About Light and Love

As my father would say its a 'long' story...

I am doing this because we are meant to be happy, and helping others makes me happy. We are all growing, though we are at different levels--the gifts I'm sharing are inate in all of us-all of our potentialities are. I want this to be a For-Profit, when you look at the definition of the word it means to progress - to move forward. This I wish for myself, my friends and family and like the words in the song 'todo es mi familia' I consider everyone family.

I have experienced the darkness that comes with depression and negative thought patterns towards oneself. Choosing to change I saw the light — the light at the end of the tunnel...which is our own.

I have a Social Services Worker diploma from Humber College and a B.A. in Information Technology Management from Ryerson.

Over the last 19 years I have helped facilitate group-work therapy sessions with S.W.I.F.T. (Strenght to Walk in Freedom Together) support groups-and have helped start up 4 of the 5 locations we currently have running. I'm very proud of Maurice Bloch the director and the work we do in the groups. It is an amazing process that helps you empower yourself, while learning from helping empowering others. I see it as a template that all support groups should follow-offering the warm-fuzzies/support but most importantly the reality checks given by digging into the roots of our issues and encouraging a swift kick to move on. If I have my way I'd like to see it run as circle support groups around the world from an early age so people use it for maintenance instead of waiting till their older and more set in their minds when personal issues become more dramatic.

I've been inspired to help bring my listening skills and ability to help challenge others to grow on an individual level. Most recently I've begun the journey of reconnecting myself with the self of my youth-that used to provide healings to others in the form of praying in tongues (back when I was affiliated with theRoman Catholic Churchand a branch of it called the Charasmatics). I have since discovered that this type of energy/healing work are the principles behind Quantum Touch, and Reiki which I am also a certified Reiki Master--the real healing is done by you, I only act as a catalyst to help you activate your own ability to heal yourself...of course with love

Influences of mine have been from my Catholic upbringing teaching me the message of love and compassion, helping and healing others, and assisting them in finding peace within from the perspective of a 'Christ consciousness' which we all possess. Taoism-which has enlightened me in finding acceptance of an essence behind everything that we can tap into without forcing things. Budhism which has taught me a methodology of living through the eightfold-path. Recently I have been introduced to Kundalini Yoga-which is a powerful form of yoga which helps unite our energies physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I look forward to working together with you~much love in La'Kesh
