He shattered the clay vases and proclaimed we were all ‘broken.’ That day, during the sermon of Eastern 2016, it became clear to me. I heard the Spirit. I was not broken; nobody in that room was broken. I have been created perfect! The pastor was proclaiming the same distorted thinking than my physician training evoked: the false illusion that there is something wrong with us that needs fixing. I was called to restore people’s connection to the perfection that already resides within them and to each other.
The word ‘restore’ kept coming to mind when thinking about a name for this vision of a different wellness model. I looked up the Latin word for “restore” and received back a long list of possibilities. As a scroll down the list, the word Integro immediately call my attention. It summarizes so much about my journey and my vision. In Spanish and English, integro is the root for words that mean a moral standard, bringing things together and connect them into one and a mathematical term for whole numbers. An integer is a whole number, a number that is not a fraction…. not broken. One word that represents the same in the two languages that I speak; that has a moral and philosophical meaning; and that speaks to the universal language of math (I know…I am a geek!)
So here it is Integro. A system of health that aims to remind you of your wholeness; to provide a variety of tools, supported by cutting edge science, with integrity, passion and love; and to honor the journey and remind you that you are not alone but connected. A model of care that helps bring your body, mind and spirit into balance to allow for the expression of the best of you…. the perfect you.
Be empowered to remember your wholeness and restore your perfection.

I am not a healer!
While at first this may seem like a contradiction, please allow me to explain. To me, the word “heal” means to return a broken something to the way it was before it was broken. This implies that we are going backward in a process, rather then forward. That something damaged is being repaired.
For instance, when you break a bone and you want it to heal, you want it to go back the way it was before it was impacted by trauma. To fix it.
In contrast, I look at what I do as facilitating forward movement and expansion, helping clients to remember their wholeness and restore perfection. In this process, we are not going back to the way it was 'before everything got messed up', or to the familiar comfort of yesterday and what we have always known.
I see all people as inherently perfect beings moving forward in the growing process of being human. And so, I am not a healer, and I do not advocate going backwards.
I am a facilitator of a process, your process. A process of remembering a natural state that, when reached and sustained, allows a person to live from a place of inner balance; and to integrate all that they have experienced as part of their own magnificence.
And so, when I play the Shuniya Tibetan bowls over and around a client's body, it is not to fix them, but to remind their system of its native tuning, which is perfect.
When I facilitate Holographic Memory Resolution, it is not to rewind the tape and take the client back to how they were before the trauma, but rather to help their system remember how to process emotions and release memories from storage in the body, thus restoring the perfect order that is natural to the system.
We live in this resilient yet fragile human vessel, and like an egg, it can crack. But, we are not supposed to 'heal' the egg; it has cracked so that the hatchling may be released and expand into a new way of being. Are you ready to break free?
