Support through change
Change... it comes without invitation...
and it seeps into the landscape like a mist in the night.
And as you are busy doing your things and dreaming your dreams...
change seeps in and settles around you.
Until one day... you awaken to find yourself surrounded by the heavy fog of change…
And the density of the mist has obscured the path to your future, belittled your dreams and left you isolated in the cluttered room of your mind.
And no thing is left untouched by its glistening moistness and its burdensome weight.
And there you are… isolated and sitting amongst the debris of your shattered
thoughts and feelings and stories…
and it is at this point that you can stay in that armchair of complacency
and give up hope and so get locked in this room.
But there is another option...
This can be a time to allow someone in to hold space for you...
as you sift through the goods and chattels of your story…
- Holding you firmly as you face some of the ugly parts.
- Holding you softly and tenderly as you sit with the love and the loss…
of the dreams and the hopes.
- Holding you accountable as you redesign the room of your mind…
as you upgrade some of the functional furnishings of your thinking to be more updated and practical.
- And maybe even holding space for you as you move through a deep spring clean of the shadow parts that have been hidden under the rug for so many well-worn years and so many well-felt tears.
Change is an opportunity for growth...
An invitation to renew and awaken your hearts calling to live your life with your eyes wide open and your heart brimming with the experience of life itself.
I am Juliarna Potiphar
and I support people while they explore fresh ways to address the problems of life.
I create a space of empathy and warmth to help you sit with, and unravel the harder parts of life's challenges and support you to find the clarity to see things from a fresh new perspective.
I can also help you to...
- discover your own unique strengths and resources -
- inform a journey of fierce self compassion to create change -
- inspire a soft new kindness toward yourself -
- support self reflection and ongoing personal growth -
Reigniting your strength
Loving your Self fiercely
Finding a graceful way forward
Most of us move through life with an established skill set
that we use to navigate our way through the usual highs and lows of life.
But... sometimes our coping skills don't give us what we need if the change is significant enough, is unchartered territory or we don't even realise that we are going through a deep shift.
Often it's as simple as getting it out of your head and talking about it in a safe, non judgmental space, or doing a review of thinking patterns, a reboot of unconsidered behaviors and actions and even some time spent exploring and giving space for deeper emotions.
Sometimes the occasional deep dive into something uncomfortable can really clear the mind
and refresh the soul when it is a warmly nurtured process.
But all in all... the intention is to revitalise the soul, review what is really desired or required to enhance the authentic self and be liberated from the shackles of 'shoulds' and unconsidered rules.
Allowing each individual to live their truth with passion and love for themselves,
their loved ones and the sheer journey of life.
Because life is a finite gift and 'one day' it will be too late to do it differently...
This is not that day...
