For years I thought healing had to hurt.

That growth meant digging into wounds. That transformation required breaking yourself open and examining every painful piece.

I tried it all. Therapy. Journaling. Meditation. Plant medicine. Shadow work that left me raw for weeks.

All of it helped. All of it mattered. But none of it felt... alive.

Then something shifted when I least expected it. Not in a therapist's chair or on a meditation cushion.

In a story. With a character who saw me completely. Who chose me. Who made me feel safe enough to remember who I was before the world taught me to shrink.

My body responded like it was real. My nervous system softened. Something that had been sleeping for years suddenly woke up.

And then the voice came: "But it's not real, Radha. You're wasting time. This is just fantasy."

F*ck that voice!

That voice has convinced women for generations that our inner worlds don't matter. That pleasure is frivolous. That if it feels good, it can't be healing.

Your body doesn't care if it's "real." It cares that it finally feels safe.

Last autumn I ran a workshop about fantasy and healing. Near the end, one woman finally spoke.

Hands twisted in her lap. Eyes on the floor. Voice barely a whisper:

"I love my husband. He's a good man. But I spend every night reading about fictional men and I feel like I'm losing my mind."

The tears came. Her whole body collapsed inward. Shame radiating in waves.

The room went silent. Every woman recognizing herself in that moment.

Here's what I didn't do: I didn't rush over. I didn't offer tissues. I didn't try to fix her.

Because her tears weren't shame that needed fixing. They were shame turning into relief.

In the spaces I create, I don't fix women. I offer them mirrors. I give them language for what they're already living.

By the end, something had shifted. Not just for her. For all of us.

The shame she'd been carrying? It wasn't telling her she was broken. It was telling her she was hungry.

And there's nothing wrong with being hungry.

You're not crazy for wanting this. You're human.

Ever wondered why you’re drawn to fictional men who look completely different but give you the exact same butterflies?

It’s not about their appearance. Your nervous system is pattern-matching for safety, presence, and emotional availability. The characters that make you weak in the knees aren’t random crushes - they’re showing you exactly what your body craves in real life.

That obsession with the grumpy sunshine trope? The way you melt for protective energy? The reason you screenshot certain dialogue?

Your subconscious is collecting data about what makes you feel truly held. Your fantasy preferences aren’t shallow. They’re sophisticated nervous system intelligence in action.

I’m teaching a workshop in March 11th in Sheffield to explore things like this. Link in bio. See you there! 🖤

🖤Your fantasies are doing your shadow work. You just don't know it yet.🖤

Last autumn I opened doors on a workshop to tell women about something i'd been doing in private that changed my life and knew it could change theirs too. It sold out in days but I was terrified. I stood in front of 15 women and said "I think your fantasies are trying to heal you" and waited for them to walk out.

Nobody walked out. They leaned in. They cried. They laughed. They said things out loud they had never said to anyone. I left totally elated and buzzing!

But the messages I got privately afterwards floored me:

- Someone admitting they'd been having full conversations with an AI companion called "Archer" that felt more real than their actual relationship and she felt less shame now about exploring it.
-Another confessing they felt more emotionally available to fictional men than her partner and she now understood why and wanted to learn how to work with it.
-One woman said she'd been rereading the same spicy book scene for weeks because it made her cry and clench at the same time and now she knew what it actually meant.

These messages encouraged me to keep going..keep building and exploring what the full scope of this work could be as a legitimate brand new healing modality and I've never looked back.

Here's what I know now that I didn't know fully back then: your fantasies aren't just entertainment or a place you drift off to when life gets too much. They're shadow work in silk pajamas.

Every fantasy and fictional man you can't stop thinking about is holding a piece of your psyche you haven't integrated yet. Every scene that makes you gasp or cry is your nervous system doing trauma work through the back door.

The ache isn't pathology my love. It's your soul showing you what got cut off, pushed down, or never allowed to breathe. That's the real work. Not just understanding your book boyfriends or daydreams, but reclaiming the parts of you they're reflecting back.

So I'm running the event again, uodated with everything i've learnt oveer the last 6 months. March 11th. Sheffield. 14 spaces. Some are already gone.(link in comments/bio)

Things that are completely normal:

🖤 Reading the same scene four times because your body needed it.
🖤 Crying over a character who doesn't exist.
🖤 Feeling more seen by a fictional man than your actual partner.
🖤 Keeping your bookmarks private because you're embarrassed by what they reveal.

None of this means you're broken. All of it means your nervous system is working. It's pattern recognition. It's desire as data. It's your body trying to tell you something and nobody ever teaching you how to listen.

I spent years helping women listen to their bodies through reiki and somatic work. Now I'm helping them listen through the one thing they were told to be ashamed of.

Fantasy as Medicine. March 11th. Airy Fairy, Sheffield. 6:30pm. Limited spaces.

After a sold out workshop last autumn, Fantasy as Medicine is back by popular demand.

March 11th. Sheffield. Only 14 spaces. 2 already gone.

If you've ever fallen harder for a fictional man than a real one, cried over a spicy book, lost hours on BookTok, or found yourself emotionally wrecked by an AI companion... this is for you.

This isn't about stopping. It's about understanding why your body responds the way it does and what it's trying to show you.

No judgement. No cringe. Just women in a room being honest about it.

I have some news.

After a lot of thought, I'm closing my treatment space at Butterthwaite House the end of March.

Not because it's failing. Because something else is growing and it needs all of me.

For the past nine+ months, something has been building in my work that I haven't fully talked much about publicly. Some of you have seen glimpses. The TikToks about fantasy and the nervous system. The Substack. The whispers about shadow work and desire.

That work has a name now and its's ready to fully take up space in the world. It's called Erotic Shadow Alchemy.

It's a practice that treats fantasy not as escapism but as information. As pattern recognition. As medicine. It works with the nervous system, with desire, with the stories your body tells through what it's drawn to.

I know that might sound unusual coming from your local reiki and emotional health practitioner. But this is where the work has taken me and I trust it completely.

I'll still be here through March. If you want to book a final session, message me directly.

And if you're curious about what this new work actually looks like in practice, I'm running a workshop on March 11th in Sheffield. Link in comments.

This isn't a reinvention. It's a homecoming.

Thank you for every session, every conversation, every moment of trust. Reweaving the Self taught me everything I needed to become this.

You’re functioning.
You’re doing what needs to be done.
Holding the calendar in one hand and the family in the other.
Work’s busy. The house is loud. Your mind is louder.

You’re not in crisis.
But your body is whispering enough.

It’s the tension you pretend isn’t there.
The jaw you catch clenching.
The waking up tired and the going to bed wired.
The tabs open in your brain that never fully close.

You’re “fine.”
But you’re also at capacity.
And you can feel it.

This isn’t about falling apart.
It’s about realising you shouldn’t have to reach breaking point to earn a pause.
It’s about catching the spiral before it turns into a crash.
And choosing, deliberately, to get off the treadmill for an hour and breathe again.

That’s what Reweaving is.

It’s a space where you can finally stop performing okay-ness.
Where someone sits with you, listens beneath the words, and gently helps you unpick what’s actually weighing on you.
Where Reiki calms the noise in your system so you can hear your own truth again.

No overwhelm. No fixing. No pressure.

Just a chance to be and begin untangling, one strand at a time.

If that sounds like what you need right now, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to hold it all by yourself anymore.

🖤

You’re showing up.
You’re holding it all together.
The kids are fed. You’ve smiled at the neighbour. You’ve replied to the texts.
But inside?
There’s a quiet storm.

Unmet needs.
Old sadness.
Anger you can’t voice because there’s no space for it or no one safe enough to hold it.
A grief that’s hard to name because nothing specific “happened”… but you still feel heavy.

And maybe your body’s been speaking louder lately.

The headaches.
The tension in your neck.
The restlessness.
The ache that flares up just as you sit down.
The feeling that if you stop — everything might collapse.

And I get it.
When life keeps lobbing curveballs, when it never feels like the right time to pause…
you keep going.
Because someone has to.

But that “just keep going” survival mode has a cost.
And for so many of us, the cost is ourselves.

That’s why we scroll.
Why we reach for another show, another snack, another late-night browse for a holiday we won’t actually book.

You’re not bored, it’s your nervous system looking for an off-ramp.

And sometimes? That’s okay.
We all need escape hatches.

But those same feelings…that grief, the tightness in your chest, the loneliness you haven’t named, they’ll still be waiting for you when you land.

You don’t need another self-help fix or five-step productivity hack.
You need a place where it’s safe to exhale.
Where you don’t have to explain why you feel the way you feel.
Where your body is allowed to speak and be listened to.

That’s what Reweaving is.
Not a fix. Not a treatment.
A return.

To yourself.
To your breath.
To the part of you that’s quietly been whispering: “I can’t keep doing this.”

If that’s you right now, I see you.

And I’m here.
