Long (& honest) Post Alert 🙈✨
So it’s been a while since I’ve shown my face on here, and I just want to update everyone on what’s been going on behind the scenes…
Over the last couple of months, I’ve been slowly transitioning from running my business full-time to going back into paid employment in my old job. It might seem unexpected, but after some evaluating, I realised it was actually what I needed for myself at this time.
So, a bit of background: I returned to work very quickly after having Amira due to having the shop and regular clients. Because I loved what I do, I always made time and space for it, and as my reputation grew and I got more referrals, I got busier with clients. I eventually went into running my practice full-time.
But when you turn your hobby and passion into something you do full-time to make a living, it suddenly adds this whole extra layer of pressure onto the things you love. I absolutely love my client sessions, my workshops, and my trainings. But when it came to the other sides of running a now fully-fledged business, I found that transition difficult. Suddenly I was having to think about content creation, social media, algorithms, and constantly feeling the pressure to put out new offerings… and it’s just not me. I’m a healer. I’m an empath. I’m an intuitive. I’m not a social media machine.
Being self-employed is not for the faint-hearted. It pulls on all your creative energy, all your resources, and a hell of a lot of your time and energy. And when you work with energy healing, you have to be mindful about maintaining some energy for yourself. Over time, it led me to feel burnt out, anxious, and stressed.
If there’s one thing I know from doing this work for so long, it’s how to identify when your body is telling you something isn’t right. And when you’re suffering burnout, you have to look at the things you can control. For me, the biggest thing was my work schedule, because even though being self-employed gave me more “free time,” it didn’t give me freedom in my mind.
The universe must’ve been listening, because I was offered my old job back in management full-time, and it took me all of a day to decide to go for it. Honestly, the pressure that’s been lifted from my shoulders since making that choice is immense. It means I now have a clear separation between work and home. It means I can be more present with Amira. And it means I can actually love and enjoy what I do as a devotion and passion, not something I have to rely on to support myself and my family.
So looking ahead, this is what it will look like: I will still be seeing my regular clients. I will always try to make space for those who need healing. I’ve removed my booking system, so it will likely be referral-only or by message. I’ll still run a few group Reiki sessions in the new year because I believe Reiki is such an important gift to share. I’ll still be taking my wonderful crystals to Treacle Market on Sundays. But outside of these things, my practice and devotion have gone back to being mine, and I love that for me 💖
Thank you to everyone who has been with me and supported me on my path, I’ll still be here to support you through healing and spiritual awakenings 🥰
