Healings

Desda is a gifted healer whose expertise lies outside our cultural vocabulary. There is no accounting for the refreshing sense of clarity that follows from her work. Subtle yet powerful forces are at play. For problems of an undetermined nature that require help from the Great Beyond, Desda reliably makes magic.

Harriet Beinfield, coauthor, Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine, June 2007

Having known Desda many years, I have always known of and heard of the amazing nature of her healing work. Seeing is believing. Desda has now worked with my friend for several sessions. The shift and changes I have personally withnessed in him over the several months are amazing. His own kidney's were not functioning due to diabetes. He was fortunate enough to receive a kidney transplant donated by a friend. For the last two years, he was better, but still quite marginal - frequently in the hospital with infections and colds, he had water retention, low energy and struggled with his sensitivity, life view, spiritual stability and well being. Desda's healing showered him with a deep love, acknowledgement and nurturance his system had been craving. It was very apparent in the treatments, that because of her skill and genuine nature, he could receive the benefits. Her mastery allowed her to heal first things first and with great accuracy support the necessary adjustment to his energetic bodies during each session. Her great focus helped him to get it where he needed to take charge of his health. He started treatment in February, the shifts to being stronger have been evident each month. After the 3rd session, he had so much mental and physical energy, he started a project to paint and reorganize his apartment. Having the energy to do so has given him great joy. By May, his friends were commenting he's different, that he looks strong and healthier. The difference is so remarkable, one has scheduled a healing for herself, another plans to refer a friend. I've watched a young man who's life view has transformed from one which had a quality of lack - "a glass half empty," to a voice which now has confidence even optimism. Desda recommended some accupuncture sessions to support his system. Recently after a treatment, he called to say "I feel good, strong." With his new sense of balance, energy and well being, he is like a new being, strong and measured instead of depleted. His own spiritual stability and gifts are blossoming.

I am deeply grateful to Desda and my friend for the gift of witnessing.

Without a doubt, she's the real thing! Desda has accelerated the evolution of my soul, bar none. You must suspend belief in order to fully receive the gifts of her deep work. Most of our sessions are conducted by phone, from 3,000 miles away, and yet the power of these healing sessions have never felt diminished or compromised. Having worked with countless healers, few compare or come close to Desda, and the consistent transformative breakthroughs that she facilitates. Desda's approach is grounded, compassionate, and rooted in a mastery of the human energetic system.

Desda has helped me work through major karmic wounds that constricted my life. I have seen negative beliefs, thought forms, and patterns literally dissolve over-night. Desda works on the underlying energetic structures of the soul, and thereby gets to the root of whatever issues stand in my way. Desda's healings are not passive, it's a two person job, whereby Desda teaches you to be responsible for the energy dynamics that you've created, how to release them, and develop new habits of relationship with your life.

Having worked with Desda for over five years, she has made it easier for me to step into the truth of my path and destiny. She has helped to remove obstacles of suffering and the karmic loops that we can all find ourselves stuck in. Each session with Desda is like the uncoiling of a fresh layer and the further blossoming of my human spirit.

Michael M., June 2007

I find Desda to be quite remarkable, both in her ability to focus in on the essence of a person's inner core while also transmitting the most loving and validating energy that enables one to move forward through life and believe in the process of inner healing and transformation. She was able to tune into my most basic needs and work so gently yet so powerfully with my own internal rhythms. She is very special indeed.

Fred F., June 2007

I've had many healing sessions with Desda. They have all been powerful, and I leave feeling more whole. But there is one session that stands out. As a result of that session I completely changed the way that I related to my father. I was much more accepting, understanding and appreciative of who he was and as a result became more of a man myself, in a much more profound way. It was healing that transcended time and space as it also felt like I was healing and releasing for generations of the male lineage of my family.

Martin S., June 2007

I have been working with Desda for several years. Since I started my work with her my allergies are better. My fibromyalgia is non-existant. I no longer have any symptoms of Sjogrens Syndrome. I don't even test positive on blood tests. Previously I did test positive. The symptoms of Sjogrens are dry eyes/dry mouth. I saw my opthalmologist today and he said, "Whatever you are doing keep it up."

I'm more peaceful. I have learned how to do Basic Clearings and other basic work through attending workshops with Desda. I do my energy work every morning before I even leave my bedroom. I won't leave home without it! My relationships with my ex-husband and my two grown children have been totally changed (for the better). It is almost like a miracle what does happen after working with Desda. You can go to therapy and talk about issues and then work and work and work on them. Once Desda does a healing with you the issue is GONE. It is like it never existed.

I have learned how to have a sense of peace no matter what happens. I've learned to discern when something isn't right in my body. Some of the things I can handle. Some of the other things I need to call Desda to assist me with. My life has been totally changed through my work with Desda. It has been extremely important. I can't imagine what things would be like today if I hadn't been fortunate enough to connect with her.

Jackie V., June 2007

I have had several indvidual sessions with Desda. Each one was powerful and transformative in its own way. At the first session, much to my surprise issues regarding early relationships were brought up which I had assumed were put to rest long ago. My session with Desda allowed me to view these in a new light. In fact, over the months following this session I came to an awareness and acceptance of the reality about these past relationships which I had not previously confronted. In my second session with Desda I had hoped to figure out a way to develop my career skills in talking about and promoting my work. It seemed as though there were blocks I didn't fully understand. During that session I experienced a powerful feeling of hindrances being removed and a sense of being in touch with my own inner strengths. For a long time after, I felt I could tap into an energy and power I had experienced during that session whenever I needed it, and in fact still do. Within less than a week of that session my life began to change dramatically and the changes are continuing to evolve. In another session I asked for help in dealing with physical issues. I was skeptical that a single session would help and informed Desda that I was sure we would have to work on this many times. To my pleasant surprise I have not experienced any of the problems I had been having for the past 3-4 years since that session 6 weeks ago. With each session Desda has given me an awareness of a reality at work behind our everyday activities which we can become aware of, interact with, and be nourished by.

Marjorie, M., June 2007

Undoubtedly, Desda is a gifted healer, whose body of work should be treasured and shared among many, as our new future unfolds. She is grounded and masterful. I am very grateful for the healing she has brought to my life.

Kate G., June 2007

Desda's work literally saved my life when doctors could do no more for me and I had given up all hope. My health has been completely restored and then some. I am more alive than I ever was before and I am discovering and living my life's purpose. I was unaware of how lost I was before CI came into my life. I use Desda's procedures every morning and my energetic hygiene has become as important to me as my physical hygiene.

Caitlin M., July 2007

Just thank you, that's what I wanted to say and I am so excited about my next session.  There was something you worked me through yesterday that will make it OK for me. I think when I write my book I am going to include you in it.

Oh my goodness!  I just feel this may be working.  And I realize one of the things that drives me crazy is everyone projects their stuff onto me.  Either that I'm manipulating or I'm doing this or I'm doing that, or I'm doing that.  I think that's one of the things that have been really crazy.  But I just want to let you know from the bottom of my heart, love you, love your work.  And just thanks for being so honoring with your work.  It's a pleasure to get work from you.  I think I'm changing.  I had a couple of little signs yesterday, but I don't want to say too much yet. Cheerio.

Cheryl W., April 6, 2007

Even when things seem very dark indeed Desda has an ability to understand, and a deep compassion for a fellow human who is suffering. Humour may not be the best approach for some people, but for me it is perfect, and I love the fact that Desda somehow always manages to make me smile, or even laugh out loud at the underlying absurdity of the situation - and once it has been laughed at it simply can't be as bad again.

Over the years of working with Desda I have come to trust her gentle ability to tease out an issue, helping me to bring the underlying issue up to the surface, where it can be acknowledged, worked upon and sent firmly on its way. I consider myself very priviledged that I have had access to this sort of ongoing and sensitive assistance.

Over time I have learned techniques that I have been able to take into my daily life and which I have been able to apply when things have been tough. I feel that my talks with Desda have been an important part of my recovery from a physical injury.

Desda is a cross between Santa Claus the Fairy Godmother.

Tina T., June 5, 2007

My experience with Desda is that I was with somebody real. She is able to communicate abstract and intuitive ideas and experiences clearly, not only verbally but kinesthetically as well. I'm thrilled to be entering into the next phase of learning with her, not only because it's HER, but the work incorporates so many pieces of other modalities which were taught as stand-alone, but seemed to be missing something. Her work has it all, and so does she.

Kelly P., June 25, 2007

For approximately four months I suffered from extreme sciatica to the point of being unable to sit upright for short periods of time. After the second session I was able to resume the normal sitting position and have been virtually pain free since.

Desda has opened my eyes and helped me to realize that a person needs to keep an open mind and be receptive to non-traditional practices. Prior to working with Desda, I was a skeptic for any form of healing other than the traditional medical practices. I have since been enlightened and now prefer to explore non-traditional healing processes specifically through Desda.

I am grateful to Desda for helping me cope with the sciatic nerve problem and I am thankful to my wife, Jackie, for convincing me to seek Desda's help. Next time there will be no hesitation.

Workshops

Thank you for this overall amazing experience.  It was better than any vacation I could have taken!  And the learning on so many levels was profound.

This work has profoundly touched my life and my experience of life around me.  I cannot fit into my old self any more; happily so.  I feel ready to explore this new embodied existence and am so very grateful for the teaching and the teacher who opened the doors.

I don't expect to change over night.  I do expect to have challenges and to meet them. Through this study and practice, I want to live in more awareness, appreciation and love. I want to align with my purpose for being alive at this time in history. These sacred teachings can help me to do this.

Roberta W., Sept. 28, 2006

My general feeling of my experience at 9 Levels is that it was one of the most amazing, profound and joyous experiences of my life.  Years from now these teachings will still be sinking in as my understanding of them grows.  I feel alive and honored to have been a participant in this gathering of such brilliant people.  It felt like coming home for me.

I have met the most amazing people had the most amazing experiences at Desda's workshops. I am greatful that I have the opportunity to study under the creator of this work, which has changed my life so profoundly.

Caitlin M., Sept. 2006

I have come to better understand my purpose and motivation in this lifetime, and found supportive facilitation and affirmation that I am on this path. Desda has made me more aware of the energetic anatomy of my soul, and how it interacts with the world around me. Having attended a two-day workshop with Desda, I learned powerful techniques for managing the health of my energetic fields. I have also become more empowered in using my own skills to heal and balance the energetic dynamics around me.

Michael M. June, 2007

Since taking the Core Individuation workshop (including Learning the Edge as a prerequisite), I feel more clear sighted in my interactions with others and the world. Using conscious intent in being "present" and relating from my edge I feel I am able to relate to the world more effectively with less agenda for others. This allows me to be more supportive and also less vulnerable.
