IT'S LOVELY TO MEET YOU!
I am Robyn, the founder of The Honouring Path.
This work is especially close to my heart for those navigating grief, heartbreak, pregnancy loss, abuse or trauma — experiences that require witnessing, support, deep compassion and courage to heal. My intention is to offer a supportive, meaningful experience that I once needed — one that honours emotions, assists the body to release, but also recognizes the soul’s choices for growth & expansion.
Since the mid-1990's I have been exploring, learning and practicing Complimentary Therapies. My experience and curiosity began with a range of alternative methods to support my physical, emotional and mental well-being while navigating healing from injuries, traumatic experiences, grief and loss.
Over the years, I have developed a deep appreciation for the effectiveness of these approaches in supporting my health, emotional regulation, personal growth and reconnection with my heart.
In 2011 I began training and qualified in Usui Reiki alongside my medical career, I continued my education and training in a variety of other modalities, including; Introspective Hypnosis, TFT/EFT, Somatic Techniques and more recently BQH (Beyond Quantum Healing).
Developing a dedicated personal practice has helped me to refine this work. Alongside personal inquiry, consistent self-regulating techniques and practical experience.
Through this work, it is my passion to hold space for deeper healing and a continued sense of connection with clients and loved ones beyond the physical realm.
A little bit about me
My greatest teacher's— loss, grief, abuse & honouring my path
My path of loss and grief began very early in life through a series of traumatic experiences involving parental abandonment/separation/illness, abuse and difficult challenges within my immediate family. These experiences shaped a deep sensitivity to not only my own, but others emotional states around me and a need for safety, connection & understanding.
Years later, three near-fatal car accident's in my twenties resulted in significant injuries, changes to my health and the loss of a career that I loved and enjoyed. Experiencing the sudden and tragic passing of my surrogate father/grandfather when I was 23 years old also brought another level and depth of grief alongside an identity crisis. Learning to navigate my life from a place of rebuilding without the tools to process or move forward in healthy ways was extremely challenging.
At the time, I attended a grief counseling group, and private therapy but I struggled to find the deeper support I needed. When the sessions ended, life continued, but internally I often felt turned upside down and inside out — moving through long periods of emotional numbness, depression, living in survival-mode and still carrying deep grief that had not found a safe space to be processed.
For many years, I moved through life on autopilot, trying to quiet my nervous system and escape the pain I felt within by self-medicating with alcohol, surrounding myself with relationships that supported a party-type lifestyle. Then a few months before my 30th birthday my surrogate mum/grandmother died suddenly and I found myself in the spiral of shock and grief again.
During that time, a friend suggested an alternative style of therapy that included a technique called EMDR. I found the sessions very helpful initially to process some of the shock, CPTSD and grief. EMDR opened the door to my exploration of the mind/body connection but it did not fully address the deeper questions that had followed me since a child. The existential questions about life, death, consciousness, my soul's journey and how could I ever feel joy or the desire to live again with so much grief, loss and pain still inside me.
Early Spiritual Awareness
As a young child I could sense a protective energy around me, especially during dark moments and repeated experiences of abuse. Even amongst all the chaos and the volatile environment I was always profoundly aware that I was very sensitive to other people's energy; it was almost tangible. Random information would also pop into my mind connected to someone or something that was about to happen.
However, it wasn't until the 1990s, that I began to explore what I was sensing, after a surprising encounter with an earth-bound spirit in my home. This moment opened my awareness to the unseen aspects of every day life that I often felt but had never seen in the physical. This led me to explore and experience two past-life regressions, both revealed connections and patterns influencing my present life.
These experiences deepened my curiosity about consciousness, healing and the interconnected nature of life and grief — marking the beginning of my exploration into spiritual and energetic healing practices.
Dark Night of the Soul
In 2011, my life reached a profound turning point when I had to make the extremely difficult decision to euthanize my beloved pet-companion Cody. He had been my trusted companion for 8 years after the passing of my surrogate mum. He had miraculously entered my life to restore a bit of faith, trust, heart healing and unconditional love that was desperately needed.
Up until that point, I had survived through many challenging periods of life; the physical injuries, loss of career(s), homelessness, abusive/toxic relationships and also complex pregnancy loss.
I found myself increasingly isolated, in a deeply disconnected and painful emotional state; until that point every loss equaled so much suffering and pain. Many times my thoughts turned to suicide and I questioned whether I could or even wanted to continue living anymore. No one around me seemed to understand my grief or how complicated/layered it was. My nervous system felt beyond dysregulated, I wasn't able to function and I felt beyond repair; not even alcohol helped me cope the way it had before.
Within this very dark period, strong signs from beyond the veil started to appear. And I realized I wasn't alone, my beloved Cody, my surrogate parents and God/Source/Angels were showing me in ways that they were still with me. It was then that I had a realization — a decision to begin honouring the love shared and somehow start healing my grief instead of being consumed by it.
It was also during this time that I began my training in Usui Reiki and working with energy healing to restore light back into my heart and being. This was the beginning of a return to a more conscious and soul-aware approach to life.
Turning Pain into Purpose—A mid-life Turning Point
In my mid-40s, another layer of grief emerged as I reflected on my past pregnancy-loss' and the ending of my potential to become a mother as I entered menopause.
This brought forward deep feelings of longing for them, reflecting on my life up until that point and the one I still held hope for one day.
During this time, another beloved pet-companion, Suka died during surgery. The grief I felt seemed to parallel with the loss I was also feeling for my spirit babies. I realized that my pet companions, in their own way were surrogates for those losses as well. Also at that time, I was in the process of ending a challenging relationship that did not support my dream of having a family.
I hit another deep layer of loss, grief and depression and I spiraled for many months. However, as we all know, life carries on, bills need to be paid, and my other pet companion Jenna needed my care. During that time, another series of synchronicities and signs from beyond reminded me again, that I was not alone. and to keep moving forward.
It was then, I was "nudged" to explore NDE's (near death experience testimonies) I began a deeper dive into spiritual perspectives around pregnancy-loss, soul agreements and pre-birth contracts. Many of which suggest that experiences like pregnancy-loss hold specific lessons, and purpose within the journey of consciousness and the individual's soul expansion.
While I do not present these ideas as fixed beliefs, they have personally supported me in my process to soften feelings of guilt, shame, self-blame and thoughts of self-harm. Initiating deeper compassion and healing for my heart and broadening understanding of myself, others involved and the wisdom gained.
I will note, that this did not completely erase the grief — but it has created space for healing, reflection and emotional integration that I believe other women can greatly benefit from for soul growth and help to honour their paths.
My Philosophy & Mission
In this chapter of my life, I feel guided to facilitate sessions that honour the sacred connections and soul agreements we hold — both with ourselves and with others.
Healing after loss is a deeply personal journey. There is no right or wrong way to feel and no set path your healing must follow. These sessions offer a compassionate, respectful space where you are free to explore your emotions and experiences in a way that feels authentic to you.
Healing is not about fixing what is “broken,” but about gently peeling back the layers to remember the wholeness that has always been within you. My role is to guide and support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom, self-love and strength—so you can move forward with clarity, resilience, and grace.
The tools I share, I practice myself in day-to-day life. They are simple yet powerful ways to help release old patterns, create healthy boundaries, and step into a more empowered and aligned version of yourself.
My mission is to walk alongside others on their healing journey while continuing to honour my own. What I've learned so far, is that even in life’s most difficult moments, there is always a pathway back to your light and to reclaim your heart.
