I’ve been a healing professional for decades. Years ago, I trained as a holistic nutritionist. Back then my inspiration was my son, who was diagnosed with a minor heart defect when he was about two years old. (As a 26 year old man, he’s in great health now, in no small part due to what I learned and taught him about proactive health care.) But my motivations have changed several times over the years. And yet, I’m still here. But here’s why now.

Because for a while, I was lost.

After many years in my career though, I wasn’t feeling it anymore. I noticed that women were more addicted to being unfit and unhappy than they were inspired to do anything about it. (Sorry, not sorry)

To say that I went through a professional and spiritual crisis would be an understatement.

I couldn’t figure out what was causing the energetic stuckness problem for women, let alone how to help.

And then I did.

Here’s why now:

It came to me as I was about to welcome my first grandchild into the world. I was walking along the canal near my home, saying a prayer for the baby’s safe arrival, and making my commitment to the wee one.

And as I spoke my commitment, I heard the words that I was saying.

I realized that the world needs healing. Energies are out of balance. There’s too much masculine competition, division, and fighting leading to isolation and fear, and not enough heart, collaboration, connection, and wisdom.

In other words, the world is suffering because the energy of the divine feminine has been suppressed for much too long.

Here’s why now:

We’ve embraced logic over intuitive ways of knowing, and emotions.

We’ve determined that having more, doing more and working non-stop to accumulate things is more important than connection and relationships.

We’ve allowed an “us versus them” culture to thrive.

We’ve suppressed the right to choose our own paths.

We’ve let anger and fear run the show.

Let’s be honest: the world is unwell. People are unwell. And we can’t expect the same patriarchal systems that created the problem to solve the problem.

And maybe you’re feeling the rise of the divine feminine in yourself. Maybe you’ve started to question the so-called social “rules” and expectations.

Maybe you’ve started to think there must be a different way forward.

Maybe you’re feeling the stirrings of your soul, urging you to return to your sacred path.

Becoming a grandmother re-activated my own soul’s purpose.

As a shamanic energy practitioner, my focus is on helping women heal from social and generational wounds, to step into their wisdom and divine feminine energy, and to realign with their purpose and vision. As a wellbeing researcher and women’s soul alignment coach, I make it practical, and do-able.

Here’s why now:

For our children and our children’s children.

And so it is.

Sending you love,

Lisa
