Can you elaborate on your own journey of self-discovery and how it led you to create this platform?
My own journey of self-discovery has been a long and colourful one! But I truly believe it was necessary in order for me to be in this position right now to help people navigate the way through to their true potential, with strength and confidence. I spent my early adult years working in the corporate world of sales & recruitment before stepping out into the unknown world of self-employment. Following my passions in the Health & Fitness industry as a Personal Trainer & Nutritionist without doubt created a strength and resilience, both mentally and physically, that I doubt would have happened if I stayed in the corporate world. I made all the mistakes, trusted all the wrong people, both in my personal and professional life. I spent many years feeling completely lost whilst on the outside looking as if I had control of everything.
This lack of understanding of who I actually was and what my purpose in this life was supposed to be, led to many experiences over the years that piled up and up, resulting in being diagnosed with Complex PTSD.
By this time I had developed a much deeper understanding of who I was and traditional therapies just weren’t for me. I wanted to fix it myself, pull myself out of this darkness without spending hours talking about it and getting nowhere. As the saying goes, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear” and from me knowing deep inside there had to be a way to fix this, the teachers started showing up. From understanding the ego and the power of forgiveness, reigniting old passions and interests, opening up to universal energy and discovering the powers of Pranayama Breathwork and Sound, I’m blessed and grateful to say PTSD is a thing of the past!
I knew that if I could fix all of this, anyone could, and I knew I could show people how to do the same….so Ethereal Warrior was born.
You offer a variety of services, including Breathwork, Reiki, and Animal Energy Healing. What is the common thread that connects these practices in your approach to personal growth?
In all of the services I offer, the one thing that connects all of them is Energy. It’s understanding that everything is energy. Energy has no beginning and no end, it merely transmutes into something else. Once you have this understanding, the concept of ‘anything is possible’ is much easier to grasp. As an Energy Healer, all I’m doing is helping open up the energy channels of the individual to allow their physical body to connect fully to God’s/ universal energy, allowing them to heal themselves. As a breathwork coach I’m simply guiding people with techniques to allow them to heal themselves and connect to this same energy. In everything that I offer, I’m merely the guide, here to give a helping hand to those in pursuit of becoming mentally, spiritually and physically stronger.
What practical tips do you offer your clients to integrate self-care practices into their daily routines?
I think time is the number 1 excuse as to why people struggle to prioritise self-care. I say excuse because it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of using lack of time as a reason, and once it becomes a reason, it’s very hard to change. I too have fallen victim to this since opening the studio. As a new business i knew I had to go all in, therefore things like training 6 days a week, sleeping 6-7 hours a night, all took a step back. I was still meditating and breathing daily but only prior to sessions. So in reality, I was only doing it for other people, I wasn’t really doing it as my own self-care. However, I was fully aware that this was an excuse, and once aware of what I was allowing to happen, I was easily able to change.
There is always something you can do, even with the busiest of schedules. We all have a spare 10 minutes in a day. There’s a misconception that if you’re going to do a breath work meditation for example, it needs to be an hour long. In my Ethereal Breath program, I show people how just by spending 10 minutes a day change can completely change mood, focus and overall health.
It doesn’t even have to be that long. If you can create the discipline of waking up in the morning, drinking some water and before doing anything else, just taking 1 minute to focus solely on the breath, and then maybe a couple of minutes just stretching out the body, this can have a profound affect on the rest of the day.
The concept of the “Ethereal Warrior” is intriguing. Can you explain how you use this metaphor to help people unlock their inner strength and resilience?
I feel “Ethereal Warrior” embodies the power of the divine masculine and feminine energies working together as one. In my opinion, the current world in which we live has been systematically designed to create an imbalance within people. This imbalance leads to a lot of people feeling lost or worn down by the stresses of modernity.
When we are living too much in either energy there’s a disconnect, from God, source, the universe, the earth, and most importantly, ourselves. If we don’t understand ourselves as people, as infinite souls of energy, then how can we truly connect to the Divine? Having the inner knowing of just how powerful we are as individuals can change everything!
Physical and mental strength without love, compassion or intuition can become very destructive. Living in love & compassion without firm boundaries or confidence can also become very destructive. When both of these energies are flowing equally within us, we can become an unstoppable force!
What are some of the most common challenges you see people facing on their paths to self-discovery, and how do you help them overcome these challenges?
Fear and self doubt seem to be the most common challenges people are facing, especially after the madness and uncertainty of the past 4 years. I help them ignite that small flickering flame within them, and show them how they can make that light grow stronger and stronger. It always starts with the little steps, showing them simple things they can incorporate into their daily lives to ensure consistency and growth.
Looking ahead, what are your hopes and aspirations for the future of Ethereal Warrior?
I tend to not use the word ‘hope’ for anything. For me the word insinuates a lack on control, a sense of wishful thinking. I’ve hoped for many things throughout my life, but only when I declared with authority, “this is what I will be doing”, did things start to come to fruition. So, over the coming months & years, I’ll be growing my online presence, creating a larger platform to connect to people far and wide. I am in the beginning stages of creating the Ethereal Warrior Training Academy, an online platform offering certifications in various modalities, encouraging people from any background to step into their power, to learn from my experience as well as their own, and utilise that to help even more people around the world to see how beautiful life really is, and to realise their true potential.
