Hiya's Healing

Aim

I help people to overcome the overwhelming empty feeling of loneliness and despair, where life and the future feels pointless and miserable.

It didn't matter if I was in a room full of loved ones or had everything I thought I wanted; I still felt desperately alone and empty. Nothing I did filled that hole or got rid of that heavy feeling in my chest that caused me to not really trust or love anyone properly. I ate, drank, worked solidly, partied, did anything that thought I would feel more accepted and less alone. But nothing worked and no one could see it - everyone thought I was so successful, confident and happy, with the high flying career, the house, marriage, kid; all the things education had told us we needed to be a "success".

It was only when all of this broke down after another messy awful night which was my 29th birthday and I contemplated ending it all, that I knew something had to drastically change. Since then I have been on my own massive journey so that I am now fully in the position to help others to overcome that feeling, so that you can be happy. People try counselling, medication and all the 'standard' techniques to try and be happy, but for me that didn't work. GP's and society tell you that you are broken then, unfixable and just to deal with it and get on as nothing worked.

But this is not a one size fits all world we live in, and there is another way.

I have spent the last few years working on myself and learning different skills and techniques to help not just myself, but others around me. People think they need to be mindful by doing yoga, meditating and being vegan...but that is also not true!! While that works for some people, for others they need a more accessible way that is real for them. I am here to help people realise that they are NOT broken, and work with them to find what works for them as an INDIVIDUAL so that they can carry on the rest of their lives stronger, more confident, and happier. 

After losing my job in November 2019, I knew this was the time to go for it and set up by myself. I have worked in the care sector in various roles for over 10 years, helping children teenagers, adults and people who have suffered abuse, trauma and just the crap bits of life. But I wanted to make a REAL difference now to reach those that were struggling behind the scenes. 

I have started with nothing in setting myself up, and so have only gotten so far. The money from this funding will help to pay for a proper computer and software, as well as marketing and business support, so that I can reach the people who really need support. Most of the people I have worked with have been people at a balancing point of considering ending their lives and still having a glimpse of possible change; please help me to reach them so that they can see the journey and path of change and happiness is real, before they give up.
