Client Testimonial: Skylah’s Journey of Reconnetion
Client Testimonial: Skylah’s Journey of Reconnection
Before starting work with John, I felt like I was carrying a constant heaviness I couldn’t shake. I struggle with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing and a deeper fear of not being accepted. I felt unworthy inside and had a fear of expressing myself, I had come to accept these were just part of my everyday life. I always felt this underlying weight in my chest and breathing, a tightness in my jaw, and a constant hum of mental noise. I thought this was just who I was. I couldn’t remember a time I felt truly relaxed. Even when life on the outside was calm, inside I felt an underlying chaos.
I was using weed daily, just to numb myself to all of the feelings and emotions as my coping strategy. It became my pacifier. I would resort to weed from the moment I woke up, after work, even to help me fall asleep. It was the only way I knew how to turn off the overthinking. But I was just coping.
From the very first session, I felt my energy start to shift. I remember a clear moment, I was sitting on the deck rubbing moisturiser into my skin, and it hit me. There was no noise in my head of guilt, or negative stories or pressure. I was just there doing one simple thing, and fully present in my body. It was the first time in my life that my internal world matched my external experience.
That quietness and clarity really changed everything. I quickly began to cut back on my dependency on weed, and didn’t need it as a coping strategy to get through the day anymore. My sleep to a positive turn. I started to sleep more deeply, and my mind wasn’t racing like it used to. As we worked through my pathway, my anxiety became less and less, and I didn’t feel triggered by the same things that used to activate my nervous system. I noticed I wasn’t shaking or frozen at work anymore, which was really nice.
Working with John felt like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I’d tried talk therapy for a while, and I had read different self-help books to find a way through. I knew I was triggered, I just couldn’t understand why. My body was still in fight-or-flight, reacting to things that weren’t even about the present moment. I didn’t feel safe, especially around masculine energy.
But this work was different. It wasn’t just about dredging up trauma and leaving it there. It was gentle, supportive, deeply intuitive, and filled with love. I found the Somatic Embodiment Sessions brought me back into a feeling of safety in my body. That in itself was life-changing.
“I don’t think I could have ever gone there without Joh'n’s support. Just having you there… knowing it’s supportive and non-judgmental – that changed everything.”
The Blend of Modalities
The combination of inner child work, energy healing, past life regressions, and somatic embodiment helped me truly release the trapped emotions from challenging inner-child memories and experiences throughout my upbringing. Once we had identified and integrated those challenges, I felt a lighter, playful part of me come home. That was special, as I was struggling to connect to my joy and creativity. It felt like I was retrieving parts of myself that I’d abandoned and even forgotten about years ago.
Some of the biggest shifts I’ve experienced:
I feel more like myself than I ever have. Fully present. No longer trapped in loops of the past or anxious about the future.
“I have more space in my body, in my heart. I feel like I can finally be who I was supposed to be.”
My self-worth has completely changed. I no longer base my value on how much I give to others or how little I ask for. I used to care so much about how others perceived me, but now, I am happy being me.
It has had a really positive impact on my relationships, including with my partner. I’ve learned how to speak up and express myself, and I feel more confident to say no, without feeling guilty or fearful of judgment.
I worked on healing a lot of layers and stories with my Dad and have rebuilt trust in masculine energy. As someone who once struggled deeply with that, being held in such a safe space by John allowed me to open, receive and reconnect with my own inner masculine and feminine balance.
My relationships have transformed. I no longer feel like I need to please people to feel accepted, and I can make clearer decisions on the types of friends that are in alignment with my energy.
I feel much more emotionally stable, and I can feel and process what is coming up for me, rather than pushing it down and dishonouring it.
My physical symptoms - chronic sore throats, irregular heavy period cycles, shortness of breath, blocked throats- all started to ease and self-regulate once we had worked through the root causes of those challenges.
“I was always creative. I had just shut that part of myself down. And by going there, and releasing those childhood emotions, my creativity and self-love came back.”
I am doing much better at listening to my inner guidance system, and I am learning to trust and tune into myself around what feels right for me.
I no longer feel like a victim or overwhelmed by my emotions. I feel empowered, more spacious, and connected in my body, which is a really huge breakthrough. That is something I never imagined I could say.
During my Pathway, each session built on the last. It wasn’t a quick fix, it was a deep unlayering process that honours what needs to come up and meets you where you’re at. Some days I would turn up feeling really overwhelmed and in tears from something that happened in my week, but John has such a gift of making you feel safe, seen and heard, that puts your mind and body at ease very quickly.
I healed the layers I needed to in a single session. John’s ongoing support and his follow-up voice messages really helped me feel supported, even when I felt layers of shame or unworthiness come up. He always made me feel like I had the support I needed.
This work has changed my entire life. It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever given myself.
“This has genuinely been the best gift I could have ever given myself.”
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, unsafe to express your truth, or overwhelmed by emotion like I was, I want you to know there is another way. You are not broken. And you don’t have to do it alone.
“I just feel like you cut years of therapy… I could’ve never got to where I am today just sitting down and talking about things.”
