Healing Sexuality

An important arena often neglected in many people's healing journey is their sexuality. Whether it be sexual abuse from childhood or other sexual trauma in adulthood, or the affects of your sexual addiction or that of your parent or partner, sexuality is s birthright and can be reclaimed.

Sexual Healing:

Distance Tantric Energy Healing
"What is it and How does it work? Knowing that we are all energy beings sharing the same field of space and time, allows our intention to be manifest instantly anywhere in the world. In practice, this is accomplished once we align our personal intentions with that of the universe itself. Call it what you want, Divine Love, God, Krishna [or Christ]... we are all a part of the matrix of creation and have access to this infinite power that endows all life. As my intention is for your highest good and greatest healing, I have gained access to new dimensions of seeing and feeling in the higher realms. I work consciously with my spirit/angel guides who are also serving our highest good. It is my intention to help facilitate a greater connection between you and the infinite, loving source within, enabling you to regenerate your own energy and manifest total healing, health, abundance and love through the service of this infinite Source. "
