We welcome Harvest Harris-Jones to the podcast who owns a creative Heartfelt Practice where she interweaves, shamanic, reiki and yoga practices using the power of nature to help empower and transform women to be their authentic radiant selves at her award winning ethical holiday cottage business Laverock Law Cottages and Glamping in Northumberland.

She shares with us her extraordinary healing journey she embarked upon, talking about the abuse she suffered as a child and the steps she took to build her life back up, one piece at a time.

Her transformation flourished as she stepped away from the daily 9-5 grind and bought a piece of land in Northumberland that helped her rediscover her love for nature and creativity, and most importantly, gave her the space to learn how to love herself.

A totally fascinating and beautifully shared story of self-love really conquering all!

We're joined by Hannah Charman, who is a natural menopause specialist for menopause after cancer and more. As a consultant medical herbalist and hypnotherapist, Hannah helps women to navigate the menopause without HRT with herbal remedies for the menopause.

She shares her wealth of experience and knowledge with us and offers a different perspective on how we can view the menopause, almost as a ritual which should recognise the challenge of it, and then the reward afterwards when you emerge wiser and stronger. Hannah points out that in the past we needed women elders in the tribe to look after children, to teach and to pass on natural wisdom. There should be more positive messages about menopause, so that we understand, it's a transition and one that might not be comfortable but that absolutely serves a purpose so that we feel empowered not fearful.

We touch on the individual roles of our hormones which is absolutely fascinating and we discuss in more detail how she supports her clients with her work. She shares that she also works with many women who are going through the menopause early due to cancer treatments and how the herbal remedies offer a safe alternative to HRT.

Emma Sullivan from Empowered Holistics joins us to share her spiritual awakening experiences and her passion to help people take control of their own health and understanding how to take care of their own energy without relying on pharmaceuticals.

Emma has a wealth of experience in various holistic modalities including Hypnotherapy, NLP Coaching, Timeline Therapy, Reiki and she's been reading Tarot for the last 20 years too. She talks about how brutal spiritual awakenings can be - they are not all rainbows and unicorns, but the uncomfortableness can lead to break throughs! Trust and surrender are key as we are letting go of things that no longer serve us, in order to make room for the new.

We talk about the blurred lines between mental illnesses and spiritual awakenings; perhaps in some cases we may not be depressed or chemically imbalanced, but in fact our energy and frequency are changing. It is so important to have the right people around you at these moments of crisis, who may be able to point you in a direction of healing which traditionally may not have been available. As Emma points out, not everything is spiritual but also not everything is mental. Often if we can look inside, we have the power to heal ourselves or find the answers.

You can find out more about Emma here: www.emma-sullivan.com, on Facebook as Empowered Holistics, or by attending one of her local workshops or her regular Circle, which she runs in her home county of Dorset.
