I am Hazel Macfarlane. I was born in Glasgow and trained as an architect working almost 20 years in private practice and in various countries. After studying in Edinburgh I lived for a year in Norway, 11 years in London and 11 in Germany before settling in Windermere, North West England, in 2007.
During my 30’s and early 40’s I suffered some health challenges with anxiety, panic attacks, lack of energy and hormone issues. Many of these symptoms are not easy to address through the main medical route and so I turned to holistic therapies and was amazed at the outcomes.
I decided to learn more and am now trained in Reflexology, Reiki, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and following a 2 year training, I am also an Eden Energy Medicine prcatitioner
All of these therapies involve a combination of hands on physical work along with an understanding of how our subtle energy systems work.
Eden Energy Medicine (EEM) specifically covers all of the body’s subtle energy systems and the methods used involve communicating directly with the body to discover what it needs. This is done using arm or leg movements to obtain an energy response through the muscle that guides the practitioner to locations of blocked energy. These amazingly simple techniques help empower the client to a greater understanding of what is happening in their body and through simple exercises will allow them to regain their energy and retain control of their health.
As an architect I trained to understand all aspects of building design and construction, to know the whole picture and how things work. This is why I am drawn to the holistic approach when seeking a health solution and EEM specifically looks into all of our energy systems.
Through my various life experiences and learned knowledge I have developed a passion for working with people to broaden the awareness of what is possible for them, to not only improve their health and wellbeing in the physical body, but also to look at the impact of the environment in which they live and work.
My Passion
I love helping people to find what they are looking for. Especially, if I have discovered a path to that goal already. I want to go back and stick up a sign post, light it up and open a café, just to allow others an easier and more enjoyable path to their goals. I get a thrill in unraveling and wrestling with a problem, finding a solution that works and then watching others enjoying the results. I’m the person that likes a puzzle or a pile of tangled threads that needs unraveling.
It’s this mind set that took me into architecture – to work out how things go together and how people relate to their spaces and it is this mindset that then led me into energy work, by wishing to unravel the reasons for my own health challenges and getting to the root of the problem through the ‘bigger picture’. This lead me to Reflexology, Meridians, Kinesiology, all of which contributed to my improved health by working with the bodies subtle energy systems. These are the systems that are the communicators, facilitators and networkers for our body.
When the right space appeared in my life I grabbed the chance for more study and here I am now.
I am still learning, still developing but using my passion for unraveling the ‘ball of threads’ I wish to show others that those cleared paths exist and to show them where the signposts are.
I know we are ‘Designed to be’ and if you are having health problems and struggling to unravel your ball of string, please get in touch.
