“I began to realise there was more to life than what we can see after my first near death experience.”
I always knew I was a strange child. I could hear and speak to animals. I could see future events before they happened. I always thought it was just my imagination until my life was completely changed by my first near death experience.
I was a mum of two young children, working for a charity in central London. I was in the full flow of the daily 9 till 5 routine until a completely normal day turned into anything but. I was rushed into hospital after being knocked down by a car on a pedestrian crossing. The hospital confirmed I had officially died on scene and was resuscitated multiple times.
While all this trauma was going on, I remember at the time feeling calm. I had stepped outside of my body. I didn’t know that I had died but I could see everything that was going on. Looking down upon the scene, I could see the shopkeepers rushing out with towels, the paramedics arriving on scene and my partner turning up panicked. This was the start of my spiritual journey.
“While this wasn’t my first encounter with spirit, it was the first time I had no choice but to acknowledge them.”
The accident came at a time where I felt completely disconnected from myself, my journey and a bigger belief system. It felt like I was given a (literal) big shove to wake me up from the slumber of the rat race.
During my four years of recovery I kept trying to make sense of the information I had received during my near death experience. I also needed to find ways to mentally and physically recover from the trauma. I turned to religion and then to formal studies in counselling, neuro-linguistic programming, mindfulness and emotional freedom techniques (EFT). I still felt my experience was unexplained.
I could feel my connection with spirit getting stronger as I went on this journey of discovery. With every step I felt confirmation that I was on the right path and I was pulled deeper into my spiritual research. I began attending workshops at the Arthur Findlay College, The College of Psychic Studies and the Omega Institute in America. I then trained as a Past Life Practitioner in America with the world famous Dr. Brian Weiss, author of “Many Lives, Many Masters”, and gained my qualification as a Reiki Master. Every experience along this journey felt like a calling.
In my work now, I combine all of my learnings to offer really unique holistic consultations. The hardships that I have experienced have truly sculpted me into who I am today. I feel it is my calling to give back and help others.
