Once upon a time...
The reason I developed Transforming Your Surgery was to help my clients find a way to move past fear, anxiety and negativity: to see their procedures as an opportunity to release what’s no longer working toward health, happiness and wholeness, inspiring my clients to choose what’s happening to and for them. We are not victims of the medical profession but partners, allies and participants in our healing choices.
I also developed Transforming Your Surgery to educate my clients about ways to keep stress to a minimum. Simply put, when stress is high, our immune system is not turned on all the way and our body's ability to repair is lowered: our energy is diverted to deal with the stress.
Another purpose for creating Transforming Your Surgery was to facilitate ways for my clients to generate their own empowering, healing images. All of us are excellent at producing doomsday versions of upcoming events in our minds. These doomsday versions can make us feel anxious and stressed. What if, instead of running negative, devastating images in our minds, we choose positive, restorative, meaningful images? I’ve seen uplifting images move clients into greater peace, comfort and connection with themselves and the world.
Lastly, I feel it’s important and necessary to bring a spiritual perspective to healing. It doesn’t matter what the spiritual perspective is, as long as it’s present. It can be religious, but it certainly doesn’t have to be. The dictionary definition of the world spiritual is: “of or relating to, or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.” Spirituality, then, can be anything that affects our spirit: nature, dance, music, ideas, love; so when I say that it’s important and necessary to bring a spiritual perspective to healing, what I mean is that it’s important to honor our soul as well as our body if we want to heal.
Transforming Your Surgery can aid in releasing what no longer serves our highest good. It can empower, enlighten and enrich our healing.

How Transforming Your Surgery Began
Once upon a time...
I decided to start all my blogs with “Once upon a time” because life really does seem like a magical story to me. Life is where miracles, love and profound deep connections flourish. My work allows me the opportunity to experience all this and more.
Transforming Your Surgery began on the couch in my family room after a delicious Indian meal. I was sitting with my friend and colleague, Dr. Carol Robin, as we both shared our passion for bringing spirit/soul into the operating room.
I told Carol how I had worked for an oral surgeon when I lived in San Francisco and how fascinated I was by the miracles performed in surgery. I loved it! Neither of us was squeamish about surgery. On the contrary, we were intrigued—and the potential for healing set our hearts on fire.
Since we were both energy healers—she a chiropractor and myself an acupressure and Reiki practitioner—we connected deeply about all the possibilities for supporting our clients that were having surgery or other medical treatments.
From that enthusiastic living room conversation came the seeds that grew into Transforming Your Surgery.
When I think of healing, I think of healing the totality of our being: body, mind, energy, soul and heart. The idea of taking all these aspects of ourselves into the operating room was thrilling. What an opportunity to heal all our parts!
I see surgery as the possibility of a journey. A journey to Source to bring back healing. Healing means different things to different people, it doesn’t always mean cure. It can mean growth or a shift in consciousness. It can mean finding peace or letting go. It can mean coming to terms with the past, letting it truly be over and being fully present, now.
Transforming Your Surgery is an opportunity to hold all the possibilities for healing and let them gently unfold with the support and guidance of someone who is an advocate for your highest good.
