A near-death experience when I almost drowned at 5 years old inspired a spiritual openness within me that has persisted throughout my lifetime. While I was a medical technologist working in clinical laboratories for a little over 30 years, I yearned to work with people in a more direct and deeper capacity. After reading Dr. Michael Newton's Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, about 20 years ago, I knew that I had to learn to do this sacred work of Life Between Lives hypnotherapy- it was a calling! In 2013 I trained for trans-personal hypnotherapy and past life regression therapy with Paul Aurand, MHt, of Holistic Healing Center, NY, NY. I am an IACT certified hypnotherapist. I wanted a strong clinical foundation for doing this work, so I went back to college in 2013 and graduated with an MS in clinical mental health counseling at USM in 2016. After practicing Reiki levels I and II for about 13 years, I became a Traditional Usui Reiki Master/Teacher in 2014, upon completing a yearlong apprenticeship with Patricia Keene, RMT. I trained with the Michael Newton Institute in August of 2016 and became fully certified as a Life Between Lives (LBL) therapist in 2017.
Hypnotherapy, past life regression (PLR), and Life Between Lives (LBL) Spiritual Regression hypnotherapy simply facilitate a deeply relaxed state, which quiets the busy analytical mind, and allows for the expansion and experiential exploration of inner states of consciousness and knowing. PLR and LBL hypnotherapy take place in a similar alpha/theta brain wave state such as occurs in deep meditation, whereupon one's own soul consciousness, including memories and connections/communications with spirit guides and other souls, can be accessed more directly and experientially. Therein lies great potential for working with and healing any issues at hand, whether addressing chronic pain, addictions, phobias, depression, anxiety, relationship patterns, discovery of one's life purposes and meaning, loss, and many other concerns. The hypnotherapist is an "artful" facilitator in this process. All sessions are holistically-oriented, are guided by Spirit, and are supported and empowered by Reiki (Universal Life Force Energy), a tremendously restorative and balancing healing modality.
I also offer grief and life transition counseling, along with Traditional Usui Reiki sessions.
Having apprenticed as a sound healing practitioner with Kalee Coombs of Vibrations of Joy during the summer of 2016, I include elements of sound therapy in sessions. Aromatherapy, and crystal/mineral therapy are often part of healing sessions as guided.
