I was initiated from a young age into my subtle energy practices, and most definitely they have morphed, shifted, expanded, and most definitely changed as I grew. They shared with me practices to support me in my life, as well as were a reliable tool-kit to assist me in exploring the longer self-reflective journeys of “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?”, amongst the continuous barrage of life’s challenges, mistakes, and lessons to face, experience, and digest. I was a child that remembered, hence rebelled at quite a young age from authoritarian systems that were still placed into our societies. I learned quickly that people didn’t like to talk about Spirit, were afraid of insight and truths shared, and learned to shut it down. But then, my body wasn’t so happy of this ‘cloaking’ of our connections to the in-between. My stumbles, difficulties, and further discomforts progressed.

My study of subtle energy extended beyond the home practices shared of the branches of yoga, by my teens I began to experience immense pain in my physical body and began to learn further of how the physical body works with our energy body. I began to practice more physical yoga asana (postures) & pranayama (breathwork) to support my subtle works with consciousness, which helped with my work into the uncomfortable. This led to me studying and training in Hatha Yoga for years with teachers, culminating in me receiving multiple teaching certifications from 2008-2012 in teaching methodology, yoga asana, meditation, philosophy and pranayama, as well as the further practices of the even subtler stages of practice. As I began facilitating group practices, first locally in Toronto and then Vancouver, my interest in the energy alchemy experienced within my yoga practice led me to explore the Reiki healing method of Usui.

Reiki and Yoga opened within me my feared connections with my intuition, as well as only affirmed my gifts that I came into this lifetime with, a capacity to move through many subtle realms, as well as communicate to energy beings that may not be in form. I started to channel further messages from Spirit, those most Divine, ancestors of my bloodlines, and Ancients. As I traveled to South America in 2012, to connect with a part of my paternal heritage, I had already formed, by this point in my life, community with other seers, psychics and Divine messengers. Yes, we tend to gravitate towards eachother. I began to further work with the energy of the elements, the land, waters, and whispers of my ancestors, and learned with them how to heal, as I continued to remember. Remembering my soul experiences, retrieving aspects of me, restoring me, as I stumbled along to see how to navigate all these deep experiences amidst a society that shared with me ways that did not support life, or my gifts.

My healing journey and study of subtle energy supported me in gently healing from multiple traumatic experiences, abusers, manipulators (and energy vampires), as well as learning how to navigate beyond the systems structured in the world, like patriarchy, supremacy, and capitalism. It helped me to grow further capacity and strength to unlearn and unravel intergenerational patterns of being, that were unsustainable forwards. It shared with me how to grow healthy boundaries and more compassion. As a teacher, I am constantly learning. As a healer, I humbly acknowledge the cycles of healing that are inter-mixed with growth, and tend to be in regular contemplation/reflection amongst the processes of transmutation. Subtle energy practices, further travel in our realms of consciousness, as well as it’s medicine, have been the most impactful support system for me to do immense work through my shadows and darkness, as well as to learn of our human capacity, as alchemists. I learned of sovereignty, truth, love, and protection. I give deep heartfelt gratitude to all the teachers and healers I have continued to study with over the years of refining, revising, and rebirthing.

At times, subtle energy medicine has been over-simplified, for it is simple. But, there are multiple layers of energy to be explored, with different skillsets asked for, as you continue. I hope that my work shared with you can support an understanding of the practices to accommodate further capacity to assist your transformations and soul healing. It is gentle work that grows and shifts as you do, paced over time, with spaces between.
