Patricia's Journey: A Deep Dive into Transformation
Early Life and Family Dynamics
I grew up in an unstable environment. My father, although an amazing man, was a highly functioning alcoholic, while my mother struggled with severe mental health issues, exhibiting violent and erratic behavior likely stemming from undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Raised in a strict Catholic household with European roots, my childhood was often a lonely and fearful place. My father, though kind and encouraging, was largely absent due to his demanding work schedule, leaving me with my mother who was unpredictable and unsafe.
One vivid memory stands out: a seemingly innocent accident where eggs were dropped led to my mother flying into a rage, blaming me for her clumsiness. Instances like this were common, with physical punishment often following minor incidents. These experiences left deep scars, shaping my understanding of safety and love, and significantly influencing my relationships in adulthood.
Discovering the Healing Arts
Determined to break away from the conventional approach to psychology that I encountered at university, I delved into the healing arts. I started in the spa industry, learning massage therapy and aesthetics, eventually becoming a skincare clinician. I wanted to understand why people’s skin had issues like acne or rosacea, which often had deeper emotional roots.
I spent years studying Ayurvedic medicine, Buddhism, and other holistic practices, which taught me that physical health is deeply connected to mental and emotional well-being. This holistic perspective became the cornerstone of my approach, combining beauty, health, and psychology to help people transform not just their appearance but their inner selves.
Personal Struggles and Triumphs
Throughout my 20s and 30s, I juggled my career with the complexities of personal life, including multiple marriages and relationships that mirrored the chaos of my childhood. These relationships often brought more pain than joy, echoing the instability and unpredictability I had known growing up. It was during these times that I realized I had unresolved traumas that needed healing.
One of the most transformative periods was during COVID-19. Isolated and facing physical ailments like carpal tunnel, arthritis, and scoliosis, I was forced to confront my deepest fears and traumas.
Alone and terrified, I used this time to delve deeper into hypnotherapy and QHHT. These practices were nothing short of miraculous, helping me realign my spine, alleviate my arthritis, and find a profound sense of peace and strength within myself.
It was also one of the most challenging aspects of my journey; coming to terms with my inability to have children. Despite trying fertility treatments and traditional Chinese medicine, I could not conceive. This brought immense emotional pain, exacerbated by societal expectations and my own longing for motherhood.
It was through hypnotherapy that I finally understood and accepted my path, realizing that I was not meant for a traditional life of having and raising children in this lifetime. Instead, my calling was to help and heal others, expanding the understanding of healing in the world.
Embracing My True Calling
The discovery of hypnotherapy and QHHT was a turning point. Through these techniques, I experienced rapid and profound healing, which traditional counseling had failed to provide. I realized that understanding the root causes of my pain was not enough; I needed to release these emotional triggers and reprogram my subconscious to align with my true desires and goals.
Training under several profound metaphysical healers for over 15 years, I studied everything from herbology and aromatherapy to crystal healing and energy work. My father's background as a professor of religious studies had exposed me to ancient teachings from a young age, making these studies feel like a natural progression.
Today, I am proud of the person I have become. I have overcome immense physical and emotional challenges, transformed my life, and now live with a sense of joy and fulfillment I never imagined possible. I am healthier, more confident, and more at peace than ever before. My unconventional journey has equipped me with the tools and empathy to help others navigate their own paths to healing and transformation.
