About Carina Bull
Trauma-Aware Reiki Practitioner, Tarot Reader & Intuitive Coach.
I work with women who’ve spent years holding everything together for everyone else… while quietly losing themselves underneath the weight of it all.
Women who look capable on the outside…
but inside feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, resentful, disconnected, or stuck in survival patterns they don’t fully understand.
Because I know what it feels like to live that way too.
For years, I told myself I was “fine.”
I kept coping.
Kept over-giving.
Kept pushing through exhaustion like it was normal.
Until one day I realised survival mode had quietly shaped every part of my life.
The way I thought.
The way I responded to stress.
The way I abandoned myself just to keep everything else functioning.
That’s what led me into this work.
Not because I had all the answers.
But because I know how heavy it feels to carry pain you’ve learnt to minimise, normalise, or hide from everyone around you.
Now, through Tarot, Reiki, and transformational coaching, I help women recognise the lifelong patterns of self-abandonment they were taught to normalise… so they can begin reconnecting with themselves from a place of truth instead of survival.
I’m not interested in surface-level healing or pretending positivity fixes emotional exhaustion.
I believe healing starts with honesty.
With naming what hurts.
What’s draining you.
What keeps repeating.
What you’ve been carrying alone for far too long.
Because just because it was…
doesn’t mean it always has to be.
I’m a certified Transformational Coach, Tarot Reader, and Reiki Practitioner.
My work combines intuitive insight, emotional truth-telling, and trauma-aware support to help women understand the patterns, survival responses, and emotional weight they’ve been carrying for far too long.
I don’t believe in surface-level healing or pretending everything can be fixed with positive thinking.
I believe healing starts with honesty.
With being able to say:
“This isn’t working anymore.”
“I’m exhausted.”
“I can’t keep carrying all of this alone.”
Nothing you say will shock me.
I know what it feels like to sit in the mess of grief, burnout, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and self-abandonment… and still try to appear “fine” on the outside.
That’s why I hold space the way I do: human, grounded, honest, and without judgement.
I’ll tell you what you need to hear, not just what feels comfortable to hear.
Because truth is often where healing begins.
And behind the work, I’m also just a real person.
I’m fiercely loyal, deeply feeling, and happiest when I’m with my family, out in nature, travelling somewhere new, or curled up with coffee beside my little Pomeranian, Einstein.
Those quieter moments remind me that healing isn’t always loud or dramatic.
Sometimes it begins in the smallest moments…
the moment you finally realise you matter too.
I’m not for everyone.
But neither are you.
My work is for women who are ready to stop minimising what they feel, stop carrying everything alone, and start being honest about what’s no longer working.
Women who are tired of surviving their own lives…
and ready to create something different.
Because just because it was…
doesn’t mean it always has to be.
When you’re ready for deeper support, I’ll be here.
Let’s connect here
My Journey to Healing
For a long time, I told myself it wasn’t “that bad.”
I minimised it.
Shrugged it off.
Kept coping.
Kept surviving.
But the truth?
It was that bad.
There were periods of my life where I genuinely didn’t know how I was going to keep going.
I nearly gave up more than once.
And yet somewhere underneath the exhaustion, grief, trauma, anxiety, and survival mode… there was still a part of me that refused to disappear completely.
Growing up, I was often told:
“You’re too sensitive.”
“Be quiet.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
So I learnt to dim myself.
To disconnect from my voice.
To normalise carrying pain in silence.
Until eventually I realised survival mode had shaped the way I saw myself, the way I related to others, and the way I moved through life.
That realisation changed everything.
I was born and raised in the UK before moving to Australia in 2013 with my husband, leaving behind everything we once knew to build a life from scratch.
After several miscarriages, we welcomed our first child in 2018, followed by our second in 2020.
And somewhere underneath all of that… I was still carrying years of pain I hadn’t fully allowed myself to face.
Because healing didn’t begin when I “became positive.”
It began when I finally became honest.
Honest about what hurt.
What exhausted me.
What I could no longer keep pretending was okay.
That’s why I do this work the way I do now.
Not from perfection.
Not from having all the answers.
But from lived experience.
From knowing what it feels like to rebuild yourself after years of surviving.
And from knowing that just because it was…
doesn’t mean it always has to be.
Sometimes we just need support.
Not because we’re weak.
Not because we’ve failed.
But because carrying everything alone eventually becomes exhausting.
You don’t need to have your whole life figured out before reaching out for help.
Most women I work with have spent years trying to cope on their own first.
Minimising what they feel.
Pushing through exhaustion.
Telling themselves they should be able to handle it.
I know how hard it can be to finally say:
“I can’t keep doing this the same way anymore.”
But asking for support can become the moment everything starts changing.
Not overnight.
Not all at once.
But slowly, honestly, and in ways that begin rippling into every part of your life.
Because just because it was…
doesn’t mean it always has to be.
Let’s begin here
You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
You’re allowed to ask for help before you reach breaking point.
You’re allowed to stop carrying everything by yourself.
And just because it was…
doesn’t mean it always has to be.
If you’re ready for support, you can reach out here.
With love,
