“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.”
Rachel Naomi Remen
Welcome to Holistic Soul Space. A sanctuary that organically came together through my own healing journey. An open, welcoming and loving space where things that some see as weird or strange are considered to be wonderfully normal. A sacred space where you can come home to your soul and are positively encouraged to lay down all your masks and be your true, authentic self.
About Me
I’m Frances, a Usui Reiki and Quantum Healing Hypnosis (QHHT and BQH) Practitioner, Certified Crystal Energy Guide, and lifelong intuitive. I’m also a developing medium, channeler and animal communicator when time allows practice.
My own healing journey led me to alternative, holistic therapies and treatments. I gained so much from them physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, I decided to train and continue to train in order to offer a variety of holistic treatments to help others who need more than current medical system offers.
Dark Night of The Soul
My role as a teacher of Biology and Science was cut short by a diagnosis of fibromyalgia following a neck injury in 2012. This transformational experience was what many people call a “Dark Night of the Soul” that actually lasted several years. By the time I finally came through it, I was a completely different person to the one who entered it. This was the second time in my life I experienced such a thing. The first was in my mid twenties following the birth of my second child that led me to seriously consider suicide. I’ve been no stranger to mental health challenges throughout my life.
In 2018, six years into my healing journey, poor mental health raised its head again when I lost my precious, eldest son, Conor, to suicide. A devastation I had no idea how to survive, just the knowing that I must. That loss cracked my heart open so wide. It catapulted me forward on my own spiritual path. I chose not become a victim of circumstance. Instead, empowering myself by taking full responsibility for my life and healing path.
I was able to use my experience of alternative practices to help me navigate the complex grief that ensued. I still practice them regularly. My awareness was further opened to the human condition and how mental and emotional health challenges affect the physical body. And I knew the practices that helped my body and mind to heal could make a significant difference to others. This is an ongoing process, as we are all constant works in progress. With Conor continuing to inspire and guide me on a daily basis.
The Stubborn Refusal to Give Up
I was so poorly at one point, I was reliant on a wheelchair to get around but I refused to believe the doctor’s prognosis that recovery was impossible. When I reclaimed my life through my intuition, alternative practices, meditation and my body’s innate wisdom, I knew that my experience was meant to be used in the service of others. This journey has helped me remember that I am an ancient soul who has walked through many lifetimes, on earth and elsewhere, and I am still uncovering how they shape me today. We are all love personified and I have found immense peace since moving more into a heart-centred existence. Quantum Healing Hypnosis is providing me with many profound answers. Some of which I was looking for and others I didn’t know I needed.
Between 2012 and 2019, I carried out an immense volume of research on fibromyalgia, mental health disorders and hypothyroidism, in particular. Knowing that my future involved health and wellbeing in some shape or form, I made the decision to complete a Masters in Research in Health Research. By the time I graduated with Merit in 2023, I was extremely disillusioned with the medical system and academia. I knew that my path forward needed to allow me to work intuitively and on my own terms. Holistic Soul Space grew from that wisdom.
Facilitator and Guide
I don’t call myself a healer. I’m a facilitator and guide, holding space for your body to heal itself on all levels. During Reiki, I channel pure, divine, source energy rather than universal life force energy, which I’ve found varies in frequency and usefulness. Your body already knows how to use this high vibrational energy, gently easing stress and restoring balance. With Quantum Healing Hypnosis, I guide you to reconnect with your soul and the wisdom within, where deep insight, clarity, and healing are found. I intuitively connect and work with Crystal Energy to help you reconnect and manifest your desires. I am also able to use the healing energy of crystals to complement and enhance Reiki sessions. Whether through energy work, hypnosis, soul-guided writing, or guided inner journeys, everything I offer comes from a place of love, trust, and the awareness of who we really are.
My path has taught me that healing truly begins when we listen to our body and soul. If you’ve found your way here, that is no coincidence. You’ve been led to this space, to explore, reconnect, and shine.
