Can you describe the pivotal moment that led to your profound career shift from radiology to integrative and holistic medicine? How did this epiphany reshape your approach to healing?
While I was an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Miami, I never thought my life would change so much. However, I had an epiphany. There I was, diagnosing several patients with cancer every day, going through that life-changing experience with these amazing people and their family members, and I realized that the deep motivation that led me to study medicine in the first place was somehow unfulfilled. I saw so many people die. They will be diagnosed and go through the treatment and then come for follow-ups every 3-6 months, most of them full of fear, and sometimes you’ll find things come back on the same or the other breast, or sometimes they will never come back.
One day, I stood on my balcony overlooking the ocean and asked myself why I was feeling so unfulfilled; one of the reasons was that I was just diagnosing, and while radiology offers a very refined set of tools to diagnose and treat disease, I was ready not only to diagnose but to offer the best techniques for true healing, while taking into consideration the human being as a whole. I knew deep inside that I could offer something more; what if I could offer a way to get back to wellness or, even better, to prevent going there? What if something can be done before the disease actually shows up?
So I left, broke up with my fiancé, left the UM, left radiology, and traveled, falling deeply in love with life and, more importantly, with myself.
I became a Yoga Therapies instructor in the U.S. before I moved to France where I studied the psychological origins of disease and advanced therapy for pain relief with Scenar technology. As a skeptical scientist, I also began exploring the benefits of energy healing, becoming a Reiki master, followed by Saint Germain’s Violet Flame practitioner in France, topping it all off with Harmonyum® Biometaphysical Medicine in the USA.
My fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona was the icing on the cake. This healing-oriented medicine that approaches the energetic, emotional, and physical components of the human being, is in total alignment with my deep calling as a doctor. And the cherry on top is the QHHT, Quantum healing hypnosis therapy.
Through the use of therapies, both conventional and alternative, I’m happy to offer that which will facilitate the body’s (and mind’s) innate healing response based on good science but open to new paradigms, using natural, effective, less-invasive interventions whenever possible.
My ultimate goal is to boost the extraordinary capacities inherent to all human beings, providing healing of the mind, body, and spirit. They reconnect people to their own greatness!
What inspired you to establish DharmaGaia, and how does its mission reflect your holistic philosophy of mind, body, and spirit healing?
Well, my late husband got a very aggressive melanoma (skin cancer) and died in a matter of months…
At that moment, I questioned everything, both conventional and unconventional therapy. You see when you are in the midst of those situations, you find so many things, confusion, and who to blame. Sometimes, the ground on which you have built everything you have believed cracks wide open, and you fall into the unknown territory of: what do I do now? Who am I, and what do I want to do with my life?
I tell my people sometimes, when we hit rock bottom is when we find ourselves, but we don’t have to go there to question our preconceived ideas about everything, and that’s one of the things that Integrative Medicine brilliantly offers: it offers the best of both worlds! We can choose to go too much into one extreme, or we can deny ourselves something that can really, really work for us, but for that, we need to be open, we need to get into the operating system and do an upgrade, things change, science changes and in order to keep up, we need to be open to create new neuropathways to allow new information in, if not, the brain will keep taking the same/old route by default (more on this later)
Remember when people had no idea about the microbiome now I see very conventional doctors prescribing antibiotics and probiotics (if you don’t know what the microbiome is, please visit my page) Sooo, Dharmagaia was born in the midst of that pivotal moment, Dharma is what we have to give. It is our responsibility to contribute to the environment and to our higher self in order to improve our personal development. Dharma is part of our personal mission in life, the wheel of dharma or purpose. I reconnected to my purpose and found my dharma.
When we work on our self-empowerment, we find it easier to connect to our purpose. It has been demonstrated that people who are aligned with their purpose and do what they love become happier, healthier, and even more productive and prosperous.
When we remember our connection to our planet Gaia and become more conscious about our acts and decisions, we realize how they can have a strong impact not only on our health but also on our mood. With that awareness, we can contribute immensely. Everything, even the smallest step taken to create a positive outcome, will honor and develop our own dharma. For most people to be able to connect with themselves and love, finding the connection to the planet and whatever they can love, like an animal or nature, is the first stepping stone to achieving higher levels.
What type of services do you offer?
I’m currently doing a 90% online Integrative medicine practice, and the cornerstone of the work is to establish good communication between you and your higher self, understand what you are doing, why you are doing it, and what can be done to change it. From there upgrading your iOS and setting new patterns. This is done by the Master’s Journey online course. I also offer QHHT as another mainline for instant understanding and healing with incredible results.
You see, the more I learned about quantum physics and the power of the mind, the more I have been developing the self-healing tools that will allow the person to eat, do, and be whatever they want, whatever resonates with them.
Currently, the plethora of information can be very confusing; one day, you get the studies saying that coffee is good, and the next day, it says that coffee is bad… when you know what is good for YOU! You are no longer a victim of the environment and can be presented with all that information and will be able to know exactly where to go.
How do you incorporate the principles of alchemical transformation in your practice to achieve long-lasting effects on your patients’ health and well-being?
I believe in the power of alchemical processes to facilitate change. By rearranging and realigning your thoughts, emotions, and physical and energy fields, we will achieve a long-lasting effect. When you address and transmute the energy at the inception points, you can ensure that the condition is transmuted from your cellular memory for good. I assist people in bridging the gap between where you are and where you aspire to be. This journey is not merely about reaching a destination but also about embracing the transformative journey itself. As a medical doctor with extensive experience in mind upgrading, I specialize in guiding individuals toward their next level of personal, wellness, and professional growth. Many of us are held back by unconscious programs that sabotage our progress. Through the programs I offer, I help people identify and navigate these hidden barriers, allowing them to break free from limiting patterns and realize their full potential.
What are light body activations, and how do they serve as catalysts for awakening dormant potentials in your patients?
The light body activations are upgrades of the different layers of the body. We have the physical body but also a layer of energetic energy that surrounds it like a glove; most people are not aware of this. This layer acts as a transmitter and emits vibratory signals out there attracting different things and if you don’t change, they will remain the same, attracting the same old stuff. The activations are transmissions of higher consciousness that serve as catalysts for profound inner shifts, awakening dormant potentials and accelerating the evolutionary journey-change. It starts by opening the client’s Akashic Records (a technique I learned in Egypt) and also by guided meditation using visual imagery and sacred geometry patterns. You change your energetic layers with meaningful thought and intention.
As a seasoned medical doctor, how do you balance conventional medical practices with alternative healing modalities in your treatment plans?
I offer a tailored and individualized combination of scientifically proven methods and transformative practices, a solid toolkit designed to facilitate profound shifts and ensure long-term care and goal achievement. Most conventional techniques offer temporary relief from a symptom but not a rooted solution to the problem. Each human being is a universe, once we get to see what is in the blueprint, we can set up a plan to change and achieve the goals. I work with people’s creeds and levels of comfort. Long-lasting change starts by understanding who you are and also by being kind and gentle with yourself. It’s a beautiful process and I feel so honored to be able to share this with so many.
I do have a podcast on Telegram and recently started a blog about the QHHT, please feel free to join. I try to stay active in social media and my channels are open for anyone who wishes to join.
