Meet Mary Treen

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mary Treen a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Mary, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I love this question because I found my purpose when I stopped searching for it. Through a deep healing journey, I focused on why I wanted to find it – that’s when I started to remember my purpose. As a child, I was profoundly sensitive to people, animals, and the natural world. But like many of us, I neglected and buried my intuitive gifts, stumbling through an untethered life of trial and error.

I did find success in the corporate world, but it came at a steep cost. Neglecting my well-being, creativity, and truest needs left me grappling with intense anxiety, frustration, and a nagging-hollow sense of dissatisfaction. My quest for purpose often seemed hopeless, and I wondered if I would ever find it. Slowly, I realized that I couldn’t find the clarity I needed alone.

So, I finally reached out for support and energy healing was the key. This support helped me reconnect with my unique energy and the language of my intuition. I was able to reunite with all the parts of myself I had rejected, buried & forgotten.

Through my deep healing, I discovered that the wisdom, clarity & direction I had been seeking was waiting patiently within me the whole time.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Growing up in northern Alberta, Canada, I always felt out of place and a pull to be near the sea & in my early 20s, through a series of synchronicities, I moved alone to the west coast of Canada. That’s where my healing journey began with years of untreated anxiety & depression, rolling into a heart-wrenching divorce and then desperately trying to fit into a life and a successful 9-5 career that led me to a seemingly never-ending dark night of the soul.

My healing journey reawakened my empathic and intuitive gifts and guided me to study meditation, energy work and the transformative power of Reiki healing. Moving from the corporate world to the spiritual world gave me a new-found direction. Becoming a Reiki Level 3 master practitioner and studying the intuitive arts revealed more of how I was meant to express my purpose.

Once I embraced my calling, I knew how I was meant to serve others. I delved deeper into more energy healing practices, developing my intuition & expanding the space I hold by receiving my certification as an End-of-Life Doula.

All these healing modalities helped me create treenlight healing – offering transformative holistic energy care blended with intuitive guidance for grounded results. I’m here to help sensitive seekers recognize and release what no longer serves them.

So they can remember, accept and love who they really are. In The Key, my 4-month healing journey, It’s been humbling to witness the shifts that clients experience that are nothing short of life-changing soul work.

In 2021, I was inspired to create the much-loved podcast INTUITIVE SEEK. Where we delve into the magical realm of energy and intuition with a refreshingly down-to-earth approach.

Each episode covers everything from monthly energy impressions, interviews, personal stories & practices – all aimed to remind the listeners that they are the guru and the oracle. That their intuition is the greatest teacher they’ll ever know. I also offer intuitive podcasting support sessions for anyone who is feeling called to share their voice and start a heart-led podcast.

As I shared before, meditation is very important to me, and I host live weekly meditations as a teacher on Insight Timer.

Most recently, I am excited to expand my group work to offer a new online healing and development circle called Wild Trust – a group sanctuary for you to have the space to rediscover the harmony and calm within. Embrace your innate wisdom, learn the language of your intuition, and reconnect to the beautiful depths of your unique energy.

This intimate circle took two years to create, and the 7-months are carefully designed to nurture and support you through the lens of grounded intuitive energy healing and intuitive development.

The Wild Trust group journey will help you unearth & reconnect with your authentic self as you navigate all the beautiful depths of your energy – where you will remember that your life is not something to take control of but a tapestry of love and purpose for you to follow.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
In my experience, the three most impactful skills for folks who are early in their journey are,

1. Finding a simple meditation practice that you can commit to doing consistently. Meditation was the doorway to remembering my purpose. Meditation helps you ground your energy and calm your nervous system. Getting grounded and still enough each day to allow your imagination to be a translator for your intuition can offer the wisdom & clarity you are seeking.

2. Making space for your emotions and learning what the energy of your emotion feels like in your physical body. This helps you remember how to get back to your centre – to get out of your head and back into your heart. Through your journey, you may want to look outside of yourself for direction but the key is knowing how to look within. The energy of your emotions can help to guide you.

3. Creating an energetic hygiene routine. Just like your physical body, your energy needs cleansing and care, too. There are many ways to care for your energy and, it’s important to find the practices that resonate with you. Energetic hygiene is powerful and helps you to understand what is your energy and what isn’t. This also helps you define healthy boundaries, that will support you through your journey.

Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
Going through a deep healing journey and searching for your purpose can be very overwhelming. Often, the uncertainty of your path can feel like too much for you to handle. This is why reaching out for support is important because you don’t have to walk this path alone. Also, taking tender care of your energy, specifically your nervous system, through meditation or sound healing music can offer relief.

A specific strategy, from an intuitive energy healing lens, would be to bring your attention to exactly where you are feeling overwhelmed. Pinpointing in your physical body where your overwhelm is most active & trusting that you know. When you find it in your physical body, you can use your imagination to help the active energy of your overwhelm ‘speak.’ to you.

You can gain a lot of clarity by letting your imagination see, feel, hear or know your overwhelm. It’s important not to ignore when you feel overwhelmed and equally important to not allow your overwhelm to lead you.

Whenever possible, make space for yourself when you feel overwhelmed. Put a pause on making decisions or taking action until you have given yourself the care and attention you need.
