What is Sedona - A Spiritual Spa Experience? What's the history?

My vision: You will be able to create a personalized spiritual spa experience for yourself, a small group, or someone you know. Sedona in Eugene - A Spiritual Spa Experience offers the opportunity to create a one-time healing experience, or even your own mini-retreat. Depending on how you schedule your chosen services and other healing practitioners you may arrange with, you can extend your healing and nurturing experience over a few to several days, or even weeks or months. Offerings include heart-opening and healing experiences that can deepen relaxation, encourage a happier and freer life, release emotional and energy blocks, and enliven and ignite your passion for working on meaningful life dreams.

​My sincere intention is that I (or a member of my trusted team) will personally research (and, if possible, visit) the healing practitioners included on this site, to create a resource for finding uniquely skilled, alternative healing providers, and information on creating your own healing and/or spiritual retreat. My vision and hope is that Eugene residents or visitors to the area will be able to arrange a personalized healing experience with me and/or a member of my team, and coordinate with a variety of practitioners to create their own healing and retreat experience ​locally (in Eugene), and in Sedona. ​

A little history:
​
First of all I live in Eugene, Oregon which is located about an hour from the Pacific Ocean and one hour from the mountains. It's the home of the University of Oregon Ducks, brings many visitors for the lively annual Oregon Country Fair, has lots of trees, has a laid back feel, and joins the ranks as one of the Tie-Dye Capitals of the West Coast. As for the Sedona Arizona connection, I love it there. I enjoy the hiking, crystal shops, energetic vortexes, the spiritual retreat offerings, and the mellow and enlightened vibe. In January 2014, I had a hypothetical discussion about what I'd do if I ever moved to Sedona, even for a few years. The words that came out of my mouth were what laid the foundation of Sedona In Eugene - A Spiritual Spa Experience. I answered that I'd offer a series of retreats, start a counseling and coaching business, and explore different expressions of healing (vibrational sound and energy healing, spiritual coaching, personal growth retreats and workshops, etc).

I don't know if I'll ever really move to Sedona, but I started thinking about what was truly stopping me from living my "Sedona Dream." Did I need to win the lottery? Did I need to have some sort of new and improved "enlightened experience?" What was stopping me? Soon I embarked on bringing some of that Sedona energy to my home town of Eugene. I began with starting a private coaching and counseling practice, offering small personal growth retreats in my home, and started studying some alternative healing modalities that had caught my interest, such as vibrational sound healing, and shamanism. The offerings you see here and on my other websites are part of my earlier vision. I eventually traveled to Peru and learned more about energy healing, and also about myself in the process, which gave me a firmer vision and more self-confidence to move forward with my Sedona Dream. Although, the timing wasn't quite right. Life provided more opportunities including starting and growing a neurofeedback business, getting trained and certified in Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy, working on another book, and managing a full counseling-coaching practice. However, the dream never ceased and now it feels like it's the time...

I share my story in hopes of inspiring others like me, who have thought they needed to have all the elements right to try something new and inspirational. Sometimes you just have to put one step in front of the other and try. So in 2017, after the dream continued to call me, I started Sedona in Eugene - A Spiritual Spa Experience. Currently, my main offerings are energy healing, spiritual coaching, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy, counseling, and spiritual-focused mindfulness training using specialized neurofeedback technology. More to come...
