FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into the healing arts initially by entering the nursing profession. As a nurse on an orthopedic/surgical unit, I noticed patients readmitted for the same issue repeatedly. I began exploring ways that I could support the person in my care in a holistic way. I received a Master Degree of Art in Applied Psychology (now called psychospiritual psychology), learned energy healing techniques, took classes on oriental medicine, herbal medicine, Svaroopa Yoga, homeopathy, tarot card reading, psychic readings and more. Eventually this quest led me to study the medicine traditions of the Native American people with a focus on the Andean traditions of Peru. Overall, my passion for learning and desire to assist others in their journey of wholeness influenced my decision to choose this line of work.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The most important advice that I can share for a customer who is looking to purchase services is to follow her/his inner voice/intuition. Although it is important for the client to gather information about various providers and their services, it is most important to choose the provider that resonates with the person. The inner voice communicates in various ways. A person may have a gentle nudge to call a specific provider, may be drawn to return to the website frequently, have a knowing, receive a sign such as hearing or seeing the name of the business or provider, etc. The inner self will always guide the person to the provider that is correct.
