Healing Begins Within, 5000 Blue Clay Road, Castle Hayne, NC (2025)

Brooke was dedicated to her own healing journey for approximately 10 years before becoming certified and starting her own holistic practice. She studied several different religions and cultural belief systems as she sought out what resonated with her the most. Since youth, Brooke also had an interest in Astrology, Numerology, and anything related to metaphysics. She eventually found Reiki, and after attending numerous Reiki Shares for years, finally felt it was time to take all she had learned and start helping others. She received all of her attunements Reiki I thru Master Teacher Level by Pat Vlach with Channel for Healing in 2018. Continuing her spiritual quest, Brooke became a certified Medium and Spiritual Counselor in 2021 by Delphi University of Spiritual Studies. She uses her intuition, connection to Source, and knowledge of symbolism and esoteric arts to provide spiritual card readings using both Tarot and Oracle card decks. Brooke feels her purpose in life is to help others on their healing journey by connecting them with their own inner guidance system, true nature, and Higher Self. She intends Healing Begins Within will soon offer many more classes and services that most people just starting on their healing or spiritual journey, or already in a dedicated practice, and everything in between, can gain something from. Brooke's passion for helping others has always been an innate quality but she didn't realize her purpose would be to use that gift on such an elevated level until later in adulthood. In high school, she was a socialite and honor student with her goals set high. Her life took a devastating blow after her mother committed suicide in 2006 when Brooke was just turning 22. Her grandmother had died when Brooke was 8, also by suicide, which that piece of information was undisclosed to her until she was much older. After her mom's death, Brooke quickly fell into a downward spiral of drug and alcohol abuse, sexual promiscuity, and unhealthy relationships, while struggling with her own clinical depression. She dabbled in almost every drug out there at the time, but her addiction to pain pills lasted roughly 7 years. She was participating in the Reiki Shares during this time, and she could feel something shift within her after each one. Her once closed-off heart began to open and her perceptions broadened leading to a healthier and positive perspective on numerous topics and life situations. She is now 8 years clean from prescription pills and hasn't drank alcohol in 5 years. By overcoming these tragic hardships and more, Brooke hopes to inspire others and share with them what helped her and continues to do so. Any person seeking a healing practice or self-growth is an ideal client for Brooke. She does, however, hold a special place in her heart for people affected by suicide and those in the mental health/substance use population.

⚡️Here are 5 energy draining patterns that empaths can learn to break.

If you’re feeling drained, overwhelmed, or emotionally fried, chances are one (or more) of these are happening:

• Holding space without consent
• Staying energetically open all day
• Self-silencing to avoid emotional waves
• Confusing hyper-awareness with intuition
• Carrying emotional residue long after interactions

This isn’t “just who you are.” That's no excuse for transformation!
It’s a pattern and patterns can be rewired.

Everything is energy.
Sustainable energy comes from regulation and alignment. Most often that means not doing more, but using your energy the way your system was designed to.

DM me ENERGY if you’re ready to break these patterns and finally have lasting, sustaining energy. ✨

Protect your peace.
Embody your truth.
Fill your cup first. 💫

Empaths: Every time you over-give when your soul is asking for a boundary, you abandon yourself a little more.

Most empaths don’t realize this, because over-giving feels like love, compassion, or being a “good partner” or a “good friend.”
But over-giving is not compassion. It’s the performance you learned to keep your nervous system feeling safe.

You weren’t born to carry someone else’s emotional world, fix their patterns, or stretch yourself thin to prove your worth.
You became that person because somewhere along the way, love felt conditional, approval felt earned, and staying small felt safer than being honest.

Boundaries are not rejection. They’re repair. They bring you back into relationship with yourself . The part of you that’s tired of holding everything together alone.

With the right people, boundaries deepen connection.
They teach others how to respect your energy, strengthen emotional safety, and align you with people who know how to give back.
Because healthy relationships don’t require you to abandon yourself in order to keep them.

You deserve reciprocity.
You deserve ease.
You deserve relationships that honor your heart, not drain it.

💛If you’re ready to break the cycle of over-giving and create connections that feel safe and balanced, DM me BOUNDARY and let’s talk about your next step.

Empaths are your shadows hurting your relationships? Ever wonder why some people trigger you even when they aren’t doing anything “wrong”?
It's a huge probability it's an old wound asking to be healed.

Empaths don’t get triggered at random.
Your body reacts when someone’s energy, tone, behavior, or emotional presence touches a wound you’ve carried for years.

Most of the time, the trigger has nothing to do with the other person and everything to do with the part of you that never felt safe, seen, supported, or chosen.

Your shadow, aka ego, shows up to protect you. It's not intending to sabotage you, but if not seen for what it is and healed, it has a high chance of hi-jacking your relationships until you see the pattern.

So when you feel activated, overwhelmed, defensive, or suddenly responsible for someone else’s emotional state, you’re not overreacting.
You’re responding from the younger version of yourself who learned survival instead of safety.

This is what shadow triggers actually look like:

✨ Someone’s distance activates your abandonment wound
✨ Someone’s tone feels like criticism even if that wasn’t their intent
✨ Someone’s silence mimics old rejection
✨ Someone’s inconsistency awakens your inner child
✨ Someone’s emotional drama pulls you into fixer-mode
✨ Someone’s confidence highlights the part of you still hiding

This is all energetic memory stored in your nervous system, which is simply reacting to what it believes is happening, even if the present moment is safe.

When you understand the story behind the trigger, and heal the original wound, you take your personal power back.
Then instead of collapsing, running, chasing, fixing, or shrinking…
you start responding from your healed, grounded, higher self.

Your trigger isn’t a problem to run from or blame someone else for.
It’s a portal for inner healing and transformation.

✨If you’re ready to understand your triggers, break old relational patterns, and respond from power instead of wounds, DM me SHADOW and let's decode what’s been controlling your reactions and help you improve your relationships.

Empaths often confuse deep caring for codependency.

This creates unhealthy relationships not only in romance, but in family, work, and friendship dynamics as well. It leaves the empath feeling empty, constantly drained, and resentful because they gave everything and got lost in the process. It's important to understand closeness built on self-sacrifice isn’t love.

Empaths don’t become codependent by accident. You were conditioned into it.

If you grew up being the helper, the strong one, the peacekeeper, or the one who had to earn love through being good, quiet, or useful…
then emotional over-responsibility became your baseline.

So in adulthood, codependency can feel like love:
• taking on their emotions
• over-giving to keep the peace
• shrinking so they feel comfortable
• abandoning your needs to stay connected
• confusing their approval with your worth

But none of that is love. It’s actually a survival pattern.

And once you see it for what it is, you can break it.

Because healthy love doesn’t require self-sacrifice.
It requires connection to self and others.

Empaths, stop waiting for things to feel better. Shift your vibration and watch your external reality shift to match it.

Your vibration is your most powerful tool. Every single thing in your life is simply responding to the emotional frequency you are holding right now. Your relationships, your next steps, and your greatest opportunities are all mirrors reflecting the energy you choose to embody.

The Law of Vibration isn’t mystical fluff. It’s the foundation of how your energy shapes your reality.

When you continuously vibrate at frustration, fear, insecurity, or jealousy, you attract experiences that match those states.
But when you choose higher thoughts, honor your body, calm your nervous system, and shift into gratitude, clarity, love, and confidence, your entire external world rearranges to reflect it.

Your emotions are signals. Your vibration is the message. Your life is the mirror.

The beautiful part is you get to choose again and again. So if you're reality isn't what you desire, it's in your control to change it.

⚡If you are ready to break free from low vibe patterns and build relationships grounded in clarity and emotional stability, DM me VIBRATION to learn how we can start shifting your energy today.
