You’ve left the New Age world behind.
The performative positivity, conspiracy-laced dogma, and total rejection of critical thinking finally became too much.
But… now what?
You still long for magic, mystery, and meaning, but you’re feeling disillusioned by the New Age movement and you’ve become spiritually homeless.
You can’t go back to Scientism—it’s too flat and empty and you’ve seen too much.
But New Age spaces feel ungrounded and delusional.
And no one seems to talk about the grief, confusion, and loneliness that come after waking up from your “awakening.”
That second awakening—the one where you realise the emperor has no clothes—is where the real work begins.
I help people like you find a grounded path forward.
This isn’t about adopting another set of teachings. It’s about reconnecting to your inner knowing, and learning how to live from it.
Instead of handing you a map, I help you trust your own compass using real presence, honest connection, and grounded practice.
You don’t need to abandon your spirituality.
You just need a version that can walk with you in the real world.
Welcome to Soul Vision!
I’m Mercedes Jayne,
a Spiritual Life Coach
I work with spiritual seekers who feel disillusioned with New Age dogma.
I help them integrate spirituality with rationality, into a holistic worldview that balances science and reason with magic and mystery.

Why is it important to do this work?
Our true nature is calm, caring, and supportive.
But early childhood conditions can disrupt our core needs for safety and self-expression, leaving us disconnected from our true essence.
To ease this pain, many of us turned to substances or behaviours—including obsessive meditation, breathwork, and yoga—that help us in the moment, but may cause more harm than good in the long run.
Some of us find our way to spirituality as a way to heal and recover from these addictive processes; others are guided by a deep soul calling to something profound and meaningful; and some of us stumble into it when a buddy offers us mushrooms at a festival and next thing we know, we’re buying crystals and doing tarot readings…..
I digress.
Not all of life’s problems can be solved by just getting more spiritual.
While our spiritual practices can support a strong connection to the Divine, their benefits don’t necessarily follow us into the mundane unless we also build our physical capacity for more life force energy.
So besides making life on Earth a little more tolerable… a regulated nervous system, an embodied awareness practice, and meaningful intimate relationships can support an even deeper spiritual connection.
If you want to try out what I’m offering, I invite you to join me for a Free Exploration.
I promise I won’t pressure you to buy anything!
It’s all about finding whether it’s a good fit for both of us.
What does working with me look like?
When you slow down and nurture your system with patience and caring, you create space for your own inner wisdom to organically emerge. This allows your higher self to guide the healing process in a way that’s exactly right, just for you.
We go slow to go fast.
My approach is deliberately patient and gentle. I believe high intensity growth work is harder to integrate, leads to “healing burnout,” and ultimately takes longer to achieve the same results.
I explicitly use two formal modalities in my work:
- Relateful Coaching: A presence- and curiosity-based practice for shifting the implicit beliefs that drive our feelings and behaviour.
- Inner Relationship Focusing: Connect with the “felt sense” of your inner world as a subtle awareness of your body-mind.
These lenses and practices inform my work implicitly:
- Tantric Philosophy
- Polyvagal Theory
- Nervous System Co-regulation
- Attachment Theory
- Integral Theory / Spiral Dynamics
- Akashic Records
Healing retreats, plant medicine, and immersive workshops definitely have their place—they can jump start the healing process and bring forward huge breakthroughs.
And, having attended dozens of holistic retreats and a few plant medicine ceremonies, I’ve realized it was the slow and gentle processes, guided over weeks and months outside of these programs
Embody your wholeness.
I orient from a profound belief that you are already whole, already complete, already enough; and, that your wholeness includes your longing for more safety, connection, and fullness in your life.

The deepest transformations
happen through connection
While there are many paths to fuller living, having a guide who’s already travelled this journey can make all the difference.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without those who helped me feel safe and integrated in my body and mind. They helped me realize my wholeness, not just conceptually but experientially.
My deepest gratitude goes out to my teachers and mentors—the lineage holders who walked their paths before me so I could stand on their shoulders to guide others.
