MY ENERGY MEDICINE JOURNEY

My story is not unlike many others that find themselves drawn to Energy Medicine.

For many years of my adult life I experienced chronic pain with no real solution.  Aspects of me felt unheard.  The pain was a message that I struggled to understand and so did most of the doctors, and  practitioners I saw.  I knew I had the capacity to be healthy, but my body’s language said I couldn’t be healthy the way my energies were at that time.  I knew there was a way, a universal language, where  I could communicate with my body's messages and help bring back balance into my life.  I felt dependent on outside support for relief and part of me knew this wasn’t how we are designed to live.  I wanted to find a way to support and empower my whole being. 

 

In 2008 I began my journey to educate myself on the wisdom of the body and how it reacts with our world.  I continued to explore many different modalities, classes, and see different doctors and practitioners.   I was tested for all the usual: hormone imbalance, lyme disease, allergies, deficiencies, anxiety, gene markers for detox issues, you name it.  Even after trying some treatments or altering my diet, hoping we were addressing a root cause, it still wasn't enough.  My physical strength began to diminish and even doing yoga which I loved, was hard for me to find the energy to do.  

​

In my desperation to find something that could help, I  came across a video by a women named Donna Eden called The Daily Energy Routine (DER).  The movements were so simple I could do them laying down if needed.  As I did the exercises I felt my whole head relaxed, I felt more grounded and less dizzy, and my vision became clearer.  I could breathe easier and felt for the first time in a long time... me.  I continued to do the exercises and began to explore who this Donna lady was and found many videos about her, her husband David Feinstien, and her school.  During one of the videos I remember saying over and over as they were talking, “yes, Yes, YES!!!!”  My husband looked over at me surprised by my excitement and I said, “finally someone is speaking the language I have been looking for!” Within a couple months I was enrolled into her school, learning the language of the body and taking back my power.  Now all the knowledge I had been attaining up until that point started to weave together.  My support team of therapist and practitioners I had been seeing began to have longer lasting effects and my visits with them became less frequent and in some cases no longer needed.  Yay!

 

What started as a journey for my own self-healing has now led me to my career in Energy Medicine which is now woven in with other beautifully align modalities.  I have had the pleasure of learning along side other master healers and teachers such as Eileen McKusick and Jayme Price, incorporating Biofield Tuning, Crystalline Soul Healing and Light Language into my practice.  I chose to become a practitioner and a teacher so that I could not only share the wisdom I have learned, but receive it from all who I work with.

WHAT ILLUMINATES ME

CRYSTAL/MINERAL KINGDOM

Rock hounding and listening to the call from them and which ones to add to my life.  They are so beautiful to me in so many ways.  If I had to choose one item as a gift it will almost always be a crystal.

​

NATURE + ANIMALS

I love exploring in the sun and having sand between my toes although I love a good rain forest and ferns that grow during the magical mist of a rain season.  I also love being on or near the water and always have lived somewhere with water around me.  Animals have always been in my life and they have taught me many lessons in beautifully pure ways.  I am extremely grateful for that and honor their presence in our universe. Nature holds many keys to life. The plants and animal kingdom are full of the wisdom we have forgotten and are patiently awaiting our awakening.

​

CURIOSTY

I have always been very curious about life.  It either makes me a great student or an annoying one.  LOL!   I love to learn new art forms, the science and spirit behind energy and our universe, and about different cultures or ways of navigating life.  There is so much ancient wisdom awaiting our rediscovery.  Many of the modalities I have chosen to study and integrate into my practice are based on ancient wisdom, combined with the science and technology of now.  

 

EMPOWERMENT

I love to learn and grow and also to share my wisdom with others to support their empowerment.  I teach classes to clients, fellow energy practitioners,  and friends and family.  Courage is a virtue we engage when we step into our power and push past a growth edge.  Feeling supported and connected helps fuel these courageous steps we take along the way to our empowerment.

​

COMMUNITY + CONNECTION

One of my favorite things to do in life is to just be present with the ones I love.  Listen to their stories, sharing experiences, and memories.  Connection has no limits with distance and now with the support of technology we can develop even more community and connection all around the world.  One way I utilize this is I co-created a community of Energy Medicine Practitioners to grow, share, and serve together.  It is not only supporting us as humans, but it is supporting us as practitioners who are stepping out in a world that has had a lot of disconnection.  Even thought technology has given us this gift to expand community and connection it is still vitally important to continue to connect in person.  Coming together in person feeds our natural way of being human and the physical part of our being. Together is better!  Enriching our lives, and sometimes even saving them. Connection and community is within many aspects of our life. It is within your home, your garden, your career, your neighborhood, etc.  It reminds us on all levels that we are not alone and allows us to share in this experience we call life. 

​

SOUND + MUSIC

Music has this magical ability to transform us.  Just like a tuning fork can entrain incoherent frequencies, music can entrain us and shift our emotions and thoughts.  It is such a beautiful gift to us and a tool we can use to bring ourselves back into harmony.  An outdoor concert does wonders for my soul!

MY NEST
 

Residing in West Linn, Oregon (a suburb outside of Portland) my nest holds a combination of species.  My husband and I raise our 2 children, dog, cat, and 2 bunnies on a piece of nature nestled under a grove of redwoods and ferns, along the gentle winding Tualatin River.  We traveled to Oregon from Ohio when our children were younger,  leaving everyone and everything that was familiar to us behind. We followed a calling to the Pacific Northwest to begin our journey as a family. This opened us up to ourselves, creativity, and growth not only as individuals, but as a collective. 

Energy Medicine has been a great addition to the success of this journey by empowering us to remember our innate wisdom and connection to the world around us.  Our nest is a safe haven for our community, friends, and loved ones to come and find connection within themselves again. I thank mother earth for sharing with us and allowing our growth and expansion to take place in this beautiful part of the world. 

My husband and I built our home here from the ground up.  Listening to our bodies, the land, the universe, and our creative self.  We designed the space conscious of quality and that each part be connected to the whole.  We designed with health and wellness as a priority and respect for the land.  In the near future we will be offering a space for others to come and do their own healing and growth as part of a session experience, retreat space, and overnight stays. We look forward to when that time ripens and we are curious and excited about what the future holds.
