The awakening process is one of illumination…of waking up from a state of unconsciousness to realize the truth of who we really are, what the world is, and what in the world is going on! 

The process requires active participation and intention to turn within…inquire, explore, and discover things that were previously hidden or confused within ourselves.

This is a process of diving into the depths of the inner soil to uncover the roots of our conditioned unconscious landscape in the form of organizing principles/core-belief structures.

The unconscious realm of the psyche must be illuminated by the light of consciousness and met with wisdom and compassion. 

We must connect the dots, and weave a coherent understanding of how we have come to be shaped and conditioned by our life experience.

We must come to know the traumatized and wounded aspects of our psyche in mind and body, and identifying the inner landscape of our core wounds. 

The good news is that what we discover when we explore within, is that the reality of who we are is a limitless being of pure light…pure conscious awareness. 

As we realize this truth of who we are, this inner source of security and well-being becomes available to the psyche as a source of ultimate healing.  

This is the healing transformation required if we are to fully embody the process of spiritual awakening.

It is an inner alchemy of transmutation, purifying all of the density held in the mind/body down to the cellular matrix of our physical tissues, with the recognition that we have this inner light as a source of true refuge and peace. 

This course is designed to create the following outcomes:

• deeper knowledge of the psychological process of transformation at the heart of the awakening journey
• inner freedom and living from a place of conscious choice vs. unconscious conditioning
• claiming individual power and living from a place of empowerment vs. victimhood
• learning practices and tools that can be used to navigate the day-to-day and make progress towards rewiring the brain and body 

This course offers you a powerful set of teachings and practices to help you deepen your self-knowledge and gain greater mastery as you continue to traverse the spiral path of awakening and healing. 

My Personal Story and Invitation

I had stepped onto the path of awakening early in life, but my dark night of the soul initiation began in my mid 30’s when minor lower back pain quickly turned into a full blown medical emergency almost overnight with no logical explanation at the time.

I went from being a fully self-reliant high functioning young adult, with great agility and strength to being physically disabled and dependent on help within a matter of weeks.

For the 15 years that followed, I experienced multiple episodes of severe neurological malfunction and extreme pain in my lower back with little relief.

Over this course of time I searched high and low and didn’t find any answers that would explain my symptoms.

The trauma from the debilitating physical pain, not having a medical diagnosis after seeking answers from every kind of doctor imaginable, along with many other social challenges was quite overwhelming. 

This was devastating for my ego which had been identified as being a strong, healthy, high functioning, and very independent young professional.

The real raw suffering that I experienced had me on my knees with no choice but to reckon with parts of my humanity that my ego had been unconsciously defended against, namely my human vulnerability.

Through a healing journey that included so many spirals and every possible modality one can imagine, I humbly embraced my humanness and became a beautiful integration embracing my limitations and cultivating a healthy relationship with my needs. 

The more I embraced my humanity the more I felt a deepening inner wholeness that I had never known was possible. This was the true alchemy of the spiritual and human aspects of my being merging and aligning as one…the sacred marriage!

After 12 years of this I finally received a medical diagnosis that helped make my experience at least fit into some physiological reality that explained all of my symptoms in a coherent picture.  Amazing how much of a difference this made, since I had been blaming myself as we all tend to do… “It must be my unhealed psychological wounds, and not believing enough in myself."

I have known from a very young age that this was my path to help awaken and heal the planet,  but this healing crisis has been the crucible for my real integration and embodiment of my awakening process forcing me to break through spiritual bypass spaces where many of us can get stuck.

My calling now is to bring forward the medicine and wisdom I have gained through my own direct awakening journey to share with as many people as possible.

If you feel the call to this invitation, I would love for you to join me and receive the support and guidance that I have to offer you on your unique journey of healing and awakening.
