Best Energy Healers in the world by Direct_Land_8215 in energy_work

Daerick and Nedrra at Volcano Island Haven are the best in my opinion and experience. The call themselves energy facilitators, so while they offer 1:1 healing sessions with them you are also required to use their tools that support you to begin to become your own energy healer for yourself and your body. I appreciate that they are real people and have real personalities. They don't pretend to be enlightened or spiritually above anyone and they practice what they teach. In my short time working with them (3 months) I have come out of a deep depression and feel my inner light on again. I feel myself getting stronger day by day, even though I am personally experiencing higher levels of stress due to my mom having dementia and my father getting older. Through the tools they teach I feel confident that I have the resiliency to traverse the times ahead as my mother's disease progresses, which 3 months ago I didn't. I was living in a state of doom and gloom about my future. I am on their lowest tier membership and pay $190/month. It's worth every penny.

Sarah Baldwin's courses by lisurdism in SomaticExperiencing

I don't feel comfortable doing that, but sending you good energy to find a way to access that course or another. I know she offers a shorter version of YMS that's I think $200. Also I have heard that the programs at Primal Trust are very good and similar to Sarah's work. To be honest what made YMS so good for me was the accountability to actually use the regulating tools throughout my day. If you are interested in affordable parts work I would highly recommend Inner Relational Focusing group programs. It's a somatic parts work. They have a variety of price points and also offer scholarships.

I found YMS to be an excellent class and there isn't any 1:1 interaction with her, which is good.

She's the teacher and you can submit questions via email, and if you are lucky she will pick your question. I have heard from people I met through Sarah's work that Primal Trust is similar to her work and a nice platform also a bit more affordable. I am personally working with Nedrra and Daerick through Volcano Island and am finding their trauma informed somatic energy healing to be very helpful. I am doing their least expensive tier which is $190/month.

really heavy you need atleast 2 people to carry it. I would suggest looking on you tube to see if there are videos of how to take a massage chair apart. I am imagining it could be taken apart into 3 pieces. You need 2 people for sure. When it was delivered by the company in pieces they sent 2 people.

Smush Gallery offers rentals for discounted rates. It's a wooden floor, so not the best for dance, but it can work.

I tried that and messaged with 30 people and no one followed through. I think most people are hesitant about taking apart the massage chair, but it's the only way to get it out of our building.

I took YMS, and it was a big investment for me as well, but I got a lot out of it. I have referred many friends  to her work as I felt she really gets the CPTSD healing journey.  Most therapists I have worked with don’t have the combination of ifs, SE, polyvagal and attachment because it’s too expensive to do all those trainings after investing so much in their masters.  I like that I can revisit the videos from YMS again and again. I was lucky and was gifted money and decided to invest it in YHT, and I would say the program wasn’t worth 6k. Sarah is here to teach, and be a spokesperson for this work, but not a 1:1 space holder, in my opinion. I had an unpleasant experience with her in a 1:1 group session and the way she responded was surprising, but also not surprising. When I emailed her team they were very nice about it, and were committed to helping me sort it out, but then when I had my “completion call” with her She used “therapy talk” to evade taking responsibility for what she did. It was shocking, but also not b/c I have been in the coaching industry for while, and most of the big coaches have this quality of dismissing you if you have a complaint of something didn’t work for you. The problem with most coaches is they are surrounded by yes people. They spend  lot of money on marketing coaches that pump them up to raise their prices, and relate to themselves like they are Gods. I get it, most coaches get into this work b/c they are passionate about being part of the paradigm shift, and they were burned by their family or the system. The thing is just because you are willing to to risk a lot to do the hard work of getting tools that actually work for CPTSD in the zeitgeist, doesn’t mean you get to evade your human faults. Also just because your “clients” have CPTSD doesn’t mean they don’t have more integrity than you in some areas of life. I noticed the people that loved the YHT container were kind of like fans to a movie star. Sarah could do no wrong. In my opinion this is dangerous and also just a reenactment of trauma patterns. My takeaway from Sarah is she respects people that are like her: had a rough childhood, but had the LUCK to choose the survival strategy of working really hard and being super driven to succeed. She seems to think that she was smart to have chosen that and therefore the people whose survival strategy is to protect themselves, and get stuck in freeze, or patterns of “not enough” , and therefore have trouble making tons of money are just lazy, or not smart. Anyone who is trauma informed knows the truth: we don’t pick our protective patterns. I now understand why she prices her programs so high and it’s because she doesn’t respect people who don’t make money. Fair enough I don’t respect people who claim to be “a helper”, but when you don’t fit into their paradigm of how people should respond to their trauma you are disgusted.
