How Learning Silent Counselling at 44 Changed My Life
This is the story of how learning a gentle, non-verbal healing technique helped me recover from burnout, process grief, and change my life.
What Is Silent Counselling?
Seven years ago, at the age of 44 I learned a holistic healing technique called 'Silent Counselling’ which is a gentle, non-verbal energy therapy that helps release emotional blocks, trauma, and stress by working with the body's energy system (meridians) without requiring you to talk about painful memories. This technique is ideal for anyone uncomfortable with traditional talk therapy and uses muscle testing, acupressure, and breath work to find and clear blocked, stagnant energy, promoting inner calm and self healing.
This learning completely changed my life.
When Burnout and Grief Collide
In Oct 2018, I had decided to leave my stressful corporate leadership role after 24 years because I was feeling completely exhausted and burnt out. I lost my Dad to fronto-temporal dementia and cancer in 2016 and my husband had been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 kidney cancer, which had by then spread to his brain. My kids were 16 and 14 then and I felt completely overwhelmed, not knowing how I was going to provide for them in the future.
Learning to Heal Through the Mind-Body Connection
So I started researching the mind-body connection, emotional intelligence and nervous system regulation. I discovered a whole host of alternative healing practices which helped me to reset my own nervous system to feel much calmer, clearer, back in control and motivated again. The practice that spoke the loudest to me was Silent Counselling, as this helped me to release deep seated emotions and beliefs at the root cause. Experiencing the power of this for myself was mind-blowing and transformed my life so I not only decided to become a practitioner but also a trainer, so that I could continue to help others experience the same transformations I had.
Stepping Out of My Corporate Comfort Zone
This took me way out of my comfort zone because my background was in a long term secure job in financial services operations, I had never really heard of energy healing before. But once I'd experience it first hand and became certified in it, there was no looking back.
How I Use Silent Counselling Today
Today, this is just one of many techniques I share through my healing coaching and the Infinity & Flow Collective to help women who feel unseen, exhausted and just done being busy, doing everything for everyone else, with no time or energy left for themselves, to feel alive and reignite their inner spark again.
