Can you share a few details about your professional beginnings?
I have been seeking answers since my teen years. I was drawn to natural ways of healing the body and at the same time had so many existential questions. Studying Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbalism) rooted my knowledge deeply in the physical dimension of our being. We learned in depth both from Western & Eastern medicine.
Theta Healing took me to the other extremity of healing the mind, emotional & spiritual dimensions.
What is “Healing 2 Love”?
We are beings of love. Look at most babies & children. They are naturally loving, joyful & playful. However, if we take a look at most adults now, we are more prone to stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. That begs the questions “What created such a dramatic shift?” and “What can be done to fix this?”. The answer can be found in education:
- Mental Education:
We teach our children to change themselves to fit in, to be socially acceptable and well-behaved. Molding them into a pattern killers their uniqueness and natural personal flow. There is no way a human can grow to be truly happy when they can not be authentic and freely make decisions based on their heart’s compass if they have so many things to consider.The basic need it portrays to: being acknowledged (validation, acceptance);
- Emotional Education:
The lack of healthy emotional teaching causes emotions to be suppressed and to linger instead of simply expressed and done with. Over time, this is the cause of severe physical illness. Young children can feel pure rage, and 5 minutes later return to pure joy. Can you imagine what this world would look like without repressed anger???The basic need it portrays to: being loved unconditionally;
- Physical Education:
Our body is divinely designed. It has within the DNA everything we need in all dimensions of existence. The power of healing is mind-blowing, but we know so little about it. We nourish our bodies with food, drink, breath, and emotion. Did you know this? We have free choice for our nourishment. Will it be supportive of this divine design or whether it will be harmful? Honoring your body means eating with love, touching with love, and moving with love. Food can be slowly poisonous. So can relationships. So can sex. So can aggression to the body.The basic need it portrays to: feeling safe.
From this, we understand that in order to return to love and joy, we need to re-educate ourselves in a way that is compassionate & loving to ourselves and to our needs:
Being loved:
This is an inside job. Our happiness is dependent on our ability to have that flow of love in the heart regardless of our surroundings. The attempt to find somebody to love in order to be happy is a harmful widely spread belief.
The healing tool we use at “Healing 2 love” to meet the need to be loved is the ‘Love Wash’.
Being Acknowledged:
Like being loved, this is an inside job. Everything is. We can never control others, only the way we perceive life, self, our thoughts & emotions. Learning how to meet our own needs, honoring ourselves (body, emotions, thoughts, actions), radiating love & joy – this creates this vibe that others sense.
The healing tools we use at “Healing 2 Love” to meet the need of Being Acknowledged have to do with self-acceptance & appreciation.
Feeling safe:
This has to do with our boundaries. The deeper we honor ourselves, the healthier our boundaries will be, and the safer we will be. A great way to look at our safety is via relationships. The emotional treads we do in our relationships. How much love, compassion & honor is there in our actions and words? How much abuse do we allow others to throw in our direction?
The healing tools we use at “Healing 2 Love” to meet the need to feel safe have to do with boundaries & compassion.
How do we do all this? We do it by creating a new foundation for our human experience based on self-love, acceptance, appreciation, and boundaries. We do it by re-educating the mind with new ideas honorable to self & others via inspiration, healing emotionally by clearing old stories from the mind and subconscious mind via meditations and playing with life in a different way, watching your world change gradually.
When we learn to honor our existence, we honor others’ existence, too. We become generous, thoughtful, loving, and compassionate. It glows from the inside, projected out to the world. We begin healing humanity by healing ourselves. And so it is!
What is the ‘Love Wash’?
The ‘Love Wash’ is a healing meditation. Its benefits include balancing emotions, grounding (calming the nervous system), quieting the mind, vibrating in the frequency of love, focus & clarity, connection to the ‘now’, compassion to self & others, healing physical pain and so much more.
I advise listening to the meditation daily for at least 30 days. After that, you can easily use it whenever necessary. Just close your eyes, breathe, focus on your heart space, and bring the flow of love to your heart. This can be done in 30 seconds at this point.

What can people expect from your workshops?
We always work in multi-dimensional layers (mind, body, emotions, energy, spirit)so our changes affect each and every one of these layers.
The first benefit is a change in perspective. People learn to “think” from the heart, and make compassionate and loving decisions.
The second benefit is the healing of “old stories”. Our personal trauma is a huge barrier, blocking us from the things we want most.
The third benefit is a bunch of healing tools for daily practice or whenever necessary.
- Can you see how this affects all dimensions of the self?
- Can you see how this affects the human experience as a collective?
- Do you now better understand why this is a Love Evolution?
Those are the questions we ask ourselves in the workshops and I find this to be so exciting, hopeful, and joyful!
