    Imbolc, Crystals & Forced Rhubarb

    Imbolc, Crystals & Forced Rhubarb  In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, we welcome the Imbolc and  the Full Moon gently — without pressure, urgency, or the need to reinvent ourselves. As winter begins to soften and Imbolc approaches, we explore this sacred threshold between rest and renewal. A time when nothing looks fully formed, yet everything is quietly awakening beneath the surface. We share how Imbolc invites us to trust subtle momentum, honour natural rhythms in life and business, and allow the year to meet us in its own time. Drawing on our work with crystals and energy healing, we discuss supportive Imbolc crystals and how to work with them for surrender, clarity, and gentle new beginnings. The episode includes a short guided crystal meditation, helping you connect with the returning light, calm the nervous system, and nurture what is beginning to stir within you — without forcing it into bloom. This is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and tend the inner flame as the days gradually grow brighter.

    Light Over Fear: Clearing Entities & Hauntings

    In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, our conversation is about entities. We explore what entities, spirits and energetic attachments really are, how they form and why they may attach to people or spaces. Vikki draws on her real-life experience and professional practice and shares how crystal therapy is used to safely and compassionately release ghosts, spirits, and narcissistic energetic attachments — without fear, force or confrontation. We discuss how hauntings occur, the difference between residual energy and conscious entities and why personal energetic boundaries are key to lasting protection. This episode is about education, empowerment and restoring balance through light, clarity and conscious awareness.

  3. Working with the Deep Stuff!

    JAN 13

    Working with the Deep Stuff!

    In this episode, Chris and I talk about the deeper side of crystal therapy — the kind of work that isn’t always gentle or easy, but is often profoundly healing. I share some real life experiences that show how crystal therapy can open space for deep emotional release and powerful shifts. My Crystal Healing teacher told me early in my training that my future healing sessions wouldn’t be 'nice and fluffy', but would be about working with the heavy stuff, the deep stuff, the places where real change happens. We explore: • What a crystal therapy session with me actually looks like in practice • Why powerful sessions aren’t always comfortable, but are transformative • How clients experience release, insight and emotional breakthroughs • The responsibility of holding space for healing • Why this kind of work requires trust, courage and compassion If you’ve ever wondered what happens beyond surface-level wellbeing, this episode offers an honest look at the depth, truth and beauty of crystal therapy when it’s used for real inner work.

    Naughty Chakras & Shiny Crowns

    In this episode of The Empress & The Rock, we’re getting grounded — literally. From head spinning detachment & upside down triangles to tree hugging and the crystals that will root you to the floor, we explore how to keep connected. We chat about the Root Chakra and why it’s your energetic tether to feeling safe and secure, and the Crown Chakra that helps you rise and expand. How do you balance the two? How do you know when you’re not grounded (hello overthinking, clumsiness, or feeling like you’re floating off)? And most importantly, what can you do about it? We’ll share our favourite grounding crystals, simple techniques to tether yourself back into your body, and why nature — especially trees & crystals — might be the ultimate healers. So if you’ve been feeling scattered, unsteady or just in need of a big energetic exhale, this one’s for you.

    The Messy Moments

    This week we're talking about the 'messy middle' those gloriously dull moments, the bits where you're slogging, doubting, learning yet still carrying on. Those bits in life that are actually gold! We share our own messy moments and what we do and use to get through them. In order to get to the magic. I chat about my kundalini yoga pain and what that has taught me, my Sacred mornings and share my Moldavite magic moment in a very messy and painful chapter of my life. Whilst Chris shares his moments of order and how that helps him amongst the chaos of life.   We also asked you to share with us the Wow crystal you went for that helped you in the messy moments of life.

    Let's ROAR baby

    Portals, Mountain Tops and Travelators! In this episode we discuss the Lions Gate Portal, a planetary travelator that gives us a massive energy boost allowing us to manifest and create. The date of the portal is linked to Chris’ birthday too, so it's especially important for us it would seam. 8.8 From  Rio de Janeiro, numerology, golden rutiles on mountain tops  to growing apple trees, but only on a firm footing, our conversation meanders along nicely.  I do try to explain why there is no need to panic if you miss this event though, (no FOMO allowed here), and how you can use it to help you grow and succeed.

    Crystals, Cords & Cosmic Farts!!

    Which crystal changed your life the most? In this revealing episode, we’re diving deep into our most transformational crystal moments—the kind that cracked us wide open, woke us up, and maybe even made us cry or fart. We’ll share how morning meditation with crystals became a powerful tool to help with addiction, release, and renewal, and how YOU can use crystals to root then rise. We chat about stalky cords draining your energy, how to tap into the wisdom of your Lemurian past-life guides, and laugh your chakras off with some unexpected crystal side effects.

    Welcome to Episode 2 of the Empress & The Rock. This week we're talking morning rituals. The things Vikki (mostly) and I try to do every morning to set us up for the day.
