15. “Less than two years ago I was searching for something, and at the time I didn‟t
know what that something was, yet hoped for a magic wand or miracle pill that I
could use to transform my life. When the Akashic Records fell into my lap I
knew it was the missing piece I had been awaiting. Little did I know then, that a
single modality could have such an instrumental effect on my life. At the time, I
was struggling with issues around self definition, worthiness and visibility. All
my life I felt as though I was physically intact yet essentially empty inside. I was
conforming to expectations of others and trying to „fit in‟ while dismissing my
internal voice and this led to inner turmoil. I internalized this as constantly
thinking something was wrong with me and as a result, found it easier to live
my life according to somebody else‟s rules rather than creating my own.
Now I have transformed my life by shedding antiquated thought patterns and
allowing my true identity to emerge. My perception of life events is completely
different and I realize how easily I can create the life I want, and do so from a
place of empowerment. An invaluable part of my journey has been awakening to
the fact that we are responsible for creating our reality, thus I choose to create
one of joy, love and abundance.
How does this relate to you?
Having experienced such a pivotal personal transformation, I now commit to
helping others do the same. It is my desire to share what I have tapped into –
that source of innate, infinite joy which is fundamentally your birthright. I am
available to assist and guide you to a life of freedom, possibility and creation. I
invite you to release the old, heavy, unnecessary load of limiting beliefs that you
are no longer required to carry. Patterns such as „I can‟t do it‟ or „What will
others think of me‟ or „I was always told to do it this way‟ no longer serve you,
nor can they exist in a life of personal empowerment and confidence.”
