Healing

Healing is the process of restoring balance, harmony, and wholeness to the body, mind, and spirit. It is not simply the relief of symptoms, but the deeper work of addressing root causes, nurturing resilience, and reconnecting with both self and the divine.

When working with the intention of healing, the goal is to:

• Channel restorative, positive energy
• Remove blockages that disrupt well-being
• Strengthen resilience and vitality
• Foster emotional balance and spiritual growth
