Sarah Van Dyk

Sarah knows what you are going through in the tough journey of chronic illness and disability, she really does. At the end of her undergrad — a time that for many is a great transition — Sarah's world was turned upside down. One day she was walking and the oddest sensation of numbness, tingling, out-of-body floating, and generally feeling unwell came over her. This began the frustrating, fierce, and unending journey of determining her chronic illnesses, ending her Masters in Neurology prematurely and dashing her dreams of going to medical school.

The bouncing between doctors' appointments, the chaos of the beginning of the search, the invasion of your body for multiple procedures and tests, the agony of waiting for results, and the loneliness of being unwell — Sarah has been through it all. There are moments when it is hard to separate the illness and your sense of self; this took Sarah many years to sort out and find ways of learning to love herself again.

Relief has come in many forms and not just from Western medicine. Once most of the Western medicine procedures had been tried, Sarah moved towards more holistic healing — changing her diet, working with supplements, and finally turning to energy healing. She had never heard about it and, to be honest, was very skeptical. With that skeptic attitude she went to her first energy healing session and was thoroughly surprised when it made a difference.

From starting with energetic boundaries to protect herself, to using Reiki on herself and others, and finally adding intuitive healing into her toolkit — it still surprises Sarah how much energy healing has made a difference in her life, and she would like to introduce that to you.
