• is a form of support in which individuals facing similar challenges help each other. It involves one-on-one or group discussions where peers offer empathy, encouragement, and advice to address personal, social, or emotional issues. Unlike traditional therapy, a peer counselor can often relate to the experiences of the person seeking help, bringing a unique perspective to the conversation. This shared understanding makes it easier for individuals to open up and feel understood. The trusting and non-judgmental environment created in peer counseling is a key reason why it is so effective in supporting personal growth and healing.

Awakening Support

• Throughout my life, I’ve been a seeker, endlessly curious about the unknown. I’ve spent years exploring the mysteries of the Earth and delving into various “conspiracy” theories—some of which were enlightening and expansive, others unsettling, and some ultimately led nowhere. Through all this exploration and the lessons life has taught me, I’ve gained valuable wisdom and developed the ability to discern what resonates with me and what doesn’t.
• At times, this journey has felt incredibly lonely, as I didn’t always have someone to share my discoveries with. I do not want anyone to feel the way that I felt, therefore, I’m here to offer a safe space for you to discuss anything on your mind and to share the insights I’ve gathered that might help guide you on your own path.

Native American-Style Cleansing and Clearing

• Through my extensive training with a Zuni Medicine Man, I have learned the traditional Native ways of cleansing and clearing energy. Throughout our lives, we can be influenced by negative energies, whether from our environment, disembodied spirits, or harmful forces. These energies can unknowingly be invited into our homes, surroundings, or even attach themselves to locations where negativity has occurred.
• It’s crucial to clear these energies from your space and energy field, as they can have a profound and detrimental impact on your life. This practice helps restore balance, remove unwanted influences, and create a harmonious environment for personal growth and well-being.
