Elemental Embodiment Exploration

In my early twenties, I was an endurance cyclist and had a serious accident that I never fully recovered from. I sought out osteopathy, physical therapy, and eventually chiropractic care. Frustrated by several providers telling me that I would have to see them for the rest of my life, I began to seek out ways to heal my body in a more sustainable way.

Years of trauma as a child caused me to be pretty guarded. Through many forms of therapy, I was able to see that somatic modalities allowed me to feel safe without having to rehash all that I had been through. I was incredibly curious about energy healing and learned about network chiropractic care. In March 2020, I began my journey with a local chiropractor in the hopes of realigning my body physically, but I soon noticed profound shifts in my resilience in social interactions and decision making.

I learned that some of my dearest friends in the indigenous community and my chiropractor shared an admiration for the same spiritual teacher from Africa. When I learned that I could take a online course from my chiropractor to learn how to heal my body at home, I jumped at the chance. Several months after that, I enrolled in a course to learn how to facilitate sessions on other people.

I had no idea whether this was the right decision for me. I have been an architect for twenty years and really had no experience healing anyone else, let alone myself. I knew that this work was helping me return to the cheerful, creative, and spiritual self I once was.

I am grateful to be able to share this gift with others.
