Hello and welcome. My name is Sharon Curran and I am the proprietor of Soulflower Therapies. It is true that many people who choose this path do so having been through difficult times themselves and I am no exception. When I was in my early 30s, I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Talking to someone for the first time made me realise that whilst I was naturally quite extrovert, internally there were parts of me that never felt good enough and lacked any sense of trust or faith in myself or life. I had been functioning with high levels of anxiety and fear without any real awareness for many years, having adopted many different unconscious coping strategies in an attempt to soothe the internal unrest. But when my body could no longer cope with the effect this was having, everything crashed and I was left in a state of chronic fatigue that left me struggling to leave the house.

It took me a number of years before I realised this ‘crash’ and ‘disorder’ were invitations in disguise. I was being invited to find my true self and allow her to blossom and shine; to meet and integrate all parts of me that were in pain, hiding, too scared to be seen and were using fear, panic and worry as a means to survive. This level of deep transformation doesn’t happen overnight. I’ve explored many disciplines, practices and spiritual teachings over the course of the last 20 years as I’ve journeyed deep into my own psyche and nervous system. I am passionate about helping others by sharing the tools and skills that have helped me to live my life more authentically through the lens of love instead of fear.
