In college, I wanted to participate in a program called Semester at Sea. I would have spent 4 months on a ship, traveling around the world, learning about the global community. I was drawn to the opportunity to do something good for my soul, something exciting and different. But, I couldn't do it. My parents, who, like most filipino parents, had already sacrificed so much to give me access to an education. The idea of asking them for more money to invest in something that would simply "fuel my soul" sounded selfish.
So, I let go of my dream of traveling the world.
In 2016, I explored the idea of hosting creative classes with kids. I had been a stay at home mom for 2 years, and I was volunteering at both of my children's schools. A year later, the idea of hosting creative classes morphed into a more specific dream to launch a mobile art studio bus for kids. I made a list of all the barriers to launching, and overcame them one by one, until there wasn't anything left to overcome. No additional knowledge to consume. The next step was to simply go for it. Purchase a bus and renovate it. I had the money, and knew which renovation company I wanted work with, but I couldn't do it. I was paralyzed by fear. And I couldn't talk myself out of that paralysis.
So, I put aside my dream of being a creative entrepreneur.
This was when I started to wake up. I realized something deeper was at play. Something that my conscious mind couldn't control. There weren't any tangible reasons left to prevent me from pursuing my dreams, but why couldn't I do it? This was when I started to explore the subconscious mind. I knew that if I wanted change, I had to figure out how the subconscious worked. I needed to know if and how I could reprogram it to help me to become the person I longed to be.
After a year-long journey of exploring healing modalities, I found the Emotion Code. It’s based on the premise that emotional energy can get trapped in our body when we don’t fully process our emotions. Through the Emotion Code, I was able to release the trapped emotion of unworthiness, which I felt was the real reason I gave up my dream of traveling the world. I released trapped emotions of discouragement, anxiousness, and insecurity that I believe had blocked me from starting my mobile art studio.
Beneath these emotions was a confidence that was inside me all along. And then I knew:
I'm meant to share this gift with you to help you on YOUR healing journey.
Since then, I’ve added the Akashic Records, Theta Healing and Human Design to my Energy Coaching toolkit to continue serving you on your path back to the truth of who you are.
I believe I was called to this work by a greater power. I wasn't seeking to be an energy healing practitioner, but I leaned into an inner knowing that was given to me that this was what I was meant to do, at least in this moment.
