Stella’s Light
Hey All!
Welcome to Stella's Light Healing. My name is Anna and I am the Owner and Founder of Stella's Light Healing and Thornbury Apothecary. I am living in the northern suburbs of Melbourne with my mini menagerie. After graduating with 3 degrees in Marine Biology, Secondary Education and a Master's in Education, I started my career as a Science Teacher and later, in October 2014 I created Stella's Light Healing. For the last 10 years I have run Stella's Light Healing alongside my part time teaching job.
In the beginning…
The idea of Stella's Light Healing began many years ago practicing on friends and family. In the winter of 2006 through a mutual friend I was introduced to Peter Adherne. He became a good friend and a spiritual mentor. Sadly, Peter passed away in September 2009 from cancer. During his time mentoring and guiding me he had inspired and directed me to strengthen my spiritual awareness through meditation classes and harnessing my intuition using a range of exercises.
In October of 2013 I made the decision to formally establish Stella's Light Healing in honour of Peter and my Uncle Joe. I wanted to create a healing hub aimed to empower clients to see the light within themselves and how to take the next steps on their own. Over the years I have learned more than one type of healing technique and have become accredited in the following:
Reiki Level II trained by an ARC Reiki Master.
Ear/Body Candling qualification by an accredited IICT and TGA practitioner & trainer.
Cupping Therapy by an accredited IICT practitioner & trainer.
Intuitive Healing trained by Peter Adherne from Soul Song.
Chinese Astrology "Pillars of Destiny" and Feng Shui - Cert IV
Sound Bowl Healing
With my intuition I approach each healing session in a unique way by reading the client's energy. The healing room is an intimate space filled with crystals, plants, a sprinkle of colour, light and love, dedicated in making you feel at home and comfortable. If you have any questions about any of the healing treatments on offer please do not hesitate to contact me via email, phone or text.
Now…
In 2020, during the pandemic, my little shelf shop that I had in my room moved online due to the demand for crystals, sage, and natural home organic healing remedies. From a shelf shop to manifesting my own space was my next step. The idea formed in my head 2 years prior, however, serious thought didn’t begin until the pandemic hit and hey presto rental spaces hit the market and became affordable.
I stumbled across this little shop admiring all its dusty, musky, pink and blue interior, and like a vision, I was given exactly what to do. It was clear to me, but for Builder Dave and Jax they looked at me and allowed my creativity to just flow. It was fun renovating and visiting the same five places nearly everyday to make the dream happen. We are so proud of what we have created, a little gem, a wondrous healing space where classes are on offer and a range of therapists use the space.
So welcome to Thornbury Apothecary. We are so honoured and proud to share our little sanctuary with you!
We Have Moved
We are now located just up the road from our old space at 800 High St, Thornbury next door to Thornbury Picture House. As we are growing and expanding our 11 practitioners needed more room and space. We have now nestled into our new space with four active rooms available and our beautiful shop front. We can’t wait to see you!
