You’ve probably heard of fight, flight, freeze, please. The first two – fight and flight – are outward, automatic responses. We don’t choose them; they’re our subconscious body–mind going on autopilot, trying to protect us.
The problem is, these react...

In this video I talk about your power to heal, and how important it is to trust in that ability. Our power to heal doesn’t come from the small, separated self. Healing is love dissolving fear, the greater self subsuming the contracted parts of us that...

As we go through these times of change and transition, anything stuck inside us — anything unprocessed — is going to feel heavier than ever.
Trauma is stuck energy, stuck life experience that hasn’t moved through. It weighs us down like a heavy ballas...

Over the past few weeks we’ve explored the roots and trunk of healing, and now we’re moving into the branches – the stage where we connect with spirituality.
By this point, much of the heavy emotional work has been done. We’ve processed old pain, cre...

In this video, I want to talk about trunk level healing — the second stage in the Healing Tree model.
If the roots are where we process raw emotional material from trauma, the trunk is where we bring in our adult self — our psychological understandin...

In this video I talk about the Healing Tree — and why we start at the roots.
The root system is where the heavy lifting happens. It’s where we meet the raw material of our pain — the unprocessed emotions, memories, and beliefs stuck in the body and m...

I've had a lot of people asking about the shift we're in right now—this time of transition that’s stirring up so much in us and around us. I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I wanted to share my current understanding, in case it helps you feel a bi...

There’s an incredible principle that operates in the subconscious mind — I call it “same, same, same.” That means when we live something, see something on a screen, or even just imagine it vividly, our subconscious experiences it as the same.
That’s ...

Lately, everything feels more intense — and there’s a reason for that. The energy on the planet is shifting. Things are speeding up, and with that, our unresolved wounds and trauma are being brought to the surface.
This podcast explores how “extra tr...

So many people ask me, “How do I find my purpose?” For me, true purpose and meaning don’t come from chasing success or accumulating things. They come from something deeper—our soul. When we’re connected to our spiritual self, when we remember who we ...
In this video, I explore how healing isn’t a linear process. It doesn’t just move in a smooth upward line. Inner work tends to happen in cycles—what I call rinse cycles—where something difficult or unresolved comes up for healing. You might feel triggered, emotional, or completely in the muck of it. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and very real.
But if you stay with it—if you face it, feel it, and work through it—something powerful happ...

In this week's video I’m talking about something that affects us all—our early dependency needs and how they shape us as adults. As babies, we’re completely dependent on others for survival, and if those needs weren’t consistently met—through touch, ...

Let’s talk about anger—because anger often has a bad reputation. We’re taught it’s dangerous or destructive, but that’s only one side of the story.
When anger comes from fear, it can show up as aggression—lashing out, hurting others, or turning inwar...

There’s a wise saying: Worrying is praying for something bad to happen. When we worry, we’re not just anxious—we’re actively focusing our energy on what we don’t want. This video explores how our thoughts and subconscious beliefs shape the outcomes w...

In this video, I’m continuing our series on triggering—what to do when old emotional material comes up and overwhelms us.
We’ve already looked at tools like breathing, movement, singing, and Qigong. Today, I’m sharing two more really helpful ways to ...

When we’re activated or triggered, old emotions and trauma surface—and if we don’t know how to manage them, they can lead to destructive behaviours or shutdown. In this video, I share a simple but powerful movement technique rooted in Qigong that hel...

Today I wanted to speak a bit about triggering — those moments when old, stuck energy surfaces in the body. It’s never pleasant, but it’s not bad either. It’s our psyche trying to bring something up for healing. When we recognise that, we can work wi...

How do we know what our purpose is? This is a deep question that everyone asks at some stage. It can drive us for years trying to find that sense of purpose, meaning, fulfilment, satisfaction. I approach it by exploring who we are internally. When we...

You are not broken, my friend. You're simply midway through your healing journey—a soul warrior in human form, navigating the rubble and residue of life’s challenges.
