LoveLight Illuminations Path To Enlightenment

I’ve always felt drawn to helping others. Ever since I was a little girl, whenever someone would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would always tell them I wanted to be a mom and I wanted to help people. It seems there has always been an endless spring of love and compassion within me and I feel an innate desire to share that energy with others. When I was 19, and an “undeclared” sophomore in college, I felt compelled to switch paths and pursue a degree in massage therapy, but continued on my college path, receiving two bachelor degrees: one in sociology, and the other in communication. I was drawn to massage at that time because massage had always been an expression of caring that resonated with me. I remember the first time I received a massage, at age 12, in my hometown in the South Bay of Los Angeles, at a therapists home practice, located across the street from the ocean. I remember feeling so deeply cared for, nurtured, and relaxed, as I received this therapeutic work, while listening to the crashing ocean waves. Like many life paths, I found myself living a life with many unexpected twists and turns, and exploring many practices that brought me to where I am today. I became deeply connected to a nature based martial arts, in 2000, and later earned my first degree black belt, after over 6 years of intense, disciplined training. I carry this training with me and have been practicing qigong for the last 20 years. This practice is what first “opened my hands” to the innate self-healing energy that is available to us if we take the time to cultivate it. After several years focusing solely on therapeutic table massage and Thai massage therapy, I have expanded my offerings to include shamanic energy healing and therapeutic movement. I’ve learned over the years, through working with clients, and navigating my own healing process, that we cannot simply focus on one aspect of ourselves. We must take into consideration the balance and harmony between our mind, body, and spirit. We must devote time, each day, to caring for each part, in order to live a life of health and vitality and one where we fully embody our truth.
