Why Do A Past Life or Ancestral Reading?

I began offering Ancestral and Past Life Readings not as a gimmick or spiritual curiosity, but because I have lived the questions they seek to answer.

For much of my life, I carried burdens that did not feel entirely my own. Griefs with no name. Fears with no source. Desires that did not match my present. I used to think I was just too sensitive. Too intense. Too complicated. But through ancestral work and past life exploration, I came to realise that so much of what we carry did not start with us.

There are stories written in the marrow of our bones.
Patterns woven through generations.
Choices we never made, yet still feel the consequences of.

As a sociologist, I was trained to look at structures, histories, and lineages of power. When I turned that same lens inward, ancestral readings became a way to trace echoes across bloodlines and family systems. They allow me to name the silent griefs and quiet strengths of those who came before me, especially the ones who were erased, misjudged, or silenced. This work helps me honour what is mine to hold and release what is not. It is about healing the lineage as much as the individual. And in doing so, I came to know myself more deeply.

There is also a deeper truth that lives in me. It is not something I can trace to a single moment, but it has always been there. A sense of exile. A knowing of when to walk away. A bone-deep resistance to those who act in bad faith or betray what is sacred. That knowing is ancestral. I carry the imprint of those who chose integrity over comfort. Who left homelands when staying meant soul-death. Who spoke the truth when silence was easier. I have never been able to unsee what is broken. I have never accepted that loyalty means staying inside systems that punish the soul. That knowing lives in me like a compass.

Past life readings remind me that I am a mosaic of lives lived. That my wisdom, fears, and gifts come from a soul that has worn many faces. When I uncover a past life, I do not treat it as escapist fantasy. I treat it as an archaeological dig of the psyche. These stories hold clues about why I am drawn to certain people, why I resist certain roles, and why I feel at home in places I have never been.

One of my own past life explorations revealed a lifetime shaped by duty and sacrifice. It echoed my present-day patterns of overwork and self-denial. Seeing that story helped me understand why responsibility felt so heavy, and gave me permission to choose freedom. That is what this work offers. Not proof, but perspective. Not rules, but resonance.

This is also different from mediumship. I am not channeling messages from spirits who have passed on. I am not acting as a bridge between you and a deceased loved one. I help you uncover and make sense of the inherited and soul-level imprints that shape your present. It is not about receiving messages. It is about uncovering patterns, histories, and narratives that live within you.

And here is the thing.
You do not need to believe in reincarnation or subscribe to every spiritual concept to find value in this work.
You just need to be curious.

If you have ever wondered why certain family dynamics keep repeating
If you have felt stuck in patterns you cannot explain
If you are trying to make sense of your reactions, blocks, or instincts

These readings offer a different kind of map. They are not about blind faith. They are about deeper framing. Sometimes the story is not meant to be proven. It is meant to help you solve the puzzle of your life with a new language.

Because whether we view past lives as metaphors, soul memories, or psychological symbolism, they still give us tools. And sometimes, that is exactly what we need to move forward.

This work does not give me all the answers.
But it gives me context.
It gives me agency.
It gives me peace.

And I offer that same opportunity to others.

Because I believe you deserve to know what shaped you.
You deserve to lay your ghosts to rest.
And you deserve to walk forward not just healed, but whole.

A Note on Ancestral Work and Cultural Context

I approach Ancestral Work with reverence, care, and an understanding that it means very different things across cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions.

While I offer Ancestral and Past Life Readings as part of my practice, I do not claim universal authority on what this work should look like. I recognise that for some, especially First Nations communities, ancestral connection is something sacred, embedded in ongoing cultural law, kinship systems, and land-based knowledge. I will never tell an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person how they should engage with their ancestors, nor do I impose my framework onto traditions that are not mine to speak for.

My work draws on archetype, symbolism, embodied intuition, and soul-level patterning. It is one lens among many. I welcome different perspectives and hold space for other ways of knowing. This is not a dogmatic practice. I do not assume that my understanding of ancestry is universal. I simply offer it as one possible tool, shaped by my own lived experience and deep inner study.

My Lineage and Positionality

I come from South African and Irish ancestry. My family on one side are Coloured South Africans — a term that has complex and often painful historical weight. In South Africa, it was used to describe people of mixed heritage, often native-coloniser descendants. It is the term my family identified with, but I understand not everyone appreciates or accepts that term, especially outside of its original context. Please tread carefully if you use it.

I am white-passing, but because of my mixed heritage, I do not look clearly Anglo-Celtic or European. People often look at me but are never quite sure where to place me. That ambiguity has shaped how I move through the world — always reading the room, always aware of how race, culture, and perception shape belonging and power. It has made me especially attuned to how identity is policed, how stories are erased, and how much of ourselves we are asked to silence in order to be seen as “acceptable.”

This embodied awareness runs deep in my work. I understand that not everyone can engage with ancestral or past life work from the same place. For some, there is trauma tied to origin stories. For others, there is silence or severance. My goal is never to overwrite your truth. It is to help you explore it — gently, ethically, and with full respect for your autonomy and cultural reality.
