Debbie's Journey
My life has been fun, happy, sad,
heartbreaking, and tumultuous.
I have spent many years pursuing answers regarding my personal family history. I decided not to live in the dark and to stop the grief and shame cycle. I came to realize my family history is a part of me and I chose to not allow it to be hidden away.
Our family history sometimes, as it is in my case, is swept under the rug to hopefully be forgotten. However, when you try to hide things under a rug, every time you step on the rug you feel a little, or big, lump and know it is still there. The lump is waiting until the day you lift up the rug and you bring it out in the open for the “lump” to finally be dealt with.
In the 80’s after a tragic event occurred, I felt lost and eventually wound up in a toxic relationship. It was on New Year’s Eve 1985 I went for a night cross-country ski alone. The moon was almost full and it was beautiful. I took a break, sat in the snow and gazed at the snow glistening and the mountains reflecting in the moonlight glow, the only sound was my breathing. It was breathtaking. As I was remembering my life and questioning my current life situation, I asked out loud into the cold, still, quiet night, “What am I doing? What am I doing?”
In that instance I had my spiritual awakening and received a message directly from Source. The gift Source gave me came in the form of three simple words: “So change it”.
In that moment I was reminded that there was something more for me in life. I was reminded that I could find my confidence knowing that whatever I set my mind to, I could do it. I knew there was a way back to my true self. From this moment I knew there was a way to become the person I wanted to be.
A way to discover and realize deep healing from within.
In the 90’s I began to meditate and practice yoga. I gained a realization of how powerful the body, mind, spirit connection is to finding balance, health, and wholeness in life. I read many books on spiritually and self-help with a few of my favorite authors being Wayne Dyer, Caroline Myss, Lousie Hay, Echart Tolle, Gary Zukav, and Deepak Chopra. The first book I read by Deepak was the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and I became captivated by this passionate discovery. I have read and studied anything by Deepak since then.
A period of time passed and I found myself on a journey of shamanism. This deepened my understanding of healing from a spiritual perspective. I continued my explorations which led to The Chopra Global Center and experiencing Deepak in person. I found myself experiencing a deeper understanding of where my wounding had begun. I was led to another teacher and guide and my journey continued into my healing of recessed woundings I had not realized were under the surface, buried. Everything I had done since the 1980’s had been bringing me to this phase of my deepest healing.
As my spiritual and healing journey deepened, my life took another pivot and I retired from the medical field to embark on a new journey. I became an educator and facilitator in holistic and integrative medicine.
Today I weave together 40 years of experience from my medical background with my knowledge of Ayurveda, Meditation, Shamanism, and the profound work of the hero's journey and self-excavation through shadow work.
All of these experiences have led me to transform, grow, heal, and love myself.
I have spent my life in service to others through my nursing practice and healing work. I have over 40 years’ experience as a Registered Nurse with a Master’s Degree in Education. I am certified under the tutelage of Deepak Chopra through the Chopra Global Center in Ayurveda Lifestyle, Primordial Sound Meditation, and as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). I am an initiated Shamanic Practitioner under the Q’ero Peruvian tradition.
My role as a professional educator, facilitator, and spiritual guide helps clients explore and heal their body, mind, spirit with support, guidance, and compassion. Through the work of many pillars of health, childhood, generational, and past life trauma/wounding healing, we embark on a journey together to restore you to an overall feeling of wholeness, inner peace, and self-love.
It is an honor for me to guide my clients on their personal healing journey and to achieve wellness on all levels physically, emotionally, and spiritually – body, mind, and spirit.
