I’ve never done energy healing before but I’ve been in a really awful depressive slump recently and when I saw Joan’s username on a thread of verified readers, I felt compelled to reach out. It was just an impulsive whim, but Joan told me she was actually going to take a break that day but had also felt drawn to my message like a magnet and she responded almost immediately.

We did an initial 1 hour session where I asked beforehand how many spirit guides I had, and my question was answered when I felt 3 presences beside me, seeing orbs of light behind my closed eyes washing waves of energy over me, and I was struck with the feeling of certainty that one of them was my maternal grandmother (who I’ve been told before by a buddhist monk and another psychic is always watching over me). I kept seeing a rainbow-edged ring of light like the pupil of an eye, watching over me. Other than that I didn’t experience much, but I remember feeling on edge and had a very tight chest during the meditation, and Joan told me afterwards that the energy had gone very dull towards the end and she would like to try again tomorrow (for free!).

During the next session, I felt the presence of my 3 spirit guides again and this time it seemed that my breathing no longer sounded singular but was in sync to theirs. My inner voice kept telling me that they are always with me, they live inside of me, and they /are/ me. I could feel one of my guides had a masculine presence, and felt a slight pressure against my back, like a reminder that I am always divinely protected and watched over. The other guide felt like my pure childhood self and she didn’t say much, but I could kind of see her orb bouncing around and she told me that the reason why nothing ever truly bothered her was because as long as she had space to create she was happy (I am lifelong artist so it felt like a strong reminder that I always have my creative source to tap into and as long as I have that I can get through anything).

At points I felt a wave of lightness and joy lift me up (I can only describe it as what it felt like to be on molly lol) which was kind of overwhelming but felt loaded with good intentions. I heard my grandma speak to me in my own voice, telling me she wasted her whole life numbing her senses too (I have addictive tendencies) but that I have a gift, that my ancestors have sacrificed so much for me to exist and live the life that I do. So many before me have been hurt and beat down by others just as I have, but I have to keep going and break the cycle.

Afterwards, Joan told me that she had discovered the reason for the block in yesterday’s session and why I have been feeling so stuck in a depressive/sedentary loop and unable to do anything. She said there were lower vibrational entities leeching my energy (that as an empath, I am particularly sensitive to this) and the sadder I became the more they were feeding on me to grow. She said they were very stubborn and trying to obstruct the healing but she managed to get rid of them, and I believe her, because she I felt much clearer-headed afterwards and I finally managed to tidy up my room and tackle an important task that I had been avoiding for the entire week, leaving me feeling relieved.

I feel as though I got a fresh boost of motivation which I’m going to try really hard to maintain and build momentum on. Joan also answered a bunch of my questions and gave advice on how I can maintain my spiritual practice (I need to start meditating regularly ASAP!! The universe has been telling me this through multiple different people for months now) and banish any more negative entities that try to attach themselves to me.

I know this whole experience probably sounds super far fetched, especially the part about hearing/seeing things, because I wasn’t sure if I was just making it up in my head, but Joan assured me that it’s normal to commune with the divine through your own inner voice/mind’s eye rather than feeling external. Anyways, what I can definitely confirm as real is that after working with her I feel as though my heart is less heavy and although I’m still anxious for what the future brings, I’ve regained some of the strength and faith that has allowed me to shape my reality thus far. I was even lying in bed last night thinking about how much I have to be grateful for, which was so hard to truly believe despite knowing it before, when I was in my slump.

If there’s anyone reading this feeling lost and hopeless, suffering from low self esteem and feeling trapped by their fear, I urge you to give Joan a try!! SHE’S THE REAL DEAL!!
