I Did Not Set Out to Become a Healer
I did not set out to become a healer. I set out to build things. Bridges. Roads. Structures that would stand long after I was gone. My mum encouraged me into engineering, and I was curious enough, determined enough, driven enough to say yes. So I became a Civil Engineer. And for a long time, that was enough.
Learning to Prove Myself
Engineering took me everywhere. New cities. New projects. New rooms full of people who looked nothing like me. I learned to work hard, because that was expected. I learned to push forward, even when the pushing cost me. I learned to prove myself, over and over, in an industry that did not always make space for the way I was wired. I succeeded. I failed. I got back up. I moved house more times than I can count. I worked long hours and called it dedication. I developed habits that helped me cope, and called those normal too. Because in that world, they were.
Eventually I found myself in Local Council, working in Asset Management. And somewhere in those corridors, something started to crack. I was flailing. Working on a project that needed more support than anyone around me had capacity to give. I was stressed. I was unhappy. I was complaining in ways I did not recognise as my own voice. And then, the restructure came. And I lost out.
The Wall That Changed Everything
But here is the thing about hitting a wall. Sometimes the wall is the most important thing that ever happens to you. Because while I was unhappy, while I was stressed and struggling and wondering why nothing felt right, something else was happening. Something quiet. Something persistent. Something that I can only describe as the truest part of me refusing to be silent anymore. I had been collecting certifications for some time. Aromatherapy. Reiki. The Untangled Method, the transformational framework created by Nancy Cooper. I did not fully understand why I was drawn to them. I just knew I was. And I know now, that something in me already knew I was meant for more than the life I was living. That the path I was on was not my aligned path. That something needed to change.
The Untangled Method Cracked Me Open
The Untangled Method was the thing that cracked me open. Going through that process, feeling what it does at the subconscious level, I understood, for the first time, with complete clarity, the corporate world was not for me. It had never been for me. I had been performing a version of myself that the world found acceptable, while the real version waited quietly for permission to exist. I could feel my aligned path. I could almost touch it. And I was terrified.
Too terrified to leap. Until the leap was made for me.
The Leap I Was Too Terrified to Make
My husband died in a road accident. Tragically. Suddenly. Without warning. And in the midst of the most devastating grief I have ever known, I had to decide. What was best for me. What was best for my boys. What kind of life I was going to build from the rubble of the one I had been living.
And in that decision, the clearest decision I have ever made, I said goodbye to the corporate world. I chose my truest path. My aligned path. The path that had been waiting for me all along, while I spent years being too afraid to walk it.
Full Bloom Spirit Was Born
I became Full Bloom Spirit. An Intuitive, Subconscious and Energy Healer. A Reiki Practitioner. A certified Untangled Method Practitioner. A woman who helps other women regulate their nervous system, release their subconscious blocks, and lead from wholeness, so they can rise into their fullest potential.
I built this for every woman who has ever stood in a room that was not built for her, and made herself smaller to fit inside it. I built this for the woman who knows, deeply, persistently, unmistakably, that she is meant for more, but is too afraid to say so out loud. I built this for the woman who has lost something, or someone, and is standing in the rubble, wondering what comes next. I built this for my boys. So they can watch their mother choose herself. Choose alignment. Choose the path that was always meant for her, even when it was the hardest and the most terrifying and the most uncertain path available. Because I want them to know, it is possible to succeed at chasing your dreams in full alignment with your truest self. Not one day. Now.
If you are here, if something led you to this page, I believe it was not an accident. I believe the truest part of you led you here, the same way the truest part of me led me to this work. And I want you to know, you are safe here. You are held here. And from here, you rise.
With all my love, Sarah
