Spiritual Awakening Stories. Claire-Aude: Listening When Life Speaks

Claire-Aude’s story explores how life gradually teaches us to listen. In her mid-forties, while working with a regression practitioner, Claire-Aude discovered she had originally been a twin. The revelation explained many of the signs and feelings she had experienced throughout her life, including a sense that she was somehow living for two. During the session, she also had a profound experience of her energy being "zipped" back together, leaving her with a deep feeling of wholeness. The death of her father brought a profound moment of grief that she had little time or space to process. Instead, she began finding small ways to care for herself — even something as simple as smiling at strangers in the street became a quiet act of healing. Eventually, however, the body spoke more loudly. Years of pushing through exhaustion and stress culminated in a serious health crisis that brought everything to a halt. Hospitalisation, surgery, and a later cancer diagnosis became a powerful turning point. During that period she returned to something she had known since childhood — the understanding that the mind and body are deeply connected, and that healing begins when we truly listen. Over time she restored her health and rebuilt her life with different priorities. Today she works as an energy healer and tarot reader, supporting others in reconnecting with their own capacity for healing. This episode explores resilience, grief, and healing through Claire-Aude’s journey back to wholeness after a life-changing health crisis and the discovery that she began life as a twin. ✨ Thank you for taking part in Energy Healing Conversations.

The intention is to allow the discussion to unfold naturally and authentically. We may move in different directions depending on what emerges during the conversation.

Spiritual Awakening Stories. Janine Zitianellis: Healing Through Illness and Self-Reconnection

Janine’s story explores the connection between illness, neurodivergence, and self-reconnection. For many years, she was trying to be the perfect version of everything — striving, performing, and attempting to live up to expectations that never truly reflected who she was. Beneath this effort, she experienced deep stress, a constant sense of not being good enough, and feelings of judgment from others. Over time, this internal pressure led to anger, disconnection, and a diagnosis of social anxiety disorder. A significant turning point came when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition accompanied by severe pain. This experience led her to explore the relationship between the mind, body, and spirit, and to recognise how disconnected she had become from her true nature. Through reconnecting with herself, replacing old beliefs, and learning to cultivate self-love, she began to experience profound changes in both her emotional and physical wellbeing — eventually recovering to the point of no longer needing medication. This episode explores the powerful link between self-acceptance, the mind-body connection, and healing. Thank you for taking part in Energy Healing Conversations.

In this episode, Stephanie Hamod shares her journey from high achievement and corporate success into a deeper, more aligned and meaningful way of living. From a young age, Stephanie was shaped by high expectations and a strong drive to succeed. This led her into a successful career in financial services. On the outside, her life looked impressive: promotions, international travel, financial success, and influence. Yet internally, she experienced a growing sense of emptiness and disconnection. She went to Sri Lanka to study Ayurveda, and things began to shift. Through space, stillness, and practices such as yoga, meditation, and healing treatments, Stephanie reconnected with herself in a way she had not experienced before. A key turning point came through energy healing and past life work. Over time, Stephanie stepped fully away from her corporate career and into a new path aligned with her values. She now works as an energy coach, healer, and hypnotherapist, supporting others in reconnecting with their energy, their truth, and their own way of making decisions.

Spiritual Awakening Stories. Bettina Wengenroth: From Mind to Heart

In this episode, Bettina Wengenroth shares the story of how a life that once felt stable, successful, and carefully mapped out was transformed by a profound inner awakening. Before this turning point, Bettina’s world appeared secure. She was married, building a career in human resources, and living a life grounded in logic, structure, and stability. Yet a powerful soul-level activation disrupted her emotional, physical, and energetic reality in ways her logical mind could neither explain nor control. What followed was a long period of searching. At first, Bettina tried to understand her experience through hypnosis and spiritual study. Over time, however, she realised that the answers she sought could not be found through control. Instead, she found herself being guided step by step into surrender, intuition, and a different way of listening Her journey eventually led her to the Peruvian jungle, where she worked with plant medicine within a traditional and respectful healing context. There, she experienced a profound process of grounding and reconnection with her body, something that shifted her relationship with herself in a deeply transformative way. What had once felt distant, abstract, or unreachable became embodied and real. From that point, the real work began. Her awakening did not remove life’s challenges, but it brought greater alignment. It guided her away from a life that no longer felt true and into healing work that now feels meaningful, grounded, and authentic. Key themes in this episode: • Living from logic and structure versus heart-led awareness • A soul-level awakening that disrupted identity and certainty • The shift from seeking answers through the mind to practising surrender • Trusting spiritual guidance and inner knowing • Working with plant medicine in a sacred and respectful setting • Grounding, embodiment, and reconnecting with the body • Emotional healing and the ongoing process of integration • Reclaiming intuition, inner wisdom, and purpose • Moving from outer stability toward inner alignment Bettina speaks about the reality of awakening: how transformation often begins with confusion, disruption and uncertainty, and how deeper healing unfolds through trust, surrender, and the courage to walk a path the mind cannot fully explain.

Spiritual Awakening Stories. Taryn Nightingale: Losing Yourself to Find Yourself

In this episode, Taryn Nightingale shares a deeply honest account of losing herself through people-pleasing, trauma, and self-abandonment, and how that journey led her back to her intuition, her voice, and her path as a healer. As a child, Taryn experienced strong intuitive and spiritual awareness. However, early responses from the world around her taught her to suppress those gifts and instead seek validation through achievement, approval, and being “the good girl.” Over time, this shaped an identity rooted in performance rather than authenticity. Her story then moves into a period of significant challenge. Living away from her family, Taryn found herself in a toxic relationship that involved emotional and physical abuse. During this time, she also faced a deeply personal decision around an abortion. These experiences marked a turning point, bringing her to a place of emotional breakdown, questioning, and ultimately, self-reflection. Rather than staying in that cycle, Taryn began to shift. Through journaling, movement, therapy, and spiritual exploration, she started to recognise her patterns, reclaim her intuition, and take responsibility for her healing. This included confronting themes of self-worth, abandonment, and the tendency to lose herself in others. Her spiritual awakening unfolded through both difficult and expansive experiences — from navigating trauma to reconnecting with intuitive insight, energy awareness, and inner guidance. This path eventually led her into energy healing, teaching, and working with others. Key themes in this episode include: • Suppressing intuition and shaping identity through approval • People-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-worth • Racial identity, shame, and belonging • Toxic relationships, emotional and physical abuse • Abortion and the impact of deeply personal decisions • Depression, breakdown, and self-reflection • Reclaiming intuition, inner guidance, and personal power • Healing through compassion, responsibility, and support Taryn speaks with clarity about the reality of healing, that it is not linear, and often begins in moments of crisis. This conversation offers a grounded and honest perspective on what it means to lose yourself, and the work required to find your way back.
