My Philosophy
Wherever chi congeals, there lies a dragon.
01.
Dragons are neither good nor evil, but they do exist. In my world, dragons are the reason you have come to see me. Dragons are the pain points, childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, or countless other reasons you were drawn to seek help.
02.
Chi is our life force energy. It should be moving freely through every cell in our bodies. When it does not, issues arise. There are many reasons why chi congeals and many ways to help it flow freely again.
03.
Taming dragons requires careful assessment and skillful negotiation. You will never force a dragon to do anything it does not want to do. But miracles can happen when they feel safe and free to join the flow of life again.
Radically Transforming the Anthropocene
Life is all about transformation. And when you really stop to think about the divine nature of this world we live in, I think it's it pretty darn radical that any of it exists at all!
​
Whether science acknowleges the Anthropocene or not, humans DO have an impact on Earth's ecosystem. It is very much like how dragons have an effect on your chi. You don't have to believe in dragons to know that if you make a dragon angry, there is a real good chance they will burn everything to the ground!​​
​
So how do we avoid this disasterous outcome? We pay attention. We live a life that is in right relationship to the ecosystem we are living in. Right relationship is not a judgement. It is a careful assessment of what it will take for the ecosystem to be sustainable, productive, and life affirming.
​
Right relationship is about having the courage to look at the truth of the matter and then acting in ways that are loving rather than convenient. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
When in dought always choose love.
How Harvest of Peace is Taming Dragons
Shamanic Energy Healing
Our bodies do not end at our skin. The nervous system actually extends into what is often refered to as the aura or the electromagnetic biofield.
It is my belief that all suffering begins and ends with the biofield. Not everyone needs assistance with this level of healing, but if you have an issue that just won't resolve, let's start with the biofield.
Treatments can happen in person or over Zoom/Phone.
Massage
&
Bodywork
Taking good care of the dragons that lie beneith our skin requires much skill and dedication. I recomend that everyone receive a monthly Swedish massage to flush toxins and relax the nervous system.
But when trouble strikes (like an injury, accident, or chronic pain and inflammation) a more targeted approach may be needed.
