LGBTQIA+ OWNED, ASIAN-OWNED AND WOMAN-OWNED
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. My name is Desiree. I have always been highly attuned to my empathy, developing hypersensitivity and hyper vigilance growing up. My life has led me to various depths of human suffering thus far, later discovering a passion in energy medicine and offering nurturing support for healing and transformation.
People are usually drawn to my ability to hold space and intuitively connect while they share their unique stories and deepest values.​​
I work with individuals who...
... feel very different than the people around them (the outcast, black sheep...)
... feel at home with the stars
... are highly attuned to their empathy
... experience hypersensitivity and hyperviligance
... are curious about energy medicine, nature, spirituality
... want to heal and feel empowered, and are willing to do the deep work
... seek to understand and manage their spiritual gifts and abilities
​
My guidance alone isn't meant to create change in people. It is a co-creative experience that requires an openness and willingness to change along with dedication to the healing and transformation journey.
I believe that healing does not have to be done only through the depths of sorrow, turmoil, rage and despair. It can also be achieved by expressions of love, wonder, joy and laughter.
As we release layers of pain and fear, we start to cultivate a stronger sense of self, and uncover the true power and purpose of our existence. Let's get started.

as i healed from many of my health conditions and experienced life-changing transformations, i started to develop a passion to help others do the same.
MY STORY
MY EMPATHIC NATURE
As a child, I was highly attuned to the energy within and around me. I sensed things in such deep ways that allowed me to see the world in all its complexities. However, I struggled to manage and express what I was feeling, as I lacked the guidance to fully process my experiences. Over time, I became increasingly hesitant to let anyone in as I felt unsafe quite often. I am highly aware of energetic shifts, misalignments and discord. I understood what was 'acceptable or unacceptable' through energy before words and actions. Since my behavior was often misunderstood and unsupported, I learned to deny my true self and abilities, and instead, please others in order to avoid feeling rejected and outcasted. However, I have always housed a warrior spirit with a rebel heart deep within, which manifested later in life.
FAMILY SYSTEM​​
My family’s values were rooted in survival, intellect, and financial success. I was pushed to meet high academic standards, which influenced my drive for greater knowledge and success. I was taught to "fall in line", a lesson that kept me out of trouble and helped me understand the systems that had already been in place. Though, I came to realize that I was lacking the emotional support and freedom to express myself more authentically and creatively. I felt a deep calling to rebel and exist outside of the ordinary, moving beyond the limitations that have already been placed on me. I desired to nurture and be nurtured, seeking deep connection and intimacy. I desired to explore deeper knowledge and truths that most people did not care about or were afraid to face. And so, eventually, I did which challenged the system tremendously.
​​
RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC
In relationships, I sensed the light in people which allowed me to keep my heart open and see beyond the surface. It fueled my ability to maintain compassion and inner hope. Though, I severely lacked boundaries. I excused a lot of harmful behaviors. I was always there to help people feel safe, yet often felt unsafe, used and taken for granted. I faced bullying, emotionally unavailable partners and one-sided friendships. Though, it taught me to acknowledge my true self and worth, express my needs unapologetically, set boundaries and become assertive.
​​
SEXUAL ABUSE, SEXUALITY, RELIGION & HEALTH
During my childhood, I experienced neglect and sexual abuse. As a teenager, I developed high levels of anxiety with occasional panic attacks and depression with suicidal ideations. I also left the Catholic church and redefined my faith and sexuality as I became more fluid. In my 20s, my physical health gradually declined as I experienced digestive, thyroid, skin and many other undiagnosed conditions along with chronic stress and fatigue. This has lead me to develop a more loving, nurturing and intimate relationship with my body.​
​
SELF-EXPLORATION & PURPOSE
After experiencing years of ineffective healing methods and distrust in the approaches of Western medicine, I decided to take charge of my own healing. I started exploring nutrition, physical science and Eastern philosophy. At 28 years old, I experienced a incredibly painful traumatic event that sparked my initial spiritual awakening, reconnecting with my gifts & abilities, and journeying into the practice of energy medicine.
As I healed from many of my conditions and experienced life-changing transformations, I felt a deep calling to help others do the same.
