How I Work
I am dedicated to transformation and cleansing at all levels: spiritual, emotional, and physical.
I work with individuals, couples, parents and children to identify the sources of fears, emotional blockages, stuck energy, misunderstandings, while I use techniques and exercises to release these. I look at true feelings and true desires without fear or judgement. I encourage openness about anything you might feel embarrassed or scared to talk about. I embrace the beauty of vulnerability, and see everyone as a beautiful spirit. I will always support and ask for total honor between partners and family members in relationships, and between you and yourself in your relationship with yourself. This honest communication can be difficult and uncomfortable. I embrace these uncomfortable moments as clues to something beautiful and true that wants to have light shone upon it and total acceptance.
I help identify what causes the issues by looking into your past at emotional, physical, and traumatic experiences. These experiences leave an imprint on the psyche that produces habitual behavior, patterns, and in some cases powerful addictions such as food, alcohol, drugs, sex, obsessions, destructive behavior; which can lead to decisions causing mental and emotional instability, insecurity, and low self-esteem that do not support your health and well- being. These patterns can turn into cycles where the same things occur over and over again—and you will keep showing yourself this experience until you become aware of it, address it, make amends with it, and leave it behind. I seek to identify what these experiences are in your life that you are carrying with you in the present day. These experiences can cause physical, emotional and spiritual issues—and separation between your physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. If the physical, emotional, spiritual bodies are not communicating and connected because of these traumas, the individual becomes stagnant, and does not grow and evolve and mature. I help you get into the natural flow of progressing and evolving as an individual. I help bring light into your being, so that you can continue to receive more of the light and love that you as a human require to connect with yourself, with others, and with nature and the universe.
I help you understand what energy you are producing that creates the things coming at you, and why you are not attracting what you want. If you have a false awareness of who you are, what you are, and why you are here because of these experiences in your life, you may be disconnected from your true self. And without an authentic understanding of yourself, you may judge others, and walk into the world with a mask on to feel the illusion of safety.
When you walk into the world as an illusion and an actor, you are pretending to be something you are not, and this causes disharmony on many levels. In sessions I draw on training and exercises from different healing, shamanic, warrior, and spiritual lineages and teachings, as well as intuitive readings and messages and energetic signals. I am also a licensed practitioner of a quantum cellular balancing technology that draws on Nikola Tesla’s work. A bodywork healer using deep tissue massage to release blocked energies from traumatic suppressed emotions. I also offer personally guided transformation retreats in your home or anywhere on the planet you desire.
