About Jay
My journey began in 2004 when I took part in two Healing Touch workshops to learn how to deal with post-surgery healing and chemical sensitivity. It was during this training that I experienced a spiritual awakening. This transformative experience, I later learned, is referred to as a ‘spiritual emergency’ in the psychotherapy world. It disrupted my mental world and I found myself more sensitive to the energy around me and the energy needs of those surrounding me. In time, I began not only sensing the energy of people and objects but also developed my ability to enhance the energy flow with various tools. I have always had a knack for helping others and a passion for natural, alternative treatments. My grandmother was a well-known spiritual healer and I grew up hearing about her magical stories. Upon discovering my own inclination towards energy healing, I spent years researching various natural healing practices – from shamanism and somatic psychotherapy to medical qigong and everything in between. Throughout this time, I also began delving deeper into my own psyche and emotional health, identifying unhealthy patterns and working through them with a deep and personal inquiry process. In 2010, I had a crystal-clear vision about creating my own organic garden for flower essences. Combining my knowledge of natural healing practices, innate sensitivity and years of healing experiences, I created my very own six distinct aromatic flower essences that later lay the foundations of the Integrative Flower Essence Dialogue. For the past 15 years, I have helped people with energy-related issues and assisted them in resolving mental-emotional challenges and finding ways to deal with physical ailments. I created Blue Jay Center to share my experience with as many people as possible and make their journey to self-discovery and wholeness simple, fulfilling and life-enhancing. I pride myself on building relationships with each and every one of my clients. In fact, nothing brings me greater satisfaction than seeing the looks of happiness and relief on their faces. Some of them, like Alicia, a high school instructor who couldn’t tolerate vegetables, only needed a two-hour session to get rid of their troubles. Others I’ve been helping for years, observing the positive change in their mentality and behavior as it unraveled before my eyes. All of these experiences, and many more, have shown me the beauty of helping people heal and overcome their limitations, and that is why I offer my services to this very day. I believe together we can rise above the challenges of everyday life and bloom to reach our full potential. |
The Ice Cream Story
(Picture above, my "Big Sista" helped me overcome the fear of our overly-excited dog. )
Staying true to myself has always been a huge part of who I am. Once, as a kindergartner, I refused to eat ice cream just to keep my word! My father and I used to go to his bowling practice every Saturday afternoon, like clockwork. One Saturday morning, my father jokingly said I only wanted to go because I would get ice cream afterward. To me, ice cream was just a small part of the experience – what I loved was the long open space where I could play with other kids, the nice cool air of the bowling alley and the feeling of my hands brushing against the long white lacy curtains. |
