My Sound Healing Journey
This chickadee was part of a communication from my son on the 2nd anniversary of his passing.
My Story - the path to Sound Healing
Fundamentally my path to sound healing was guided by many experiences - both my own and my loved ones. But the key inspiration was my youngest son, Kyle, who was born with significant physical limitations. His diagnosis was Cerebral Palsy at birth. There were many factors that contributed to the multiple physical limitations on him from the moment he was born. Kyle was blind, had seizures everyday, and had no physical ability to care for himself. Yet, he was not without abilities in the emotional and spiritual gifts, which I am continuing to understand more and more over time.
Access to resources was very limited within the health care system when Kyle was growing up and the only solutions that were ‘allowed’ were drugs and surgery for the various challenges he faced. I was always looking for ways to assist him (as well as for my oldest son and myself) that didn’t cause so much pain and side effects. Even things to help us deal with the trauma and stresses we faced didn’t seem to be available. Sound healing didn’t come into my life experience until Kyle was about 26 years old, 2 years before he passed. At that stage, after years of impacts from seizure control drugs, the tube feeding terrible diet and the cerebral palsy - all that I could do was use it to help him be more comfortable in his body.
But… as a result of our experience I was very motivated to be part of creating more avenues and options for people to be able to follow their own guidance and inner knowing for their health. And I continue to be inspired to be part of creating options in our system to help myself and others live a more naturally healthy life, as well as integrate life experiences rather than holding onto ‘trauma’ because we don’t have the tools to process or integrate the experience, and come to balance and coherence within. We all have experiences - and we also all need ways that work for us to process and integrate, enabling us to function fully in our life, relationships and purpose here.
My Sound Healing journey began in January 2012 and continues to expand and develop still. It has been a great resource for me and many others I have had the privilege to witness.
As a business owner I keep reminding myself why I do this work - to be part of creating awareness of tools that support us in our life so that more people can benefit, and to be part of making our health care system more expanded and inclusive of all options, giving everyone choices where they can follow their own intuitive guidance on what they need at any given moment.
It is rewarding to see it begin to shift more and more - yet, still challenging as there continues to be skepticism. Sound and vibration have been used all through time as we know it - this is not new, not new age. I have been witness to a significant shift since I started in 2012, and so I continue. In memory of my son, who passed 9 years ago today - I continue.
In the progression of my journey, I completed a PhD as a Dr. of Natural Medicine in 2019.
My life is not perfect, I have challenges as much as anyone and have faced as many difficult experiences, but I appreciate the increasing abundance of options I now have to address challenges - whether minor daily issues / events or traumas from my own life or generational ones. There are so many resourceful people stepping into their gifts, and creating tools and systems - whether it is sound healing, breath work, reiki, cranial sacral, mediumship, etc. etc. to support us on our evolutionary path.
Thank you for listening - this is just a tiny glimpse into my journey and the influences in my life for the work I do. Blessings to you on your journey as you follow your intuition, your path.
