A journey that began with one step
Since her early 20s, Pascale has been passionate about personal development and natural healthcare, specifically the human interactions with our social, economic and ecological environments. However, holistic health practitioner was not the career path she started down.
The two careers couldn’t be more different. After completing a business administration degree, she joined the corporate world, which she found stimulating. But 25 years on, her physical and mental exhaustion revealed a significant gap between her work/life pattern and her core values.
Her aspirations – to understand her true self and help others do the same – were unfulfilled, and her health was seriously affected. Her mobility was affected by intense muscular tension, her stamina diminished, and physiologically she was ageing quicker than she should.
How it all started
Then, eleven years ago, she crossed the path of a lady in Hastings who offered to give her shiatsu for the first time. She entered the practice highly tense, frustrated and angry, with her shoulders up to her ears.
One hour later, she was floating in the air yet very grounded, and a neck that had never felt so long! She couldn’t stop crying as years of suppressed emotions were released. It was the revelation her unconscious was looking for.
Back in London, she contacted the shiatsu school where this lady trained. Call it serendipity, but a discovery weekend was about to start!
A true calling
She never left the school until she graduated in 2014. This journey was destined to be. She learnt to look after herself holistically and see optimal health as the best asset she will ever have. She learnt to accept her limitations and consider herself and her environment as the key to health and happiness.
A year after graduation, with the comforting knowledge that her true soul had finally found her, she decided to quit her job. She focused on her shiatsu practice and continued to improve her optimal health while helping others find theirs.
Over time she’s realised that to achieve sustainable transformation, she needed to continue her exploration of the holistic health world and have the courage to take innovative directions. Hence, her decision to launch The Health Mastery Collaborative. A space for people in need who want to improve their health and well-being and find their authentic selves.
