SOUL MISSION: to remind YOU that YOU are your own healer.

We don't just "tell" you this so that you can know it. We guide you in remembering HOW to heal yourself by dropping into your body and FEELING. The more you FEEL, the more you HEAL.

While there are many plant medicine guides to choose from...

We LIVE what we PREACH.

How do you know that we are the right fit for you and your healing journey?

After spending a lifetime studying the human body and a relentless pursuit in healing our own pain from unhealed traumas, childhood wounds, societal programming, fears, injuries, divorce, etc, we've come to remember how to heal ourselves.

NO - ONE AND NOTHING CAN HEAL YOU... BUT YOU!

We are so dedicated to our healing journey that we commit between 3 - 5 hours every single day to our self-healing practice.

HEALING ISN'T A HOBBY...IT'S OUR

PRIORITY.

We both had been on our own healing journey before meeting one another, and after 9 years of healing together, we realized something...

TRIGGERS KEPT SHOWING UP!

No matter what we did (meditation, yoga, breathwork, subconscious reprogramming, etc.), NOTHING WORKED FOR US!

Until we combined plant medicine with somatic exercises that bring you into your body to feel what you need to heal.

Plant medicine opened the door to accessing the root causes of these triggers and awakening our inner healer so that we could heal them.

BEFORE READING OUR INDIVIDUAL STORIES, KNOW THIS:

WE AREN'T HEALERS OR SHAMANS.

We can't heal you... only YOU can heal you.

We are sacred guides who assist you in navigating your body during medicine ceremonies so that you can remember how to heal yourself.

Unfortunately, most people have no idea how to navigate the medicine space, let alone their body while in medicine.

That's where we come in.

We can guide you there because WE have been there ourselves.

It's time to reclaim your power from healers, shamans and gurus and remember the one andonly healer - the one within you!

MEET DR. SHELLY

I spent 14 years as a chiropractor and sexual trauma coach, and I sold my chiropractic practice to dedicate my life to serving plant medicine.


As a chiropractor, I focused on removing the interference in the nervous system so that life force energy (your inner healer) could flow freely and the body could heal itself.


As a sexual trauma coach, I focused on helping women heal their sexual traumas stored in the subconscious mind so that sexual energy (your inner healer) could awaken and flow into their body's higher energy centers.


In all ancient cultures, life force energy and sexual energy are one and the same. It is the energy that created our body and keeps our body alive.


All along I was on a path of remembering how to heal ourselves by liberating our life force energy.

BUT I GOT BURNT OUT SO MANY TIMES...

In both of my careers, I witnessed patients receiving short-lived results. The same pain and the same patterns (toxic thoughts, traumas, wounds, shame, fear etc.) kept showing up over and over again. I knew there had to be something else possible.


I also experienced this in my own healing journey. I spent 15 years & thousands of dollars doing it all - YET I still struggled with insecurities that would manifest over and over as different "problems" in different areas of my life and no matter what I did, nothing worked. I felt stuck and helpless. I was looking externally for someone or something to help me remember what was buried in my body all along.


I was about to give it all up when...

Plant medicine found me!

Plant medicine didn't heal me though... it merely revealed me to me. And it did this by bringing me into my body and feeling the stored pain - the root causes of all my unresolved issues.

Let's go on a quick journey through my life...

  • My birth was a traumatic c-section.
  • At 6 months of age, I spent 72 hours screaming bloody murder as my body was bright red and inflamed from a post-vaccine reaction.
  • At 12, I had dislocated my knee and opted out of the surgical solution for chiropractic, which inspired me to become a chiropractor.
  • At 16, I lived with the intense pain of kidney stones for an entire month while nephrologists were misdiagnosing me.
  • At 19, I began to compete in fitness competitions which wreaked havoc with my hormones and led to PCOS and fibroids.
  • At 22, I experienced the worst cystic acne that anyone could experience.

Most importantly, I witnessed a lawsuit completely destroy my father's life and parent's marriage.


All of these experiences were stored in my body as pain and were the root causes of my repetitive triggers in my life and relationship - the not enoughness, fear of speaking my truth, poverty consciousness, victimhood, you name it, I had experienced it. No amount of talk therapy, chiropractic, subconscious reprogramming, Emotion Code, hypnosis, meditation, yoga, or a Tony Robbins Seminar could help me heal this either.


What really propelled me in remembering how to heal myself was my determination to heal a chronic SI-joint restriction. After thousands of adjustments and the same restriction, I knew it was much deeper than what chiropractic could address. In healing myself, I birthed a self-healing approach called BODY - MIND SYNCHRONIZATION along with ancient purification practices for women called WOMB KRIYAS.

MEET KUMAR

I grew up in a hammock while my family tended to the sugar cane farms. Due to the tough labor, everyone in my family had major back pain so I became a self-taught masseur to take care of them until I was old enough to become a certified massage therapist.


Between training in martial arts, working out in the gym, playing racket sports, traveling 40 weeks out of the year and sleeping on airplanes and in hotels, I met pain quite intimately. I experienced 3 car accidents where each vehicle was a total write-off, and the final one was nearly fatal. Yet, I survived... with a spine that looked like a jigsaw puzzle.


I attended weekly chiropractic visits for a few years and then continued with acupuncture for a few more just to get back to normal, yet the pain was still there.

In 2010, I started intense training to compete in a National Men’s Physique competition which increased the pain in my body. The more I trained, the more pain I was in. I was back to seeing chiropractors twice a week, and still competed and placed in the top 5 anyway. Then I married a chiropractor - and no matter how often she adjusted me, I was still in pain. The final straw was when I had to have surgery on both shoulders due to the formation of bone spurs.


I had been practicing yoga, meditation and breathwork for many years to find peace in my body, which helped some, but my pain was always there. Nothing I did ever lasted for more than a day or 2. I thought pain was just something that I had to live with for the rest of my life, knowing that the older I became, the more my body would hurt.


I tried several years of talk therapy which only addressed my mind, but not my body. All the spiritual books I read spoke about a pain body, but I didn’t connect the dots that the pain body the books spoke about was my fascia and that all unhealed traumas (physical, mental, emotional, sexual and energetic) were stored in my body.


I had always been drawn to non-traditional healing modalities and became a certified coach, master toe reader, and yoga teacher. What I realized is that no matter how much coaching I provided, the results were always the same. Left unattended, people returned right back to where they started with the same problems, pains and traumas. I knew there had to be a different way of helping them.


Once I started down the path of my own healing journey, my wife encouraged me to explore plant medicine as an option. I took her advice, and I'm glad I did because I began to recognize the layers upon layers of unresolved issues in my body, psyche and sexuality. The more I peeled back, the more layers there were. I was able to get out of my logical brain of trying to figure it out or heal it mentally.


Between all of my years as a bodyworker, yoga teacher, breathwork practitioner, and athlete and having a chiropractor for a wife, we have tapped into a very unique process of healing the pain body, reducing the traumatic pathways stored in the fascia which are relayed to the brain via the nervous system. We are continuing to unravel layers upon layers of pain... but I know this for sure:

I LOVE THE RESULTS I AM SEEING AND FEELING.

We are firm believers of this...

YOU CAN'T HEAL PAIN FROM THE SAME STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN WHICH IT WAS CREATED.

Hence, the power of plant medicine.

Plant medicine enhances awareness of your body, expands your consciousness and opens the door to your subconscious and unconscious minds... inviting you to rewire the neural networks of pain and fear by healing the stored pain and fear in your body and mind.

We help you remember how to HEAL you and return home to DIVINE UNION!
