About me and my approach
There is a benevolent wind traveling across the globe and it carries with it a most promising message of connection. In my practice, I work with a variety of individuals that are trying to connect their transformative experiences to their physical and spiritual selfs. I listen very closely as a counselor so I may help them explore their pure essence and the desire for expansion of physical and spiritual understanding. I teach personal reflection meditation with breathing practices as a way of expanding the comfort zone to include love and creativity, which are foundations for connection to our true nature. I understand the need to slowly develop a new world view after an experience, so we can then actualize and generate new ways of being. (I have had to integrate my own transformative experiences as well as address the trauma, accident and health crisis that precipitated my STEs.) I understand many forms of STEs and their transformations after working with experiencers one-on-one as well as coordinating a STE support group and helping to facilitate NDE retreats since 2006. I am committed to helping experiencers toward self-empowerment and fulfillment of STE integration. Past Local Leader of Upstate NY IANDS and an ACISTE Advisory Committee member.
My birth mother was an Atheist but I was raised Methodist by guardians. While living in Arizona, during my teens, I fell in with Navaho and Hopi families who taught me to find my own inner sacred space. Then life took hold and I focused on a career and making a living. After my NDE and STEs, I returned to native american spirituality and became a pipe holder. Around the same time, I became ordained by the Sanctuary of the Beloved of NY State. My spiritual wanderings have taught me to find the spiritual roots in all beliefs, so I now integrate Buddhist, Hindu, and Taoist practices into my Energetic Light Healing and Transformational / Integration Coaching.
In private sessions I act as a thinking partner, that sees everyone as whole and connected to their True Being. I believe many times we get stuck in the circumstances and lose track of our self empowerment and state of being. I want to listen to you and explore the experiences together to discover what is limiting, so we may find desired actions and results. I believe Love and Compassion are the universal keys to unravel all of life’s circumstances and bring us into union with the divine.
I had three very powerful experiences that were turning points in my life. The first was a near death experience, the second was a spiritually transformative experience, and the third was stage IV lung cancer that metastasized into my spine, causing it to collapse. Each experience had spiritual implications that built upon the next, leading me toward awakening. The near-death experience left me feeling alone and isolated because I had no one to share it with at that time. I do not want other experiencers to go through that isolation, so that is why I have volunteered with Upstate NY IANDS. Like most experiencers, I felt called to be of service to the world in whatever way I can contribute toward the betterment of humanity. I realize that the basic human quality of opening up and helping each other is within each of us. That spark of goodness is always there. It's our unconditional instinct.
