Transform your life through shadow work

Shadow work involves delving into your subconscious to meet and heal your 'shadow self' - the 'darker side' of your personality. This often includes aspects of your self that you have repressed out of fear and shame because they do not conform to the environment around you.

• Become more self-aware, and better understand your emotions, insecurities and triggers
