My story: Clueless to Clarity How did I get to this place of bringing spirituality, energy, and intuition into my work? Well, it’s been quite a wild ride, honestly. Years ago, someone had recommended getting a massage bi-weekly as self-care for being a mental health therapist. I remember going to a massage therapist for 5 years. She introduced me to Reiki, Energy Medicine techniques, Shamanism, and crystals. At first, I was completely confused. It was like a foreign language to me. What is she talking about? Then I experienced a life-threatening event and experienced health issues. My body is now experiencing symptoms because my body is stressed, and I’m not aware of it? Wait, crystals and learning about energy would help me? I had no idea a can of worms was about to be uncovered. Going inward from being in my head to my body was life-changing. I began to meditate, dive into my chakras, practicing mindfulness meditation, and meridian systems. Using these techniques, I managed my stress better, helped the pain, and developed my intuition. It took me a while; it was a little hard for me to buy in completely. I’m sure it was frustrating for the masseuse.

A little history. I came from two parents who worked in the medical field. So, I grew up thinking medicine, therapists, and doctors were the way to get better. Recently, I learned that one of my parents started healing some of their medical issues with energy techniques. The other one has decided that they are open to it if I do it for them. It was very woo-woo to me in the beginning. I had this inner conflict separating from my family values. Now, I believe there is a place for both western and eastern philosophies. Doctors and therapists are important, but coaches, energy healers, and shamans also have a place in our healing.
