Anne Mentors Camella

Energies experienced when reaching out for help:

❤️‍🩹 Camella (22) had been battling with skin issues since adolescence, which has led to feeling hopeless, frustrated, anxious and ashamed. Her constant preoccupation with her skin had taken a toll on her overall well-being, leading her to feel exhausted and at her limit.

Despite understanding the importance of self-acceptance, she found it challenging to apply it meaningfully to her own life. Camella experienced emotional surges she didn’t know what to do with and felt like emotions overpowered her and controlled her life.

• 💖 Intention: Camella’s primary intention was to build her self-esteem, the root cause of her acne challenge, and learn to trust herself. She wanted to find a way to cease battling her mind and instead, listen to her body; to connect with it and understand it better. She desired to feel present with herself.

• 🦋 Motivation: Camella imagines feeling very free – walking out of the house feeling secure and grateful to be her, and brave enough to face the world and go after the things she wants. She yearns to find self-confidence.

What We Cultivated During Her Healing Journey

Created trust by holding space and activating somatic healing:

In the sacred containers of live calls together, she learned how to tune into her body and listen. She was surprised by how assertive her inner voice is. When communicating with inner parts of herself, they were so determined and knew exactly how they felt and what they needed. This was a catalyst for developing self-trust. With somatic guidance she learned what it felt like to ride the visceral wave of her emotions until the swell passed and she was safely on the other side in calm waters. This allowed her to start navigating them on her own as they naturally came up in day-to-day life.

Focused on her energetic blueprint and the story behind her acne:

By utilizing her Human Design and Gene Keys elements, I helped her to understand the energetics and wounding most impacting her skin. This helped her to see her own unique design and feel appreciation for what she has always known about herself. It gave her the confidence and courage to accept (and celebrate!) being different than someone else with their own unique design.

Emotional apathy, her wounded pattern of “attack”:

As an individual with the line 3 in her EQ, I revealed she is carrying a fragment of the Universal Wound of Shame and she “attacks” herself at some deep level when she suppresses the emotions that make her feel vulnerable. Understanding this pattern of self-attack is important, since acne can emerge as an outward manifestation of her psyche feeling constantly under attack.

Empowering her to face difficult emotions head-on:

I introduced her to a range of simple yet powerful emotional release techniques. These embodiment practices and postures served as her companions whenever she found herself facing challenging emotions like anger, shame, and regret. By incorporating these practices into her daily routine, she gained the ability to navigate and transform these uncomfortable emotions. She honed her ability to recognize the emergence of these feelings and respond with grace.

Emotions, her ally in decision-making:

Having an ‘Emotional Authority’, I illuminated that Camella is energetically designed to make decisions based on how something makes her feel. Instead of struggling with her thoughts, becoming consumed by indecision and self-doubt – her emotions can be embraced as her trusted allies and navigators. By incorporating this part of her energetic blueprint, she can cultivate trust in her intuition, decision-making, and gain a deeper understanding of her inner voice.

Fostering a more authentic and balanced approach to social interactions:

Camella expressed that social situations are a big trigger. Her habits in times of stress and pressure are to try and become more extroverted – to push away from feeling vulnerable – or to want to hide/seek isolation (A wounding pattern of Profile Line 6).

Strategy to build inner stability and ease social anxiety:

I supplied her with simple embodiment exercises that focus on training the nervous system to feel safe in social situations and overcome the desire to hide. The beauty of these exercises is that she can practice them in the comfort of her own home or any private space. This allows her to build a sense of security within herself so that when she encounters real-life social scenarios, her nervous system is better prepared and feels more at ease.

Getting comfortable with connection and community:

Camella has a 4th Line in her Profile which means she is here to have a network, to be in community, and to cultivate important and supportive relationships. However, due to her social anxiety, her body formed a defensive shield in the form of acne. This allowed her to keep others at a distance and avoid close scrutiny. In order to fully embrace the part of herself that yearns for connection, she must first feel acknowledged by herself, which opens up feeling at ease around others. As she nurtures this self-connection, gains confidence, and becomes more relaxed in social situations, her body will no longer need to rely on acne as protection, and it can complete the healing cycle.

Results Camella experienced during her journey with Anne:

• “I'm beginning to develop a deeper understanding of myself. Why I feel a certain way, the reasons behind my habits, my thoughts and actions. Most importantly I have so much more compassion for myself which used to feel impossible, but now is slowly getting easier to do, the more I commit to practicing self love.”

• “Being around people is less scary to me. They don't feel like some threatening "other" that I'm removed from. They have fears and insecurities too. I'm not the only one. And I matter to them in ways I never even noticed before.”

• “My biggest win has been getting in touch with my inner voice. I never really trusted my own voice, because I didn't believe it could be trusted. That has shifted immensely. I see the value in my experiences, and the intelligence my body and my entire being holds. I'm noticing how my actions have been flowing lately. Nothing is forced, everything feels like it's coming from a more intuitive place and it just makes life much easier to handle.” 

• “I feel much lighter, not only in my body but also in spirit. This experience has liberated me from feeling completely powerless to my emotions. My relationship with them has changed so much. Even if those feelings still come up sometimes, they don't consume me. I can navigate through them. I feel more confident in my ability to process them, and feel that I can handle any difficult emotions or thoughts with acceptance and compassion towards myself.”

💖 Love Note From Camella

“The biggest discovery for me [while working with Anne] is realizing that I can't deal with everything by myself, that I don't have to, and shouldn't have to. I feel better with that support [from another person] and I'm so glad I learned that about myself. It was something I always shrugged off. I felt if I couldn't improve by myself then it was somehow 'cheating', but I see now that was such a disadvantage to myself. The commitment [to a healing container] was a challenge, but so important. I needed to have someone else involved in order to stick with this and keep trying, not just give up because the results aren't immediate.

I'm just so glad to have learned such a different approach to life. Being introduced to Human Design and all these simple yet effective practices has been such a relief :) The time went by quickly but I am impressed with how much we uncovered and what we got through. 

I also didn't think it would be possible to ever like myself, but now that seems so strange. Because I do appreciate myself for choosing this journey. I see my bravery. Even though my self love/image is a work in progress and at times still a struggle, I feel my strength and perseverance shine through. And on days I don't feel good about anything else, at least I'm proud of that. I see that as a big step forward for me.”
