Phoenix Rising Massage Therapy

Phoenix Rising Massage Therapy I am a CA State Certified Massage Therapist, CMT #81698, who specializes in working with trauma of all kinds. I have dealt with and healed through much myself!

Well, this has been a long time coming...!!! It all started when my Mom decided to follow her dream and attend Massage School way back in 1988-1989. I was just 13 years old, but her choice had a profound effect on me and opened a whole new door for me in so many ways. Specializing in Sports Massage to begin with, my Mom went to many sporting events to practice her craft with elite athletes, including the famous IRONMAN competition in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. She even volunteered her services at many of my sporting events in High School - Football, Water Polo, Swimming, and Crew/Rowing. Consequently, she was able to help me through several sports injuries across these different sports. I was also introduced to a whole new world when I participated my first energy healing experience at just 16 years old. It was a workshop that my Mom was attending in Topanga Canyon and they needed an extra "body" for the second day, so I was volunteered. Well, my Third Eye was completely blown open and the instructor had to help ground me so I didn't pass out. We discussed energetic boundaries and grounding the whole drive home. Back then, I attended several energetic and specialized modality classes with my Mom [Energy Healing training (04/1992), Thai Massage (08/1992), Energy Touch Therapy/Psychogenic Healing Process (01/1993). I also attended many workshops and experienced some modalities living and working at Esalen Institute for two years (1997-1999) as a Work Scholar and Extended Student (1 year position), wherein I worked as one of the Chefs. I received a training in Spiritual Massage from one of my mentors, Maria Lucia Bittencourt Sauer (04/1998). In addition, I participated in a Jahara Aquatic Bodywork class at Harbin Hot Springs (11/1999) - 8 months after my near-death, drowning experience for which I am famous for at Esalen to this day. I was rescued from the cove at Esalen by a Coast Guard helicopter and a CHP Officer in a wetsuit, who put me in the basket while unconscious due to hypothermia and exhaustion. Like one of the nurses said when I had regained consciousness and function in the hospital, it was like I had just run 50 miles! Esalen was also where I really started to learn and understand Astrology. I had already received a reading years prior, which was a truly profound experience! So, when I was at Esalen, I posted my chart on the wall next to my bunk and would reflect my experiences into the chart. I also participated in a two-week "staff" course led by resident Astrologer, Silvia Guersenzvaig, which brought on a whole new reality. I have continued to study astrology and provide these services as well (https://www.facebook.com/ACMN75/). So now, almost 30 years later, I am finally getting back to my roots of care for myself and others, energetic sensitivity, healing modalities, and bodywork... I recently graduated from the 500 hr. Massage Therapist program at the California Holistic Institute (CHI), right here in San Luis Obispo (07/2019), which I started in (09/2018). And, I am registered as a CA State Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) with the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC # 81698). I specialize in working with trauma of all kinds. I have experienced much myself, having had multiple near-death experiences (NDE's), surgeries, and physical injuries; as well as emotional and psychologically trying times throughout my life. I have been fortunate to find my way through deeply challenging life circumstances and events, sometimes receiving great support and sometimes experiencing utter abandonment and betrayal. Healing all these wounds can be a process, but certainly a worthwhile endeavor despite the hardships! For a complete biography, including my educational background and approach to massage therapy, simply give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

PHOENIX RISING ✨AQUARIUS IGNITES A SEVERE SOLAR RESET ✨ EXTREME SOLAR STORM

Dear friends, as the Sun steps into Aquarius today, the atmosphere around us subtly—but unmistakably—changes. Aquarius opens the higher mind, loosens rigid timelines, and invites us to perceive beyond habit and hierarchy. There is a sense that the air itself is charged with anticipation, as if something long dormant is beginning to hum awake. This is not a gentle arrival; it is an electric one, signaling that collective and personal systems are preparing to update.

At the same time, the cosmos is amplifying this shift through a severe solar storm expected tomorrow. A powerful geomagnetic surge is moving toward Earth, capable of lighting up auroras across middle to high latitudes and stirring the planet’s magnetic field. When solar fire meets Earth’s shield, it creates visible light in the skies—and invisible recalibration within our bodies, emotions, and nervous systems. These storms often arrive as catalysts, not disruptions.

This is where Phoenix energy comes fully into view. Phoenix energy is not slow or subtle; it is catalytic, revelatory, and irreversible. It burns through outdated structures in order to reassemble us at a higher coherence. The solar storm mirrors this archetype perfectly: intense solar fire interacting with Earth’s field, breaking through barriers, illuminating what has been hidden, and forcing rapid reorganization.

On a physical and emotional level, many may feel heightened sensitivity today and tomorrow—fatigue, heart awareness, pressure in the head, ringing ears, emotional waves, or sudden clarity followed by release. These are not signs of imbalance, but of recalibration. Phoenix energy often feels like intensity before understanding, heat before clarity, and endings that arrive without negotiation.

It’s important to recognize what this energy is not. This is not Snake energy, which works slowly through shedding and inward digestion, nor is it Horse energy, which drives forward motion and outward momentum. This is the space between: the moment of ignition. The old has already loosened its grip, but the new has not yet asked us to run. Phoenix stands in the fire and reshapes identity itself.

This week begins under powerful Phoenix-level solar activity. If your nervous system is asking for steadiness as these energies integrate, the new Bioenergetic Shielding Activations in the 3D to 5D Activations Library offer grounded support to help you move through the week with clarity and stability:

As we move through today and into tomorrow’s solar storm, the invitation is not to push or force action, but to witness what is rising. Rest when needed. Ground when intensity peaks. Let insights land without immediately acting on them. Phoenix energy asks only one thing of us now: allow the burn to complete, so that what emerges next is not reaction—but truth reborn. Stay tuned for more updates as we navigate this solar week. Much love 💖

WE ARE ONE ♡

THE PHOENIX FREQUENCY ✨AFTER THE FIRE, WHEN IDENTITY QUIETLY REORGANIZES

Dear friends, the Phoenix is the signature energy moving through this threshold into 2026. It is not a momentary influence, but a governing frequency—one that speaks of irreversible transformation, internal truth, and identity rebirth that cannot be undone. The Phoenix does not arrive to inspire hope or motivation; it arrives when something has already burned beyond repair. What we are experiencing now is not preparation for change, but the lived reality of it. The fire has passed through the system, and there is no returning to the previous form.

Phoenix energy is fundamentally different from cycles of healing or growth. Healing repairs what was wounded; the Phoenix replaces what no longer exists. This is why many feel disoriented yet clear at the same time. Old roles, emotional contracts, and survival strategies simply stop functioning. There is less emotional charge around them, less attachment, less desire to explain or fix. The Phoenix does not negotiate with the past—it renders it complete. What remains is essence, stripped of excess and distortion.

As this Phoenix frequency anchors into the 2026 field, it works deeply through identity and nervous system authority. Many are noticing a collapse of tolerance for misalignment: conversations feel heavy, environments feel loud, and obligations feel artificial. This is not withdrawal—it is refinement. The system is recalibrating to a truer internal signal. The Phoenix energy restores sovereignty by removing the need to perform, justify, or maintain outdated versions of self.

In the body, Phoenix energy often registers as paradox: fatigue alongside lucidity, stillness paired with inner intensity. The physical system may crave rest, simplicity, and warmth as it adapts to carrying less density. Emotional responses flatten where they once spiked. There may be moments of grief, but they are clean and brief, like a final honoring rather than a reopening of wounds. The Phoenix does not mourn endlessly—it acknowledges and moves on.

What defines the Phoenix most clearly is timing. There is no urgency here. No push to act, declare, or move forward prematurely. Direction is reorganizing at a foundational level, and action will naturally follow once coherence is complete. Until then, restraint is wisdom. The Phoenix understands that rising too soon distorts the form. Stillness is not stagnation; it is structural integrity being rebuilt from the inside out.

As we continue into the 2026 frequencies, Phoenix energy becomes the stabilizing force that ensures what emerges next is real. Not aspirational, not reactive, not driven by momentum—but embodied. The wings will extend when the system is ready, not before. For now, the Phoenix remains present, alive, and aware in the ashes, reminding us that true rebirth is not dramatic. It is inevitable. Much love 💖
