The greatest awakenings come from the deepest traumas

First Soul Awakening:

This is where my first Soul Awakening began. I was 33, a single mum of four young children, and had recently spent a month in hospital with double pneumonia in both lungs. My life had been turned upside down — my children were divided between family and friends and were too young to understand what was going on. All they knew was that ‘mum wasn’t well’.

I was lost and trying to make sense of where to go next.

I was on an insane amount of medication and refused to believe I would have to live like that long term, so I started researching how I could heal myself.

I was drawn to Himalayan Crystal Salt, which completely opened me up to the healing powers of Mother Earth. This changed my life so significantly that I knew I had to help others discover its healing abilities. That’s when Naturally Nessa was born — a passionate doorway into natural healing and ancient wisdom gifted by the Earth herself. So for 20 years I sold all Himalayan Salt products, but now I only inform. However I still to this day surround myself with Himalayan Salt Lamps and only eat Himalayan Salt. 

Second Soul Awakening:

My second Soul Awakening happened when I was 46. This time, it truly cracked me wide open and allowed me to become the woman I am today. My life had once again been turned upside down, but this time gradually, over a longer period of time.

Like I said before, the greatest awakenings come from the deepest traumas.

At the end of 2017, my world came crashing down. I had cared for my mother through her transition, re-entered a corporate career, and then began caring for my father, who was 90 at the time.

I was dealing with Adrenal Fatigue, low kidney function with the threat of dialysis, an under-active thyroid, and multiple systems in my body were starting to shut down. My will to live was at an all-time low. I could no longer care for my father, my children, or myself. I was in complete denial about the severity of what was happening.

After a year of consultations with doctors, naturopaths, homeopaths, and specialists, I was called by an inner voice to begin my own healing.

My digestion had completely shut down from the overload of supplements and medication. I was no longer absorbing nutrients from food. I began a four-month juice cleanse to allow my body to rest and restore. During this time, I was guided to begin studying Energy and Soul Medicine.

I never intended to become a practitioner. I just wanted to survive. But as I began to uncover the innate power within me, I knew I was meant to help others remember what lives inside them too. Our souls are constantly whispering — and sometimes screaming — for us to listen.

The combination of Energy & Soul Medicine and deep nutritional healing brought me back to life — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

Third Soul Awakening:

And then, in early 2025, at the age of 53, my third Soul Awakening arrived — quiet but unmistakably powerful.

This time, it came not through illness (although the physical ailments I experienced certainly mimicked the adrenal fatigue and exhaustion). However it was actually my symptoms of OTRS Ongoing Trauma Relationship Syndrome that I was experiencing. 

Through the unveiling of a deeper language. I discovered the connection between neurodivergence and the emotional disconnection so many silently carry. I came to understand the role of alexithymia — a difficulty in recognising, naming, or expressing emotions — and how it weaves its way through so many neurodivergent experiences.

It was through this lens that I finally made sense of my own patterns, my partner’s inner world, and the reason so many relationships were aching for understanding. 

This awakening didn’t strip me bare the way the others did. Instead, it handed me a mirror and showed me the unseen — not just the unseen in me, but also in my partner, as well and what needed to be felt by both of us. 

It was the final key that unlocked The Divergence Kaleidoscope — a soul-led body of work that holds space for emotional healing, neurodivergent communication, and the reclamation of wholeness for both self and relationships.

I now dedicate my life to helping others not only bring calm back into their bodies, but to gently remember who they are — and the gifts they carry.
