I was about to have a hysterectomy. I was choosing this. I had lived a life of pain, since I was about 12 years old. My periods and my hormones were so out of control that I was ready. This was my last option for health and stability — I thought.

My doctor made me wait 6 months to schedule it because I was so young and I didn’t have children, but I could handle it since I had been feeling like this for almost 20 years, six months was definitely doable.

As I was watching late night TV on a local Atlanta station I saw an energy healer who could balance your body with just energy. How was that possible? All I knew was that I had a different kind of hope, hope of a life not on hormone replacement therapy.

I finally went in to see her and from the minute I stepped out of her house I was different. I was balanced, happy and calm. Everyone noticed. What I also noticed was that I started to remember phenomena from childhood when I would have these experiences of energy that nobody understood back then. And now it all started to make sense.
