No. All Religions and Spiritual Beliefs are welcome. 

The idea is to create a Community of enlightened individuals who respect all beliefs and come together to understand our appreciation and love for ourselves and Our Higher Power whomever they may be.

No. My program integrates Modern Medical practices such as Integrated Mental and Behavioral Health,  Life Coaching, and Holistic Integrative Medicine. I work with practitioners who prescribe medications, perform modern procedures, and diagnose medical conditions. 

I work with the use of Alternative and Complementary Medicines such as acupressure,  natural & herbal medicine, sound therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, Reiki, and many more. This also includes the use of Metaphysical Philosophy which refers to the studies of what cannot be reached through objective studies of material reality, (such as The Realm of Essence, The Realm of Matter, The Realm of Truth, and The Realm of Spirit) and Paraphysics and Parapsychology. 

Everyone is welcome to be a part of The Community. The community is about learning, growing, and connecting with Ourselves, Others, Our Roots, and our Higher Power. 

There are many benefits to having skills and experience that you can share with The Community to help further educate or support The Community. But it is not a requirement. We can all benefit from each other's life experiences as well. 

No. They can be purchased as a packaged deal or done as an individual service. The packages are more affordable for some people as they come with discounts, and have a built-in plan with a time frame. 

The Enlightenment calls provide a few benefits-- First, it allows the potential client a chance to explain what challenges they are facing and what they are looking to achieve. Second,  provides me a space to explain what my services entail, and together we can determine which of my services would best benefit you. Lastly, as an Energetic Healer and Holistic Practitioner, it is important to make sure that we are a good fit, and that the client is genuinely ready to do the work because it requires a lot of honesty, vulnerability, and accountability. 

This process helps both the client and myself to make sure we are in alignment, while also helping me provide a quick assessment and evaluation to make sure what the client needs is within my scope of practice, or whether they are better off with a Specialist or Clinical Medical Provider. 

No. I am a Traditional Naturopath, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, and Certified Advanced Holistic Herbalist. These are Drugless Practitioners.  I do not prescribe medication, perform surgery, or provide emergency medical services. If you need those types of treatment, you need to see a Clinical Medical Doctor or go to the Emergency Room. 

As Holistic Practitioners we do not "diagnose"  we help clients identify any imbalances or dis-eases within the body that could be causing the manifestation of their symptoms. As such we also do not claim to "cure" we help clients bring their body back into a state of homeostasis or complete balance, and ability to heal and restore itself. 

I am, however, BLS: CPR, AED, Emergency First Aid & Bloodborne Pathogens Certified. I am also a Nationally Board Certified IV Transfusion Therapist, Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Clinical Mental Health Counselor. 

I am trained to know what medications treat Medical and Psychological conditions. I also identify any interactions medication may have with natural or herbal remedies and supplements. 

My wellness plans include Complementary and Alternative Medicine practices and Natural and Herbal Remedies. I also provide counseling and coaching services to my clients, including Hypnotherapy, CBT, DBT, Mindset Transformation, Nutritional consultations, and Lifestyle management. 

As a Holistic Psychotherapist, I do not clinically diagnose clients, but I can identify potential conditions and disorders and refer and recommend clients to a Clinical Psychiatrist and Psychologist for confirmation and official medical diagnosis. 

If you are on any medications, please notify me of everything you are currently taking; this includes over-the-counter drugs to prevent interaction with herbal remedies. 

I must be informed of any medical conditions and current diagnoses you may have to determine if you may also need the assistance of a Clinical Specialist and can be referred to one. To best provide a treatment plan, I need to make sure nothing I am suggesting can worsen or irritate a current condition.  

If you are under the care of a current Medical Doctor, please continue seeing your doctor.

Hypnotherapy, also known as hypnosis, is a therapeutic practice that involves a trained professional guiding a client into a state of deep relaxation and focus. During this state, the client is more open to suggestions that can help them change their thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and more. 

Hypnosis is a changed state of awareness and increased relaxation that allows for improved focus and concentration.

It is important to note that all Hypnosis is self-hypnosis. 

It is a trance-like state, where we are calm, and kind of functioning on autopilot. We actually naturally enter states of hypnosis throughout the day. This can be most noticeable or recognized in those moments when you are driving on your route to work or back home, and you remember leaving and then the next thing you arrive at your destination but do not remember the actual drive. 

We also enter these trance-like states when we watch things like movies or television shows, and we look down and an extended period of time has gone by but it hasn't felt that long. 

Everyone can be Hypnotized. 

It is just the act of helping you become relaxed with your mind open. To help make positive changes to unwanted behaviors, remove fears and limitations, and help set a positive mindset to achieve goals. 

As hypnotherapists, we can not force you to divulge any information that you are not subconsciously comfortable giving or make you do anything you are not already willing to do. 

That is okay, and totally normal.

Hypnosis often feels like a deep sense of relaxation or heaviness, you will feel more receptive and open to suggestions. You will be fully aware and in control. 

 Whether you feel awake or fall asleep, your subconscious mind is always listening. The reason most people look like they are asleep is because of the heightened level of relaxation they feel. 

Yes!  You must do your part, too, and be ready and committed to your healing.  The brain learns by repetition. Repetition builds retention. So the more likely you are to do something, the more likely it is to stick. 

This is why on average it takes about 21 days for a new change to become a habit and about 66 days for it to become a permanent change.  

Because hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind to eliminate deeply rooted beliefs…once the beliefs are gone …they are gone! And new, positive beliefs will take their place.  

Each person is unique and responds to treatment differently. You may experience a combination of these various kinds of results.  They are all extremely beneficial and what they have in common is that you think about life in a way that allows you to be more positive, productive, and powerful. They all provide a sense of satisfaction because progress can be seen. 

The types of changes individuals can experience:

Immediate change – This is where you may feel a massive shift right away.  An immediate change in your physiology, thoughts, and behaviors right in and immediately following the session.

Incremental change – This happens over a period of time. But you may still notice differences and changes every day.

Retroactive change –  This happens when you don’t see the shifts right away, and then one day you look back and suddenly see all the things that are different and that have improved in your life.

I will have an Enlightenment Consultation with a client, to discuss what hardships or troubles they are currently facing, what their goals are, then we can discuss which service would be a best fit to help the achieve their desired results.

My program comes equipped with its own materials which include: guides, worksheets, journals, activation affirmations, meditations, and therapy modalities to help with the clients self-improvement and development. 

Results vary from person to person, their individual circumstance, and their willingness to participate in their well-being.

I promise to do MY part, but you must also do YOUR part in your healing. The clients that have the best results are those that actively incorporate and apply what they have learned in our sessions into their everyday lives, have an open mind, have absolute readiness, and have full commitment to follow through to achieve their desired goal.

I can only provide you with the information, tools, and support you need to get to where you want to go and overcome those challenges in your life, but the person who has to be willing to do what it takes to get there is Ultimately You.
