My Journey

My lifelong research into Energy Work has led me to studying and training in the USA with Clinical Hypnotherapist and Master Practitioner of NLP, Owen Coleman in this ancient form of hands-on healing known today as Reiki. This form of healing was rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui over 200 years ago at the end of the 19th century. Rei means Universal and Ki means Life Force i.e. The Omnipresent, Omniscient Holy Spirit. Simply put, you become a channel or vessel which this Healing Energy flows through. So, whomever you touch with the intention of healing or easing their pain, this Omniscient Energy simply flows through you into the person who needs to receive the healing. I needed to learn more in order to understand how our conscious and sub-conscious minds worked together in relation to this Powerful, Free flowing, Life-Giving Force and also, why we behave and respond certain ways to different challenges that we face in life.

This burning desire for more knowledge led me from a career in Social Work and Home Health Care, to studying Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis at Dr Steve G. Jones’ School of Hypnotherapy in the USA still. This brought the realization that to be efficient in healing others, I needed to be able to guide them to their own light within that would sustain them long into their future; hence the reason I trained further as a Life Coach with Dr Steve G. Jones, M.Ed. To enhance and broaden my knowledge even more, I also trained in Strategic Thinking under the tutelage of Professor Dorie Clark (Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business), a Marketing Strategist and Proffessional Speaker who regularly writes for the Harvard Business Review and is also the author of Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You, and Stand Out. Furthermore, I trained with Dr Todd Dewett in Developing Resourcefulness. Dr Dewett is one of the world's leading expert Coaches and Mentors who specializes in Leadership & Career Development and Public Speaking Coaching. All this diverse training has allowed me to have an even broader perspective on the different modes of holistically healing the mind, body, spirit and the environment (Earth) to bring about peace, harmony and longevity for all.

Now, taking you back to my childhood...

My journey began at 3 years of age when my parents got divorced. By the time I was 5, I was well aware that my life was very different from all my friends’ and that I was a very peculiar child. Moving from place to place every few months meant I couldn’t set roots anywhere or forge any meaningful or long-lasting friendships. As social beings, we learn a lot from our daily interactions with our friends, families, environment and communities at large which helps us adapt to survive. At such a tender age my mind, heart and soul were heavily weighed down and traumatized by my parents’ separation and I didn’t know how to process it at all. This led to so many emotions I couldn’t handle and that made me an introvert as I didn’t know how to express all that I was feeling and thinking. To those around me, all they saw was a sad, moody, sulky child prone to emotional outbursts. I figured, since I’d only be there for a short while anyways opening up to anyone was not only a waste of my time, it was also pointless and fruitless.

Fortunately, my uncle and auntie are a compassionate and God-loving family. They whole heartedly welcomed me and my sister under their loving, nurturing wings. This act of kindness allowed me to experience what is was like to actually have a family and a sense of belonging. They introduced me to Christianity and God’s Infinite Love which opened me up to a whole new world of possibilities. This gave my mind, heart and soul tremendous peace knowing that there was one who loved me enough to die for me. It was as if the long slumbering light had been turned on in my heart & soul; all my pain and deep sorrow simply melted away at the thought of being loved that much. Knowing how much pain and suffering I had gone through at such a tender age; I sought a way to heal the pain and sorrow all the other children of God were living through. I figured it was the least I could do to say ‘Thank You for All Your Unconditional and Infinite Love’.

My Bible became my best friend for it held the keys to unlocking the mystery of healing the Human Soul, in essence healing the mind, body and thus easing the pain I was sensing and feeling in the world around me. This is where as a child I first learnt about Jesus healing with nothing but his hands and I was not only fascinated, but intrigued and inspired as well to follow in his grand footsteps. I adamantly thought to myself; ‘He was human just like me and if he could do all of that, SO CAN I!! All I need to do is learn the artform!!’ My mind was completely made up that I was on this planet to bring light, healing and joy to the world since I’d known darkness at such a young age and had found my light within. I felt duty bound to see my mission through come hell or high water.

With the knowledge, belief and understanding that I would be fully guided in my quest to bring about peace, unconditional love, harmony, healing and prosperity into this world, I set forth on a seemingly impossible mission going on nothing but faith, trust and hope. Not once did I falter or doubt for if I could find and maintain that inner divine peace and light in me, so could anyone IF THEY DESIRED IT ENOUGH!!!
