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 went to jelly.
I barely heard the rest – something about the recession, tough decisions, nothing personal. But it was personal.
I’d given ten years to that job. I thought I mattered. I thought I was safe.
I wasn’t.
By the time I walked out, my world had shifted – not just because I was unemployed, but because the illusion of security had shattered. The belief that doing everything “right” would keep me safe was gone.
That night, sitting alone on the sofa, I realised something even deeper:
I’d been living on autopilot for years.
And now I had a choice to make.
Choosing yourself isn’t a one-off decision. It’s something you do again and again, especially when it feels impossible. That night I didn’t feel powerful. I felt terrified. My head was spinning with:
How will I pay the bills?
What will happen to my family?
Who am I without this job?
When I told my husband, 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.
In that moment, I knew my marriage was over. I knew I’d been giving my power away for years. And I knew no one was coming to save me.
The years that followed weren’t pretty.
Healing didn’t feel like healing – it felt like grief, rage, and tearing down everything I thought I knew about myself.
I’d been building walls since I lost my dad at 14 – hiding behind responsibility, numbness, and “being sensible.”
I ticked every box: good job, marriage, kids, mortgage. And still I was trapped.
So I started searching.
Crystal Healing. Aromatherapy. Reflexology. Wicca.
I saw clients in the evenings and weekends.
And then Reiki found me.
At first, it was just another tool. But Reiki didn’t just teach me – it dismantled me.
It eroded my walls. It unearthed the grief I’d buried so deep I’d forgotten how to feel.
By the time I became a Holy Fire® Reiki Master Teacher in 2012, the walls had come down. The grief was raw. My truth was undeniable.
Healing is brutal. It will strip you bare before it rebuilds you.
But on the other side? Freedom.
That was the turning point.
I learned that power isn’t control or certainty – it’s trusting yourself when you can’t see 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.
Now, I help others do the same through my signature Sacred Spiral™ framework – guiding powerful humans to master their energy so they can shift their reality.
Because I know what it’s like to feel trapped.
I know what it’s like to wake up one day and not recognise yourself.
And I know what it’s like to want more but not know how to break free.
But I also know this: you are powerful beyond measure.
If you’re feeling the pull, the knowing that there’s more for you – this is your wake-up call.
The Call of the Sacred Rebel is waiting for you – a call to arms for those ready to stop playing small. Grab your copy and start the work.
