Self Development Coach, Innerchild Healing, Ascension Coach, Reiki Master/Teacher and Spiritual Life Coach at Ascension School Of Healing Arts.
I am the Founder and Owner of Ascension School of Healing Arts (ASHA) and Ascension Healing Arts Center! I've been practicing Energy Healing since 1994 and was certified as a Master in 1999. I was also trained in myomassology under Irene Gauthier in 1997. In 2000 I began teaching Reiki, Intuitive Development, and Healing with The Holy Spirit. I've been doing healings on clients since 1998, for over 25 years. In 2006, I developed my Managing Your Energy class. Through the years, I channeled the Inner-child Healing, Past Life Healing, Subconscious Reprogramming Methods, and Self Healing courses. The type of healing that I facilitate, I now call Ascension Healing. My purpose is to assist the collective in ascending to Christ Consciousness! My courses are designed to help you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually mature. Ultimately lifting you into higher consciousness in the physical body. From birth, I've always had a close relationship with God and have been intuitive. I was told long ago, as I was growing up, that our society is lacking integrity and is not in service to the greater good of the whole. I was also told that our institutions and systems need to change worldwide. That change begins within each of us. We need to learn to fill ourselves up and overflow versus competing for energy, as we have done for thousands of years. Each of us has to step into self-realization and self-love, and our God given true power. The Holy Spirit taught and guided me little by little to develop this type of healing that myself and staff facilitate and teach today. I teach Reiki I&II and Reiki Master throughout the year in person and via Zoom. Healer Certification Program

Your body has been trying to tell you something and you keep ignoring it 💜
A Kundalini awakening is the activation of dormant energy stored at the base of your spine 🌿
This energy, when awakened, rises through your seven chakras, opening each one along the way ☯️
Here is what you need to know 👇🏼
Your Kundalini energy sits coiled at the root chakra like a sleeping serpent 🐍 When it activates, it travels upward through the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown 🔮
Common signs of a Kundalini awakening 💜
🌿 Tingling or heat sensations along the spine
💜 Sudden waves of emotion without an obvious cause
🌿 Heightened sensitivity to sound, light, or energy
💜 Intense dreams or vivid inner visions
🌿 A deep pull toward your spiritual path
💜 Feeling like your old life no longer fits
A Kundalini awakening is not always gentle 🍃 It can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even frightening if you do not understand what is happening 🔮
That is why grounding practices, breathwork, and energy healing are so important during this time 🌿
Flower essences and chakra balancing work to support your nervous system and help your energy flow with ease instead of resistance 💜
This is your spirit evolving 🦋 Honor the process 🙏🏼

A little funny for today 😂🌈✨

Your subconscious mind runs about 95% of your daily thoughts, habits, and reactions. Most of those patterns were formed before you turned 7 years old.
Subconscious reprogramming is the process of identifying and replacing outdated beliefs, emotional responses, and thought loops that no longer serve your highest good.
Think of it this way 🧠
Your conscious mind is the driver. Your subconscious is the GPS. If the GPS is programmed with old directions, you keep ending up in the same places no matter how hard you try to change course.
Reprogramming works by accessing that deeper layer through practices like:
🧘 Meditation and Breathwork
💜 Reiki and Energy Healing
🪷 Flower Essence Therapy
📝 Affirmations during theta brainwave states
🌙 Intentional sleep rituals
When you shift the subconscious pattern, the conscious change becomes effortless. You stop forcing new habits and start embodying them naturally.
This is why willpower alone rarely works long term. The real transformation happens beneath the surface.
You are not broken. You are simply running old programming that served you once but no longer fits who you are becoming.
The good news? Your brain has neuroplasticity. It was designed to rewire. At any age. At any stage.
We offer Ascension Healing Services to help dismantle and rewire beliefs and to support you on this journey, along with our Intuitive Healer Program and Ascension Healer Programs that teach these valuable techniques for those called to guide yourself and others through their own transformation ✨

You're not broken. You're becoming 🌙
The Dark Night of the Soul is a spiritual awakening disguised as a breakdown 💜
It's that season of life where everything you thought you knew about yourself starts falling apart. Your relationships shift. Your interests change. You feel lost in a fog you can't explain. Nothing feels the same and you don't recognize who you're becoming.
Here's what nobody tells you about it 👇
🌀 It's not depression. It's dissolution. Your old identity is dying so a higher version of you can emerge.
🌀 It often follows a major life event. Loss, betrayal, illness, or even a sudden spiritual awakening can trigger it.
🌀 The emptiness you feel is making room. Old beliefs, patterns, and attachments are being cleared out to create space for something deeper.
🌀 It's temporary. Every dark night has a dawn. The length varies for everyone but it does end.
🌀 You may feel completely alone. But isolation during this phase is your soul asking for stillness. Honor it.
Signs you might be in one right now 🔮
You feel disconnected from people and things you once loved
Sleep patterns are disrupted or filled with vivid dreams
You question the meaning of everything
Old coping methods no longer work
You crave solitude and silence
Synchronicities start appearing everywhere
The most important thing to remember 🤍
This is not a punishment. This is an initiation. You are being refined by the fire of transformation so you can step into alignment with your true self.
Be gentle with yourself during this time. Rest. Journal. Spend time in nature. Sit with the discomfort instead of running from it. Trust that the light at the center of the spiral is pulling you forward 🌙✨

Ascension Healing
What is Ascension Healing?
The purpose of Ascension Healing is to shift and to retrain the subconscious mind to operate fully within our conscious selves. Humans operate 95% from the unconscious mind. We must reteach and reparent ourselves in order to step into self-love and an empowered state of being and consciousness.
The Ascension Healing Arts Center specialize in Ascension Healing, a type of healing which is a combination of Reiki, intuitive healing, inner child work, acknowledgment and forgiveness, dismantling and rewiring beliefs, trauma release, light language, quantum healing and hypnotherapy.
This healing can be done in person or from a distance. When working from a distance, we connect with and work on your energy, while noting our finding. We balance and cleanse the aura and chakra systems. We also read your energy and take note of any advice we channel. We then contact you and discuss what we read and channel, then talk about what work can be done for deep healing, such as inner child work, or other types of healing we intuitively receive instructions to perform.
First Time Healing
In your first healing session, we work to balance, cleanse and clear your chakras and energy field. We access and read your energy, noting beliefs and patterns that are blocking you from the life and relationships you desire, especially your relationship with yourself. We may channel some advice for you. We will establish grounding and reconnect you with your body, the earth and the Divine, aligning your Chi with the Universe. We will open up and create a connection with all aspects of yourself, helping you to find out your needs on all levels, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. We will also set the stage for you to reteach the subconscious.
All of our healers are trained in Ascension Healing but may also offer other modalities in combination with the Ascension basics. Each healer has one or more specialties. Please visit our website for more information. www.ascensionhealingartscenter.com
