SOMETIMES LIFE BRINGS YOU BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE.

MY JOURNEY WITH ENERGY WORK BEGAN UNEXPECTEDLY, MANY YEARS AGO.

IN MY EARLY TWENTIES, I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT THAT LEFT ME STRUGGLING PHYSICALLY. EVENTUALLY, I DISCOVERED AN OSTEOPATH WHO WORKED NOT ONLY WITH THE PHYSICAL BODY, BUT ALSO INTUITIVELY WITH ENERGY.

THE EXPERIENCE CHANGED MY UNDERSTANDING OF HEALING.

I DISCOVERED THAT THERE COULD BE MORE TO OUR WELLBEING THAN WHAT COULD SIMPLY BE SEEN, MEASURED OR EXPLAINED. AND, PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, I EXPERIENCED FOR MYSELF THE PROFOUND DIFFERENCE THAT CAN COME FROM BEING TREATED AS A WHOLE PERSON.

SOMETHING STAYED WITH ME AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE.

FOR MANY YEARS, I WORKED INTUITIVELY WITH HORSES. ANIMALS TAUGHT ME AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT ABOUT ENERGY, PRESENCE AND CONNECTION.

THEY DON'T NEED WORDS TO COMMUNICATE HOW THEY FEEL. THEY RESPOND TO INTENTION, ATTENTION, ENVIRONMENT AND THE ENERGY OF THE PERSON AROUND THEM.

OVER TIME, I BECAME INCREASINGLY AWARE OF HOW NATURALLY I WORKED IN THIS WAY. AND EVENTUALLY I BEGAN TO WONDER: WHAT IF THIS WASN'T SIMPLY SOMETHING I WAS INTERESTED IN? WHAT IF IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS MEANT TO DO? COMING HOME TO THE WORK.

I EVENTUALLY TOOK THE STEP I HAD BEEN QUIETLY CIRCLING FOR YEARS. I BECAME ATTUNED AS A REIKI MASTER, ALONGSIDE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP MY OWN INTUITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH ENERGY WORK.

REIKI GAVE ME A FOUNDATION AND A LANGUAGE FOR SOMETHING I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED INTUITIVELY. BUT ALMAVIDA IS NOT ABOUT FOLLOWING A FORMULA. IT IS ABOUT BRINGING TOGETHER WHAT I HAVE LEARNED, WHAT I INTUITIVELY SENSE, AND THE PERSON SITTING IN FRONT OF ME.

EVERY SESSION IS DIFFERENT.

WHY ALMAVIDA? ALMA — SOUL. VIDA — LIFE. ALMAVIDA — SOUL LIFE.

FOR ME, THE NAME REPRESENTS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR INNER WORLD AND THE LIFE WE CREATE AROUND US.

IT'S ABOUT LIVING WITH GREATER AWARENESS OF OURSELVES. OUR ENERGY. OUR INTUITION. OUR CONNECTION TO NATURE. OUR RELATIONSHIPS. OUR BODIES. OUR EXPERIENCES. AND THAT QUIET INNER KNOWING THAT CAN SOMETIMES BECOME BURIED BENEATH THE NOISE OF EVERYDAY LIFE.

COME HOME TO YOURSELF.
