are meant to be succulent and wild, to savour, to feel, to linger inside sweetness without apology.

This morning had nothing to do with cake. And everything to do with remembering her, remembering me, remembering us, and remembering the part of a woman that does not rush and knows that sweetness is her birthright.

If you’ve forgotten her, consider this your invitation. Eat cake in the bath. Let the morning light touch your skin.

You are allowed to be holy and indulgent all at the same time.

You are succulent and wild.

Why do I talk so much about the nervous system???

Because mine didn’t just become “a bit dysregulated.” It crashed. HARD.

My body was having multiple functional seizures a day. Dissociation would take me offline mid-conversation.

My speech would falter, because words were lost somewhere between brain and mouth. My was balance unreliable where was walking like I was tipsy drunk some days. Tics & tremors moved through my body causing all manner of fine motor handling issues.

I had to leave a job I loved, caring for the dying, holding space at the edge of life.

I could no longer drive.
Exercise disappeared.
Independence shifted.

My world grew smaller, more quieter, more fragile than I had ever known.

Since 2021, my life has looked very different behind the scenes…

Neurophysio.
Speech pathology.
Trauma therapy that went far deeper than talking. Layers of somatic work, nervous system repair, and learning how to live inside a body that no longer felt predictable.

And I’m still in it.
Still healing.
Still rebuilding trust with my own system.

So when I speak about the nervous system, it isn’t theory.
It isn’t a trend.
It isn’t content.
It isn’t from a little course I did on Udemy.

It’s LIVED.
It’s FOUGHT for.
It’s the reason I can do what I do today at all.

Do I know all there is to know about the nervous system? No….There’s no possible way. A lot of the nervous system is still uncharted territory - just look at the polyvagal community up in arms rn about recent new findings.

Regardless, I didn’t choose this path as a niche. My body forced me to learn it to survive.

And now I share it so others don’t have to crash as hard as I did to finally listen to what their nervous system has been trying to say all along.

This is why I do the work the way I do.

And I will never shut up about it.

Different nervous system states need different kinds of support.

What helps when you’re activated won’t be the same as what helps when you’re shut down… and what supports you in a calm, connected state is different again.

Regulation becomes more effective when you first notice the state you’re actually in, then offer your body the kind of support it can safely receive.

In my last post I spoke about awareness vs regulation. In this post, we become familiar with the nervous system states.

The nervous system moves through different states across the day: safety, activation, shutdown, and adaptive social responses.
These shifts aren’t random or personal failings. They are protective patterns shaped by experience and perception of safety or threat.

Understanding nervous system states helps us recognise why we might feel anxious, flat, driven, or disconnected at different times. Awareness of these patterns is the first step in nervous system regulation and emotional resilience.

When we can accurately notice our state, we stop using the same coping strategy for every response and start supporting our body in ways that actually match what it needs.

This is where regulation becomes more effective ~ not by forcing calm, but by responding to the nervous system state that’s present.

Reading this information, which state are you often in?

Regulation isn’t the same as awareness.
You can breathe, ground, and “do the work”, and still feel stuck if you don’t first notice what your nervous system is actually doing.

Awareness recognises the state.
Regulation supports the state.

When awareness leads and regulation follows, we’re not just calming symptoms… we’re understanding the signal beneath them.

Today, practise recognising before regulating.

Nature doesn’t force the nervous system to heal…

…it offers a rhythm the body already knows.

Time in nature gently supports regulation, restoration, and healing by reminding the body what safety feels like.
