3 Reasons I Became a Healer/Spiritual Mentor
A healer is someone who has experienced something traumatic, extremely dark, and challenge after challenge. They become a healer through the process of leading them-self from darkness into light. A healer does not simply heal other people. Instead they awaken the healing powers within each individual to heal them-self.
As a Spiritual Mentor and Intuitive Guide I don’t often call myself a healer, when in truth that is exactly what I am as a Spirit. My soul speaks through me and guides me as a human to bring healing into the world around me. I do so by mentoring and guiding my clients on their own healing journey.
I believe that all mentors, coaches, guides, and healers find their way into this industry of personal development and spiritual growth because of their own life experiences.
In this blog I will share the three main reasons as to why I became a healer and spiritual mentor. This will give you a great insight into who I am as a Spiritual Mentor and the type of healing work I focus on. You can also learn more about my work as a mentor in this blog (7 Important Facts About Me as a Spiritual Mentor).
Reason #1 - I seek to be the light
I knew this path of mentoring was the path for me because my biggest passion in life is to support others on their life journey.
I seek to be the light that I wish I had in my darkest moments.
A healing journey can be one of the most challenging experiences you move through in life because you are needing to walk through the darkness of your most painful life experiences. Why would you do this work? Because you no longer wish to carry the emotional pain of your past and you desire to let go of the identities that have limited you in life.
Healing is about saying to yourself, “I went through something extremely challenging, and I want to become better because of it, rather than let it strengthen the fear within me.”
When I walked along my healing path I became exhausted by the emotional pain I needed to work through, I often felt all alone on the journey, and I considered quitting many times. The reason why I stayed committed to the path was because I knew in my heart that I didn’t want to carry the pain. I knew that I was meant to heal myself so I could then support others.
The darkness of healing can feel lonely, scary, overwhelming, exhausting, and sometimes your mind can even trick you into believing it’s not necessary.
I became a healer and spiritual mentor because I strongly desire to be the constant light in your darkness. I will make sure you don’t feel alone. I will strive to offer the right guidance, nurturing care, and safe space for you to feel supported on your healing journey. I will be your light in your darkest moments.
My light is a reflection of the light that is within you, and the more you allow me to support you, the more you awaken your own inner light.
Reason #2 - I know the emotional weight
Being an empath can be extremely exhausting because we can feel the unseen. What I mean by this is that we feel the unseen stream of energy that transfers between people. You cannot see someone’s sadness, but as an empath you certainly feel it. Obviously if they are showing the signs of being sad, then anyone can see it. But as an empath you can feel it long before it becomes visible.
I know the emotional weight empaths carry and I know how to have healthy boundaries around emotional triggers.
Understanding my empathic abilities was a huge part of my personal development journey. Translating the emotional effects I was taking on from the world into the energetic effects I was manifesting on my spiritual journey was how I began to see the importance of boundaries.
What I mean by this is that through the lessons I’ve learned and the layers I’ve shed I can see that my soul is an abundant being. However, one of the most common human traits we take on from society is the fear of lack that becomes attached to worry around your financial situation.

Back to the blog - 3 Reasons I Became a Healer/Spiritual Mentor
In my journey I had become emotionally affected by the fear, worry and doubt around money in my paternal bloodline. Fear, worry and doubt are all emotions and feelings we experience, and as an empath I was taking on and feeling this stream of energy. It became a pattern in my own life.
By carrying this emotional weight for so long, I began to identify with lack, and I lost sight of my true spiritual nature of abundance. Hence, the emotional effects I was taking on from the world ended up translating into the energetic effects I was manifesting on my spiritual journey. I hadn’t realized that my fear of lack was creating an energetic manifestation of more lack in my life.
There are so many more examples I can use to explain how as empaths the emotions we take on from the world end up energetically affecting our lives.
For example:
The stress and pressure around achieving more creates a mindset focused on hustle which energetically manifest into more burnout and exhaustion
The gossip, drama and judgment circulating the world creates a fear of judgment within which energetically manifests into more self-doubt and insecurities
The fear, pain and anger around the world creates emotional overwhelm within which energetically manifests into depression, anxiety, emotional exhaustion & a feeling of being lost, lost in life and lost in who you are
In my journey I have gathered the wisdom, strategies and tools needed for all empaths to gain awareness on their emotions and energy. Learning how to have strong boundaries allows you to feel safe and protected as you live life, allowing you to have a strong sense of self. These boundaries also allow you to share compassion and kindness with the world, creating a positive and uplifting ripple effect wherever you go, without getting dragged into the heaviness that once pulled into the quicksand.
I became a healer and spiritual mentor to support empaths in learning positive coping mechanisms around feeling their emotions, as they were never taught to honour their emotions for the gift they are. I also chose this path because I know how empowered we feel when we can stay in our true light of compassion with the proper boundaries.
My gift is to support you in your healing, while uncovering your light as an empath, and being able to protect your energy to live from that peaceful space you desire to be in.
Reason #3 - You deserve to value yourself
There are people around the world who feel unworthy, unloved, and unappreciated.
We all desire to feel seen, heard and understood for who we are. Whatever it is that you went through early in life you had an intrinsic desire to feel valued, which triggered people pleasing tendencies within you.
I understand the intrinsic desire to be valued as a people pleaser and how to overcome the insecurities that block you from valuing yourself.
A lot of my healing journey was focused on my fear of judgment. Through learning the lessons, uncovering the emotional pain, and understanding my self-doubt I began to see the truth in it all. I was judging myself more than I could’ve ever received judgment from others.
We are our own worst enemy.
Rather than waiting to find the people to love us fully. Rather than finding the situation that allows us to feel worthy. My work as a healer and spiritual mentor is to support you in learning to love yourself and to finally feel worthy as you are.
You may not know what it is that is blocking you from believing in your worthiness and that is why I am here on this path. As an intuitive guide it is my gift to be able to see and know things that aren’t logically seen or known.
I became a healer and spiritual mentor because I know how it feels to believe you are unworthy, I once was there myself. I desired approval so much that I had completely lost myself in the pursuit of creating someone else’s dreams. I want you to not only know you deserve to value yourself, I want to support you in the journey of actually feeling valued from yourself.
My gift is to hold space for you on your healing journey and to support you as you uncover the love and light that has always been within you.
I became a healer and spiritual mentor because it is my passion and my purpose to guide you in becoming the best version of you. It’s not about my journey, it’s about you and that is exactly why I am here.
