My Journey with Sacred Cacao

It was in the heart of Asia, Singapore, that I embarked on a life-changing journey that has led me to where I am now. Intertwining the powerful energies of Ceremonial cacao, CranioSacral therapy and Intuitive Bodywork healing.

At 39 years old, I encountered my first Reiki treatment, though I knew about it from attending many holistic festivals in London, I always felt too shy and not good enough to receive it.

Being an Australian, I am a happy-go-lucky person and would not class myself as overly sensitive or energetically aware. However, I have always been drawn to the supernatural and all things holistic and a love of life.

Back in 2012 I started struggling with the feeling of overwhelming discontent and unhappiness. I did not know where it came from or what it was that made me so deeply unhappy. I was just out of sorts. It lasted for weeks, maybe even months. Then, one morning, I woke up with a clear vision or, as they say, a calling to receive a Reiki session.

I became obsessed and could not rest until, eventually, I found an old man who practised and taught traditional Usui Reiki for many years.

During the treatment everything in my body and brain felt as though they were realigning. I can still recall that sensation when his hands were on my head. It felt magical and profound. For the next three days, I lived in euphoria – everything seemed richer, brighter, clearer and I felt happy as if I had fallen in love for the first time.

I told the Reiki healer about it, and he suggested that I learn Reiki. Being a sceptic and because his treatments were quite expensive, I thought he was after more money, so I did not follow up on the idea. This soon changes as the calling to Reiki was to intense to ignore. 

In 2013, I was attuned to the traditional Usui Reiki Level 1 & 2 and in 2018, six months after coming to London, I became a Master Teacher. This naturally led me to learn Craniosacral therapy.

Since 2013, Reiki has been a guiding force in my life, leading me to many serendipitous encounters. It showed me that, if I wanted to dive deeper into my esoteric nature and improve my healing abilities, I needed both to continuously work on myself and to keep a clear and open heart. This is where CranioSacral therapy came in. The play of the little ego wanting to be the best CST therapist I could be, and have a flourishing practice. This little egoic desire and my struggle in the early years with CST guided me to sacred cacao and trying plant medicines such as Ayahuasca and other lesser-known plant medicines to heal and open myself up to the love of CST. Mother Gaia's gentle heart-opening and healing plant medicine touched my soul and allowed my heart to heal, once more catalysing remarkable shifts in my life.

All I can say that if it was not for beautiful plant medicine of sacred cacao. I think i would be where I am today. In love with my work and a continual deepening of the power and magic of  CranioSacral and Intuitive bodywork healing treatments.

Working with the sacred cacao I have learnt to listen to my heart rather than to my head. Allowing my heart and soul to guide me has been the key for my CranioSacal practice to advance and become more nourishing and healing.
