You’re not too sensitive…you’ve just never been taught what you are. This community is here to help you understand your energy, protect it, and step into your power as an empath. In the last week of March 2020, I was in a 3-day coma. When I woke up, I didn’t wake back into the same reality; I woke into a complete spiritual awakening. Everything felt different; deeper; more intense; more real than anything I had ever experienced before. A few weeks later, I was trying to explain what I was feeling to a beautiful and dear friend of mine, Joyce Rankin. She gently said to me, “Gordon… I think you might be an empath.” The moment she said it, something inside me lit up. My intuition was screaming, “Yes… this is it.” But the truth was, I didn’t even know what an empath was. So I began searching. And what I found changed everything... I realised I was highly sensitive, deeply intuitive, naturally compassionate, and often overwhelmed by the energy around me. I needed solitude to reset; I gave too much; I felt everything. For the first time in my life, things started to make sense. Then something incredible happened. I was offered a free place at a 7-day Mind–Body Trauma conference. On the final day, I listened to Dr Judith Orloff… and it felt like someone was reading my soul. In every trait she described, I could see myself. That was the moment I fully understood; I wasn’t broken; I was gifted. Even knowing that around 20% of people are empaths, life still felt lonely at times. So I decided to create something, a space where empaths could come together and feel understood. That’s when I built my Facebook group, Empaths Are United, which today has grown to over 45,000 members. And now… I’ve created this. The Empath Academy is where everything comes together. Everything I’ve learned, everything I’ve invested in; every book, course, and workshop, all brought into one place. A place where you don’t just understand your empath nature; you learn how to master it. This is where you stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling empowered.
