MY STORY

Branch_Border.png

My trail in life to becoming who I am today had many dramatic switch backs:

Your Guide through the Subconscious

  • I literally had to jump through a wall of flames in order to escape my house burning down in 1998. 

​

  • I’ve received the dreaded call from the doctor that I had Cancer in 2018.

​

  • I went through a full Hysterectomy because of said Cancer call.

​

  • Part of my colon has been removed and resected in a major surgery.

​

  •  I have been cut out of a car wreck using the Jaws of Life

​

  • My body healed itself from another “incurable disease” much to my doctor’s amazement.

​

  • I have found myself wanting to give up on life deep down within the dark well of depression in my teens and 20's.

​

  • I have had to do the deep inner work within myself to lose 140 pounds naturally.

I know what it feels like to want to give up and float away in the pain within the Dark Night of the Soul…

​

However, I also know what it feels like to fight for my life, grow to love who I am, clear my energy and take charge of my life, health and well-being.

​

The road to peace and wellness is a long twisty turning one, and it can be a scary one, without the right guide. With my blood and tear stained map from 30 years of seeking peace within myself, I would be honored to help you find the light within you. Even at the darkest of times…it is there shining brightly, hoping you find it and use it.

You have but to make the decision to heal, thus the healing begins.

In August of 1998, I was laying in the hospital bed of The Grossman Burn Clinic healing from 3rd degree burns over 30% of my body when Reiki first came to rescue me.

Multiple skin graft operations were done, the first of which I reacted to whatever they put me under with, and my heart actually stopped and had to be resuscitated.  This near death experience really woke up in me an urgency to make my precious life count…and I couldn’t wait to get out of the Burn Ward and start my new life. I see that day as my Rebirthday. 

​

Between the burns and donor sites, I was in 24/7 pain…it felt like hot irons were on 30% of my body, and even the liquid morphine drip I was on seemed to do nothing to cut through the constant pain. Skin graft after skin graft happened, and still they were not taking.

​

I called out to The Universe to help me in one particularly Dark Night of The Soul and had an out of body experience where I felt an energy so pure and beautiful it took my pain away!

This was the house that I accidentally burned down in 1998 with an unattended candle that burned as I slept. The room to the left was where I was asleep as the fire took over the house.

This was my left thigh…the rectangular redness is where they took the skin from to put on my burns on my legs and arms. The erratic redness next to it are also some burns.

After my out of body experience, I was afraid to come back into my body, knowing the pain that was waiting for me, but I had no choice…there were things I had to do in this life, and it was time to take back my life from these burns.

 

Once I hit my body, I realized that there was only about 10% of the pain left. I still felt the stretching and tightness of the skin that was burned and raw from the grafting…but not a lot of pain.

Dr. Grossman checked me a couple days after that Divine Energetic Intervention, and his story changed from “Not sure when you will be getting out” to “Wow…it looks like you have turned the corner, and you should be out by the end of the week!”

​

Once I was out of the burn ward, working and feeling a bit more stable, I went on a quest to find out what that Divine Energy was that visited me in the Burn Ward.

​

I saw Shamans, Angel Healers, Crystal Healers…you name it and I experienced it. It wasn’t until my first Reiki session, that I found the energy healing that felt closest to what it was that came to visit me in the Burn Ward.

​

Once I experienced Reiki…I realized that it was the reason I am back in the world, and it is my soul’s purpose to empower others with its Divine energy and spread the knowledge and wisdom of this beautiful Energy Medicine as far and wide as I humanly can within the energetic womb I have created The Healing Woods to be.

​

​

In 2018, I had Cancer.

​

I received that dreaded call that everyone fears, and I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer...just like that...my life completely changed.

​

As strong as I am, I still crumbled. 

​

I allowed myself to feel every bit of fear, dread, anger and hopelessness that I needed to, and then I got myself back up and used a mixture of Reiki, Hypnotherapy and deep inner work with Ritual to claw my way back up to the light within me.

​

Cancer woke up in me a deep desire to better myself and change patterns around food and emotional eating that I have struggled with since I was 8 years old. 

​

We’re talking 3 decades and some change...so it was deep seeded within my Subconscious Mind that food equals comfort, so anytime anything traumatic or emotional happened in my life (and as you’ve read...I’ve had some traumatic things go down), I went to certain foods for comfort because of this.

I’ve always had a healthy vegetarian diet, but even organic pasta, sprouted bread, eating late and vegan desserts will cause you to gain weight.

​

During my Cancer Journey I did deep work within Hypnotherapy on my Inner Child, which is another term for the Subconscious Mind. I changed the habit of going to food for comfort and replaced it with desiring physical movement, water and more healthy and nourishing foods like leafy greens, proteins and water.

​

​

After I healed from my Cancer surgery and was given a clean bill of health, I started on my weight loss journey in January of 2019, and I am proud to say that I have lost 140 pounds in a very healthy way and feel younger, stronger and more energetic than I did in my 20's!

2018 to 2021 down 140 pounds

I have a new lease on life and will live years longer thanks to Hypnotherapy and Reiki, and my passion is to help you do the same deep healing I did on the Subconscious, Energetic and Emotional level before I even released one pound.

Today, I honor my biggest teachers in life...Fire and Cancer. I am excited to be alive, and help others using the element of fire within my Holy Fire Reiki sessions, Fire Cupping and helping people release old attachments in gatherings I call Bullshit Bonfires.

​

Fire is destructive…but also purifying. I choose to harness the transformative and healing aspects of the element which brought me to my knees at age 23. Life is always a choice. We can choose to focus on the destruction…or the rebirth.

​

As you can see, I’ve been in some pretty dark places within a Burn Ward and then a Cancer Ward, and I can promise you, that if you give yourself a chance to find the power within your pain, you will find that you can overcome anything.

​

You will also find that nothing comes to you without a lesson to teach you, and the darker the lesson is...the brighter your come back will be from it with the right attitude, energy and guidance.

Allow me to help you find your light within the dark.

I promise you it is there, and together we will find it on whichever healing path you choose to walk with me.
