I never thought my life would change in a single sentence. But then my boss looked me in the eye and said, ‘I have to let you go.’”
The air in the room turned heavy. My stomach twisted. My legs felt like jelly.
I barely heard the rest of his words – something about the recession, tough decisions, nothing personal. But it was personal.
I had given ten years to this job. I thought I mattered. I thought I was safe.
I wasn’t.
By the time I walked out of that office, my entire world had shifted.
But the worst part? I wasn’t just losing my job. I was losing the illusion of security – the belief that if I did everything ‘right,’ I would be okay.
That night, as I sat alone on the sofa, my husband snoring upstairs like nothing had changed, I realised something even deeper.
I had been living on autopilot for years.
And now? I had a choice to make.
That was the moment I chose myself.
But let me be honest with you – choosing yourself isn’t a single decision. It’s a choice you make again and again, especially when it feels impossible.
Because that night, I wasn’t sitting there feeling powerful or enlightened. I was full of fear. My stomach was in knots. My mind raced with questions I couldn’t answer.
How would I pay the bills? What would happen to my family? Who was I, without this job?
And the worst part?
When I finally found the strength to tell my husband what had happened, his only response was: “What are you going to do about it?”
Not “We’ll figure it out together.”
Not “I believe in you.”
Just that one, cold question.
And in that moment, I knew.
I knew my marriage was over.
I knew I had spent years giving my power away.
I knew that no one was coming to save me.
I didn’t wake up the next day with a plan. There was no “aha!” moment where everything clicked into place.
There was just me. Alone. Exhausted.
Wading through fear, self-doubt, and the deep, gut-wrenching belief that I wasn’t enough.
And here’s the thing no one tells you – healing doesn’t feel like healing at first.
It feels like grief. Like rage. Like tearing down everything you once believed about yourself and standing in the ruins, not knowing who you are anymore.
For years, I had built walls around myself. After my dad died when I was 14, I locked my heart away behind practicality, responsibility, and numbness.
I had done everything society told me to do.
Good job.
Marriage.
Kids.
Mortgage.
And yet, I was still trapped.
So I did what I had always done – I survived. I got another job. I played it safe. But something inside me had already shifted.
And that shift? It was the beginning of everything.
At first, I didn’t even realise I was searching for something deeper. I just knew that if I didn’t change, I was going to disappear inside myself.
So I started with small things – reading, learning, exploring.
I took courses in Crystal Healing, Aromatherapy, Reflexology.
I saw clients in the evenings and weekends.
I dabbled in Wicca, searching for something that felt like home.
And then, Reiki found me.
At first, I thought it was just another healing modality. Another tool to add to my belt. But Reiki didn’t just teach me – it dismantled me.
It eroded the walls I had built.
It unearthed the grief I had buried so deeply that I had forgotten how to feel.
And in 2012, when I completed my Master level, the walls came crashing down.
The pain hit me like a tidal wave. The grief of losing my dad.
The anger at how I had silenced myself for years.
The realisation that my marriage was over, and that I was in love with my best friend – the one person who had truly seen me all along.
And let me tell you – healing is brutal.
Anyone who tells you it’s easy is lying.
It will rip you apart before it rebuilds you. It will force you to face every shadow, every wound, every lie you’ve ever told yourself.
But on the other side? Freedom.
For the first time, I understood what power actually meant.
Power isn’t control. It’s not certainty.
It’s trusting yourself, even when you don’t know the outcome.
It’s choosing yourself, even when it terrifies you.
It’s reclaiming your energy, your alignment, your soul.
And that’s exactly what I did.
I built a life and business on my terms.
No boss. No limits. No waiting for permission.
And now?
I help others do the same.
Because I know what it’s like to feel trapped.
I know what it’s like to wake up one day and realise you don’t even recognise yourself anymore.
I know what it’s like to want more but not know how to break free.
But I also know that you are powerful beyond measure.
And if you’re feeling the pull – the knowing that there’s more for you – this is your wake-up call.
But before you take your next step, there’s something you need to know.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, blocked, or like something is holding you back, it’s not in your head.
It’s in your energy.
I created the Energy Alignment Code to help you pinpoint where your energy is leaking, where you’re out of alignment, and what’s keeping you from stepping into your power.

Because this? This could be the moment everything changes.
You just have to say yes.
