“Many childhood experiences have become, of necessity deeply buried in the unconscious during the process of developing one’s adult personality. This separation or distancing from one’s childhood is no longer needed when the adult personality is fully and securely formed, but by then, the distancing has for most people become a part of that very personality.
Separation from one’s childhood is temporarily necessary, but if it is permanently maintained it deprives us of inner experiences, which when restored to us, can keep us young in spirit and also permit greater closeness to our children.” 3

Hi, I’m Cami
The creator of this website!
After years of my own physical struggles, I started recording my personal story. As I wrote, it was natural to reference the therapies that I used through my own healing process.
In a healing journey it becomes a gift to recognize that some healing modalities cost money, and some are completely free and magically drop into your lap.
If I have any advice for someone who is just starting a “healing journey”, I would say:
“Trust God. Don’t limit the power held in your untold stories. God knows you and he knows that you are unique. There are healing clues in the stories that you have never told anyone.
AND, the people that you are supposed to be working with will believe you. They will believe your story, and they will begin to help you see that you have keys to help restore your body.”
This blog was born with my own desire to figure out what was wrong with me. After I took the leap of writing down my story, I was able to find the most wonderful people that had skills to help me connect my story to my symptoms. It’s amazing finding people that have a spiritual reason for being in their profession, and their spirit is a guiding light for them.
I look for these type of “specialist” now. Those who can guide me to the unique needs that my body has.
I believe that creating the guide above, has been a gift–for free, from me, but gathering this information took years of careful combing through information, as well as sifting through my own heartaches, emotional responses.
I hope that it was of some service to you–especially recognizing that you are not alone in your healing journey! It is my greatest desire is that you will return to this website and share some of your own personal story of resolutions, that began with the experience of pain.
Pain and transformation brought me to this space. I invite you to see your pain as an invitation to your body. I believe it has the skill to heal, as you turn to your own innate goodness!
Thank you!
