A Prayer, a Promise & a Dream
About a year ago I began feeling restless, burnt out and uninspired with my work. I was even considering leaving healing behind altogether. I took a few actions with the intention of creating my own body of work that is more in alignment with who I am and my beliefs.
I got a part time job working for Dr.Dan in Newburyport, MA. I had seen him as a patient and believe him to be a true healer who is doing fascinating and unique work in the world. I wanted to learn about how he uses neuromuscular testing for diagnostic purposes and be around someone who inspired me. My experience there has not disappointed.
I signed myself up for business coaching and began to dig deep and work hard on developing my own body of work so that I could provide a more authentic and aligned experience for my clients.
I got certified in methods that had helped me and started reading books and historic academic texts that aligned with my faith and worldview.
All of this brings me to where I am currently, which is preparing a new body of work and reflecting back on my journey, which I believe started with a prayer.
A Prayer
I have shared many times that my healing journey began when I became very sick at the age of 25 and almost lost my life. In the most dire of circumstances, I informed my mother that I felt I was about to slip into a coma as she and I waited for an ambulance from the side of Route 9 during rush hour in Newton, MA. I prayed the Hail Mary repeatedly in silence. In an act of what I believe to be Divine intervention, my mother discharged me from the hospital later that day and brought me to an integrative healing practice that evening, where a naturopathic doctor had agreed to stay late to see me. Dr. Jill Kenney sent me home with a homeopathic remedy that I believe ultimately saved my life. To this day, I begin my days with a morning prayer, asking for Divine intervention and help, which many of you know as the Morning Consecration practice that I share with clients.
A Promise
While I was no longer dying, I was still very sick and unable to gain weight. I had placed myself in the care of this naturopathic doctor and an acupuncturist. As I was lying on the acupuncturist’s table praying, I felt the presence of God. I began to speak to God and made a promise in that moment that if I were to survive this ordeal and regain my health, I would dedicate my life to helping others by studying, practicing and sharing whatever helped me. At that time I still had more faith in medical science than the integrative care I was receiving and I believed that I would have to become an endocrinologist eventually. Little did I know, my path would look much different and my health would not come from traditional medicine. The conversation, however, has kept me on a purposeful path to help and serve others with a pure intention to fulfill my promise to God.
A Dream
One night, about a year later, I had a dream that I was in a building in my town that I knew well. A door opened in a hallway and I was pulled through the door only to find myself seated on a dune in a desert under a white tent. No one else was around. I was seated facing a side of the tent waiting, but I did not know what I was waiting for. Suddenly, Jesus’ face appeared on the side of the tent. He stared right at me and said “You must do my work.” I felt his voice echo throughout my entire being and his message was simple and clear. His face disappeared from the side of the tent. I was left sitting there until I was pulled back through the doorway and into the building where the dream began. I immediately woke up, wrote down the experience. I have thought of it every day since. Everyday since then I have called in Jesus to help me with each session and client and he has served as a guide.
My New Year’s Resolution for 2025 was to surrender to and honor God’s Will for my life. Everything that has shown up since has been transformative, healing, uncomfortable, challenging, amazing and directing me toward alignment. I will be moving forward with new offerings and a new business structure, which will be informed by many years of study, experience and my own faith. I feel this will allow me to better serve my clients while also remaining inspired and in alignment with myself. The work that I will be sharing has helped me and I know it will serve others as well.
Stay tuned for more!
