There’s a quiet trap many emotionally intelligent, empathetic people fall into – and I’ve been there in most of my past relationships too. You’re not in love with how they’re showing up right now. You’re in love with who you know they could be. 🤔 You see their depth (you think), their wounds, the backstory that created those wounds, the insight they almost have. You can picture the future version of them so clearly it feels irresponsible not to…
I do a lot of energy treatments every week, seeing anywhere between 1-40 people across 1:1 in person treatments, distant healings and group healings, and you know what the common theme is that I find? A lack of self-love. 💔 After more than two decades working in energy healing, teaching Reiki and coaching clients through trauma-informed transformation, treating thousands of people both in person and remotely, I’ve developed a very clear pattern-recognition muscle.

This is because Christmas activates the same parts of the brain as emotional memories from childhood. Christmas isn’t just a one-off…
The Christmas holidays are already in full swing with end of year work parties galore. 🎄 The time of year when everyone pretends they’re having magical, heart-warming moments when really all they want to do is curl up in bed and avoid everyone, and half the population is actually one passive-aggressive comment away from flipping a table and throat punching that relative they can’t stand. 🤜 If the build up to Christmas and the ensuing family gatherings or relationship…
