Worcestershire Entrepreneur Launches Stress Relief App To Enable Inner Harmony in Minutes

Emily Papirnik, 56, an entrepreneurial healer from Pershore, Worcestershire, is excited to be celebrating the launch of her innovative app, ‘Me Helping Me’, a powerful tool she has developed as part of her mission to help more of us manage our stress and anxiety, more easily.

After navigating her own journey of overcoming life’s challenges, ‘Me Helping Me’ is a mobile app designed to help people calm their nervous systems by providing a wide range of easy to access energy practices. These practices are intended to promote emotional wellbeing and overall quality of life to help people to feel better and take back control of their lives. The app features video practices ranging from 90 seconds to 20 minutes, and are designed to appeal to the masses, not just those who are used to mindfulness and meditation.

Emily developed the app after recognising the toll the pandemic had taken on her clients’ mental health and sought to provide a self-help guide and tool for them to integrate into their everyday lives. Emily’s aim is for individuals to start to see, enjoy and create more positivity around them, as part of their regular habits.

Emily said: “I wanted to help my clients when they are not having a ‘treatment’ with me, and to find a way to be in their pockets to bring a sense of calm to them, to help them find balance, harmony and essentially feel better. I created the app to be used as a self-help guide and tool and really worked hard on making it accessible for all - many people miss out on the incredible benefits of meditation and mindfulness, as they feel unable to, or do not enjoy meditating. Watching these videos enables them to find a calming focus without even ‘trying’.”

The app includes a healing platform and enhancement tips and techniques. The healing platform encourages the “parasympathetic nervous system” our “rest and repair” response and encourages users to achieve balance to aid in healing. The enhancement part of the app includes tips and techniques to help users with things such as; work stress, family conflict, and overall positivity, allowing broader perspectives enabling more clarity and understanding. An additional goal of the app is to help users find answers from themselves without waiting for their environment to change.

Emily added: “I am really proud of this app as it provides an opportunity for human beings to understand and feel the power they have in themselves to heal and help them live this physical existence with all the challenges and difficulties that they face. It is simple for people to use - they watch the videos and feel their energy change. When we understand how our energy can change with our focus we then encourage that to be a way of living. I want to get it on business portals, in schools and community centres, and for it to be available in doctor’s waiting rooms, there is such huge potential for helping people feel better in everyday environments.”

“The app is going to show you that you’re not in the abyss, you don’t have to spiral down and cover everything up and pretend. The app is the helping hand pulling you back from where you seem to be stuck. It enhances the amazingness you have within you, and supports you in finding yourself.”

Emily’s journey like many has had its rollercoaster of ups and downs. With complex emotions and life changing trauma mixed through it. With negative emotions of guilt, shame, sadness, and anger, living in ‘stress response’ of fight, flight and freeze for most of her adult life and with challenges around her, she found the strength within her to get through.

Emily, who was married at 23, faced numerous challenges, and she knows what it’s like to have to dig deep to find strength when you are faced with life’s challenges. Emily said: “With 3 children and my youngest just 22 months, my husband had a brain abscess, just after his 40th birthday. He was in hospital for 6 months, and had to learn to talk and walk again. As we had just moved, I had a new job, no family locally, no further support financially, and a Mortgage to cover. I was a childminder and cleaner so I could be with my children, but I had to find something else to help pay the bills. I became a support worker for Headway, worked at pre-school and helped run it for a while… then started training as a massage therapist (so I could find a career to do around husband and children). I then became a support assistant in Acquired Brain injury Education service and trained as an adult tutor, and became a day centre coordinator for a local mental health charity. We did have to downsize to help financially and then I focused on becoming a full-time massage therapist, and I created a wonderful business I loved.”

Supporting individuals as they come up against obstacles or challenges themselves, Emily comes from a place of compassion, a place of knowing that she will never fully understand anyone else’s journey from their perspective but she encourages them to see new perspectives, bringing a new way of enabling them to carry on forward, not constantly feeding the negative narrative they or others are telling them. Emily wants people to understand that they do not have to get to the bottom before they start feeling the strength they have in themselves.

During the pandemic, Emily started her journey to awakening, working more spiritually and ultimately found balance and inner peace. She now aims to share her message with others and help them find the strength within. She says: “I became a 5th Dimension Energy Healer and created my first app Igniting intention. So much made sense to me about the skills I had that I could share to help others. Now, the ‘Me Helping Me’ app is an extension of this, that shows others we have it all within us to heal - and thrive.”

Throughout her career Emily has helped many people cope with depression and life changing events. With the app her support can now have an even bigger impact. In feeling better we have so much more capability to heal and to thrive. In a place of overwhelm, depression and sadness we can feel so stuck, we don’t need more challenge we need more balance, equilibrium and harmony, Emily’s app possesses videos that have the energies weaved within them. The imagery and words will encourage those energies to ‘ignite’ within the watcher, enabling a peacefulness, a calm and thereby allowing a broader perspective, more insight, more clarity because you have interrupted the ‘stress response’ and your body and your mind can process and function better.

“My job is to help people feel better, whether it is physically, emotionally or mentally. I see people 121 or in small groups. The app will enable me to be accessed energetically through the app all around the world.”

“We have this ability to find strength within us when things become difficult but I am wanting people to understand they have this Strength, this Love, this Hope, this Truth and Trust within themselves always. I want them to start using it in their everyday to find the inspiration and understanding to be able to use the perspectives that enables them to move forward. I have seen family, friends, community and those in the workplace cope with depression, massive life changing events and managed to help them to help themselves. This app can do that for millions.”

“As I journeyed through my own challenges, I discovered the incredible power we all possess to heal and find harmony within. ‘Me Helping Me’ is a reflection of that discovery, a tool to help individuals connect with their inner strength and resilience.”

“I have grown in so many ways and I will continue to do so, who knows where this will take me, I’m not stopping anytime soon. I am on the most wonderful journey living this physical existence as an energetic human. I know this physical part is for a ‘blink of an eye’ so I am going to try and make it the best it can be and help others see and feel this on their journey, in whatever capacity I can.”
