I did not choose this path. It chose me. You must be thinking, WHAT? Yes, I was involved in an abusive relationship at the time. When I finally had the courage to leave in 2005, the abuses escalated, I began to see a divide within myself. What I was receiving through the shelters and American health care system was not only broken, but amplified and used against me in court with my abuser when I sought help and protections.
As like many stories in the #metoo movement, I was heavily retaliated against by the system for seeking justice not only for my case but for 20 other families associated with one judge who had a reputation for punishing survivors of abuse if allegations of abuse surfaced before him.
That led me down a spiritual path to healing my own complex PTSD, which by the way I did not have until the courts were allowed to be used to continue the patterns of abuse.
How to give a brief synopsis without carrying on? Hmmmm. Well, to be short, my story is like a Michael Creighton novel, because what I experienced was too surreal and unimaginable.
Since 2005, I have delved into finding ways to heal my path and life which subsequently opened doors for others seeking me out. I should say it was more like a college education with my college major being "ME, the affects of trauma and how to use it empower myself and others".
As far as being an intuitive, I was born this way. I come from a family on both sides who are intuitive and watched the effectiveness growing up in the health care system when treating “whole-listically”.
As far as being an intuitive, I was born this way. I went to 10 years Catholic school, but always felt "different". I come from a family where both sides are intuitive and watched the effectiveness of intuition growing up in the health care system when treating “whole-listically”. I watched my father diagnose cancer when all the tests were negative and diagnosed appendicitis with no tests.
No matter what the issue, I have learned over the years 3 things:
In order to become whole, you must address all three bodies - physical, mental/emotional/spiritual. It takes addressing all three to become whole and heal our life in all areas of our life or to achieve a goal in life.
Trauma is not what you may think and manifests in ways physically that the traditional medical system fails to treat. It tends to be a root to much of what ails us mentally, physically, and spiritually. This does not mean that we must be ruminating over something. It just means that cells have memory and the physical body is trying to tell you something that needs to be addressed in order to heal.
THIS S**T works. Meaning what I have learned over the years in healing myself and guiding others... If you would have asked me in 2005 about implementing some of this stuff, I would probably think you are bat s**t crazy. Truth be told. My connection to spirit allowed me to trust again and communicate with the divine when humanity failed me. Reiki saved my life, but Jikiden Reiki, healed my trauma and took everything I ever knew to a whole another level. The rest after that is history and here I am today.
I was born as an empath and struggled for most of my life understanding what it meant to be an empath. Experiencing many difficult life lessons resulting and complex PTSD and Trauma, I had a feeling there was something wrong with me until I rediscovered my gifts and learned to embrace my sensitivities which led my down this path.
My traumatic experiences led me back to ME.
I have published many articles throughout the years on my experiences on the topics of Holistic Health, Spirituality, Reflections from a Spiritual Medium, Healing Trauma Associated with Abuse, and Reiki.
