Turning Trauma into Tranquillity: How Nature, Ancient Wisdom, and My Own Energy Healed Me

Sometimes life has a way of throwing you into the deep end when you least expect it. One moment, everything felt like it was in place, and the next, my world was turned upside down. A sudden family problem triggered a cascade of stress that overwhelmed my body, pushing me into a health crisis I could never have imagined.

What followed were a series of health challenges: mycoplasma pneumonia, a benign thyroid tumor, and then, most painfully, stage 4 endometriosis. Each of these moments felt like my body was sending a loud message: something wasn’t right, and it was time to break free from the chaos and the drama.

That’s when I started to turn trauma into tranquillity.

The Healing Path: Nature, My Beloved Dog, and My Mind

At my lowest, nature became my refuge. I leaned into the quiet of the outdoors, found solace in the unconditional love of my dog, and channeled all my energy into healing. But it wasn’t just about sitting with my pain,  it was about learning, growing, and discovering a way forward that was more aligned with my body and soul.

I began researching natural plant alternatives. At first, it was a welcome distraction from the stress, but then it became an obsession. I didn’t just learn about plants in the conventional way.  I dove deep into their chemical structure, their growing patterns, and how they’d been used throughout history for their healing properties. I connected with their spiritual energy, learning how ancient Egyptians, Chinese traditions, and my own ancestors had used them to heal and regenerate.

I started growing plants — even attempting to cultivate my own rainforest. Through this process, I learned to feel closer to nature and its healing power, though at the time, I didn’t even realise I was practicing the ancient Japanese art of Shinrin Yoku;  forest bathing. Nature became a form of medicine, and I became its patient and practitioner.

The Power of Human Design and Energy Channeling

As I continued my journey of self-discovery, I learned something that would change everything: according to Human Design, I am a Reflector. Only 1% of the population share this energy type, and I had never before understood how profoundly it shaped me. As a Reflector, I am deeply impacted by my environment and the energies around me. I channel this energy into the products I create, infusing them with power, intention, and frequency.

Three years ago, I stumbled upon this revelation, and that’s when I truly began to understand how my body, mind, and energy systems worked in harmony. Around the same time, I started studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, which helped me refine and channel this energy even further. I finally felt like I had the tools to not just heal, but to thrive.

Planting Seeds, Speaking to My Plants, and Embracing the Power of Words

One of the simplest joys in my healing journey has been planting seeds. There’s something deeply fulfilling about tending to a plant, watching it grow from nothing into something beautiful. I would talk to my plants without even realising it , not just as a way to pass the time, but as a quiet form of connection. It turns out, I wasn’t the only one who believed in this connection.

Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work on water and consciousness taught us that the energy we send out into the world can impact molecular structure. Our words, thoughts, and feelings matter. The way we speak to ourselves and to others holds power. So, every time I spoke to my plants, I was unknowingly participating in a larger process of energetic exchange. The lessons here aren’t just about nature, they’re about self-love and the importance of nurturing your own spirit with the same kindness we offer to others.

Kouraz: The Fusion of Ancient Wisdom, Modern Energy, and My Healing Journey

Kouraz is the embodiment of everything I’ve learned, experienced, and healed through over the last 20 years. It’s the merging of my energy as a Reflector with the powerful traditions of my ancestors, ancient Egyptian wisdom, Japanese healing practices, and Chinese medicine. This fusion is not by accident. Every step, every discovery, and every healing moment brought me here. Kouraz exists because of these teachings, and it’s the very reason I’m here today alive, thriving, and more connected than ever to myself and the world around me.

Conclusion

I didn’t just create Kouraz as a skincare brand. I created it as a sanctuary  a space where nature, wisdom, and energy converge. Each product is more than an ingredient list , it’s a reflection of the energy I pour into it, of the history that connects us all, and of the healing that happens when we align with the earth and our true selves. Kouraz is here to support your journey of self-renewal  turning pain into power, just as I did.

I am here because of these realisations. These are not by accident. They are the steps I took, and they are the steps that continue to shape who I am and how I serve the world.

Take courage. Take Kouraz. You begin now.
