Transforming Pain & Suffering: My Personal Journey
When I moved back to Grass Valley in 2018, I had spent the previous 10 years going through a hard-core training in facing and transforming pain and loss, in the tradition of, “Healer, heal thyself!”
First my body demanded my patience and deep healing for Lyme disease and a poisonous spider bite. Later, my husband lost his business, and our home of 30 years was short-sold; we declared bankruptcy. We had to move, leaving family (our daughter and grandkids lived next door) and friends. Then I spent three years in a job that sometimes felt like prison. And recently, an untimely death in the family left us reeling. My sense of identity, the roles I played in the community and all my dreams were lost; I would wake at night in tears, literally feeling like I was dying. Anxiety, fear, guilt, grief, anger, helplessness and self-recrimination – all came to visit.
Perhaps you can relate --
It seems like so many people are really suffering.
Hardship and trials come sweeping in like tidal waves.
I am so thankful for my years of training in the healing arts and spiritual practices. When so much was lost and the way was unclear, the skills and tools I had been cultivating for the last two decades proved to be my true foundation. I continue to return to my deepest knowing, that Life presents us with what we need to grow into our true identity as servants of love and healing.
Through my practices I was able to transform pain and rise, like the oft-mentioned Phoenix, out of the ashes. Sickness felt like opportunity. Prison offered true freedom. These days I feel healthy, energetic and optimistic, even in the face of continuing transition.
Transform...
Sorrow into joy
Pain into ease
Sickness into health
Weakness into strength
Fear into calm
My passion is healing, using my intuition and training to serve people who are experiencing pain on any level. That is why my healing practice is called, “Life Alchemy.” I help people to transmute the pain of illness, grief, work or school anxiety, financial worries, stressful relationships, burdensome guilt, depression, and other debilitating situations.
Negative patterns, and unconscious beliefs that cause illness and suffering can transform into new possibilities, and latent talents and capacities blossom.
If you are experiencing illness or pain, I would love to be of assistance. Please schedule your complimentary half-hour consultation. I have designed affordable programs for those who are ready for positive life changes. We can do healing sessions in person, by phone, or internet.
