Think Lilo Origins
People often ask me where the name Think Lilo came from. For a long time, the only way I could describe my experience of anxiety and overwhelm was that I felt like I was drowning in the sea of my own emotions. As a highly sensitive person, I often found it difficult to process and understand my emotions, and life could feel overwhelming to navigate.
Think Lilo was born from the idea that when life feels overwhelming, we don't always need to keep swimming. Sometimes we simply need a safe place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves - mind, body, and spirit.
From a young age, I knew I wanted to work with people. I studied psychology at university and truly fell in love with understanding the mind and what shapes us as individuals. I imagined my future as a therapist, supporting people through the weight of everyday life. But over time, I began to realise it wasn't quite my true calling. It felt as though there was a missing piece of the puzzle - a bridge between science and the human spirit.

I never imagined Reiki would become such an important part of my life. I discovered Reiki in my late twenties, during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I was navigating grief and loss while trying to balance a demanding career, and although I was doing everything I could to keep going, I felt completely disconnected from myself.
I wasn't living with purpose anymore, I was simply surviving.
A close friend suggested we book a Reiki session together. I didn't know much about Reiki at the time, but I went with an open mind and an open heart.

The Shift
During that first treatment, something shifted. As I relaxed, I became aware of just how much sadness I had been carrying. Tears filled my eyes, followed by an overwhelming sense of peace. The pain hadn't disappeared, but it no longer felt like it was consuming me. For the first time in a long time, I felt lighter, calmer, and hopeful.
That experience sparked something in me. I began reading about Reiki, exploring energy healing, and receiving regular treatments. I realised I had found the missing piece I was searching for - a way of bringing together my passion for people, with a more holistic understanding of healing.
When the opportunity came to train as a Reiki practitioner, I didn't hesitate. I had a dream of creating a safe space for others, where people could slow down without feeling guilty, reconnect with themselves without judgement, and feel safe enough to simply be whilst experiencing the power and love of Reiki.

Today, that's the space I hope to offer through Think Lilo. Whether you're carrying stress, navigating change, processing emotions, or simply longing for a moment of calm, my intention is that you leave each session feeling a little lighter, a little more connected to yourself, and reminded that you don't have to carry everything on your own. Healing looks different for everyone, and there is never any expectation to arrive feeling a certain way. You are welcome exactly as you are.
Think Lilo isn't just the name of my business. It's the reminder I still give myself whenever life feels overwhelming. To slow down. To breathe. To remember that I don't always have to keep swimming - sometimes, it's enough to simply float.
