The lovely Anne-Marie Mayers, founder of the Soul Awakening Academy joins us to talk about her own Wounded Healer journey and how this ultimately led her to remembering she has the power to change her life and remove what wasn’t working.

She went on to study a variety of different spiritual techniques, including Reiki, EFT and hypnotherapy, and now offers courses and training including trauma-informed life-coaching, spiritual training, and emotional healing workshops. She is also the author of two books including ‘Soulful, Spiritual, Mindful, Masterful’, and ‘Alchemy of the Soul’.

She reminds us that we all need a spiritual element in our lives, because to surrender to something spiritual is so powerful, and the key to finding out who we really are. This leads us to discuss identity and how much further that goes than just a label. Anne-Marie believes that we are fed unhelpful information which conditions us to believe in a truth that is chosen for us. She recommends we inform ourselves through research and quantum physics which might then open the door to other perspectives to help in the understanding of ourselves.

As humans, Anne-Marie points out, we can ask: who do I want to be? We can upgrade if we choose to and turn the base metal into gold. We are all on a Hero’s Journey to find our true selves, and we can only do this by feeling into the alignment and joy in our lives.

We speak to the wonderful Fay Johnstone, author of Plant Spirit Reiki, and an experienced shamanic practitioner who assists others to expand into the highest version of themselves.

Fay explains that walking the path of shamanism is like walking with ‘one foot in this world and one foot in another reality’. She tells us about her journey of working with plants, making potions, foraging, celebrating nature and the vital role plants play in our day to day health and wellbeing.

Her story is a fascinating one as she shares how it all started for her whilst working in Canada running a flower and herb farm. She now lives with her husband in Scotland where she runs retreats from her magical garden.

She shares how she realised she could ask nature for guidance and reminds us of the importance of asking for help from guides, plant spirits, fairy folk – we don’t have to do this alone! They are aligned with their unique essence, hence the more time we spend in nature, the more we are infused with this frequency. When it comes to plants we get a full sense of them through our senses because they are all around us. We also have their medicine – we must remember that we are part of nature not separate from it, therefore we know innately how to communicate with nature.

If you would like to work with Fay, you can find her on www.fayjohnstone.com where you can learn about her different offerings including her books, her Substack community and a chance to join Fay’s monthly online sacred circle space. She is also on Instagram as @plantsthatspeak, and on YouTube where she shares lots of helpful content about connecting with plant spirit healing.

Kev Bailey joins us, a healer and medium working for spirit, who uses a mixture of kinesiology, crystals and energy therapies alongside shamanic healing techniques to help others on their own healing journey’s.

Kev shares his own personal story that begins with many difficulties and challenges but ultimately leads him on his own path of healing, working with his grief and understanding his shadow side and triggers. He believes that if we don’t do this, you bypass most of your lessons and repeat cycles that are no longer serving you.

He believes the most important thing we should be focusing on now is our connection to source and that not everyone will ‘wake up’ and that’s ok. Maybe they have chosen to stay in their 3D experience and/or have contracted to stay at this level.

Kev shares some examples of what he’s experienced when working with others, which is fascinating! During his shamanic healing sessions, Kev works with a female brown bear which according to Native American traditions is one of the most powerful medicines to work with.

To find out more about Kev (his nickname is Bear) you can visit his website: www.theuncommonheartfelttouch.com, he travels the country and has venues in the North West, also in Glastonbury, Leicester, Nottingham and Derby. The best thing to do is ring Kev and you can have a chat with him over the phone.
