Advertise on podcast: Balm To The Soul - Energy Healing to soothe mind, body and soul

Send us Fan Mail The world has never been more connected, yet so many people feel alone and that tension sits right at the centre of mental health today. I’m joined by Katie Waechter, a healthcare journalist, author, podcaster, and mental health advocate, for an honest conversation about what’s changing in our minds, our communities, and our daily habits and what we can actually do about it. We start with Katie’s personal story: childhood upheaval, a mother’s depression and bipolar disorder, and the lived reality of navigating mental illness inside a family. From there we look at youth mental health in the wake of the COVID pandemic, including why social skills can feel harder now, how isolation becomes a habit, and why boredom is not a problem to “solve” but a space where creativity and resilience often grow. We also dig into social media, doomscrolling, and the algorithm effect, plus the importance of boundaries for sleep, energy, and mood. Katie shares a balanced view of AI in healthcare and creativity, including the ethical risks of using AI in emotional and mental health contexts. We then zoom out to the bigger mental health treatment picture: medication stigma, the limits of one-size-fits-all approaches, and how holistic mental health tools, community, and connection can sit alongside clinical care, especially when people are struggling.

Send us Fan Mail Your body is sending signals all day long, so why do we keep talking ourselves out of them? Natasha Joy Price sits down with author and intuition guide Tara Paonessa to unpack what intuition actually is, how it shows up, and why it is far more grounded than most people think. Tara’s message is refreshingly practical: intuition is not a rare gift or a mystical trick, it is biology, embodied awareness, and the kind of inner navigation we were born with. We trace Tara’s path to writing her first book, Born Intuitive, and why she chose to weave animal wisdom through it to make intuition feel tangible. From reading the mood of a home as a child to learning how to quiet the “inner orchestra” of beliefs, conditioning, ego, and monkey mind, Tara shares ways to come into a neutral state where body wisdom can be heard clearly. We also dig into decision-making you can use at work and at home, including a simple framework for pairing intuition with facts and data so you feel both confident and grounded. The conversation brings in shamanism, mentorship with Dr Stephen Farmer, and a powerful reminder to stop hunting for answers outside yourself. Tara also speaks honestly about corporate life, what happens when you override your own signals for too long, and how practices like meditation help regulate the central nervous system and support real healing. And if you have ever wondered what animals might be sensing that we miss, Tara’s story of sitting with wolves in Norway will stay with you.

Send us Fan Mail Peace can feel strange when you’ve been carrying emotional weight for years. Natasha Joy Price is joined by Rae Can, a Reiki hypnotherapist, author, and fellow podcast host, for an honest conversation about what it looks like to finally put the baggage down and live with more space, clarity, and self-trust. We talk about Reiki healing as something far bigger than a single session. Rae shares how she kept hearing the call to Reiki, how pregnancy deepened her curiosity about energy work, and why the real shift came from making Reiki a daily way of life. We also get into the less glamorous side of holistic wellbeing: integrity, self-check-ins, and why Rae will reschedule a client session if she is not at her best, because showing up as a clear channel matters. From there, we move into hypnotherapy, subconscious healing, and the surprising power of past life regression and inner child work. Rae describes releasing grief, anger, and resentment so quickly that she briefly missed the heaviness because it had become normal. We explore why that happens, how hypnotherapy can remove blocks that get in the way of your goals, and why you stay in control throughout, despite the myths people pick up from stage hypnosis. We also touch on creativity as medicine, including Rae’s Reiki-infused candle making, and we close with her book of forgiveness mantras, framing forgiveness as a practice you recommit to, not a one-time decision. If you’re curious about Reiki in the UK and beyond, hypnotherapy for emotional healing, and practical spiritual tools for daily life, you’ll find plenty to take away here.

Send us Fan Mail Your body can whisper for years, then one day it speaks in full sentences. Natasha sits down with Catherine Crestani of Willow Healing to talk about the moment coping habits stop working, and what that might be trying to tell you. We start with the real-life stuff: retiring from a high-stress career, the strange relief of no longer craving that end-of-day drink, and the uncomfortable realisation that “treats” can be a form of self-numbing when life is out of alignment. Catherine shares her own wake-up call, where misalignment showed up as literal numbness in her body, and why healing rarely sticks if we keep treating symptoms while ignoring the cause. We dig into nervous system overload, burnout patterns, and the question underneath so many “small” addictions: what would you have to admit if you stopped distracting yourself? From there we explore a different relationship with money and safety, including the idea of money as energy, and why rest, embodiment, and listening to your inner wisdom can create more support than constant pushing. Things get beautifully expansive as we talk channelling, discernment, spiritual ethics, and connecting with trees, crystals, plants, elementals, and the unseen world without giving your power away. We also touch on soul recognition, soul contracts, free will, and why some connections feel ancient the moment you meet. Finally, we go into time not being linear, timeline glitches, the Mandela effect, and how Catherine works with clients to collapse competing timelines and choose a clearer path forward.

Send us Fan Mail Time pressure can feel so normal that we stop noticing how much it drives our stress, our decisions, and even our health. When Dr Maria Inglesby joins me on Balm to the Soul, we pull that thread all the way back to a bigger question: what if the “ticking clock” is a human overlay, and the deeper reality is a quantum field of spaciousness, connection, and love? Maria shares how her background in science shaped her path into energy healing, and how the embodied I Am presence becomes a lived state rather than a concept. We talk oneness consciousness in plain language, using the body’s own “atomic fabric” as a bridge between scientific rigour and spiritual experience. From there, we explore divine feminine and divine masculine as complementary traits, and what divine union looks like when head and heart stop fighting and start working as one. We also get practical about healing and burnout. Maria explains how her energy resonance sessions identify the next barrier a person is ready to release, why she sees herself as a facilitator rather than the healer, and why free will is central to real change. We discuss anxiety, panic, meditation, and why reconnecting with the body through nature and fluid practices can calm the nervous system and restore inner peace. The conversation widens into love versus fear, guidance from ascended masters such as Saint Germain and Merlin, and surprising moments of communion with nature that challenge the idea that consciousness is limited to the human mind. If you’re searching for energy healing, quantum field work, spiritual awakening, or a grounded route back to wholeness, this one stays with you.

Send us Fan Mail Health advice gets loud fast: fix your gut, fix your hormones, fix your sleep, buy the supplement, follow the plan. What we forget is that the body doesn’t live in compartments, and neither does healing. I’m joined by Dr Gene Antenucci, a health and wellness educator, speaker, author and LSU School of Dentistry faculty member and clinician with over 40 years of experience, to talk about a holistic approach to healthy ageing that actually feels doable. We dig into why “separate parts” thinking creates confusion, and how energy sits at the centre of it all, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Dr Antenucci shares lessons rooted in Italian culture, where movement is built into normal life and stress is softened by La Dolce Farniente, the sweet joy of doing nothing. We also explore why community ties and relationships affect longevity, how loneliness changes your chemistry, and why purpose becomes essential as we age, especially around retirement and big life transitions. From there we get practical with Blue Zones research: whole foods over ultra-processed diets, moving more than you don’t move, and staying connected to something bigger than yourself. We also address the hot topic of supplements, peptides and “anti-ageing” hacks, and why they only make sense once the foundations are in place.

Send us Fan Mail Brain fog that scares you, anxiety that spikes out of nowhere, weekends that never recharge you, and a quiet fear that you’re “losing it” can all be signs of burnout, not a personal failing. I’m joined by Leann Herron, a certified life and holistic health coach and the founder of Finding Resilience with Leann, to talk frankly about what happens when a nervous system stays in survival mode for decades.  Leann shares how a successful career in accounting and the legal field kept her functioning on the outside, while childhood trauma, people pleasing and perfectionism kept the pressure on underneath. When she hit the wall during the early pandemic, symptoms like panic attacks, overwhelming fatigue and severe brain fog forced a reset. We also unpack why burnout so often hits women hardest: the unequal mix of work, caring responsibilities, household labour and emotional load, plus the cultural expectation to keep going.  We get practical about burnout recovery and burnout prevention: recognising warning signs, learning nervous system regulation, setting boundaries without letting guilt run your life, and rebuilding the basics that support health (sleep, hydration, nourishing food and gentle movement). Leann also teaches her 60-second reset you can do anywhere: feet on the floor, inhale for four, exhale for six, a quick 5-4-3-2-1 sensory scan, then one steady question: “What do I need right now?” We finish with grounding, nature, and simple spiritual practices that help you feel centred again.  If this conversation helps, please subscribe to Farm to the Soul, share it with someone who needs a pause, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Send us Fan Mail Grief can break you open, but it can also point you towards the work you were meant to do. We sit down with debut author Sacha Hughes to talk about the real life roots behind her Soho Summers series and the emotional journey that runs underneath the laughter: losing her mum at 24, trying to outrun the pain through alcohol and chaotic dating, and the long path towards self love and self worth. Sacha shares the moment everything shifted on a “Shirley Valentine” style holiday, where an unexpected connection on the Adriatic cracked her world back open. She returns home knowing it cannot continue in any simple way, and chooses a different response: she writes. We unpack how that decision becomes a creative breakthrough, how fiction can carry truth without becoming a memoir, and why stories about love and loss can help readers process their own bereavement. If you’re searching for romance novels with depth, or honest conversations about grief healing, this one will land. We also dig into the practical side of the writing life: leaving a corporate recruitment career, finding ideas again once the pressure lifts, building scenes and characters, and capturing inspiration in the Notes app on long Dorset beach walks. Sacha talks about editing reality checks, why boundaries protect creativity, and the daily meditation practice that keeps her grounded and connected.

Send us Fan Mail Burnout often looks like a diary problem, but it feels like a nervous system problem. I’m joined by Cindy Hoch, a trauma coach, Theta healer, writer, women’s circle organiser, and holistic time management practitioner, to explore what happens when we stop trying to “optimise” every minute and start working with our real capacity instead. Cindy shares how travelling with her family, home schooling, and working across time zones makes rigid routines impossible, and why that reality can actually teach us a healthier way to plan. We dig into the difference between classic time management and holistic time management. The first can make your to-do list look tidy while stress stays the same. The second asks what your mental, emotional, and physical bandwidth is today, what your environment is demanding, and how to honour your body as cyclical rather than constant. We talk survival mode, why creativity cannot land when you’re braced for impact, and how rest can be the most productive decision you make. You’ll hear clear burnout signs to watch for, plus the mindset shift that starts recovery: awareness without judgement, followed by permission to do things differently. We also move into practices that support regulation and connection, from yoga and breathwork to compassion-focused meditation and nature as co-regulation. Cindy shares how women’s circles create a trauma-informed space to be seen and heard, and how cacao can support intuition and creativity, including the story behind naming her “Soul Balm” circles. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, behind, or stretched thin, this conversation offers a steadier, kinder framework for sustainable productivity and self-care.

Send us Fan Mail A child who “won’t talk” about feelings isn’t being difficult, they might be protecting themselves. I’m joined by meditation teacher and author Mayra Clay, whose work centres on helping children and families find a kinder, clearer way to understand emotions and speak about them without fear. We start with the real-life moments that sparked her children’s book, The Boy and the Pink Light, inspired by what she noticed in nursery settings and by her own experience of loneliness growing up.  Mayra explains the pink light as a simple, gentle practice that symbolises love and acceptance that begins within. It becomes a shared family language: first surrounding yourself with a bubble of pink light, then extending it towards others. We also dig into why many of us learnt to hide tears or minimise feelings, and how that shows up later as stress, people pleasing, or emotional shutdown. If you’re a parent, carer, or anyone working with children, you’ll hear practical ways to model emotional honesty, from saying “I’m grumpy, I need five minutes” to naming sadness without making it a crisis.  We then shift into Mayra’s meditation path, the Bright Path Ishayas, a set of techniques grounded in gratitude, compassion, appreciation, acceptance, and praise. Mayra shares how these practices can be done with eyes closed or even in daily life with eyes open, and why a consistent routine can feel like stress relief and a return to inner peace. We also cover the nuts and bolts of self-publishing a children’s book, including learning the Amazon Kindle process and building a wider presence online.  If this conversation helps you, subscribe to Balm to the Soul, share it with someone raising children, and leave a review so more listeners can find these tools for mindfulness, emotional literacy, and family wellbeing.

Send us Fan Mail Channelling can sound dramatic until someone explains what it feels like in real life. I’m joined by energy healer Freda Maletsky, who shares how her spiritual gifts switched on later in life after years of clearing trauma and limiting beliefs. We get honest about the way people give their power away by chasing the “easy answer”, and why learning to feel what’s actually in your system can change everything from emotional triggers to how you move through the world. Freda then breaks down what semi-trance voice channel work really is, including how she learned to step back so a specific consciousness can speak through her voice while she stays safe, grounded, and discerning. We talk about energetic hygiene, protection, and why channelling is still filtered through the human nervous system unless you keep doing the inner work. If you’ve ever wondered whether channelling can be learned, or how to avoid fear and fantasy, this will help you think more clearly about the process. We also explore Elisabeth, the energetic frequency Freda channels, described as a divine feminine presence beyond time and space. The guidance is surprisingly practical: prayers into drinking water, green leafy greens for the heart space, and a steady return to the land. We go deep on nature consciousness, talking to trees, and why modern time pressure and physical tightness can block expanded states. If energy healing, chakra clearing, meditation, light language, and intuitive development are on your path, you’ll leave with grounded ideas to try straight away.

Send us Fan Mail The moment you stop bracing can feel like the moment you fall apart and that’s exactly why so many capable, high-functioning women panic during a big life transition. When the job ends, the relationship shifts, the body finally says “enough”, or a quiet inner knowing surfaces, the old identity can crack. With embodied integration coach Natasha Ramlall, we talk honestly about that unnerving stretch of time where you do not have a map, you do not feel like yourself, and you are tempted to label it as weakness. We name it for what it often is: a nervous system recalibration and a doorway to a more truthful life.  We explore embodied integration coaching as a way of bringing the mind, the body, protective ego patterns and a spiritual anchor back into relationship. That means moving beyond living in your head and learning how to “land in the body” so you can hear needs, rebuild intuition, and restore self-trust after years of over-functioning. We also talk about the messy middle, why shutdown can follow decades of fight mode, and how compassion and acceptance can help you stay with uncertainty long enough for real clarity to arrive.  Natasha shares how an embodied dance practice grew from one deceptively simple question: what did five-year-old you want to do? We unpack why creativity and play are not indulgences, why value cannot only be measured by productivity or money, and how small glimmers of joy can become practical next steps. You’ll also hear about a free guided audio that supports embodiment as a starting point, plus one daily spiritual practice that keeps us centred: committed listening.  If this conversation resonates, subscribe for more, share it with a friend who’s navigating change, and leave a review so more women can find this support.

Send us Fan Mail A vacant lot sounds like nothing, until you look at it long enough to hear what it’s saying. From Rome, I’m joined by artist, poet, and photographer Steven Seidenberg for a conversation about the places we pass every day and the histories we rarely name, even when they’re right in front of us. We talk about Steven’s conceptual photography practice and why he works in series, using repetition to build an idea across multiple images. His photo book Kanazawa Vacancy takes us to Kanazawa, Japan, where demographic shifts leave gaps in the city and nature moves back in fast. We dig into why he chose black and white, how negative space can feel heavy, and why “decay” can be understood as transformation rather than pure loss. Then we head to southern Italy through The Architecture of Silence, where abandoned post-war housing reveals the long afterlife of policy, power, and displacement. We discuss Matera, the Sassi cave dwellings, and the uneasy reality of gentrification when “culture” becomes a brand that prices locals out. From there, Steven brings us to his book Coda, sharing a writing process that begins in the middle, circles back, and borrows freedom from medieval narrative, alongside a love of language, sound, and the deep roots inside English itself. If you care about fine art photography, urban change, architecture, creative writing, and the quieter forms of spirituality that live inside everyday experience, you’ll find plenty to sit with here.

Send us Fan Mail Perfectionism can look like ambition from the outside, but inside it can feel like a nonstop attempt to stay safe. Natasha Joy Price sits down with therapist, speaker, and Rooted Counselling and Wellness founder Cindy Payne to unpack complex PTSD, the kind of trauma that grows in relationships and disrupted attachment rather than one isolated incident. We talk about why this “relational trauma” can leave you second-guessing yourself, struggling with boundaries, and stuck in patterns like people pleasing and fawning, even when you’re a high achiever who seems to have it all together.  We also get practical about healing. Cindy explains why many trauma survivors live “neck up”, and how somatic therapy and body-centred practices help reconnect mind and body safely. We discuss micro steps such as noticing constriction versus expansion, tracking breath, doing brief body scans, and learning how emotions like shame show up physically. Along the way, we touch on why naming your experience matters, how shame thrives in secrecy and silence, and how community can loosen the grip of self-blame.  If you’re exploring complex PTSD recovery, trauma therapy, nervous system regulation, grounding, or the link between yoga and healing, you’ll come away with clearer language and a steadier starting point.

Send us Fan Mail A corporate career, an NLP workshop, then a sudden shift into seeing spirit almost overnight. That’s the path Jeanette Wilson shares with us, and it’s as raw as it is fascinating: the fear, the praying, the need for reassurance, and the moment she’s told she’s here to be a healer and a teacher. We talk about what spiritual awakening actually feels like when it happens fast, and why learning to ask for help can be the first real act of strength. From there, we explore Jeanette’s work in channelled healing and energy therapy, including how she stays conscious while guides work through her, and why “trying to fix” can pull us into ego rather than healing. She shares the principles behind high-vibration healing, the body’s wisdom, and an unforgettable story of a young man walking again after paralysis, raising big questions about consciousness, the nervous system, and what we think is possible. We also get practical: why fear and anxiety keep the body stuck in fight or flight, how stillness and sensory attention can calm the system, and what Jeanette calls a “scared to sacred reset”. Plus, we talk emotional reprogramming, the Wayne Dyer orange teaching on triggers, and Jeanette’s UK healing tour including events at the Harry Edwards Centre near Guildford, with details on where to find tickets.
