Jeannie, what inspired you to delve into crystal healing and reflexology, and how has this passion evolved over time?
My passion for reflexology took a profound turn during my second pregnancy. Experiencing reflexology at that time brought about a powerful and deep relaxation, a feeling that captivated me instantly. I was working in a soul-crushing job, and the thought of returning after maternity leave felt like a dark period. The universe intervened when I had an out-of-body experience during a job interview for a similar role, making it clear that I was on the wrong path. Soon after, I was offered redundancy, allowing me to wholeheartedly embrace reflexology, realizing that helping others directly was my true calling. Being a natural caregiver, the back-office job I had didn’t align with my desire for direct contact with people. Once I embraced my true path, I delved into other passions, including crystal healing and lunar living. Now, not only do I offer treatments, but I also conduct workshops and have become an accredited teacher, offering reflexology and crystal healing courses to inspire others to follow a similar path.
Tell us about the workshops and meditation evenings you organize in Southsea. How do these events contribute to the self-discovery and well-being of participants?
In my workshops and meditations, I focus on three key areas for personal growth. First and foremost is curiosity, encouraging an open heart and mind as we navigate the ever-evolving aspects of our lives, including society, medicine, and technology. The second area is clarity; by providing moments for the mind and body to quieten, individuals can hear the whispers of their soul. In today’s busy world, finding calmness is crucial for receiving essential messages. Lastly, there’s connection—while self-discovery often occurs in solitude, exploring connections with like-minded individuals fosters a sense of belonging. My workshops create inclusive, welcoming, and safe spaces, facilitating exploration in curiosity, clarity, and connection.
How would you best describe the power of crystals and the ‘science’ behind it?
Crystals possess a unique crystalline lattice structure that remains constant, making them integral to various technologies. For instance, clear quartz exhibits the piezoelectric effect, generating energy when pressure is applied—powering devices like computers and phones. Certain crystals like tourmaline and kyanite withstand high temperatures, utilized as tools in industries requiring extreme heat. Despite external forces, crystals remain unchanged, a crucial aspect for their application in healing. In a world where our bodies undergo constant change, from aging to traumatic impacts, crystals act as stabilizing forces, restoring the natural balance of energy within our physical and emotional realms. Simplistically, crystals contribute to harmonizing the dance of atoms, restoring energy to its innate state when placed on or around us.
Your journey into holistic therapy began with Reflexology during your second pregnancy. How has this initial experience shaped your approach to holistic healing, especially incorporating crystal therapy and energy healing?
Many of us are conditioned to seek immediate solutions from doctors and medication when faced with issues. However, my first reflexology appointment was a revelation, offering not only deep rejuvenation but also clarity. It prompted a shift in my perspective, emphasizing the importance of holistic treatment that addresses the root cause. Crystal healing, a subsequent gift, filled a spiritual void and provided a sense of belonging. This comprehensive approach to energy healing, a key aspect of my offerings, delves into the core of problems, fostering self-awareness and empowering individuals to recognize the need for positive changes and healthier habits in their lives.
With the creation of the Solecare Healing Academy in 2023, what motivated you to focus on “Finding the Fire Within,” and how do your online offerings, such as the “Awakening You – Journaling Your Way” course, contribute to this mission?
I firmly believe that each individual possesses profound healing capabilities within themselves. My role is that of a guide, assisting you in recognizing the inner fire. Your journey is unique, and once you’ve glimpsed that internal vitality, I’m here to support you in staying on your path. The essence of this fire is your inner power for awakening and healing. The journey commences with unveiling your true self, understanding what ignites your soul. While we engage in mundane daily tasks, identifying what sets your soul alight brings profound gratitude and fulfillment. “Awakening Your Way” is a transformative 28-day course, featuring guided journaling sessions, facilitating self-discovery and enabling you to realign your priorities, ensuring your inner fire remains ablaze.
