MY JOURNEY

Fascination and intrigue can hardly begin to describe the discovery and learning I have been experiencing on my life journey with energy work. And much to my surprise, the more I delve into it the more I realize it actually started long before I was even remotely aware of what the journey was, how I would learn about it, and where it continues to take me.

Where it all started...

I was born in Taos, a small Spanish village quietly nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in northern New Mexico - “The Land of Enchantment”. A small close knit community steeped in a rich Spanish culture where the hispanic cultural religious beliefs and the supernatural were always at odds but yet complemented one another in a way that opposites attract and somehow manage to work in unison. On top of that, our community neighbor was the Taos Pueblo where the Native American inhabitants of the pueblo shared in the polarity of their religious customs and our hispanic cultural religious beliefs. Mix that all together and my childhood was filled with stories of magic, mystery, and intrigue.

The stories of, magic and faith, and of supernatural beings and holy entities always had my imagination piqued. And as a child there were questions... oh were there questions. But as cultural custom goes - having faith did not allow you to ask questions. Especially if it dealt with the counterbalance of any religious belief.

The two characters I found most fascinating were the curanderas (spiritual healers) and the brujas (evil witches). In our culture it is believed that both the curandera and the bruja work with the energies of the universe - one works with the light where as the other works with the dark. What intrigued me most was that even though they both essentially worked outside the religion which was sacrilegious in itself, there was not only acceptance of the curandera but there was great reluctant respect given to the curandera.

To get a better sense of this cultural dichotomy not to mention just a really exciting coming of age story I highly recommend reading the book "Bless me Ultima” by Rudolfo Anaya.

Skip ahead several years latter...

The childhood questions never went away, and as I grew into adulthood the questions increased. My quest for answers kept bringing me to “Energy”. Energy was what gave the curandera and the bruja (which by now I had come to learn that not all witches are evil) the base from which they worked.

But more important than the path my questions were leading me to, there was an event that became one of those life changing pivotal experiences.

When my son Erik was two months old, a series of heart defects were detected. The news was devastating, since it would require open heart surgery. At the time, I was not sure if the news that not only would he need open heart surgery but that they wanted to wait until he was at least 4 years of age when his body would be stronger was good news or just plain cruel. Eventually, the four year wait turned out to be 4 of the most important years of my journey because this is where I became familiar with my gift.

Immediately after the initial shock of the harsh reality, I instinctively would place my hands on Erik while putting him to bed for the evening and would call on Mother Mary for assistance. I would feel the energy flowing from me to him. Soon the flow of energy began to feel stronger. brighter, and faster to the point that it would just swoosh into his body. When the first strong fluid flow of energy rushed into Erik’s body I can still remember thinking “WOW, something really big is happening”. I could even see the energy moving around the ceiling in his room. That day was when I realized that I had a gift which allowed me to tap into the energies of the universe - it was a gift of a healing touch.

Four years went by and the energy I was sharing with my son was now full and abundant. The day of the surgery was a very special day on many levels - Erik’s complex surgery was a success, his recovery time more than amazed the doctors, and I received an unexpected special talisman. Erik’s story is an incredible one that I would be happy to share with you, so contact me if your are interested in hearing more.

My move to Sedona in 1993...

I am now fully immersed in sharing my gift with others and freely living my truth and passion. I have never been more comfortable as to who I am and what I do. To finally be able to share with others my healing touch has brought pure pleasure, peace, and harmony into my life. But even more important than what I am personally experiencing are the experiences and benefits I am able to provide for others in helping them find balance in their lives. Thank you to each and every one of you that continue to be a part of my scared journey as one who provides natural healing through energy work.

and So It Is and So I Am.....
