About Me

Natural healer, spiritual teacher, artist and inspirational music creator

I began my journey as a healer after a life-changing experience: while struggling to conceive a child, I discovered the transformational power of crystal healing. This profound healing put me on a deeply spiritual path of self-discovery. I began exploring numerous holistic approaches to physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

Driven by curiosity and purpose, I engaged in research and undertook several professional qualifications in holistic therapy and wellness. Each step led me nearer to understanding the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and strengthened my desire to help others on their own healing paths.

​

The Spiritual Sanctuary is the culmination of my journey—a space I created to offer healing, guidance, and support to all who seek it. Here, I blend my personal experience, spiritual insight, and professional training to create a nurturing environment where others can find balance, clarity, and renewed well-being. My deepest desire is to help others come back to themselves, to reconnect to the light that lies within all of us; this is where the most profound healing takes place.

My Philosophy

I am a firm believer that healing begins from within. There is an ancient saying, "As within, so without", meaning that our world is a reflection of what we think, believe and are feeling inside. If we are in a constant state of negative thinking, those thoughts draw negativity to us and create situations that are stressful. High levels of stress can create many health problems and illnesses.  In order to create better physical, mental and spiritual health we need to create a better life, in order to create a better life, we first need to heal our negative thoughts, beliefs and life choices. Once we can master this the Universe responds accordingly and life begins to flow with more ease, drawing to us situations and opportunities that bring us happiness and fulfilment. It is in this state of being that optimum health and well-being can be achieved.

My Journey

Around 14 years ago, I had Crystal Healing to help with fertility issues I was experiencing. A friend introduced me to a woman who practised this healing technique, as well as past-life regression and psychic work. She helped me through a difficult time, and using her natural gifts as a healer, I successfully conceived a beautiful, healthy daughter. Words could never describe the gratitude I felt for what she had done for me; I felt incredibly blessed, and it inspired me to pursue my own spiritual calling. I've always been an intuitive empath, but I never really understood what I was experiencing. I struggled through most of my teenage years with severe anxiety-related mental health issues, including undiagnosed ADD, OCD, dyslexia, and Bulimia. My wellbeing was never addressed, and I had to work through my poor mental health alone. It wasn't until I began opening up to spirituality in my late 20s that my mental health began to significantly improve.

​

I began my journey by joining a spiritual development group, which I attended for over four years. I learned to understand and work with my own psyche and that of spirit. I took classes and workshops in psychic development and mediumship, and I read many spiritual books to broaden my understanding of spirituality. By 2012, I had completed Reiki first and second degree, and three years later I enrolled on a two-year crystal healing course and learned how to work in harmony with nature by using the powerful energy of crystals.

​

Those years of development drew me closer to my higher path and purpose, but I was holding on to parts of my life that no longer served me and blocked my progress. My reluctance to let them go or even identify them meant my higher self had to work closely with the Universe to synchronise events that would move me forward to what I now know to be my true Soul purpose in this lifetime. What I thought at the time was merely a life crisis was actually an intense spiritual awakening, with Kundalini rising.

​

This awakening began in 2018 after things took a very unexpected turn.  My life had become very emotionally stressful up to that point, and I'd been through some deep trauma. I had lost my father to a physically and mentally debilitating illness which he painfully endured for many years. I spent the last week of his life sitting day and night by his hospital bed, watching him slowly die. Seeing him suffer in this way had left me with some very traumatic memories of his last days, and his passing had taken its toll on my emotions, but at the time I had locked away my grief in order to support my mother and the rest of my family. So when it finally did catch up with me, it hit me hard, and I was diagnosed with clinical depression with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. I had counselling and did my best to use my knowledge of natural healing to help myself. Within 10 months following my initial diagnosis, I had left my husband and moved out of our family home to start over in a new area with my two children. In the months that followed, I began to release old friendships, habits and beliefs that I came to realise were unhealthy for me, and I worked hard on healing myself.  I worked closely with my guides in the spirit world and the Angelic realms and followed their guidance without question. I learned to completely trust them and myself. I believe that sometimes it takes a hugely challenging life event to wake up the Soul, and I now know that what I went through helped me to recognise what I needed to change in my life and what needed to be released for my highest good.

​

The energy of Kundalini rising spontaneously is very rare and usually happens only as a result of dedicated, deep spiritual practices such as Kundalini Yoga. However, certain pre-destined life events can trigger this phenomenon. The energy of Kundalini, as it passes through your spine and pierces each of the chakras, can be incredibly painful and traumatic, as old negative beliefs, patterns and traumas from all lifetimes are brought to the surface to be released. If we fight the process out of fear, or we simply don't understand what is happening, it can be very debilitating, and often people mistake it for anxiety or other mental health illnesses. I meditated every day and was guided to tools and information that would help the process. I used techniques to clear my energetic system and release past life trauma, as well as trauma which I had accumulated in my energy from this life. The release work I did was incredibly hard, and I would spend days crying uncontrollably and having intense pain in my heart chakra. I also had sudden moments of being physically sick after working on the lower chakras, and there would be days of having painful headaches, head pressure or feeling disoriented as the energy was pushed up for release. I experienced pain in my lower back and hips as I began to let go of my emotional baggage, and I felt at times my whole body was vibrating from the core. Some days I just felt like I no longer belonged on this earth; I felt I lost all sense of purpose or belonging, and I just wanted to go 'home'. These symptoms would pass as quickly as they came, but it was exhausting work, and as I worked through releasing old wounds, the symptoms would become less frequent and intense. It brought up many childhood issues I had locked away, and I began to see past life traumas in dreams and meditation. I worked on past life contracts by visiting the Akashic records through meditation and discovered those with whom I had soul contracts that were no longer serving me. I was guided to ways of dealing with those contracts and releasing them. I was also made aware by spirit that I needed to clear ancestral karma, which I successfully did with their help and guidance.

​

As my self-healing progressed, I became more intuitive than ever before, and I found myself just 'knowing' what to do next. My guides have been with me every step of the way, but I have become much less reliant on them and more in tune with the wisdom of my own soul. 

​

I have learned a great deal from my journey, and I finally feel in a place of inner peace and security. My soul is still working towards the ultimate goal, but I am now heading along the path to fulfilment. It is my wish to pass on the knowledge I have gained through my own experiences in the hope that it will guide others and help them on their own healing journey.

​

Love, light and blessings.
