How did you get into holistic healing and how did it become your calling?
I began my career as a psychotherapist trained in clinical hypnosis. In hypnosis, we understand that the unconscious mind has both the answer to most of life’s difficulties and the ability to lead one out of a state of suffering.
Over time in my clinical practice, I discovered that I had “psi” capacities that allowed me to “see” into people’s other lifetimes, communicate with their ancestors, and recognize when a client’s suffering was related to an attachment or spiritual attack. These “psi” capacities went beyond the scope of traditional clinical practice and I began to seek out teachers in other holistic approaches to healing in order to integrate these into my work with clients.
What specific therapy services/modalities do you offer?
The focus of my clinical practice today is in the holistic healing of trauma. In addition to Transpersonal Psychotherapy, I offer CranioSacral Therapy, Energy Healing and Shamanic Healing. I also teach meditation classes and hold workshops in “Soul Tapping”, Family Constellations and Shamanic Practice and Healing techniques.
Can you share some details about Soul Tapping in particular? How does it work?
Soul Tapping is a therapeutic modality that combines Sacred Geometry with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping), BreathWork, and TFT (Thought Field Therapy). Soul Tapping is used to identify and treat disorders of cognitive and emotional functioning that are associated with trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional pain associated with constriction or density in the physical and energetic body.
These areas of constriction or density are called a “Samsara”. Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means “a place of suffering”. A Samsara is a largely unconscious state of being that is self-limiting, self-denying, and self-sabotaging.
These “places of suffering” are a collection of thoughts and beliefs held together by the “glue” of unacknowledged and unprocessed emotions. The Samsara, when activated, pulls our conscious mind into a state of density, stuckness, and a felt-sense of inner deadness and lack of vitality. This repetitive pull creates patterns of self-limiting choices and behavior.
All the traumas in our lives, both major and minor, have the potential to create Samsara. Samsara can also be created by the beliefs and thoughts that we inherit from our parents, our families and ancestors, our educational system, our religious upbringing, and our society’s norms related to gender roles, poverty, ethnicity, power, and obedience…all the “isms”. We can carry many layers of Samsara simply resulting from the conditioning we received as children by family, religion, and educational institutions. Most people are unconsciously controlled by the thoughts and beliefs of 6-8 Samsara. Soul Tapping can be used repeatedly to un-layer these Samsara, thereby freeing the mind of suffering.
Originally developed as a method to break through a case of cult-related brain-washing involving profound physical and sexual abuse, Soul Tapping has been found to be extremely helpful in breaking through the thoughts and beliefs associated with the trauma of abuse. It is helpful in identifying and deactivating the limiting thoughts, beliefs, and emotions imposed by the more benign yet deeply impacting, familial, societal, and religious brain-washing we receive as children. For example, if you believe that you are unworthy of good things, such as love, stability, safety, and respect, you will be able to trace the origins of those beliefs in your childhood experiences within your family or other institutions such as church, school, or the societal messages received in advertising, the television and the media.
These beliefs and feelings are your conditioning (brainwashing) and eventually become a Samsara. The Samsara begins to influence and even unconsciously control your motivations, aspirations, and decisions. You then find yourself creating a life where you don’t have the love you want, the stability you need, and the safety and respect you desire in your relationships. If you have repeated self-sabotaging behaviors, and choices, or have looping negative thoughts about yourself, you are in a Samsara.
If you find it difficult to live up to your own potential, you are in a Samsara. If you feel stuck in a relationship, a job, or a life circumstance, chances are that you are in a Samsara. If you are chronically sick, depressed, or anxious, you are stuck in a Samsara. Soul Tapping combines EMDR with Sacred Geometry, EFT, and Breath Work as a rapid way of dissolving the glue of programmed, stuck beliefs and emotions while releasing the energy of the Samsara. This dissolution and releasing process is then followed by a process of TFT to create a new, higher vibrational energetic matrix of thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. No longer a Samsara, these new thoughts, beliefs, and emotions are “tapped in” to your emotional and energetic Matrix, which then reprograms the mind. Follow-up reinforcement exercises are assigned to strengthen and stabilize the new Matrix. Soul Tapping can typically be completed in 4 individual sessions, or in a two-day group workshop.
You are also a certified teacher at the Heart of the Healer Shamanic Mystery School. What can you tell me about that part of your work?
As a Sanctioned teacher in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of Cross-Cultural Shamanism, I teach both the year-long Foundational Apprenticeship and the 3-month-long Intermediate Apprenticeship in Shamanic healing techniques. The Apprenticeships are designed to assist participants in releasing the past, letting go of trauma and limiting beliefs, and opening one up to the healing energies of the earth, nature, the cosmos and to love, as they are expressed in and through the unseen realms. Teaching people to live in a state of “ayni” or sacred reciprocity with all that is, is fundamental to healing and living life in a balanced and sacred way. Leading and guiding apprentices into the worldview, mythos, and healing arts of the Andean people brings me great joy and sacred purpose.
