Sim is an intuitive energy healer, Sekhem practitioner, Psychic medium and practising witch, who is dedicated to offering healing ceremonial sessions, treatments, ritual circles and workshops to guide the mystically and spiritually curious to find their innate magic and alignment.

Sim believes that supporting clients to work more closely with their intuition is the portal to profound, positive, and aligned change in their lives.
In this episode we explored how to embrace magic and mystery and how to learn to trust our intuition - even when we are conditioned to mistrust it. We explored the common ‘Healers Journey’ of initiation into the mystery (often via burnout and panic attacks), and how us feeling disconnected from our true selves is often the way we are called into our gifts. We explored the importance of stillness, honouring the natural rhythms and cycles of our bodies - and even navigating mistrust of others in our ‘spirituality’ - to reclaim our innate magic. We dived into some practical steps of tuning into our ‘gut feelings’, and a deeper exploration of intuition versus ego - and the importance of self-compassion along the way.
What You’ll Learn from this Episode:
For those who long to be healers, embracing magic and mystery is vital - though we can often have wounding and fear around trusting our intuition that wants to be healed for ourselves first
The mundane world can lead us sensitive souls to manifest symptoms of burn out and panic attacks which can feel like ‘rock bottom’, even when we look like we’ve ‘got it all together’. These are actually a sign of a deeper call into our intuition and magical healing gifts - often these messy dark portals of mystery are catalysts for our deeper purpose - and a required part of the path
It can be hard to open when we feel like this, and it is often in the moment where we think there’s no other choice that intuition kicks in. Staying curious helps us open more fully to trusting our intuition, begin to hear our body and open to our magic - it often requires us to ‘unlearn’ years of conditioning
Practising stillness and carving our time for self-illumination are essential to help us tune unto our natural rhythms and intuition - and this can be cultivated with a practice Sim shares regarding listening to our ‘gut feeling’, to build our ‘intuitive muscle’
The more we heal self-doubt of our magic and intuition, the more others meet us in that - it can be a common fear for the Secret Witch to think that others will judge her as a ‘lunatic’, but when we truly welcome our intuition, and magic, others can too
It’s important to hear our intuition, and it’s taking aligned-action that actually heals - each time we act on synchronicities or inner nudges we are building trust in our intuitive voice
