My journey into light
This page shares the real story of how red light therapy has helped me — and why it became such an important part of my life.
My mood lifted, my lung health improved, my menopausal hair loss slowed and my skin looked radiant. I’ve not had a cold sore in a year
How it Began
When I first began using red light therapy, I was looking for something gentle — something that could help my skin stay youthful without the need for Botox or fillers. I started with a face and neck mask, and within a few months, the comments I received about my glow (hence the name of this site!) were remarkable.
A turning point
Later, after a knee injury, I discovered the portable Kineon device. The speed of my recovery amazed me and sparked a fascination with how targeted light could ease pain, support healing, and keep us youthful.
When curiosity became something deeper
That curiosity turned into a deeper interest. I began researching how different wavelengths of light influence inflammation, recovery, and mood. After a period of burnout and a lung infection, I invested in a full-sized red light panel — and over time, the results were undeniable.
The changes I noticed
My mood lifted, my lung health improved, my menopausal hair loss slowed, and my skin looked radiant.
I haven’t had a cold sore in a year; this in itself feels like a minor miracle.
And honestly, for 58, I think I look good! I‘m now a convert — an official light-healing nut.
Light as a companion
Because I travel often, I still rely on my mask and Kineon as portable companions — proof that consistency matters more than complexity. I also use a Lumie Bodyclock to support my sleep cycle, and as a creative writer, I often use the light-based app Lumenate to spark imagination.
Where science meets subtle energy
As a qualified hypnotherapist, breathwork practitioner, and Reiki master, I’ve always been drawn to the space where science meets subtle energy. Light therapy sits perfectly in that space — blending evidence-based healing with something quietly transformative. I genuinely believe light energy will have an even bigger role in the future of healing.
