About Me
Emma Gibson
Hello and a warm welcome to Liberated Soul Holistics!
My personal healing and spiritual awakening was kickstarted abruptly in 2005 with the unexpected loss of both of my parents when I was just eighteen. After both suffering complications from chronic diseases that were in part undetected and misdiagnosed, they passed away within a year of each other. Ten months after losing my Dad who was just 60 at the time, I lost my Mum who was only 51.
My parents both passed away during the night when I wasn’t by their side and in each instance the last I heard from the nursing staff was something along the lines of, “Don’t worry, they’ll be fine.” Having expected to see them again and with hope for their recovery, I was completely blindsided when I received the phone calls that they had passed. The sudden shock in each case was compounded by the intense sorrow and guilt I felt that I didn’t get to say “Goodbye,” or even “Thank you” to either of them before they departed the physical world.
The unanticipated and traumatic experiences of seeing my parents go through such suffering and then finding myself orphaned suddenly as a teenager were the catalysts that initiated my own long and winding healing journey. For years I experienced PTSD, which manifested as debilitating IBS, anxiety attacks, depression, anger and the adoption of a whole host of misaligned coping mechanisms!
As an only child, my empty family home became a haunting place and my panic attacks would come on at night when the noise of the outside world dimmed and I was alone. Terrified to be present with my thoughts and overwhelming feelings, I tried everything from prescription anti-depressants to over-indulging in alcohol and compulsive spending to distract my mind and fill the void. However, all of these attempts at mental distraction and emotional numbing only led me further into a state of imbalance, disconnection and confusion.
I immediately stopped taking the anti-depressants that numbed my emotions (the good, as well as the bad); I felt unable to tolerate life in a dissociative and chemically-induced haze. The initial shock began to give way to anger and I knew it had the potential to destroy me, if I didn’t have a constructive way to process it. I was guided to do the only thing that promised light at the end of the tunnel: to seek greater knowledge.
Instead of hiding from the reality of life without my parents, I was determined to receive answers as to why they suffered as they did and at such relatively young ages. Years on, I was still plagued by memories of seeing them lying gaunt and weak in hospital beds and me feeling so helpless. I wanted to find meaning amid the powerlessness by learning more about the underlying causes of illness, what it really means to be ‘healthy’ and to discover how (or even if) I could reconnect with my own inner peace and wellbeing.
In search of wisdom and empowerment I spent many years voraciously studying the holistic healing arts, beginning with herbalism and naturopathic principles of healing and detoxification. Introducing herbalism and detoxification practices into my daily routine brought much-needed balance and clarity into my body and mind. From this place of increased wellbeing and centredness, I was then inspired to delve into the more esoteric realms of energy healing and psychic development.
I had always been energetically sensitive and intuitive, with a thirst for exploring the metaphysical mysteries of life. In 2013 I became a practitioner of Soul Realignment, which absolutely changed my life and in 2014 I began my Reiki journey, which ultimately led to me becoming a Usui Reiki Master Teacher and was equally as life-affirming. Reiki healing and Soul Realignment not only unlocked answers and higher wisdom that I felt I had been waiting for my whole life, they also played significant roles in my personal self-healing journey.
I found that by restoring my vital force energy with Reiki and reconnecting with my Higher Self and my deeper truth with Soul Realignment, I was able to make empowering shifts in my life. The more I began to work with others as a therapist, I came to see that the painful experiences I went through in my teen years held a precious gift; the opportunity to find my own holistic healing path that led to reconnection with my intrinsic wellbeing, spiritual empowerment and soul purpose as the Conscious Creator of a Soul-aligned life.
I’m so very thankful that what began as a personal tragedy blossomed into a huge opportunity to expand into a life of deep purpose in service to others. I've connected with clients all around the world who have been searching for answers to the very same questions that first stirred within me as a bereaved teenager. I came to understand that as well as physical toxicity, harbouring negative thought patterns and emotions (such as anger, worry and fear), living out of alignment with our unique truth and suppressing our Soul’s innate desire for expansion, fulfilment and joy are all in themselves very real causes of illness.
My experiences across over a decade of working in the healing arts have led me to understand that the key to the prevention of disease lies within the inherent connection between our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. My therapy work is based on a combination of holistic and metaphysical principles of health and wellness and is focussed on healing at the multidimensional level of being; incorporating body, mind and spirit as one. I’m a firm believer that we are all capable of consciously creating lives of radiant health, empowerment and freedom - and it all begins with Intention!
When I meet a new client I always take the time to understand where they are on their current path in life and what their highest needs and intentions are when it comes to healing and empowerment so I can offer the highest level of service to each soul on their unique healing journey.
