My Story

“The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.” 
― Marianne Williamson

Carolyn Berry, Author, Business owner, and Mentor.

My healing journey started as a massage therapist when I graduated from Pacific Coast School of Massage in San Luis Obispo, California, in 1997, specializing in therapeutic techniques including Swedish, deep tissue, lomi-lomi, and reflexology. My passion is helping people, and I'm continuing my journey to heal myself and others through Divine guidance.

My spiritual journey began in 2008 when I went on a tour to Israel with renowned author Caroline Myss. A year later, I traveled to South Africa and learned many other tools for self-healing. In 2011, I joined the Prophetic Ministry at a church, where I continued to develop my ability to hear Divine guidance and utilize God-given gifts. I continue to explore healing modalities and learn how to empower people to live healthy and spiritual lives. My studies in healing and energy work also include Reiki, Access Consciousness, Inner Engineering, Prophetic Ministry, and Intuitive Mind courses, as well as studying with various healers.

My ongoing passion has led me to deepen my understanding of God and the spiritual path through various cultures, including the South African Sangomas, who are traditional Zulu healers. I also received The Rites of the Munay-Ki from the Q'ero Inka tradition with roots in the Nation of Peru.

My Story:

When I began my own healing journey, I changed not just physically but emotionally. I grew in compassion for others, genuinely caring about their experiences and journeys. By working on someone’s body and listening to their story, I can help identify where life went off course for them. It's like solving a mystery; I keep asking questions until I find the answers, listening and connecting with God and using my prophetic gift. It's challenging to explain logically; it's a deep knowing.

I understand this is a gift from God, and I have been called to heal. God works through me, through my hands, and communicates in various ways. My massage teacher once commented that I had a great touch, great hands. Back then, I believed it was all about technique, but it took me years to realize that what I've been given is a unique gift, not possessed by everyone.

Be Open:

Not everyone who comes to me has to share my beliefs. It's perfectly fine if you don't feel comfortable discussing God; it's not necessary for me to help you. I want God to reveal Himself to you in whatever way you need to find Him. You might encounter Him through your healing or connect with Him in another way. I simply ask that you remain open. I want God to have the freedom to work through the healing process. I aim to see you healed in spirit, soul, and body, connected to your true Healer and Higher Self, enabling you to fulfill your full destiny and purpose. Life is short, and how we live it is crucial, impacting not only the present but also those we encounter. What kind of life experience do you want to create for yourself?

Finding the Root Cause:

When someone comes to me with physical issues or feeling stuck in life, I seek to identify the root of the problem and address its source. Every physical ailment has an emotional element, and that's what I search for. Spirit, soul, and body are all intricately connected and must be considered for true healing to occur.

I've learned the importance of considering all aspects of a person’s situation. Genetic and generational issues pass down through family lines, but so do physical and emotional problems. Recognizing and factoring in family dynamics and the past is essential.

However, this type of healing isn't for everyone. It's not for those seeking quick fixes or a magic pill. True healing requires delving into the root of the problem and demands participation from you. Coming to me with a sense of responsibility and a willingness to engage in "homework" will aid in your healing. You're not alone; I am here to assist.

Sometimes, you may deny a problem until you're ready to face it, and that's okay. When the time is right, you'll take action. The path to healing isn't always easy; it often requires courage and persistence. Sometimes, we must fight for it and pursue our healing. Healing takes effort and time, but it's undoubtedly worth it. I delve into these experiences and insights from my own healing journey in detail on my blog and through my book.

You're Not Alone:

If you're experiencing discomfort, emotional or physical issues, or feeling stuck, I would like the opportunity to identify what is truly going on inside you from a spiritual and emotional perspective. I don't diagnose, but I aim to uncover unresolved emotions that may be contributing to your issues. Even if we don't discuss them directly, the energy work initiates the process because your spirit knows what needs to be done. This is where we collaborate and let God work through me.

The truth is, everybody needs help in one way or another. Most people don't invest the time or effort required to achieve full health and wholeness in all aspects of life. This is where I can assist you. Whether through energy work, grounding, guided meditation, or prophetic ministry, allow me to help you reach the next level of optimum health and general well-being.

If traditional doctors and prescription medications have left you frustrated, trapped in a cycle, there is hope. If you haven't found anyone who can uncover the root of your problem, there are alternative approaches, such as energy work, that we can explore. Healing is possible, and I believe that God has the answer for you. I'd like the opportunity to ask Him to reveal it to us. Visit my website.
