We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Carey Selk a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Carey, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

A defining moment in my professional path was when I was looking for the next step as a Counsellor. I was ready for change, and in reflection, I was searching for my calling or higher purpose. Through a magazine article around finding your passion and purpose it suggested to look on your bookshelf for guidance and insight. My bookshelf was filled with books on energy and healing. Bringing awareness to what was not in my vision, and trusting in the “unseen” on many levels, allowed me to consciously choose what my higher self was affirming and guiding me to versus what my ego might desire.

Carey, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

With a background in Counselling I was passionate about the mind / body connection. I was interested in exploring alternative healing, and addressing issues on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. My journey kept guiding me to places I hadn’t explored or discovered that were key to be able to move forward in my life. Through programs and training in Integrative Energy Healing, Trauma and Self-Regulation, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Birth and birth trauma, and Shamanic healing I was able to address unconscious and unseen issues that were ready to be seen and acknowledged. This journey along with an awakening experience allows me to tune into the unseen for others. Being Clairvoyant and Clairsentient I am able to guide people in issues arising where they may feel overwhelmed, stuck, lost, confused, disconnected, dealing with a loss, transitions, birth, or awakening to their calling and gifts. Services or sessions I offer are by phone or zoom online where we address the unconscious issues arising on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels so you are able to be present to insights, guidance and next steps, allowing you to be grounded, connected, in your power, to experience the freedom and clarity to live your dreams and visions. I am very proud to have followed and continue to follow my internal compass, wisdom and guidance despite the unknowns and fears that arise. That is where you shine your light!

If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?

I feel very grateful in my life to have had the experiences I have had. I feel the experiences and professions we have in life guide us to our present moment on our life’s journey. The integration of life’s experience allows one to be living their greater calling. In my experience, the journey of life and awakening is a state of evolving. Aspects of what I offer professionally may have been around when I was choosing a profession, however a lot has evolved over time, especially with energy medicine and alternative healing. What I offer now is unique and has evolved from an integration of my awakening journey to support others navigating their journey to be able to live their gifts.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

A lesson that has been important is listening or trusting your inner guidance from a place of greater awareness or being. In general we are living in a world that has been very logically driven, ie. taking action, just to take action, or basing decisions on logic. We are now able to give space to our intuitive guidance more and are seeing the value in doing so. Ideally it is good to be present to both, taking action from a place of intuitive knowing. Another way to see this might be moving forward or taking action not just from your head, but your whole being. This shows up in many ways, however it is important to be making a choice based on what intuitively is being guided in connection with what would makes sense logically.

The greater backstory would have been my birth and being induced. Being born with pressure from the outside or external world would naturally support me moving forward, as it did at that time. However, being able to tune into and feel when to move forward with your my inherent guidance from an aligned and connected place is the ideal. So allowing myself space to connect with my intuition, especially when feeling pressure is counterintuitive to what I would naturally feel, and yet is the way to access my inner guidance and move forward in connection.

Our world and our senses naturally lead us outward for guidance, and it is important to give space to our intuitive knowing and guidance in our daily lives and journey to be living in connection.
