The journey so far....

Eighteen months ago, my husband and I packed up the life we had built over 20 years in the Whitsundays and began a new chapter in the Shoalhaven on the beautiful south coast of New South Wales.

Before we left, I fulfilled one of my long-held dreams by establishing my energy healing business and completing my Reiki Master Teacher and Pellowah certifications. I arrived with a clear vision of creating a gentle space where others could reconnect with themselves through healing.

Within months, I had found exactly that. I met incredible like-minded people and connected with the beautiful owner of Meraki Home & You, who welcomed me into her peaceful wellness hub to offer Reiki and Pellowah sessions.

From the outside, it looked as though everything was unfolding perfectly.

But life has a way of reminding us that dreams don’t always follow the timeline we imagine.

As much as I wanted to devote myself fully to my healing practice, the reality of starting over in a new town meant I needed the security of a full-time job. More than a year later, I continue to juggle the demands of home life, a challenging full-time career, and slowly building a business from the ground up. At times, it has felt as though my healing practice has been slipping quietly into the background as my workload has grown.

Then came the recent Strawberry Full Moon.

I found myself reflecting on the path that had brought me here—not through the lens of what I hadn’t achieved or where I think I should be, but through the lens of everything that had quietly unfolded.

What I saw surprised me.

Since arriving in the Shoalhaven, I have connected with remarkable people who have enriched my life. I designed, created and sold most of the first print run of my Children’s Affirmation & Crystal Card Sets. I launched my website, Sublime Energy Healing. I developed my Energy Empowerment for Kids framework, created HEart—a gentle, intuitive pathway that supports emotional and energetic wellbeing through art at every stage of life—and I am now bringing my Art of Being adult card deck to life.

When I looked at the bigger picture, I realised I hadn’t been standing still at all.

Although my client base at Meraki has felt slower to grow than I had hoped, I also realised something unexpected. Perhaps I am exactly where I need to be. Perhaps my clients, for this season, are not only those who walk through the doors of the wellness hub, but also the people I spend my weekdays alongside—my colleagues, many of whom are navigating their own challenges and quietly searching for moments of support, balance and self-care.

Sometimes our purpose doesn’t disappear.

It simply changes shape.

This journey has reminded me that growth isn’t always measured by numbers, bookings or milestones. Sometimes it is measured by the people we touch, the seeds we quietly plant, and the trust we develop in allowing life to unfold in its own perfect timing.

I’d love to hear about your own journey.

Have you ever looked back and realised you were making far more progress than you gave yourself credit for? What season of life are you navigating right now?

In healing and harmony✨
