My Story
Hi, I'm Key! I grew up bouncing between divorced parents with many serious obstacles, I eventually ended up living in foster care.
I used sports and fitness to keep my mind and body content and began psychedelic medicine and substance use to cope starting at 11 years old.
I joined the military at 19 and had a life-changing fall from 14ā that led me to find yoga and an interest in healing and the body.
I eventually became sober at 25 after hitting rock bottom and started a 2-year massage therapy program at one of the best schools in the world.
Becoming sober led me to feel all the pains and traumas I had been numbing and suppressing since I was a child.
My back pain was so bad, going to bed was my worst fear, every morning Iād wake up terrified. It felt like thick nails were stabbed through my back. If I tried to move, a burning jolt of unbearable pain would surge throughout my entire body resulting in loud screams, tears, and wanting to end my life every morning.
I then found my life purpose at an Ayahuasca ceremony 6 months into my massage program. I realized all of my traumas growing up, my near-death experience, and my usage of drugs led me to become a healer.
I dedicated my life to helping make this world a better place through healing after I found my current life's purpose.
After massage school, I went on to get and diplomas in holistic nutrition and Chinese medicine during a 5 year stint of study in Toronto while maintaining a private healing practice.
During this time of study, the pain got worse before it got better, and I got costochondritis on top of the debilitating back pain. I couldn't do anything physical so I just read books.
I eventually learned how to fully heal myself after spending thousands on practitioners, trying all the diets trying and everything else I could think of for years.
Along the way I found incredible friends and mentors along the way who helped me heal, grow and develop unique skills to help others do the same.
Today I've had people fly 1000ās of miles to receive my ceremonies, I've been flown to 3 different contenents to receive my service.
I am here today because I chose to take the calling, since then I've been helping people heal from mental, emotional, physical and spiritual challenges.
Everyday is a gift and i'm grateful to have the opportunity to connect with you!
With Love and Gratitude
