My journey into spiritual healing and energy consciousness began with a deep loss that shook me to my core. I lost my father and aunt to a sudden aggressive stage 4 cancer that took their lives within months of diagnosis. Witnessing the invasive and unnatural chemotherapy treatments, and the lack of humanity and comfort in end-of-life patient care made me question everything I knew about "medicine."

Through my grief and desperation, I became obsessed with finding natural cures for cancer and anything that anything that did not involve modern "science" or a drug. I researched plant medicine, ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture, reiki, hypnotherapy, raw diet, juicing, and even travelled to the remote countryside of Thailand in search of a well-known Thai folk doctor whose herbal medicines claimed to have healed hundreds of cancer sufferers. The journey took weeks as I joined thousands of faithful people queuing for days to retrieve a mere 8 herbal pills. I was ready to try anything.

Through my search, I began to understand the importance of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physiological wellbeing, not just the physical aspect. I realised that our bodies are not machines we can mechanically tune up when something "malfunctions." Instead, they are vessels of energy that have the power to heal. We can nurture our wellbeing through our mind, actions, thoughts, emotions, and intentions. And so many of us neglect the spiritual healing in our efforts to heal our dis-ease and ailments.

After a decade of success in Marketing, I decided to walk away from my career that had become unfulfilling and disconnected from my deeper values. I realised my career, though it had once been exciting, was ultimately out of alignment with my purpose and sense of meaning. More importantly, I knew I needed space to move through the deep grief and loss and in the corporate world there is no time or space for that.

So I chose to transmute that pain and do the inner work. I found solace in meditation, reiki, plant medicine and crystals, which supported me in a way I never thought possible. They called me to work with healing energy beyond my own needs, inspiring me to train as a Crystal Healer, learn Reiki and sound healing. Spiritual coaching and energy work began filling the void my career could not, giving me a path aligned with nurturing wellbeing and human spirit. I am still learning today, exploring how to share these gifts in the hopes they can comfort others on their journey.

Through The Crystal Van, I hope to share the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to help people find better mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being. Thank you for reading this far, for supporting my purpose, and being a part of my journey. May blessings follow you always.

At The Crystal Van, we believe that crystals are precious gifts from Mother Earth that form naturally in the ground. As they develop, they may have inclusions, irregularities, or cracks. We want you to know that crystals are delicate minerals to work with, and during the process of cutting, polishing, and finishing (mostly done by hand), dents, chips, nicks, or scratches may occur. In fact, it's rare to find a crystal without any marks or imperfections!

It's important to note that any such dents, chips, or scratches on a crystal do not affect its healing properties or potency. We hope that you will accept these crystals for exactly what they are, with all their beauty and (im)perfections.

Please be aware that all sales are final, and we do not accept refunds. We strongly recommend that you check all images and videos carefully before making a purchase to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your crystal.
