That’s me with the hair.  In my most authentic expression of self. 

Free.  Wild.  Raw.  Sensual. 

The energy of this photo is pure POWER.  That’s how that moment felt, and the photographer captured it beautifully.  Would you imagine that the woman in this photo was once completely shackled by fear, shame, and self-loathing? 

Well she had been.  Completely.  No one escapes the consequences of the systems of control. 

Patriarchy.  Aristocracy.  Monarchy.  Theocracy. 

You name it; I was under it, and in possession of all of the negative messages about women that are included in it.  Not just messages though, I had the full regalia of experiences of abuse that arise from it.  Oppressed almost to the point of death.

It is true, though, that there are jewels to be found in the shadows.  Through a series of journeys over 20 years, both external and internal, I have filled my toolbelt with many keys that open cages.  Every geographical location and people group I have spent time in have given me keys.  The Canadian North and Rockies.  Europe.  Uganda and Rwanda.  Sedona. Ojai. Hawaii and New Zealand.  Argentina, Brazil, Panama, and Nicaragua.  I hold a Masters in Counselling, and the additional depths of my abilities have come through an understanding of energy fields and many modalities that transform these fields.  Decades of living, learning, and challenging fear led to my development of The Divinely Empowered Way™. Reiki, Quantum, Healing Touch, Shamanic Journeying, Sound and Chakra work, Tantra, Yoga, Clairsentience. As each of these seat themselves at the table, I bring them into the work in the moment.  It’s a very fluid and wholistic process.

Your most authentic expression of self does not have to be mine.  It cannot be.  She is yours, exquisitely uniquely your own.  But you will know her when you feel her.  And you know at this point that you don’t.  That’s why you’re here.  And we can find her.  We can find her and bring her home from her exile. 

It begins with just a step.

Let’s take it together.
