The Inner Shine Clinic: EFT Coaching & Holistic Counselling.

19/11/2025

II had a client last night who was so exhausted, so unwell, and still pushing herself to ‘keep going’ on her healing journey… and honestly? She just needs a break.
Not another program. Not another deep dive.
A BREAK.
To be human. To have fun. To be 3D again.

And I get it — because when I asked for deeper healing years ago, I went through everything at once…
Cancer.
A messy divorce.
My child becoming autistic overnight.
A new relationship.
And then losing my partner to su***de.
It was like… enough.
My soul was done. My body was done.

Here’s the truth most healers won’t tell you:
There is no prize for pushing through endless layers of trauma.
Healing is not a race.
You’re not falling behind.
You’re not failing.
You’re not meant to be ‘on’ 24/7.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is…
STOP.
Pause.
Integrate.
Let your body catch up.
Let your nervous system exhale.
Let the wisdom actually land.

Because healing isn’t a sprint — it’s your whole life.
And your inner knowing already tells you when it’s too much.

So if you’re tired… if you’re overwhelmed… if you’re done for now…
Permission granted.
Take a break.
Come back to joy.
You’re still healing — just in a gentler, more human way.

Healing the physical body isn’t just about the physical body.

We’re living in a time where so many people are struggling with unexplained symptoms, chronic tension, fatigue, inflammation, hormonal chaos, anxiety, and patterns that seem to “come out of nowhere.”
But the truth is… they don’t come out of nowhere.
They come from somewhere deep within us.

We are absolutely in a health crisis right now — not just because our bodies are overwhelmed, but because we’ve forgotten that we are whole.
Body.
Mind.
Emotion.
Energy.
Spirit.
All constantly communicating.

When we only treat the physical layer, we miss the emotional imprints, unprocessed stress, suppressed truth, and old wounds that the body has been quietly holding for years.

This is where EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) becomes such a powerful bridge.
EFT helps you reconnect to your physical body — not just as a machine to fix, but as a messenger with wisdom.
When we gently access the emotional root beneath a symptom, the body finally has permission to shift, soften, release, and reorganise.

Often what lies beneath physical dis-ease is:
• unprocessed grief
• unresolved anger
• chronic people-pleasing
• heartbreak and betrayal
• feeling unsafe to slow down
• old trauma the nervous system is still bracing against
• stories we’ve carried for too long about not being enough

Your body doesn’t lie.
It speaks in sensations, flare-ups, contractions, cravings, and exhaustion — all invitations to come home to yourself.

If you’re navigating a health issue right now, you don’t have to do it alone.
I help clients work with the entirety of themselves so the healing isn’t just physical… it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply empowering.

When we bring the whole self into the room, healing becomes not just possible — but inevitable.

If this resonates, I’m here.

*****Simple Tools to Honour Your Inner Knowing*******
1. Pause before responding. When asked for something, breathe and ask yourself, “Does this feel expansive or heavy?”
2. Use gentle language for your no.
• “Thank you for thinking of me, but I’ll pass this time.”
• “That doesn’t feel aligned for me right now.”
3. Create a daily check-in. Ask: Where did I override my intuition today? Where did I honour it?
4. Reframe self-care as self-trust. Rest isn’t laziness — it’s you choosing alignment over obligation.

💛 You are not here to keep everyone else comfortable.
You’re here to be real, radiant, and true.
Choose yourself — not out of selfishness, but out of self-respect.

Who has had an intense couple of months?? I honour the way you continue to show up for yourself and listen to what your body needs. Even heartbreaks, endings and uncomfortable encounters are part of our evolution. They are helping us refine who we are becoming. Let’s finish off this year with self-respect, softness and clarity - I am here for you!!

✨ Trigger Warning: Su***de & Mental Health ✨

This week marks three years since my partner, Johno, took his own life. September 3rd, 2022. So many lives of those who loved him were changed forever- including mine.

I’ve never really had a public space to share what that was like — for me, for his children, for his family — because su***de is still spoken about in whispers. It makes people uncomfortable. Too often, it is tucked away in silence and shame. But silence doesn’t heal. And silence doesn’t save lives.

I was there the night Johno died. I found him in his most desperate moment. That memory lives in my body. And while I’ve come to a deep acceptance of his choice, I also carry anger — at the systems that failed him, the medication that wasn’t right for him, the lack of support and understanding for his trauma. I question myself - as a mental health professional why didn’t I prevent this from happening- how was I so blind? I know I’m not alone in that anger.

This year, one of my own clients also took his life. Friends of mine have lost men they love. It keeps happening. And it feels like we are still dancing around the truth. R U OK? Day is coming up, and while it matters, it can’t just be one day of lip service. We have to go deeper.

Our men are under enormous pressure. Financial stress, health struggles, the weight of providing and protecting — all without a culture that encourages them to have vulnerable, soul-level conversations. Women have circles. We gather and we talk. Too many men are carrying the unbearable alone.

I don’t write this as a victim. I write this because I loved Johno. Because I still love him. And because I believe we can do better. We have to do better. How many more lives must we lose before we realise that we are all part of the solution — or part of the problem if we stay silent?

And here is the deeper truth: change doesn’t just happen “out there.” We each have a personal responsibility to look within, to sit with our pain instead of numbing it, to heal our own core wounds, to break the cycles of intergenerational trauma that quietly run our lives. When we ignore our inner world, it shows up in our outer world — in our relationships, in our health, in the way despair can overtake us. When we choose to do our inner work, we not only free ourselves, we become part of the collective healing.

To anyone who is struggling: please know your pain is not too heavy to share. Please know your life matters more than your role, your paycheck, your ability to “hold it all together.” And to all of us: let’s not just ask the question “Are you OK?” once a year. Let’s create spaces where honesty is safe, where struggle is not shameful, and where reaching out is met with love, not fear.

Johno, I honour you this week and every week. I honour your children and your family. And I honour everyone who has lost someone in this way — I see you, I walk with you, and I know how heavy it can be.

Death is not the end — I feel that deeply in my soul. But while we are here, alive together, may we finally learn to hold one another better. And may we each have the courage to face our own shadows, so that together, we can end the cycles of pain that keep taking the ones we love.

💛 If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out. You are not alone.

💔 If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attracting the same kind of partner (different face, same pattern)… it’s not random. It’s not bad luck.

It’s your relationship blueprint — the unconscious “map” of love formed in childhood, family dynamics, and early relationships.

The brain clings to the familiar, even if the familiar hurts. That’s why toxic cycles can feel magnetic.

But here’s the good news:
Your blueprint isn’t fixed. It can be rewritten. 🖊️✨

By bringing awareness to your old story, imagining how love could feel, and practicing new ways of showing up, you can step into a relationship that feels nourishing, secure, and aligned.

🌱 Healing starts the moment you decide you’re ready for something different.

👉 Tell me in the comments: What’s the old relationship story you’re ready to outgrow?

Sometimes the very relationships that break us open… are the ones that show us where we most need to come home to ourselves. 💔✨

This mini EFT sequence is for integration — to reclaim the parts of yourself you may have abandoned, to see the awakening in the trigger, and to step forward with more clarity and power.

🌿 Take a deep breath. Tap along. Let yourself feel the release.

You don’t have to stay stuck in old cycles. You can honor the lessons and carry the growth with you. 💫

When the mirror becomes a portal… everything changes.

Not every relationship is meant to last.
But every single one is meant to awaken something in you.

Sometimes the lesson is self-worth.
Sometimes it’s boundaries.
Sometimes it’s learning how deeply you can love.

So instead of asking, ‘Was this relationship a failure?’
Ask, ‘What did this relationship awaken in me?’

💫 Because awakening is never wasted — it becomes part of your becoming.

26/08/2025

Some relationships are teachers.
Some are healers.
Some are catalysts.
And some are mirrors that become portals — awakening us to parts of ourselves we had forgotten.

💡 Instead of asking “Should I stay or should I go?” try asking:
👉 “What has this relationship awakened in me that I can carry forward?”

Even endings can be beginnings when seen through the lens of awakening.

⚠️ Note: This doesn’t apply where there’s abuse or neglect — your safety always comes first.

✨What has one relationship — past or present — awakened in you? Comment below or share to your stories and tag me so we can reflect together 💜

25/08/2025

Reclaiming yourself doesn’t always mean walking away — sometimes it’s about showing up as you inside the relationship. 💫

It can look like:
💎 Saying “no” when you mean no
💎 Asking for what you need without apology
💎 Taking space for yourself without guilt
💎 Letting your partner see the real you

✨ Journal/Share Prompt:
What’s one small way you can reclaim yourself today, right where you are?

⚠️ Note: If you are experiencing abuse, coercion, or neglect, your safety comes first. Reclaiming yourself in a harmful relationship is not the goal — please seek support and help. 💜
