Restoring Radiance, Naturalness and the Innocence of the Feminine Heart
A woman’s deepest healing can be found in her radiance, naturalness and feminine heart.
Yet so often, women have had many moments in their lives where they’ve been shamed or diminished for being their full and radiant selves. This starts in childhood, and continues as a woman moves into adulthood. The heart becomes encased in protective shields, a natural energetic response to rejection, disapproval and dismissal of the feminine nature (no matter how subtle). The innocence of the heart is shattered, as the female realises that the world can be a harsh environment for her feminine soul.
When a woman is in her full, feminine self, openhearted and unencumbered by what others think of her, it’s normal to receive external projections that are subtly designed to squash her radiance.
And the attuned woman can feel this energetic “squashing” deeply.
Often, she decides (unconsciously) that it’s safer to strip away her naturalness. That she needs to contain her true self. That she needs to hide her radiance. That she needs to manipulate herself into a way of being that doesn’t attract external judgement and disapproval.
In energetic terms, this “squashing” energy is everywhere in our world, and is so detrimental to a woman’s feminine radiance, truth and heart. It can crush her innocence and keep her tethered to the world’s judgements.

In a practical sense, this squashing energy feels like an uneasy sense of fear about doing things and living life in ways that you innately feel will cause others to judge or disapprove of you.
It can be felt when you’re joyful and fulfilled- yet then feel a deep sense of shame around this (Maybe I’m just lucky. I’m not allowed to happy when so many people aren’t)
It can be felt when you create something- then feel like maybe you need to distill your expression or alter your creation to match with what’s expected/ what will receive approval.
It can be felt when you sense an inner truth- yet disregard it because you can’t explain it to others through the lens of the intellect.
It can be felt when you feel drawn to share something- but then think that you need to know everything and appease everyone before you can express yourself.
These energies cause invisible blocks around a woman’s being, separating her from divine will and stopping her from enjoying the sweetness and natural expression of her heart.

Feminine healing is what I call the process that I use to support women, but it’s also a way of living and being in the world. A softening into your natural self, an untangling from the projections of others and understanding that YOU, in your femininity and truth, is deeply healing, in and of itself.
A woman connected to her feminine essence isn’t going about being critical and pushing down others. She is connected to the natural vision that has been gifted to her, through her heart. She is happy to walk at her own pace, in her own way, supporting and allowing others to choose their own paths too.
Yet this dense, critical focus on what everyone else is doing, is exactly what a lot of the world chooses to do, which can make it feel hard for a woman to live from her natural radiance.
Feminine healing gives a woman refuge from the oftentimes harshness and heaviness of the world, and allows her to be her true self- radiant, fulfilled and deeply connected to her heart and unique purpose in the world, knowing that she is protected, loved and safe through her faith and belief in the beauty and goodness of God.
