I’m Di Atherton.
Grief guide, energy healer, spiritual teacher and facilitator of conscious change. I bring compassion and practical tools in a non-judgemental space to help you find clarity, courage and a path forward.
For almost three decades I’ve supported people through life’s challenges, helping them walk the path of grief, navigate major changes (both internally and externally) and reconnect to their own soul wisdom and inner guidance.
Whether you are grieving a loss, facing change in your life or seeking a deeper soul connection, I walk the journey with you.
Welcome to my website—and my world! I’m so glad you’re here.
Enjoy the peace and beauty of nature.
Gain clarity and insight to take the next step.
Get in tune with your authentic self.
I think of Earth as a school and we are here trying to navigate its curriculum – without any books! They say that in school you learn and then write tests. In life, you are tested and then you learn. Sometimes those tests are endlessly repeated until you learn the lesson!!
There’s nothing more fulfilling than growing as individuals and honing our skills in the journey to live our best lives and reconnect with our inner power. As a master teacher and soul healer, I’m deeply passionate about helping people discover simple, practical tools to weave into their daily routines, empowering them to live with purpose and confidence. I believe there’s no “one size fits all” approach—together, we’ll explore what works best for you, right where you are. Let’s embrace this beautiful process of transformation, one step at a time!
I am devoted to helping individuals reconnect with the Power Within (which is the foundation of all my work) through workshops, personalised retreats, Reiki energy healing, sacred soul readings, soul guidance sessions and programs.

How do I support people?
Soul guidance and energy work: Reiki, energetic blueprint and light code sessions for alignment, healing and transformation.
Sacred Soul Readings: Whether you’re feeling lost, at a crossroads or just craving a deeper connection to your Self. This isn’t just a reading, it’s a remembering. Of who you are, what you’re here for and what your soul needs right now. Gentle soul-led answers. Full reading or 3-card Sacred Shift reading available.
Walking the Path of Grief: Grief support through 1:1 sessions, workshops and retreats to hold space for loss and renewal.
Workplace Bereavement: A new addition to my offerings. Training, bereavement advocacy and support programs that create compassionate workplaces where employees are helped to manage their grief and their job.
The personalised, individual and small-group retreats I facilitate allow participants to listen to the voice of their soul in a tranquil, non-judgemental, peaceful environment. There are several types of retreat packages available, namely half day, full day and stayover retreats as well as virtual retreats. I use several beautiful venues around the Lowveld and various options that offer the opportunity to take time out from your busy life, cut out the external noise and focus on the most important person – YOU!
I will tailor-make a retreat to suit your individual needs.
Working with people is one of my greatest joys, and my Soul guidance sessions and readings help people to see opportunities instead of obstacles and get clarity on the next step of their journey. Sessions are either one-on-one or via Zoom or What’s App call.
Sometimes we just need to take a step away from the fast pace of life so we can catch our breath. Think. Reflect. Introspect. I create a sacred and safe space for you to do just that. Maybe you just need some space in order to take stock of your life, take a look at your own needs and wants. Or you need a sounding board or guidance to get clarity on where you are and where you may be headed. Perhaps a healing energy session, creating a vision board, journalling or just enjoying the peace and beauty of nature while I hold the space is what is required.
Connectedness
Journey of Loss: The Spaciousness of Grief
I have these two gorgeous purple velvet chairs in my lounge that a friend found on sale when I was moving into my new home after my husband died. Purple being my favourite colour (in case you hadn’t noticed) I just had to have them!
They became quite the talking point and most often friends and clients end up curling up on one of these cosy chairs and just talking.
When we’re feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of the next step on our journey, what we often need most is a safe, judgment-free space to process it all. A place where we can brainstorm, think, share openly, and work through challenges, without someone throwing advice at us or passing judgment.
That’s where my Purple Chair Soul Sessions come in! These 60-90 minute sessions are all about holding space for you. Whether you need clarity on your next steps, want to work through a challenge, or even brainstorm business ideas, these sessions are designed to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom—your true Soul voice. Together, we’ll tap into that incredible power within you so you can make the best choices to move forward.
And the best part? These sessions can be face-to-face or virtual—whatever works best for you. I promise I’ll sit in the purple chair for the online session 😊
So, let’s grab a seat (or a screen!) and get started. 💜
