Today we’d like to introduce you to Rose Spurrier
Rose, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I was born in the mountains of East Tennessee to a family with deep roots in love, community, and belonging. But, on top of all that, they especially carried on with a fervent love for growing things. My family is full of gardeners, tenders, and teachers. Raised on my grandparents’ land, flowers have always contributed to my education – spring after spring – little gifts to compel us towards our own growing, our own reaching for light, our own roots anchoring us into fertile soils. There are profound lessons with the flowers. They represent healing in a thousand different ways. And healing is made up of continual growth. Cultivating ourselves is our greatest life’s work! I have worked very hard on tending to my own inner wholeness – I always will – as wholeness is the thing I care most about. In my next seasons I want to help others through their own continued healing and cultivation.
I found out about Splankna several years ago through friends while I was looking for a tool to help loosen the grips of old, inadequate defense mechanisms and limiting belief patterns that kept getting in the way of healthy relationships. I had been leery of energy healing up to that point – assuming it was ineffective (or a placebo) at best…or that it was manipulative and spiritually dangerous at worst. But I kept feeling a Deep Draw towards Splankna. And a Deep Draw happened to be one of the ways I’d realized God often speaks to us – and that I ought to at least lean in with curiosity and not miss a lesson. I attended the Splankna training and was blown away by how intuitive, biblically sound, gentle, and effective the protocol turned out to be. It was such a sense of Freedom to finally lean into something that I had felt was “mine” for years, but had never been taught about. Another several years later and I’m still feeling the Deep Draw, as well as ripe timing to open up the treasure chest of healing that I’ve found and to share it with my friends.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I opened the doors of Healing Roses as a leap of faith – unsure if my community would really *want* what I felt I had to offer. But the discomfort of “Not Risking” – of staying small, quiet, and comfortable…ignoring my sense of calling and just supporting other people’s dreams or ambitions while fully neglecting my own – became more painful than not. The pain of staying small outgrew the pain and fear of “Risk,” of doing something that felt utterly life-giving, hopeful, and fulfilling (even if it simultaneously scared the tar out of me). I never dreamed I’d start my own business. I have been continually awed and honored as old acquaintances and new come out of the woodwork to schedule with me the moment I put myself out there and tell my community what I’m doing! Some connections I hadn’t spoken with in 15 years but they had apparently seen something in me so long ago that they were interested in sitting with me to work toward their own healing. This has deeply humbled me and invigorated me. I am dazzled every time I watch someone take another stride towards living free from old wounds and defense mechanisms. I am driven towards building my business so that I can reach more folks and hold as much space as possible for everyone who needs an advocate for wholeness – it’s my very favorite thing to do and I think I’ll just keep doing it forever.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Healing is one of the most beautiful facets of the human experience and I have always been enthralled with its pursuit. Our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are so intrinsically intertwined, and when our minds can’t quite cope with the gravity of all we’ve experienced, our bodies are adept at carrying the burden for us. We can subconsciously “store” emotional stress or trauma in our bodies which, over time, manifests as behavioral and physiological dysfunction.
My mission is to instigate a revolution of inner healing and to champion the emotional well being of my community through Emotional Release work. Splankna Therapy is a Christian-based protocol for Mind-Body Work – a tool for inner healing and emotional release. The Splankna protocol taps into the subconscious root of symptoms helping to identify and alleviate “stuck” emotional energy and thinking patterns that we adopted through past traumas.
While Splankna is rooted in a spiritual paradigm and I do use prayer in my practice, it is not exclusive to practicing Christians or those with any religious observation. I will advocate for your wholeness with no bias and no condemnation – regardless of your religion, race, sexuality, gender, or any other identifiers. Healing is for everyone and I am honored to sit with anybody while they work towards wholeness!
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success means striving towards our deepest, free-est sense of self. Sometimes success can look messy. Sometimes it even looks like failure…but failure is really just learning! If we allow it, it empowers and emboldens us towards the Next Right Thing. When we’re moving within our real identities, giftings, and sense of purpose then nothing is wasted! Everything becomes an opportunity of fuel for more growth, more connection, more wholeheartedness, and more joy. Success means being fully present and honest with our processes – even the clunky ones that we stumble through – so that after each season of growth we can look back and see how much taller, deeper, and more substantial we have become.
