My Story
Following a near-death experience at the age of 6, I developed a sixth sense about the world and the healing process. Several years ago, while working in the sacred environment of hospice and end-of-life care, I received my calling to practice energy medicine - a bridge between body, mind and Spirit enabling the innate healing process to occur.
With nine of my 40 years as a registered nurse spent serving as a nursing officer in the Canadian Air Force, I have also worked in oncology, hospice, ER, OR, medicine/surgery, long term care, physical rehab, labour and delivery, rheumatology and research. I've taught nursing for several years in both Canada and the U.S., trained Canadian Forces medical staff, nurses and paramedics, and counselled troubled teens and children as young as 12. I have attended the Native Cultural Awareness Course through the Canadian Forces, studied Indigenous Studies through the University of Alberta and Buddhist scriptures through Harvard University. As a clinical hypnotherapist specializing in a transpersonal approach to body/mind/spiritual healing, I have developed a unique system which I have found to be highly successful in helping others to reclaim health, peace and happiness. By combining 40+ years of a strong clinical nursing background with the subjective wisdom gained through training in several transpersonal modalities, I have expanded my practice to offer my clients a profound healing experience at the quantum level of consciousness, which Dr. Deepak Chopra describes as healing one mode of consciousness (the mind), to bring about changes in another mode of consciousness (the body). I approach spiritual healing without the 'woo woo' by grounding it into a practical, insightful way of viewing health and healing.
While studying in Ottawa under a healer who worked with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, I learned that the mind is capable of so much more than we give it credit for. Also, as a hospice nurse assisting individuals to transition between life and physical death, I discovered that we find out so much about living from those who are dying. Their messages confirm that we are much more in control of our health and well-being than we realize and that your body has the wisdom and the power to heal itself. Many wonderful, caring healthcare providers choose to put their complete faith in modern (allopathic/Western) medicine; however, this paradigm of disease is based largely upon the eradication of symptoms that are simply attempting to tell us that something is wrong and we continue to shoot the messenger through the indiscriminate use of medications and surgery. I believe that modern medicine is clearly effective for infectious disease and emergencies, however it often misses the mark in the treatment of many chronic physical, emotional and mental diseases and illnesses.
Sadly, today's healthcare providers often lose sight of the importance of the patient's belief system in determining recovery from illness. The patient is conditioned to place emphasis on the disease process rather than on the healing process. Those who search for help through 'talk therapy' or traditional hypnosis often report that they typically miss the mark in researching the deeper, critical layers of the mind-body connection. The system I've developed is transformative as the client experiences changes by addressing the client's existential struggles and personal suffering. Clients from across Canada, the U.S., the Caribbean, Europe, South America and Asia have come to One Spirit Integrative Medicine to receive the benefit of this tried and true system. I continue to receive referrals from physicians, therapists, psychologists, counsellors, social workers, chiropractors, dentists, clergy and many satisfied clients. For the client who is unable to undertake their own healing session for some reason, a surrogate session through another individual can be a successful alternative.
For evidence of the reality of the mind-body connection, I believe you will find the following videos to be very insightful:
• Dr. Bruce Lipton, cell biologist, describes how thoughts, emotions and beliefs lead us toward health or toward disease - video
• Gregg Braden presents a video showing a bladder tumor dissolving through the power of the mind and prayer
• With only hours left to live, Anita Moorjani survives physical death to tell her fascinating, inspirational story - video

Maintaining membership with the International Medical and Dental Hypnosis Association, Canadian Federation of Clinical Hypnosis and the International Association of Reiki Professionals, I am keenly aware of the unnecessary suffering that exists. I have been blessed to offer contributions to award-winning Quirk magazine (One Spirit - quirkmagazine.net). Over the years, I have had the honor of being presented in public service films representing the Canadian Forces, Pikes Peak Hospice and Palliative Care (Colorado Springs), Lethbridge College (Alberta), and the Saskatchewan Department of Education - all serving to strengthen my desire to be of service to others. In August, 2020 I became a published author through Wake Up: Miracles of Healing from Around the World (on Amazon).
