EMOTIONS: The Crucible and Catalyst for Healing
I had to ring a bell for help to use the bathroom. I was 23. Fresh out of Journalism school and an international fashion model, the “perfect” world I had created was shattering. Bedridden, I was forced to look at the emotions I had run from – the abuse,the shame, the anger. I had pushed them down so hard and for so long they finally erupted like fire into my joints.
Underneath all the demands and judgment of how life should look or be was a very loving, timid young woman who had never been seen and reflected in her gifts, but rather taught to conform to fit the expectations of others. At a bookstore in Paris, I found the book “Hands of Light” and embarked on a four-year, healing journey at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, to understand the connection between my emotions and my diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
What I got in touch with amazed me. I felt my anger for the first time in my life and it wasn’t destructive like I thought it would be…it was invigorating and gave me inner strength to speak my truth and set healthy, respectful boundaries for myself. I realized my unconscious anger was turned inward killing me off. Once I learned how to hold a non-judgmental space for it to just be, and integrate–my body healed. I am currently RA negative—something the doctors said was “impossible.”
As a Brennan Healing Science Practitioner I draw from over 85 specific techniques in working with the Human Energy-Consciousness System through hands-on-healing energy work and Transpersonal Psychology. I have also been trained in the Brofman Body Mirror system, Sound Healing, and I am currently in my third year of the four-year program at The School for Non-Dual Healing and Awakening with modern Kabbalist Jason Schulman.
I am passionate about helping people get in touch with their bodies consciously, to become aware of how emotions and belief systems can cause defensive energy patterns and blocks within the human energy field. I facilitate and teach others to release these blocks for themselves and to find the intimate creative life force within, waiting to be rediscovered, acknowledged, and integrated.
I recently got married and moved from New York City to Ashland and I am excited to be part of the professional team at Wellspring Centre. I see clients in person in both cities and I am also available for long distance sessions. Please feel free to contact me for a complimentary 20-minute conversation at: +1.646.283.3265/awakenyourpower
