When I started offering healing, it never felt like work. It was just… me.

Helping.

Holding space.

Being the friend people came to when they didn’t know what they needed—but knew they didn’t want to be alone in it.

I never thought of myself as a businesswoman.

Even today, I hesitate to use that word.

But somewhere along the way, as the calls grew, the sessions deepened, and Living with Lights began to glow into something bigger…


I realized:If I want to help more people—truly reach them—I have to run this like a business.


And that… wasn’t easy.

Business asked me to do things healing never had:

  • Set prices. (And not feel guilty for them.)

  • Market myself. (Without cringing at visibility.)

  • Plan launches, build funnels, make decisions with clarity—not emotion.


It felt like I was putting structure around something sacred. It felt… wrong.Until I realised something that changed everything:

Structure can be a container.

Not a cage.


Living with Lights isn’t about selling CAD. It’s about giving people something I wish I’d had in my hardest moments—a safe space to return to themselves.

That mission deserves systems.

It deserves support.

It deserves sustainability.

So now, I’m learning to be both:The soft space and the strong structure.

The healer and the founder.The friend and the CEO.

It’s still messy sometimes.

But it’s honest Just like me.


And that Honesty always been the heart of this work.
