I did not seek to become a 'healer', but rather the Healer came to me...

​

About 25 years ago, I started having strange experiences where I would rest my hand on my wife's leg while she slept and I meditated. I began to feel rushes of energy flow through my body and then my wife's body would shutter at the same time. At first, I thought it was either a strange coincidence or that I was going crazy. But the occurrences kept happening over and over again and eventually, I started to open up to the idea that something outside of my understanding was going on. 

That set me on a path to understand what it was that was happening, and over time I started to ask myself if I could possibly become a co-creator in the process by purposefully recreating the conditions inside of me that allowed this phenomenon to happen. As I progressed on this path, I slowly started to accept the idea that I might be channeling Light, even though I didn’t  fully understand what that meant. 

​

These experiences began to open my mind to things like mysticism and energy fields, which led me to an energy healing training course in 1999 where I learned how to feel energy fields, chakras, and auras. My understanding of humans, our existence, our well-being, and our potential was completely transformed. I began practicing a form of energy healing on people, mostly my family and some friends. All the while, I kept working on getting to know and understand what was happening inside of me when the rushes of energy would come. 

​

A few years later, I was in a creepy old stone house in upstate NY late at night and was doing my practice and I suddenly became aware of a dark energy hovering above me. I was scared and confused but I felt guided by another force, and allowed myself, like so many times before in the comfort of my bed, to channel Light towards the dark energy. I felt and saw the Light meet the darkness, and then the darkness was transformed into Light and released. It was an overpowering and scary experience but it was also transformative and I knew something special had occurred. When I went back into the house the next day, I could tell something had shifted and the house didn’t have that creepy feeling anymore. 

Within a few months, this same exact thing happened in other houses and I began to think that perhaps part of my purpose was to help release these dark energies from the Earth, so I set out to make myself available for others who were experiencing strange phenomena in their homes. 

​

I put up a one page website and the first person that asked me to clear their home was thousands of miles away from where I was living. At first I felt silly for not thinking that people from far away might reach out, but then I remembered that I had learned in the energy healing course that I could feel a person’s energy in another room. So, I asked the person for a photo of their home, printed it out, and got myself into the space where the channeling happens. I connected to the energy of the home, felt the dark energy, and channeled a clearing. The next day, the person emailed me and thanked me for the work, saying the house felt so much better she couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it either. Again, I was overwhelmed by it all - and afraid - but also felt called to know and do more. 

​

Not long after that, I realized that dark energy came in all kinds of forms and qualities, and that like a house, each of us accumulates and stores dark and unneeded energy throughout our lives. And so it was then that I was shown I could combine these different elements to not only clear, align, and attune peoples energy fields and chakras, but also help them to release and clear the dark energy that they were storing, whether it be in a person, a home, or a property. And that it could be done remotely if needed.

​

This is how my mission to bring Light into the world started, and I formed The Hopelight Healing Mission as a nonprofit in 2012 to hold this work in a sacred and inspired container. 

​

And through this path I have learned that in fact, “I” am not a healer, but rather someone that has been asked to get out of the way and channel the Light to help people and places heal, and to help bring peace to whomever is ready.
