My name is Nicolette Paige, and I am the owner, founder, and Priestess of this holistic wellness practice. At Soul Child Awakenings, we believe in empowering individuals on their spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional journeys. Through the integration of indigenous spiritual practices, we aim to guide our clients towards finding healing, peace, and purpose in their lives. My own path towards Soul Child Awakenings started back in 2008 when I began offering tarot readings professionally and delved into the study of African Spiritual Sciences. Since I was a child, I have possessed a spiritual gift for healing and communicating with the spirit realm. It is through these gifts that I humbly assist others in discovering their own personal power and finding the path to healing, transformation, and purpose. In my work, I frequently incorporate core spiritual practices such as Curanderismo, Hoodoo, Brujeria, Vodou, Rastafari, and the religious practices of Ifa. In 2020, I was initiated into the Ifa religion, which has its roots in Vodou, Lucumi, and Candomble. During my initiation, I was given the spiritual name "Larada Dìdan Ìmolęìna Aye Afrika," which translates to "She Whose Healing Shines Light On The World." While my journey is influenced by the wisdom of these indigenous spiritual practices, it is ultimately guided by the love and light within my soul and the wisdom of my ancestors. The name "Soul Child Awakenings" holds deep significance for me. From my teenage years, I have always understood myself as a soul experiencing this human existence. I believe that we all have the capacity to tap into infinite knowledge and wisdom, ensuring that our journey of learning and growth is everlasting. I have always felt a connection to a higher power, seeing my soul as an extension or child of this divine energy. To honor this understanding, I began referring to myself as "Soul Child" and even got a tattoo of the name on my neck. The term "Awakenings" represents the profound moments of realization and transformation that we can experience in our lives. One of the most crucial awakenings, in my belief, is that of our inner child, or what I like to refer to as, our inner soul child. By awakening this aspect of ourselves, we can heal past wounds, learn from our experiences, rediscover the simple joys of life often forgotten in adulthood, and ultimately live with purpose. In 2024, Soul Child Awakenings became a collective of practitioners of diverse skills that share the same purpose of uplifting individuals through ancestral healing, holistic wellness, and indigenous wisdoms. That same year, the Soul Child Awakenings Temple Of Imole opened in Kansas City, providing holistic wellness services to the community and a botanica where people can shop goods for the body & soul created by Soul Child Awakenings practitioners. I invite you to join us at Soul Child Awakenings and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Together, we can tap into your inner power, connect with ancestral wisdom, and uncover the path that leads to true happiness and fulfillment. Thank you for visiting Soul Child Awakenings. Feel free to email me at soulchildawakenings@gmail.com for questions or to inquire about services. May we forever be guided by the wisdom of our ancestors, and may we always remember that the most powerful magic one can tap into is their own. With much peace, love, and gratitude…
