Embark on an insightful journey with our guest, Teresa, a dragon channel healer and a veteran RN, as she unveils the delicate dance of energy healing and finding equilibrium in life. Teresa articulates how the quest for perfection can hinder our innate problem-solving skills and the cruciality of sifting through our emotional baggage to identify what truly belongs to us. Through a captivating narrative, she guides us to embrace life's natural rhythms and deploy energy healing as a tool for reclaiming our lost clarity and vitality.

Transitioning from the hustle of healthcare to the tranquility of energy work, Teresa shares her profound shift from nursing to embracing her true calling as a healer. Her story serves as a beacon for those feeling misaligned with their purpose, illuminating the path to self-discovery through mentorship and reflection. She stresses the significance of rest and integration in personal growth, offering a fresh perspective on overcoming professional exhaustion and aligning actions with innermost desires.

As we venture further, Teresa uncovers the transformative impact of energy healing retreats and the pivotal role of client participation. She challenges us to seek healing proactively, rather than at a juncture of desperation, to experience the lighter side of energy work. Moreover, she champions the art of establishing boundaries for conserving our energy and fostering deeper connections. By honoring our limits and those of others, we create more authentic support systems and welcome a life infused with meaning and serenity.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

Speaker 2:

Hi, kayla, thanks for having me. I'm super excited to be here.

Speaker 1:

And as the first question that I ask everyone what is your definition of a balanced life?

Speaker 2:

Well, there's no true balance. I feel like a balanced life is going with the ebbs and flows. So know that there's the hills and the valleys. Know that you know, every time you hit an obstacle, that there's always going to be a solution. It may not be the easiest solution, but there always is going to be not just one, but several, and really trusting that, no matter what decision that you make, it is always going to be the right one.

Speaker 1:

I love that. That is something that I actually tell my clients often is there is no right and wrong choice. Whatever choice you make is the choice that you were supposed to make, because a lot of us, I think, get so caught up in what if I make the wrong decision, or what if I don't go down the path that I'm supposed to go down. But the truth of it is, whatever choice you make, that's the choice you were supposed to make.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, and I think that is a belief that more of us are embracing, because we've realized, you know, that imperfection is a part of life. We've realized that perfection, this ideal that we've lived by for so many years, is unrealistic. And I think oftentimes we know it's unrealistic, but it's just this path conditioning that has stuck with us, you know. And yeah, and all these unconscious, subconscious beliefs and thoughts and the reflexes that we have every day, it just becomes so normal that we don't realize what it has been doing in a negative way, things that have not served us.

Speaker 1:

And because when we what I've seen is when we're so focused on trying to make the right decision or being so nervous of choosing the wrong one, it completely blocks out our creativity to see the different paths, the different solutions, like you said, that are right in front of us. Because when we come out, like you said, when we come up to obstacles, there's always a solution. But if we're not open to whatever that solution is, all the possibilities, it makes it so much harder to move forward.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it also reminds me of like this phrase that I hear all the time and things that I also share with my clients and the people who in my audience is. You know, your job is the what, knowing what you want, the how is. You know, you give it to God, you give it to the universe, you give to your higher power, you give to yourself whoever that is you know. And so back to your point is that when you stay open to the solutions or the answers or the opportunities that you're waiting for, it'll be something at a left field, because now your energy is receptive to be able to receive something different, something you know, something that you normally maybe would not normally have selected or chosen or thought of or been inspired by.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so tell me, tell us more about what it is that you do for someone who hasn't heard of what energy healing is or what that entails. Can you expand more on that?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we all have an energy field, or an auric field is the same thing, and you can think of it as this energy bubble and we're at the center of it, and there's a lot of different layers within this auric field. But to make it very simple, basically your energy field holds your experiences, so your stress, your joy, your frustration, your happiness, your grief, your suffering. All of that. And because we are around people all the time, whether it's virtually or physically, our energy fields are meshing with others, and so I always like to use the example of the grocery store. You go in after work, you're kind of already stressed because you've been in meetings every day and remember you're mixing up your energy with everybody's energy. So now you're feeling their stress, you're feeling their worries, you know all the things that weigh on us every day and this is all the. You know the high emotions and the low emotions, all the span of the emotions, and you go to the grocery store you don't know anybody, but you're passing by them and again your energy then gets mashed. You know it's like this and you don't know what you're picking up. So people come to me oftentimes when they're just completely exhausted physically, mentally, emotionally and they don't know what's theirs anymore, meaning they don't know what their beliefs are, their ideas that are so confused. And I think that we can all agree that when we feel stress, that is energy. It's not like stress is an orange that wants someone stuck into your shoulders. It's energy, energy that you took on. So why wouldn't it make sense then to be able to remove that stress through energy? And that's basically what I do. I use the energy. They call it life force energy, whether it's through the earth, through nature, through archangels, through source, through the universe, through God. I'm just trying to throw out all these different ways that people can relate to energy and use that energy to help remove the things that are keeping people from living their best life.

Speaker 2:

And we're all healers. When you give someone a hug, it is very healing, especially when it comes from the place of love, right Like. You feel it and you feel it in your body. So we all have to acknowledge that that is real. And when we speak our words, especially when it comes from a place of compassion and empathy and you receive it, you again feel it in your body and in a soul healing. And you know those people who are natural healers cause. You naturally gravitate to them, unintentionally dumping your worries onto them. It's because they are this safe space, they are this light. You're like literally magnetize them because you know that they offer you this type of relief, this type of solaceous type of healing. So that's kind of like the simple way of sharing with you what I do.

Speaker 1:

That is so funny because it answers my question that I had for myself earlier. In January I took a day where I just did whatever I wanted, just to just celebrate myself. My birthday is at the beginning of January and so but my actual birthday landed on a day where my kids were gonna be home from school. So I wanted to be able to have peace with myself on a different day where I could do whatever I wanted, and I had set up an appointment to get my nails done and I was excited to go and relax.

Speaker 1:

Well, the woman who was doing my nails spoke the entire time, just spilled her life story to me and I didn't say a word. I just was like where do I go? I've never been here before. She pointed me the direction and that was really the extent of our meeting and I came home and I told my husband I was like what is it about me that people just wanna spill their life story, that they don't even know who I am? And it's funny because that your response just answered that question that people can just feel that energy in other healers. They can kind of tell.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they can tell, and how did you get into this specific field of healing? I know that you've been a nurse for over 20 years so. I know that may have been the initial start. It may have not. What came first, the nursing healing or this energy healing?

Speaker 2:

The nursing healing. For sure, it was my desire to help people. During my nursing interview, because I had to go through an interview to get into this particular school, they had asked me why do you want to be a nurse? And I was 18 and I just had this vision of like and I said this to her. I said, well, I want to change the world, but I didn't know really what that meant. It was just like this idealized vision and I was like young and energized and naive.

Speaker 2:

And then I became a nurse and I realized, holy crap, this is not what I thought it was. Yes, you are helping people heal in so many ways, but there's also other responsibilities and other interactions that you have with providers and other nurses and other healthcare workers and families. And it really burnt me out, actually. And I burnt me out, I think, because I was such a giver. I just always wanted to give more and give more and give more and do my best. And also, that whole expectation of being perfect was a big thing, one because if I made a mistake, I could lose my license. So there was that. So I had to be very careful and I would come home so high strung, reviewing every single step that I did. I give this medication oh my God, did I give to the right person? Even Did I forget? Did I forget to do a step? Did I forget the dressing change, like all these things? But I also realized that being a nurse helped me to understand what it meant to be a healer, because it wasn't just putting the medicine in the medicine cup. You are that person that a patient sees every single day. The doctor comes in and he checks on the patient, but the nurse, he is there 24, seven. She is there building the relationship, she is there building the trust. She is there encouraging, giving tough love, everything that a patient needs to empower themselves to get better. Even if it hurts, even if they don't want to do it, even if they're tired, we're there to empower them to heal their bodies, heal their minds, heal their souls. And, um Again, eventually I just got burnt out.

Speaker 2:

I didn't know what else to do because I knew I wanted to help people. And I went a slightly different direction, into something called nursing informatics, and it got me into healthcare, but in the corporate setting. And while I was in that corporate setting, something within me was like this is not what I meant to do and at that time I also had like a side hustle and I was trying to build that. It was like just another business. I was trying to build it while I was working full time. I was stuck. I didn't know how to grow it anymore. I had gotten to this point where I couldn't get past a certain number and tried everything like hired marketing coaches, mindset coaches, strategy coaches, and I did those things but I still couldn't get past it. So I'm like it must be some sort of energy thing and I was really new to that.

Speaker 2:

I had no idea what it was. I've heard about it and I thought why not explore? This is kind of like my last ditch resort and I went to a Halloween party and it just so happened that well, I already knew this guy was going to be there, but he was a medium so mediums are people who speak to people who have passed on and I thought, oh, I could get answers here. It'll be fun and spooky, I could get answers here. So I went in with the mindset of I'm going to get answers on how to up level in my business and the complete opposite happened. He gave me nothing, nothing that I could apply to my business. Instead, he told me all this woo stuff about being a healer and how I was going to do this work. And I don't have to go and run and study or go learn from different mentors or coaches Like this ability to do it is just going to come naturally. So I left the reading very disappointed because I didn't get the outcome that I wanted, the answers that I wanted. So then I'm like, okay, well, I know it's still energy, I'm going to hire another mentor. So basically, long story short, through years of seeking mentorship from spiritual healers, I've gotten to this point today where I've stepped into my own purpose, my own knowing my own unique blueprint of me as a healer, as a human, as a soul.

Speaker 2:

But it started because I knew there was this calling to do something else. I knew that where I was wasn't where I wanted to be and I had to explore. And it wasn't an instant thing. I had to explore. And there was a lot of resting. There was a lot of like, okay, here's a really powerful experience that I had, but then I had to pull back and just rest for like a year, for example, and then I went back. I went back and explored more and then it was too much. Then I had to pull back. But all that pulling back is what I like to call integration. It's you stepping back to understand what it is that you need to learn from this particular event or epiphany or experience. Because we have these big experiences, but then we need time to figure out what we're going to take from it and then also take the action to get towards the outcome and the desires and the life that we want.

Speaker 1:

And, I think, relating that to burnout specifically. I think a lot of times people are like I just need to keep doing, doing, doing so that I can reach this next goal, or I can do this thing for my family, and they keep doing, doing, doing. But with all the doing, there's no pause and reflection, and that pause and reflection is so important to make sure you're learning the things that you're needing to take from these experiences and to figure out if this is the right direction for you.

Speaker 2:

And self reflection and self awareness is so important. I don't think people understand the importance of that. And that happens when you give yourself that rest right, because when you are more self aware you catch those patterns so much faster and then you're like wait a second, did I just say that? Or you might say why did I do that? Or you might say man, I do that a lot, things that we don't usually do, things that we usually just plow through without even thinking about right.

Speaker 1:

And I'm really glad you brought that up, because there was this quote quote slash question that I saw on your website and I really wanted to bring it up and this is the perfect place. But the question is, when was the last time you truly felt connected to your inner self, confident in who you are and why you are here? That is such an impactful, powerful question for us to be asking ourselves.

Speaker 2:

And I think that overwhelms people because they feel like purpose my purpose is a bail thing. But what you don't realize is your purpose changes all the time. So maybe your purpose for now was being a stay at home mom or a career, a working mother, raising children at the same time, and for a phase, that was true. But now your purpose is evolving. It's not that it's not true, it's just that it's evolving. There's more and there's always going to be more and more, but in a good way. The more should not make you feel overwhelmed. The more should make you feel curious and excited and expansive and like on the edge of your seat, like oh, I can't wait, I know something good is coming, like that is the type of more and experience that you should have when you think about purpose.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and tying that back to what you said in the beginning, where, instead of looking at the how, just releasing the how and looking at the what, what would that look like to live out this purpose and leaving the how to universe God source, whatever you want to call that means to you?

Speaker 2:

Yes, and staying open to trying different things, even if you don't think you'll like it, because we judge so much right, Like.

Speaker 2:

I said I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that, but did you even try it? You have to try it. You know, like I'm trying to think of something that I didn't like pickleball I'll use a recent one. I'm not. I am not a sporty person. I work out, you know. I go to the gym, but I'm not like athletic that high and the high hand coordination doesn't work. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So my husband was like, okay, let's try playing pickleball. And I was like, no, I'm not going to play sports with you. But he got me to practice in the house, you know. So we put the car couch in the middle of the house or in the room and we started, you know, a volleying back and forth. And I was like, oh, this isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Well, the pedals are really big and two of the balls are really big, so and he was making it so that I, it would be easy for me to be able to hit the ball back and forth.

Speaker 2:

My point is, my point is you know, you don't know if you're going to like something or really resonate with it, unless you at least try it. Yes, absolutely yeah. So when you're thinking about purpose, when you're thinking about the solutions or whatever it is the thing that you're trying to get, to try all sorts of things so that, man, you'd be so surprised as to what you, the type of answers that you'll receive, the feelings that you're going to feel when you connect to that experience or answer that you would never have thought of or wanted to do.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, and I think that also speaks to staying open to the possibility of things happening in ways you couldn't have even imagined. Yes, absolutely, because that speaks to the importance of just letting go of the how, because if we're focused on one specific way of meeting a goal or attaining whatever it is that we're wanting to attain, it blocks you from seeing the other possibilities. Yes, so letting go of the how opens your creativity and possibility.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I also I think people don't see the importance of creativity because it's not something that has been prioritized. Creativity is for kids. Visualization is for kids. I don't know how to do that, I don't need that's a waste of time but creativity is what creates joy. It's like creativity is like the new things that creates, like the little sparks, the butterflies in your stomach, the you know, the racing heart because you're like getting so excited about something. It's like. It's like it's the way our body creates the feel good hormones is through creativity.

Speaker 2:

And so if you're somebody who's more logical thinking not that logical minds aren't creative, because my husband's a logical brain and he's super creative but if you're someone who, like needs data and evidence for everything, like, I challenge you to like allow yourself to be open to doing something completely opposite of what you would do. If you're in that place where you're wanting to explore, you know what's next for you. If you're in that place where you're feeling stuck, something else is calling, you're not currently happening your life. You feel like something's missing, the creativity part, whatever that is, and it doesn't even have to be artsy. Yeah, it's just something outside of your normal routine comfort zone, what you know it can bring so many gifts.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely, and I had actually read a study recently I think it was in psychology today that was talking about different forms of stress relief and for people who are really analytical and spend a lot of their time maybe looking at data or doing something that's not very creative, something that's going to be a stress relief for them is created outlets. That's going to be a natural way of resting for them, versus someone who is, who works in a more creative field, where they're having to use that side of their brain all of the time in that creativity mode. Something more mundane and ritualistic, like maybe folding laundry that's going to be give them more rest or relaxation.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it reminds me of actually who I was in the past, because I'm super analytical I still am, I overanalyze all the time but also, having been a nurse, everything is evidence based. Everything that we do has to have data behind it, and so for a long time, that was me, the logical mind. I really pushed away creativity because it was just all fufu to me, but then realized, like that it brings so much more depth and so much more meaning to my life and the things that I do. This gift of creativity which we all have.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm. And what led you to really accept this energy healing as something that is real and is needed For someone who, like you said you mentioned you were just so evidence-based, focused. Coming from the medical field. There are many medical professionals who will look at this energy healing, or anything that seems woo, as not real.

Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm. So it was through my experiences of being the recipient of energy healing that made me the believer. But I couldn't receive it unless I was absolutely open and ready to surrender to it. So when someone comes into a healing session, if they are coming as a skeptic and already like thinking of all the ways that this isn't going to work, it's not going to work because they're bringing in the energy of resistance. And when you're blocking the energy that I'm trying to bring into your body to help you release so that you can have more clarity, for example, I can't like nothing happens. I can't get through to you because you won't allow me to.

Speaker 2:

And that's really important too is that with energy healing you have 100% control. I don't get to like force myself into your energy field and do whatever I want. I must have your permission because it really is your healing. You know I'm just sort of like this conduit, kind of like a therapist, an energy therapist. You know the client is the one that does all the aha. You know they have the aha moments right and they then have to leave it and do the work afterwards.

Speaker 2:

And so it's similar to energy healing, where I guide you or I guide the energy or I help to. You know, I help you to get into a space where you feel safe enough to be able to release, and then your body does the rest. I'm just sort of like moving the energies around so that your body can maybe bring up something to the surface to let you know, hey, this still needs to be healed. Or it might give you like the idea that you're searching for. It might even give you messages from your past loved ones or the spirits or energy that you work with, like people I shouldn't say always, but many people always receive messages during these sessions because they have just completely allowed themselves to be open in surrender and no expectations. You know they're not trying to disprove me. They're not trying to, like you know, gather evidence to see this is right or wrong. So it really is. You know, staying open to the experience to be able to receive that experience.

Speaker 1:

Okay, can you tell us more about how you deliver those things? Yes, I know I had seen on your website that, so we're recording this in January. So the this next week after we're recording January 25, I believe, was your next retreat. Can you tell us more about what those look like?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so it's hard to put into words the types of things that people experience, because this isn't your girls weekend or your average yoga retreat and I don't mean that in a bad way or in a negative way just that the yoga retreats I know of are more relaxation, which is great, but the types of retreats I hold are life transformative. Within a weekend. People are leaving feeling completely different than the person that walked through that door. They're leaving with clarity, with freedom, with peace, with direction, with this newfound purpose, with just this burst of energy and desire to like be in the world again, you know, participate in the world again.

Speaker 2:

And these are a lot of high achievers. You know their moms, their business owners, their stay at home moms that run the show for everybody, their executives I mean, they're all people who have a lot on their plate and do a lot for other people. And they're just at this point where they're like this isn't working for me. I've tried the meds, I've tried therapy, I've tried, you know, other retreats and so because my retreats, you know, I market them as there's, we use dragon energy and so they're like, okay, dragons, this must be real fierce. You know it's almost like a last resort because they're so desperate. Yeah, you don't have to get to that point, you know, but oftentimes that's the way people approach energy healing is it's a last resort?

Speaker 1:

Yes, and when you were describing you that you have to be open, that's actually what came to my mind is I bet a lot of these people are like I'm just willing to try anything. They're at that point where they're like I just need help and I I've tried everything else and I saw this energy thing and I'm like, well, fuck it, let me just try it.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that's exactly that's exactly how people come to be and I'm like why I say this at every retreat? At the end, I'm like, please, don't wait till you get to this point to come to another retreat. Come when you're like okay, there's something else. I don't know what it is, because the energy that you come in with is so much lighter, so much brighter, when there's this desire for, you know, an expansion versus a desire to get rid of something. You know people come to get yeah, and so that even me saying that sounds dense and it sounds heavy because it is, it's, it's a lot.

Speaker 2:

And as a, you're a therapist, right, kayla? Yes, yeah. So as a therapist, you know people come and share their experiences, their trauma, their worries, their stress with you. But I think that also, as a therapist, you can agree that you know different levels of therapy, different types of therapy. You can only do so much. So if you recommend to a patient, you know, I think what might help in addition might be you sit in the salt bath for 20 minutes or you go get a massage because there is so much stress you're holding on to. So then they go and they sit in the bath and they get the massage and they feel better. They still, because when we massage and we sit in the bath, that is another form of healing, that is another way to release energy. So they're releasing through talking to you and now they're releasing through somebody else's touch, through, you know, getting the stress and the trauma out of the muscles and now through the skin, and then energy healing is, you know, the really deep stuff that is stuck within your body, in your organs. It's the things that you cannot put words to. There are no words to describe this energy. This is why energy healing is effective and this is why I hold the retreats, because it we work with the energy that's within your body, you learn how to work with your own energy to help yourself, to empower yourself, to sort of maintain that momentum, or learn how to clear your energy field.

Speaker 2:

I work with different spiritual beings and you know it's okay if people don't understand. You can just think of it as God or or you know source energy and I receive messages and I share that with people and you know I don't tell them like that. They have to believe what I say. This is just what I'm feeling, what I'm hearing and I just like to share with you and it doesn't have to resonate and you don't even have to do anything about it or with it. That's important for people to know, because when they go to a psychic, a medium and energy healer or any of that, sometimes you give away your power to this person, thinking that they will solve your life's problems, but then you've completely disempowered yourself. You have to really tune into what resonates with you and it might be that it doesn't resonate right now, but next year something's going to happen and then you're going to remember that message. That's happened to me so many times where it doesn't resonate right now, so I'll stay open to it. I won't completely, you know, reject it, but something will happen months or a year later and and then I'll remember that statement.

Speaker 2:

So that's what we we end up doing at the retreats is really working with your energy body, working within. You know the places where you've hidden a lot of this trauma, because that's really what it is. You know, trauma is the pain that we hold deep within our bodies and we express it. So we don't always express it through words. We do wild, safe, safe, wild things and fun things at the retreat, but it completely takes you out of your comfort zone, because I asked you to do things that you don't normally do and write regular everyday life, because that is what you need.

Speaker 2:

You need to shake things up so that you don't feel like the person who walked in. You need to shake things up to remove all that energy, to remove everything that's not yours, to remove everything that doesn't serve you, so that you can come back to the essence of who you are. You know this soul being of light. You know we were all born as like babies, right, unconditional love. Everybody freaking loves babies because they are love, and that is who we are. That is who we were born with, and through life we've had different experiences, we've taken on different beliefs, and you know that's part of life too, is to figure out what's true and what's not, and the truth will always be expansive.

Speaker 2:

The truth, what you know, will always make you feel I don't want to say happy, it's just the truth shouldn't make you feel bad about yourself. Feedback from somebody is helpful, but it makes you feel shame. If it makes you feel less than then, that's a truth that doesn't serve you. Yes, absolutely. Reflect on it. Ask yourself is this the truth? Ask yourself, where's the evidence? But it might have just been a moment in time, you know. Maybe you just made a mistake. And so people ask me too how do you differentiate between your truth and somebody else's truth, and the truth that I'm receiving from my guides or from God? And I'll always say the truth makes you feel expansive, it makes you feel open, and what's not true will make you feel constricted, heavy, dense.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I love that. They're really great visual example not even visual, just I could feel it. We're like being open and then being constricted, like I can visualize and feel that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. But you know, we don't use our bodies enough as a guide to tell us what is for our highest good and what isn't, because we're so in our mind, we're so busy. How do we even get these subtle feelings within our body to tell us that, hey, something's not quite right or, you know, maybe we need to shift directions here.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think part of that is a lot of us have been kind of programmed to not pay attention to those things, or those things are not important, or you're supposed to forget about them. Or push through right, push through the pain, push through the uncomfortableness when your body is telling you so much information, it's giving you so much information and it wants to speak to you. Your inner self, your intuition, it wants to speak to you and guide you in the path of your truth, in the path of your purpose.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. We just continue to plow through, we don't allow ourselves to acknowledge what's the pain, the stress, whatever. It's just normalized, you know. So then it becomes accepted, and it shouldn't be. We shouldn't have to accept that we live with so much stress, so much anxiety, so much anger, even, you know, resentment, like all those things that happen because we're not living the life that we desire. And I believe that we can have everything that we want, but we cannot do it all by ourselves. So right, so say no, yes. Right, say no, like set your freaking boundaries, figure out what that looks like and start practicing them and force them, ask for help, delegate. You know we have to say no to taking on new obligations Because we're gonna, no matter what we say no, yes, we're gonna feel guilty, but I feel like the more you say no to the things that you really don't want to do, you're gonna, you're gonna respect yourself for setting those boundaries rather than giving up your own freedom to please somebody else.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I love that, that's great. Say no means you're respecting yourself. You're respecting your time, your energy, whatever it is. Yeah, yeah, so the more you say no, the more you are likely respecting yourself instead of giving away that power to someone else.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and you know it just. And to those people who are receiving the no, it's not no forever. Maybe next time it'll be a yes, but it'll be a more meaningful yes versus yes. I'll just do it for you, you know. So yeah for the person receiving the no, but then for us too, you know, as mothers and as mothers who desire more, it's the yes. I feel like when I, when I am ready to say yes, then if it feels better like I'm in it, I'm all in it. There's no resentment, there's no like regret that I have said yes. So it's about really making those choices that you feel good about as well.

Speaker 1:

Yes, so much stuff came out for me when you were saying that. One was when we trust the people that we turn to support or the people that we interact with often, when we trust that they only say yes when they mean it and when they can give them full selves. It's going to be so much more powerful when we get the yes and when we get their help. And then, on the other side, I would challenge the person receiving the no to look at it, as that person probably isn't the right person to do this for you in this time and you're supposed to go ask someone else. You're supposed to receive this help somewhere else.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I love that You're. You're totally right, because there we go again right in terms of setting your expectations on that one single answer or one single person, because I think people rely on that same person over and over again as well, always be. Well, you know, they rely on moms to do so many, so much, everything. But there's other people, other people can help other people, maybe better even at it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, but there are people that are running out of time and so are there other offerings that you have besides the retreat. Say there is not a retreat coming up soon for people, or let me see how often do you do the retreats? If a retreat is not soon, can people work with you other ways outside of retreats? There we go, yes.

Speaker 2:

So my next we I try to do quarterly. If not quarterly, then I do three times a year. So there's going to be a retreats three times a year. So the next one most likely will be April, may timeframe around the Austin Texas area. And then, in terms of wanting to connect with me and it's possibly not a retreat experience I do offer private sessions, one-to-one sessions that we do virtually and it can you know it's it's energy healing, but it's it's a lot of different services, basically within that energy healing session. Yeah, and then I have online courses and mentorships that I'll be launching so that if you people are curious about how to be an energy healer or they want to, they resonate with, like the energy that I share and want to train as an energy healer working with the higher energies. They can also reach out to me for that.

Speaker 1:

Awesome. And for those of you who are questioning how does she do this virtually Like, doesn't she have to be there in person with me as a therapist? I can with. I can tell you we feel your energy. Even if it's virtually like, I still feel. When I'm working with clients, I feel what they're feeling and that's something that I note in sessions. Like, if you're working with me as your therapist, it's a collaborative and I'm going to let you know. If I'm feeling stressed during your session, I'm going to let you know, because we're mirrors to each other, and so that's really helpful information. So, yes, she can do this virtually, because I can do it virtually and I feel all of that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah yeah, energy is energy. You know energy travels whether you're face to face or, you know, through the computer, so it definitely is effective through virtual sessions as well.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, thank you so much, teresa, for joining us and giving us more education and clarification on these energy healing opportunities.

Speaker 2:

Thanks, Kayla, it's been awesome to be on here having this very engaging conversation with you.

Speaker 1:

Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. Thank you, bye, everybody.
