True Healing

True healing is a process of growth and transformation that happens on all levels; physical, conscious, unconscious and spiritual. These four aspects are interconnected such that they are impossible to separate.

In private sessions with Oceana the stage is set for profound change. The change can be quick and is often long lasting because it happens outside of the auspices of the conscious mind. Her work is multi-dimensional and often removes stubborn patterns and symptoms that have been illusive. It is therapeutic, but not therapy.

Oceana is a highly skilled practitioner who works with these interconnections in the healing process. She has healed herself of multiple chemical sensitivity and severe allergies and brings with her the wisdom learned in her own on-going healing process. She has been in private practice since 1992 and has trained with traditional healers, clinical psychologists, an immunologist and various shamanic practitioners.
