My Healing Journey So Far

A personal story by Veronique

My healing journey started in 1995. I woke up one morning feeling light-headed and not my usual self. At the time, I was going through a relationship breakdown and a thought crossed my mind: “You need help, something in you needs to be addressed.” It felt like an awakening—one that would change my world and begin a new life journey.

Later that morning, I walked to town and went straight to a newsagent. Randomly, I picked up a magazine called Kindred Spirit. I had never before felt drawn to reading this kind of publication. I opened it to an article about Betty Shine, a famous spiritual healer and medium. As I read, a shiver went through my whole body and I heard myself think, “You have healing hands too, you are a healer, just like her.”

While Betty’s article was about spiritual healing, something drew me towards Reiki, and I set off in search of learning and understanding. It was immediately clear this was the right direction for me, and I felt a powerful sense of purpose.

• Qualified as a Crystal Healer/Teacher.
• Completed Mindfulness Teacher Training in Bristol (2019).

“Awareness” Healing Centre (1999–2015)

From 1999 to 2015, I ran a healing centre called Awareness from our home in a water mill in West Wales, nestled in a beautiful, magical valley. People from across the UK came to be attuned to Reiki and to learn about Crystals, the Munay Ki Rites, and Meditation. These were deeply fulfilling years and a time of great learning.

A Time of Change

My husband, Mike, passed away in 2016. I sold our home and moved to a smaller place in a lovely coastal village in North Pembrokeshire. It felt right to reflect and retire for a while.

Looking Ahead (2025)

Now, in 2025—a time of uncertainty and turmoil—my inner voice is encouraging me to teach again. Deep within us, treasures can be found: wisdom, peace, balance, joy, and many other positive qualities. Change begins within each of us.

More than ever, I’m determined to share the spiritual knowledge I’ve gathered over the years. I’m also greatly looking forward to spending time and sharing thoughts and ideas with you all.
