Healed Roots Energy Healer - Shamanic Energy Healer - Reiki Practitioner "HEALING doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives."

Are you feeling lost, trapped in a life where you have really stopped living, caused by past events that prevent you from fully embracing the life that you were meant to live?

​​Do you have problems reaching out to others for help, trusting, being heard, being seen, do you want to shutdown and hide, whose story are you really living?

​Do you want to change your story to one of empowerment and take charge of your life so that the past does not become your future? Then Sacred Alchemy Energy healing may be for you. It will help you discover the patterns and attachments that prevent you from moving more fully and authentically into your life. WHY

I believe that there is more to life than what we know with our five senses, and that we are meant to be whole in every sense. I believe we spend to much time on the symptoms of a dis – ease – comfort – belief and medicating them. This causes the root of the issue to become blind to us, which allows it to be buried under the stories that we create to cope. I believe that it is all in the question being asked, and that when we get to the root of the issue we can begin to ask the question that will lead to a healed outcome. I believe that if you can get to the root cause of an issue, it can be healed and the symptoms attached will disappear and no longer hold meaning to us. I believe that energy is alive and can be used to heal if we are open to it. I believe that the impossible is possible. I believe in miracles and magic.

​HOW

I do what I do with the knowledge and help from those who have come before me with the belief that there is nothing that you cannot heal if you truly believe that you can.

​I have trained and completed with Pete Bernard (Miskwa Kimiwan)(the8thfire.com)

Sacred Alchemy Energy Studies - Years 3 and 4 "The Way of the Medicine Keeper" - Completed October 2021

Years 1 and 2 "Earning The Light" (ETL) 2 year Professional Sacred Alchemy Training Program - Completed August 2017

Reiki - Quantum Shamanic Reiki and Reiki (USUI) - Completed February 2020

2 Yr Angel Fire Program (Angel Wisdom, Spiritual Healing & Energy Medicine Arts) - Completed December 2023

​I have trained at the Stillpoint Institute with Meredith Young-Sowers where I completed in June 2000

The One Year Intuitive perception and Energy Diagnosis Course.

​The laying on of hands and the passing of energy through one vessel to another has been used since the beginning of time to heal and to bring the bodies (Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual) into Balance. Journeying is to enter into a Trance (light trance-similar to a guided meditation) which will help you to slip between the worlds and meaningfully interact with the Divine Aspects of who you are. This will help you to bring into your conscious mind the underlying factors of the issue being worked on so that you may better understand and to heal. There are journeys to identify and heal core issues in your life such as abandonment, rejection, trust and self worth. To begin to heal these core issues we will identify your beliefs,emotions,thoughts and where the issue lives in your body. Some examples of different types of Journeys that I offer, but not all inclusive are Animal Totems, Meeting your Spirit Guide, Past Life, Self Sorcery, Self Sabotage, ancestral patterns, and so much more, my tool box is pretty full. As long as we are up to exploring, the sky is the limit. In a Safe and comfortable environment, we will track the issue to determine the different patterns that are playing out as symptoms in your life. Together we will process the information that is found to get to the very root of the issue. We will begin to heal the issue with the appropriate healing tool or tools – either through Journeying or Energy Healing or both. The client would decide on an individual basis which of these Energetic Healing Modalities would be right for them. This can have a positive effect on all life through the many benefits of relaxation and immune system enhancement.


​WHAT

By facilitating these services with the client it will lead to a healed outcome as the client sees it, such as being more present in their life, by not living someone else’s version of what their life should be. Letting go of the patterns/symptoms that they recognize as either emotional/spiritual/mental/physical that no longer have a place in their life, which leads to a whole and fuller version of who they want to be.

My VISION

Is to help others see the deep beauty/wisdom in themselves as I grow and develop the deep beauty/wisdom within myself.

My Mission

To continue healing myself and enhancing my programs of study through the8thfire.com (Pete Bernard) (Miskwa Kimiwan) or with other Teachers.

To always be evolving and growing. By developing myself I can help my clients and myself to become as whole in every sense as we wish to be.

Please Note

As per Pete Bernard (Miskwa Kimiwan) I too state that these services are not for those seeking Psychological or Medical help, if you require either Psychological or Medical help please look elsewhere.

Read this again and again until it sears into your consciousness:

*Understanding someone’s trauma does NOT excuse their behaviour.*

Pain may explain why someone harms others. It does NOT erase the harm they do.

That may sound obvious. In some spiritual circles, it is a strangely radical thing to say.

We speak about empathy and compassion. We speak about seeing the wounded child inside the one who lashes out. We speak about ancestral trauma, unmet needs, the goodness hidden beneath addiction, cruelty, even violence.

“They are pure consciousness, just like all of us.”

Of course. The capacity to see the wounded child in someone and have compassion for them is beautiful. It is part of love.

But there is a real danger here.

*Too easily, empathy slides into excusing harm.*

We say, “That’s not who they really are.” We focus so much on the inner pain of the one causing harm that we overlook the pain of the one harmed.

The victim’s anger becomes “judgement” or “projection” or even “negativity.” Their pain becomes “just a story.” They are pushed toward forgiveness before they have even been heard. Sometimes we are told there are no victims or perpetrators at all, only concepts in the mind.

This is not harmless. It causes real damage.

When we centre the feelings of the person who caused harm and sideline the one who was harmed, two dangerous things happen:

First, the victim begins to doubt their own reality. If their anger is dismissed and their pain reframed as imagination, they start to mistrust their own instincts. They lose confidence in their nervous system, in their basic sense that something was not okay. This kind of spiritual gaslighting deepens trauma and erodes truth.

Second, it creates cover for further harm. When a community rushes to empathise with the abuser and pressures the victim to forgive for spiritual reasons, the message is clear: There will be no real accountability. Your behaviour will be explained away.

That is how abusive patterns continue for generations.

There is also a deeper danger: It teaches people that compassion means tolerating mistreatment. That “spiritual maturity” means overriding your anger and staying soft and open while others cross and violate your boundaries. Over time, that erodes dignity and self respect and enables abusive dynamics.

(I have met so many self-described “empaths” who are in relationships with abusers, addicts, narcissists. They pride themselves on seeing the wounded child. They call it “compassion”. But they are tolerating harm. And I know this from the inside - I used to be one of those people.)

Compassion for the one who harms must NEVER erase the voice of the one who has been harmed.

We can hold two truths at once. We can see the wounded child in someone and still say clearly that their behaviour is not okay. We can honour complexity and still name abuse. We can feel empathy and still have boundaries.

*We can have empathy for someone and still demand accountability from them.*

Compassion without discernment becomes enabling. Spirituality without moral clarity becomes spineless.

If our spirituality enables abuse and cannot protect the vulnerable, it is not spirituality. It is fear dressed up as love.

Compassion matters. Accountability matters just as much, if not more.

Keep your heart open. But keep your damn backbone too!
