Sian McKenzie, founder of The Soulshine Therapist, is a dedicated practitioner offering a unique blend of counselling, spiritual coaching, and holistic healing. She is also a women’s circle facilitator and holds regular online meditation events. Sian’s mission is to guide clients on their journey towards self-discovery, inner peace, and profound personal growth.   With a master’s qualification in clinical counselling, Sian brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice. She has been reading tarot for over 10 years and has been a student of spirituality ever since. Sian became a certified angelic reiki master, crystal healer, and meditation teacher in 2022 and has since researched how to ethically integrate spiritual practice with traditional counselling, with the intention of offering a spiritually inclusive approach to mental health support.   Before retraining to be a counsellor and healer, Sian spent 13 years as a leader in the hospitality industry. Her background has equipped her with exceptional skills in communication and creating nurturing relationships, which she now channels into providing transformative therapy.   What sets The Soulshine Therapist apart is its heart-led, holistic approach to wellness. Sian offers clients the opportunity to combine various therapies in their sessions, creating a comprehensive mind-body-spirit healing experience. With client consent and when appropriate, she integrates different practices to address all needs, ensuring a tailored approach that supports overall well-being.   The inspiration behind The Soulshine Therapist stemmed from Sian's observation and experience that conventional counselling often leaves little space for the spiritual elements of a person's experience. Likewise, traditional healers, such as reiki practitioners or tarot readers, often lack training in how to safely and ethically attend to their client’s emotional needs. This leaves space for risk of harm, and means clients are not supported as fully as they could be.   Sian is expanding understandings and acceptability of this approach to healing and wellbeing within the wellness world.   Beyond 1-2-1 client work, Sian is also a women’s circle facilitator and meditation leader. She is passionate about holding space for people to withdraw from their busy lives, to slow down and to reconnect with themselves in a meaningful and healing way.   With a focus on personal development and self-discovery, Sian holds circle and meditation spaces compassionately as she supports her clients to dive deeper into their own experience, emotions, body and spirit. Bringing ancient wisdom to modern audiences, this aspect of her work holds a community feel, as Sian works to rebalance isolation and disconnection in our digitally driven world.

Ada Garza is a Transition Alchemist and founder of Love.Alchemy.Life – a transformational practice guiding individuals through major life transitions using nervous system healing, breathwork, and somatic practices. With certifications in HeartMath coaching, metaphysics, and trauma-informed breathwork, Ada bridges embodied wisdom with practical nervous system science to support deep emotional transformation and authentic living. Her journey into this work was born from necessity, not theory. After her second divorce in 2023, years of unprocessed grief and emotional suppression manifested as a severe health crisis – complete digestive shutdown, dramatic hair loss, and significant weight loss. Having never experienced serious illness before, Ada was forced to confront what she'd been avoiding: the emotional toll of saying "I'm fine" when she wasn't. This breakdown became her breakthrough, leading her to create methodologies that address the root cause of emotional dysregulation through the nervous system itself. From that crisis emerged The Alchemical Spiral of Healing™ – a three-phase methodology (Feel, Transform, Embody) that guides clients from emotional suppression to soul embodiment. Unlike traditional talk therapy, this approach works directly with the nervous system, energy body, and subconscious patterns through specialized breathwork techniques, energy healing, and somatic movement. Ada's work is grounded in the understanding that the body holds what the mind tries to suppress, and true transformation happens when we learn to feel safely, release what's stored, and embody our authentic selves. As a Metaphysician, HeartMath Certified Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, and Energy Healer, Ada views emotions not as problems to fix, but as messengers guiding us back to wholeness. Her approach combines the nervous system regulation of HeartMath with the transformative power of neurodynamic and holotropic breathwork practices, creating a container where clients can safely access and release decades of stored emotional charge. Ada's philosophy is built on trust and surrender – trusting that the body knows what it needs, and surrendering to what emerges rather than controlling the outcome. Through her signature Alchemical Breathwork sessions, she creates space for clients to access their body's innate wisdom, release ancestral patterns, and remember who they've always been beneath the layers of conditioning and survival strategies. Today, Ada offers individual sessions and intimate group breathwork experiences for those navigating divorce, career transitions, identity shifts, grief, and the uncomfortable space of becoming. Her work resonates particularly with high-functioning individuals who've mastered the art of "holding it together" while their bodies quietly keep score. She supports clients in breaking generational patterns of emotional suppression, building authentic nervous system resilience, and learning to navigate life from joy and self-trust rather than fear and obligation. From corporate burnout to emotional disconnection, from relationship endings to soul reclamation, Ada guides those ready to stop bypassing their emotions and start transforming them – one breath at a time.
