Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Seed Wellness about my journey from family law into intuitive healing, the women I work with, and why I believe every woman carries an inner wisdom that is simply waiting to be remembered.
I’m incredibly grateful to Seed Wellness for creating space for these conversations. It’s always a privilege to pause and reflect on the path that has brought me here and the work I now feel so honoured to do. I am also grateful to be working alongside them.
People often ask how someone moves from over twenty years in family law into spiritual and intuitive healing. The truth is, for me, they have never felt like completely separate worlds. Both are about supporting women through life’s biggest transitions. One works with the practical aspects of change; the other helps heal what cannot be addressed by paperwork or legal processes alone.
During the interview we explored topics including:
- Why I expanded my work beyond family law
- What intuitive healing really looks like in practice
- The women who are drawn to work with me
- The difference between emotional and energetic healing
- Why reconnecting with your intuition can change everything
- What I would say to someone who feels curious but uncertain about this work
I’ve shared the interview below in full, and I hope that if you’re new to my work, it gives you a little more insight into what I do and, perhaps more importantly, why I do it.
Interview with Seed Wellness
The Pivot from Law to Healing
The pivot from law to healing. You spent two decades in family law before becoming a spiritual healer. What was the moment or experience that made you realise your path lay elsewhere?
For over twenty years, I worked in family law, helping people navigate separation, divorce and family breakdown. While I could help clients with the legal process, I became increasingly aware that the law only addresses part of the journey.
Time and time again, I saw women who weren’t just dealing with paperwork and court orders. They were grieving, questioning their identity, losing confidence, and trying to rebuild their lives from the ground up. The legal system isn’t designed to support those emotional and spiritual aspects of change.
I realised that although I could help a woman secure a financial settlement, I couldn’t help her rebuild her confidence, trust herself again, or understand who she was becoming after the relationship ended. I became increasingly aware that the deepest healing was happening outside the legal process.
At the same time, I was going through my own personal growth journey and reconnecting with my intuition. I began to realise that true transformation happens when we support the whole person, not just the legal issue they are facing.
It wasn’t so much a pivot away from law as an expansion of my work. Today I combine practical guidance with healing and intuitive support, helping women move through life’s transitions in a more empowered and holistic way.
What Intuitive Healing Really Means
What “intuitive healing” really means. The term can feel unfamiliar to people new to this work. How would you describe what actually happens in one of your sessions to someone who has never tried anything like it?
Intuitive healing is a beautiful process that helps people reconnect with themselves.
Every session is different because every client is different. We begin with whatever is happening in their life right now. Sometimes that’s a relationship breakdown, a loss of confidence, anxiety about the future, or simply a feeling that they’ve lost touch with who they really are.
Using intuition, deep listening and energy healing techniques, I help clients uncover what may be sitting beneath the surface. We, sometimes, discover old patterns, beliefs or emotional wounds that are still influencing present-day decisions.
Clients frequently describe feeling lighter, calmer and clearer after a session. They may not always leave with all the answers, but they often leave with a deeper connection to their own inner wisdom and a greater sense of trust in themselves.
The Women I Work With
The women you work with. Who typically comes to you, and what does that first conversation usually sound like? What brings them to your door?
Most of the women who come to me are at a crossroads.
Some are navigating separation or divorce. Others are experiencing a significant life transition, such as children leaving home a career change, bereavement or a growing sense that the life they’ve created no longer fits who they are becoming.
The first conversation often begins with uncertainty. They might say things like, “I don’t know who I am anymore,” “I’ve lost confidence in myself,” or “I know something needs to change but I don’t know what.”
Many have spent years putting everyone else’s needs first. They have become so focused on caring for others that they’ve lost touch with their own voice. My role is not to tell them what to do, but to help them reconnect with what they already know deep down.
Energetic vs Emotional Healing
Energetic vs emotional healing. You talk about healing being energetic and spiritual, not just emotional. Can you explain what that distinction means in practice?
Emotional healing focuses on understanding and processing our feelings. That’s an important part of the journey.
Energetic healing looks at what may be held beneath those emotions. Sometimes we understand why we feel a certain way, yet we still find ourselves repeating the same patterns, attracting the same relationships or feeling stuck despite our best efforts.
In my experience, healing often happens on multiple levels. There is the mind, the emotions, the body and what I would describe as our energetic or spiritual self.
When we work energetically, we’re creating space for old fears, limiting beliefs and outdated patterns to be released so that clients can move forward with greater ease. It’s often less about fixing something and more about returning to who they were before those layers accumulated.
The Thresholds We Cross
Your most profound “threshold”. You guide women through major life thresholds. Without breaking any confidences, is there a transformation you’ve witnessed that has stayed with you?
One of the most powerful transformations I witness is when a woman stops seeking permission to be herself.
I’ve worked with women who arrived feeling completely disconnected from their own needs and desires. They had spent years being the peacemaker, the rescuer or the person who held everything together for everyone else.
The most moving moments aren’t always dramatic. They’re the quieter moments when a woman realises she can trust herself again. When she sets a boundary without guilt. When she decides from a place of self-respect rather than fear.
Those moments may seem small from the outside, but they often mark the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
Rediscovering Your Inner Knowing
The inner knowing. Your core belief is that every woman carries an unshakeable inner knowing. What gets in the way of women hearing it, and how do you help them tune back in?
I believe every woman is born with a deep inner wisdom.
What often gets in the way is conditioning. Over time we learn to seek approval, avoid conflict, meet expectations and prioritise other people’s opinions above our own.
Eventually, the voice of intuition becomes quieter than the voice of fear, self-doubt or responsibility.
The work I do is about helping women create enough stillness and safety to hear themselves again. Through healing, reflection, nervous system regulation and intuitive practices, they begin to recognise the difference between fear and truth.
The answers are usually already there. My role is simply to help them remember how to listen.
A Message to Anyone Feeling Hesitant
A message to the hesitant. For a woman reading this who senses she needs this kind of support but feels uncertain or sceptical – what would you say to her?
I would say that scepticism is completely welcome.
You don’t need to have any particular beliefs or spiritual background to benefit from this work. You don’t even need to call yourself intuitive.
What matters is whether something inside you is asking for change.
Many of the women I work with arrive feeling uncertain. They simply know that what they’ve been doing isn’t working anymore. They know they’re exhausted from carrying everything alone.
If that’s you, trust your curiosity. You don’t have to have the whole path figured out. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is take one small step towards ourselves and see what happens next.
The women who experience the greatest transformation are not necessarily the most spiritual. They’re often the ones who are willing to be honest about where they are and open to the possibility that there may be another way forward.
A Final Thought
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, both as a family lawyer and now as an intuitive and healer and coach, it’s this:
We rarely need someone else to tell us who we are.
More often, we need someone to help us remember.
Whether you’re navigating divorce, grief, a career change, an empty nest, or simply feeling that quiet whisper that life is asking something different of you, know that you don’t have to walk that journey alone.
Thank you again to Seed Wellness for inviting me to share my story and the heart behind my work.
And thank you for taking the time to read it.
With love,
