A brief view into my training journey...

Martial Arts / Meditation Training...

Age 12 was when I began my journey into the martial and energetic arts and it's always felt like "home" to me. 

For as long as I can remember I've been attracted to experiencing how energy moves within us and in every aspect of our lives.

In my martial and energetic training I learned to experience how having a physical foundation supports our mental, and emotional energy. How alignment, breath and focus is key to accessing our internal power.

When I was 18 and 21, I received my 1st degree black belt and second degree black belt in TaeKwon Do, under Grand Master David Chaanine.

Little did I know the next several years of my life would begin a completely new journey in understanding my body and emotions...

Eastern Energetic and Medical Training...

A back injury in my 20's (completely unrelated to martial arts) was a wake up call for deeper personal healing. I could not practice martial arts, or move my body (as a second degree black belt) in any of the ways I had in the past.

After several tests and doctors telling me "they believed I was telling the truth about my pain," but there was nothing they could really do to help me, except give me pain killers.... I realized I had to move in a different direction.

After 2 1/2 years of dealing with daily pain, I began studying everything I could about my body and emotional energy. When I began practicing daily Qigong, within 2 weeks I woke up without pain and I was stunned. 

Through working with medical Qigong and medical Qigong therapy, I also connecting the dots of the resentment I was holding in my body, not only from the injury, but from years of suppressing who I truly was.

I experienced how my emotions directly impacted my body and how my pain came back whenever I ignored what I needed to express.

My travels to China allowed me to interact with Qigong masters and their healing skills. This had such a deep impact on how I experienced energy, that I went to Yo San University and Emperor's College where I received my masters degree as a Physician of Chinese medicine (MTOM) and Acupuncture (L.Ac.) in 2005.

Then I continued my path in medical Qigong training for the next 7 years under Dr. Bernard Shannon at The International College Of Medical Qigong. Including 3 years assistant teaching with Dr. Shannon, which was an amazing experience.

Spiritual Cultivation... 

As a Spiritual Medium and a Doctor of medical Qigong (DMQ, China), I use the skills of clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience and claircognizance) and I'm able to get to root issues quickly with my clients, so healing can transform on deeper levels. 

I teach people energetic techniques to raise their frequency so they can step into greater health, and access their spiritual gifts.

These are skills we can all develop within us. It's just about learning how to go within and consciously elevate our energy in new ways.

Thank you for being here!
