It all began on a dark and stormy night…wait, it’s true, it did, but hold on a second…In hindsight there were many experiences that were maybe meant to bring about my “awakening”, but I was persistent in searching outside myself to resolve my issues, a common choice, but a choice riddled with suffering none the less. I remained in a state of dis-ease, focusing predominantly on my problems. I digress...
...One dark and stormy night, while enjoying a snowy evening dip in “the” hot tub with a additional participating rebel yells, I endured “the hot tub incident”. It had been snowing, which in itself was an anomaly since this was in Ucluelet, BC on the west coast of Vancouver Island in Canada and it rarely snows at sea level, and when it does, it never sticks around. This anomaly, combined with the steam from the hot tub created an ice mound surrounding the outside of the hot tub. An incident occurred haha, and we frantically began fleeing the hot tub, I flipped my leg over the edge reaching for the ground, but hit the ice with my soaking wet hot-tub foot and went flying into the air with both feet landing on my ass! It was hilarious! I’m the person who laughs until I cry at these accidents, it’s not appropriate, I know, but I can’t help it! I felt fine immediately afterwards…although the growing welt on my ass was a sight to be reckoned with. This HUGE welt, turned bruise, turned hematoma lasted for 3 months! I digress…again...so less than a week later, I was doing dishes and my back gave out and it was painful! I had to wait until the following day to see the chiropractor and this made for a very long night. Turns out, in my language, one hip wasn’t rotating and my sacral iliac joint wasn’t sitting correctly, causing pain, so it turns out my ass wasn’t broken…but I injured my left sacral iliac joint.
My life changed after this. Visits to my chiro 3 times a week at first, then 2, then 1 and so on… I also did massage therapy, physiotherapy, reiki, cranio-sacral, other bioenergy at a distance and a ton of acupuncture. The alternative therapies helped enormously, especially acupuncture, but always my back returned to a constant level of pain. It was a frustrating, yet illuminating experience. The injury was diagnosed as 6-8 weeks for full recovery, but lasted consistently for almost 4 years! I see it all so clearly in hindsight. Through determination and what felt like insurmountable research, I randomly discovered a healing documentary online called “Think About It" and was amazed at the results people had upon receiving Domančić Biotherapy treatments. I felt drawn to experience this and booked a distance treatment and have never looked back.
At the same time as discovering bioenergy, I had gone through a series of interesting experiences that lead to my eventual awakening to my life’s work as a holistic healer. This was somewhat disconcerting since I had already completed my education and it was not in the healing industry! My BA is Tourism and Recreation Management, not the healing profession by far, and prior to Bioenergy Therapy, I was a Planning & Community Development Consultant, something I still do, but now forms a portion of what I do, which evolved to become “self-reliance to sustain ability” and this embraces health and wellness, which turns out, is a perfect fit. I’ve learned everything’s for something! I embraced learning the Domančić Method because it felt right and the simplicity, combined with zero scanning or ego made it my perfect fit.
I completed my Level 1 certification in Philadelphia with Zoran Hochstatter and once I completed my “practicum” work, I completed my Level 2 certification in New Rochelle, New York, which I took as the perfect sign of being on my highest good of all path. I am 100% healthy in mind, body and spirit as result of the Domančić Method of Bioenergy Therapy. Healing is an interesting anomaly, where a particular modality works for some, but not for others? Why is this, what makes something work for one, yet not another? It is my belief that I was not seeing the signs; I was so intent on having the life I planned that I wasn’t awakened to the plentiful signs pointing me in an alternate, happier direction. I am full of gratitude to have endured this injury because I may not have awakened for years, perhaps not even in this lifetime and that would have been a travesty.
I feel completely aligned with being here on earth to help facilitate healing for those in need, to honour spiritual contracts, to be an anchor of light, to help other people awaken to their own life’s work and to help others heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is up to each of us to take responsibility for our own health and leave behind victim mentality. In this respect nobody healed me, but me, and the bioenergy practitioners simply acted as facilitators to assist me on my deeply personal, yet compelling healing journey.
To any regard I’m happy to share my story with you, and I do apologize for not keeping this more concise ;)
Thanks for being here :)
