About Carina Bull
Trauma-Aware Reiki Practitioner, Tarot Reader & Intuitive Coach.
I work with women whoβve spent years holding everything together for everyone elseβ¦ while quietly losing themselves underneath the weight of it all.
Women who look capable on the outsideβ¦
but inside feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, resentful, disconnected, or stuck in survival patterns they donβt fully understand.
Because I know what it feels like to live that way too.
For years, I told myself I was βfine.β
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.
Thatβs what led me into this work.
Not because I had all the answers.
But because I know how heavy it feels to carry pain youβve 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.
Iβm not interested in surface-level healing or pretending positivity fixes emotional exhaustion.
I believe healing starts with honesty.
With naming what hurts.
Whatβs draining you.
What keeps repeating.
What youβve been carrying alone for far too long.
Because just because it wasβ¦
doesnβt mean it always has to be.
Iβm 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 theyβve been carrying for far too long.
I donβt 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:
βThis isnβt working anymore.β
βIβm exhausted.β
βI canβt keep carrying all of this alone.β
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-abandonmentβ¦ and still try to appear βfineβ on the outside.
Thatβs why I hold space the way I do: human, grounded, honest, and without judgement.
Iβll 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, Iβm also just a real person.
Iβm fiercely loyal, deeply feeling, and happiest when Iβm 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 isnβt always loud or dramatic.
Sometimes it begins in the smallest momentsβ¦
the moment you finally realise you matter too.
Iβm 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 whatβs no longer working.
Women who are tired of surviving their own livesβ¦
and ready to create something different.
Because just because it wasβ¦
doesnβt mean it always has to be.
When youβre ready for deeper support, Iβll be here.
Letβs connect here
My Journey to Healing
For a long time, I told myself it wasnβt βthat bad.β
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 didnβt 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:
βYouβre too sensitive.β
βBe quiet.β
βYou donβt know what youβre talking about.β
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 thatβ¦ I was still carrying years of pain I hadnβt fully allowed myself to face.
Because healing didnβt begin when I βbecame positive.β
It began when I finally became honest.
Honest about what hurt.
What exhausted me.
What I could no longer keep pretending was okay.
Thatβs 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 wasβ¦
doesnβt mean it always has to be.
Sometimes we just need support.
Not because weβre weak.
Not because weβve failed.
But because carrying everything alone eventually becomes exhausting.
You donβt 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:
βI canβt keep doing this the same way anymore.β
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 wasβ¦
doesnβt mean it always has to be.
Letβs begin here
You donβt have to do this alone anymore.
Youβre allowed to ask for help before you reach breaking point.
Youβre allowed to stop carrying everything by yourself.
And just because it wasβ¦
doesnβt mean it always has to be.
If youβre ready for support, you can reach out here.
With love,
Carina x
