METHOD
The Empowered Heart® method provides a systematic approach to help people recognize and heal from emotional pain, distress, and suffering.
By utilizing the concepts and tools within this approach, we learn to confront our pain rather than avoid it, allowing for deeper understanding and a longterm healing.
Instead of avoiding the pain, we confront it to gain understanding and ultimately transcend it. The primary intention of this journey is to guide us back to our true essence—the radiant core and sacred purity that resides within us. The cycle and map originate (and conclude) with the Heart. This involves addressing the painful Wounds and events from our lives, along with the inherited lineage of Pain, Need, Protection, and Defense that we have learned to endure in order to navigate the discomfort stemming from those initial traumas. Over time, this can lead us into a sustained experience of Suffering.
When we gain a complete understanding of the events that led us to our struggles and suffering, we can shift our perspective through Realization—I am ready to move past struggling and suffering in life— and actively work towards healing.
By Observing our wounds and allowing ourselves to Feel the deeper emotions that lie beneath the surface of our ego and defenses, we can gain a clearer insight into the origins of our pain and what we need to heal. Gaining this understanding enables us to disrupt the cycle of suffering by intentionally confronting our wounds rather than avoiding them, healing our pain, and consistently taking steps to fulfill our needs. Often, what we truly require is Connection, Release, Comfort, and Love.
The final destination? Empowerment. The sacred, confident and divine Love that you first embodied when you were born, yet invigorated and strengthened by the wisdom, presence and confidence you have gained through courageously understanding your pain and healing it.

TESTIMONIALS
HEALING
means being with ourselves.
It means leaning in and courageously listening, feeling, and understanding ourselves, even when it’s not comfortable.
Especially when we have been through painful experiences of trauma––to consciously face towards our discomfort, rather than avoiding it––is how we grow. It’s how we heal. It’s how we gradually understand that we are not weak or broken.
We are powerful and deserving beings capable of thriving and being a part of the greater healing this World needs.
