What happens when evidence-based trauma therapy meets intuitive, embodied healing?

In this powerful episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa Aston Michael speaks with licensed professional counsellor and EMDR-certified therapist Kiara Brown, founder of Luna Counselling, about the evolving landscape of trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and holistic psychotherapy.

Kiara shares her deeply personal journey of rediscovering her intuitive and spiritual gifts in her 30s after years of suppressing them while growing up as the youngest of six in a blended family. Her story unfolds into a powerful exploration of how trauma, both personal and generational, can be stored in the body and expressed through dysregulated nervous system responses.

Together, Lisa and Kiara explore the integration of EMDR therapy, somatic healing, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and embodied trauma work, highlighting how true healing happens when the mind and body are brought back into connection.

This conversation also dives into the impact of modern life stressors; constant digital stimulation, social media pressure, and information overload, and how these factors can intensify anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and unresolved trauma patterns across generations.

Kiara offers a grounded and compassionate perspective on healing, emphasising:

• Why trauma is often stored physically, not just mentally
• How generational and even pre-verbal trauma can shape our nervous system
• The importance of self-compassion and authentic motivation in healing
• Why real change begins with what you are willing to do for yourself
• How joy is not a luxury, but a vital part of deep healing and transformation

If you’re interested in trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, nervous system healing, somatic psychotherapy, holistic counselling, and emotional regulation, this episode offers both clinical insight and deeply human wisdom.

Tune in for a grounded yet expansive conversation on what it truly means to heal, from the inside out.

In this powerful episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa Aston Michael sits down with transformational mentor and energy worker Paul Quinton to explore the deeper mechanics of spiritual awakening, soul consciousness, and human transformation.

Paul shares his extraordinary lifelong connection to the spiritual realm, growing up in a psychic family where communication with spirit was a normal part of everyday life. From early séances to navigating shadow encounters and multidimensional awareness, his journey offers a grounded yet expansive look into what it truly means to live spiritually aware in a physical world.

At the heart of the conversation is Paul’s groundbreaking Alignment Modality: A four-part transformational system designed to guide individuals through activation, shadow integration, intuitive development, and ultimately, connection with the higher self. Together, Lisa and Paul explore how emotional healing, observation without judgment, and nervous system recalibration can unlock intuitive abilities and deepen self-awareness.

This episode also dives into practical spiritual tools, including soul connection practices, meditation in nature, and learning to recognise emotions as gateways rather than obstacles. Paul also reframes spiritual guides as aspects of our own higher consciousness, offering a refreshing and empowering perspective on personal growth.

Whether you are exploring spiritual awakening, energy healing, psychic development, shadow work, intuition training, or higher self connection, this episode offers grounded wisdom and practical steps for real transformation.

Plus, hear about Paul’s upcoming live healing sessions, where listeners can experience his work in real time.

What if your illness, your patterns… even the challenges in your life… aren’t random?

In this powerful episode, Lisa Aston Michael sits down with Fran Bailey, founder of the SHEVA METHOD, to explore how energy healing, the Enneagram, and spiritual alignment can transform the way you understand your life, and your healing.

Fran shares her extraordinary journey; from a near-death experience during a canoe accident to healing herself from cervical cancer using her own energetic method. This life-changing path led her to develop the SHEVA METHOD, a unique framework designed to help people release karmic blocks, energetic trauma, and emotional patterns that keep them stuck.

Together, Lisa and Fran explore how energetic misalignment can manifest in the body and in life, and how learning to tune into your own energy can create profound transformation. Fran explains how she intuitively senses imbalances within the body, mind, and soul - and how the Enneagram helps tailor healing approaches to each individual’s personality type.

This episode dives into:

• How energy healing and the Enneagram can work together for deep transformation
• Understanding karmic release and how past patterns impact your present life
• Fran’s near-death experience and how it awakened her spiritual gifts
• The connection between mind, body, and soul alignment
• How to connect with your higher self through meditation and grounding
• Why personal healing can shift your relationships and life direction

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or like something in your life just isn’t quite aligned… this conversation offers a new perspective on what’s really possible.

** Special Invitation:
Fran is hosting a FREE Enneagram mini-course on April 29, where you can explore your personality type and learn how to work with your energy more consciously. Be sure to follow her for details and registration.
