Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. My name is Desiree.
I specialize in helping individuals who...
... feel incredibly different than the rest (the outcast or black sheep)
... experience life in depth (hightened awareness)
... are highly sensitive and deeply attuned to their empathy
... developed hyperviligance growing up
... are curious about energy medicine, nature, spirituality, the universe
... open to learning and dedicated to their personal growth
... seek to understand and manage their empathic gifts and abilities
I experience the world with a heightened awareness and sensitivity, and did not receive the proper guidance and support growing up, which has led to many hardships in life. Yet, despite encountering so much darkness, I have always sensed the light in everyone and everything; hence, the name The Eye of Light (to me, it means sensing beyond limiting constructs or perceiving with greater, expansive awareness).
People are usually drawn to my ability to hold space and intuitively connect while they share their unique stories and deepest values.
My support is intuitively guided, sensing energetic cues while creating a nurturing evironment for people to feel a sense of safety, esp. in their most vulnerable moments. My guidance alone isn't meant to create change. It is a co-creative experience that requires the person on the other end to have an openness and willingness to change as they being called to deeply transform.
I believe that healing does not have to be done only through the depths of sorrow, turmoil, anger, rage, and despair. It can also be achieved through expressions of love, wonder, joy, laughter, and play.
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.
If you would like to learn about my story, continue reading below. It may help to receive guidance from someone we can relate to, especially those who have or had similar values, patterns, and hardships in life.
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 energy, aware of even the slightest energetic shift, especially misalignments and discord. I was highly observant, quiet, and reserved. I understood what was acceptable and not through my empathy. I struggled to express myself because pleasing people became my priority. I also developed a tendency to save, fix and over-sacrifice my needs as another form of survival. Engaging in social situation and being in environments that had a lot of activity was overwhelming and overstimulating so I retracted a lot. Since my behavior was often misunderstood and unsupported, I learned to mask my true self and deny my abilities to avoid feeling rejected. That is, until my late 20s when I started my healing journey. Since then, I have been learning to unmask, embrace my path + sensitivity, cultivate inner safety, and empower my voice.
FAMILY SYSTEM
My family’s values were rooted in survival, intellect, and financial success. I was pushed to meet high academic and social standards. I was taught to "fall in line", a lesson that kept me out of trouble and helped me understand the structures that were already in place. Though, I came to realize that I was lacking emotional support and freedom to express myself authentically and creatively. I felt a deep calling to rebel and exist outside of the ordinary. I desired to explore deeper knowledge and truths that most people did not care about or were afraid to face. I seeked unconditional love, deep connection, and intimacy. So, I ventured off on my own and started developing deeper love and connection within, breaking intergenerational trauma cycles and expanding into greater awareness.
RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC
In relationships, I sensed the light in people which allowed me to keep an open heart and see beyond their unhealthy behaviors. It fueled my ability to remain compassionate; though, I severely lacked boundaries and excused a lot of mistreatment. I was always there to help people feel safe, yet often felt unsafe, used and taken for granted. I faced bullying, emotionally unavailable parents and partners, and one-sided friendships. Though, it taught me crucial lessons of self-love, acknowledging my inherent worth, expressing my true needs unapologetically, and establishing strong boundaries.
SEXUAL ABUSE, SEXUALITY, RELIGION & HEALTH
During my childhood, I experienced emotional neglect and sexual abuse. As a teenager, I developed high levels of anxiety with occasional panic attacks as well as depression with suicidal ideations. I also left the Catholic church and redefined my faith, especially because my sexuality was not accepted. In my 20s, my physical health gradually declined as I experienced digestive, thyroid, skin, and undiagnosed conditions along with chronic stress and fatigue. This led me to rebuild a more loving, nurturing, nourishing, and intimate relationship with myself and my body.
SELF-EXPLORATION & PURPOSE
After experiencing years of ineffective healing methods and distrust in the approach 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. Since then, I have been reconnecting with my gifts & abilities, and developing a passion in energy medicine, psychic mediumship, divination, the esoteric, and mysticism.
As I healed from many of my conditions and experienced life-changing transformations, I felt a deep calling to help others do the same.
