My Story
I’m Jeremy—a veteran who walked this path. I found healing—and now I guide others
I served eight years in the U.S. Army, completing two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. When I left the military, I felt broken—cast aside, struggling to figure out my place in the world and what I was meant to do next. At first, I didn’t think I had PTSD. I believed what I had experienced wasn’t severe enough to qualify, that others had it worse than me.
But the signs were there. I couldn’t shake the anger. Loud noises made me jump. I was constantly on edge, hyper-aware of my surroundings, and it was slowly wearing me down. When I finally sought help through the VA, I was given medication. The pills numbed the pain, but they didn’t heal me. They masked the symptoms, but underneath, I was still struggling. I would feel calm for a while, only to explode in new and unexpected ways.
Eventually, I quit the medication and turned to self-medicating. But that only pushed me further away from my family and friends. I was living on autopilot, just trying to make it through each day. A part of me didn’t want to keep going.
If it weren’t for my kids, I might not have.
That was the turning point. I made the choice to start healing. My journey eventually led me to Shamanism, and that’s when everything changed. Through Shamanic practices, I began to truly heal—not just suppress the pain. I learned to identify the stories I carried, understand my triggers, and reconnect with myself and my guides.
It was then that I understood why I was here and why I had gone through everything I did.
These are the techniques and skills I now bring to this program. This isn’t just talk therapy—it’s a path to reclaiming yourself, to becoming whole again so that YOU can live the life you truly want.
This journey won’t be easy, but in the end, it will be the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself.

12‑Week One-on-One PTSD Recovery
You’ve Survived the Battle. Now, Reconnect with Yourself and Your Life
​
For those living with PTSD or unresolved trauma, everyday life can feel like a battlefield. The world may see you as “functioning,” but inside, you're constantly scanning for danger, reliving painful moments, and struggling to connect with others. Trauma influences your nervous system and survival responses. These patterns helped you survive — now they may be influencing how safe your body feels in the present.
PTSD Affects us in many ways, some of the signs could look like:
Hypervigilance: Always on Edge
​​
This can manifest in many ways:
-
Jumping at sudden noises or movements
-
Feeling uneasy in crowds or unfamiliar places
-
Struggling to sleep because your mind won’t shut off
-
Always scanning your surroundings for exits, threats, or potential dangers
-
Constant state of alertness
For some, this hyperawareness is a learned survival mechanism, a way to avoid ever being hurt again. But in reality, it keeps you trapped in a cycle of exhaustion and fear, preventing you from ever truly feeling safe.
Intrusive Thoughts: Reliving the Past
​
Intrusive thoughts can take many forms:
-
Vivid flashbacks that make it hard to distinguish past from present
-
Nightmares that disrupt sleep and leave you feeling drained
-
Unwanted thoughts or images that replay painful experiences
-
Constant “what if” scenarios that make you fear the worst
It can feel like your mind is working against you, dragging you back to places you desperately want to leave behind. But these thoughts don’t define you, and healing is possible.
Relationship Struggles: The Walls We Build
​​
Relationship struggles with PTSD and trauma often look like:
-
Difficulty trusting others, even those who are safe
-
Feeling detached or numb, making emotional connection hard
-
Pushing people away out of fear of getting hurt again
-
Overreacting to perceived rejection or abandonment
-
Intense emotional outbursts, followed by guilt and regret
Sometimes, trauma convinces you that you are too broken to be loved or that letting someone in will only lead to more pain. But real connection is still possible, and with the right support, relationships can be a source of healing rather than fear.
No Trauma is “Too Small”
One of the biggest misconceptions about trauma is the idea that it has to be “bad enough” to matter. But trauma isn’t a competition. It’s not about how extreme an experience was—it’s about how it impacted you.
Some people survive life-threatening events, while others experience emotional wounds that are just as deep from things like childhood neglect, bullying, toxic relationships, or ongoing stress. Just because your trauma doesn’t “look” like someone else’s doesn’t mean it’s any less valid.
​
Your pain is real. Your struggles matter. And you deserve support, no matter what your trauma looks like.
Healing is Possible
PTSD and trauma can make you feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of fear and pain, but you don’t have to live this way forever. Healing is possible, and there are paths forward.
​​
Are you ready to reclaim your life from the grip of PTSD and trauma? This 3-month program offers a unique and powerful approach to healing, integrating ancient shamanic practices with modern understanding of trauma. Through this one on one support you will learn to navigate your inner landscape, release old wounds, and step into your full potential.
​
You are not alone. You are not broken. And you don’t have to fight this battle on your own.
Healing the Mind, Body, and Spirit
Program Overview
In this program we meet once a week in a live Zoom Call.
Each session we focus on you and what you need.
This is a structured healing process that supports your nervous system, body awareness, and meaning-making — alongside your personal care and support systems. Real results. One-on-one. Week by week.
In this personalized healing program, we’ll meet weekly to work through the lingering effects of trauma and rebuild your foundation—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Each session may include:
-
Breathwork to Release Stress, Trauma & Overload
Powerful, no-BS breathing techniques that calm the nervous system, clear the head, and release stored tension. -
Resetting the Fight-or-Flight Response
Learn how to shift out of survival mode and teach your body that it’s safe again—on a neurological and energetic level. -
Grounding and Centering
Get your feet back under you. Reconnect to your body and to the present moment with practical tools that work in daily life. -
Understanding Trauma and Supporting the Release of Stored Patterns
Trauma can create persistent survival patterns in the nervous system and body. We work with these patterns to support your system in feeling safe and present. -
Inviting parts of you that stepped back during stress to rejoin when ready
Sometimes trauma causes parts of us to disconnect. We bring those pieces back—so you feel whole again. -
Exploring sources of inner strength and support in ways that resonate with you
Whether you call it God, spirit, your ancestors, or just something bigger—there’s help available. You don’t have to do this alone. -
Clearing Trapped Emotions from the Body
Pain has a way of getting stuck. Using proven, intuitive methods, we’ll release what’s been buried so you can breathe easier again.

A Commitment to Your Healing—And Your Future
​
I understand that committing both time and money to a 3-month program is a serious decision. I also know most people have limited resources when it comes to investing in their healing and growth.
That’s why I’ve created this program not only to be deeply transformative—but also truly worth your investment.
​
I normally charge $220 per session, which would make this 12-week program $2,640 in total.
But because I believe in honoring your commitment and making healing more accessible, I’ve built this into a package deal with flexible payment options:​​
​
​
12-Week PTSD Recovery Program
Payment Option Total Cost Equals Per Session
Pay Monthly $600 x 3 months $150/session
Pay in Full $1,650 $137.50/session
Support for Your Family, Too
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Healing affects relationships. Family sessions help support communication and safety.
That’s why, during the course of this program, I offer one-on-one healing sessions for your family members at any time, for a reduced rate of $125.
​
Whether they need emotional support, grounding, or help navigating their own trauma, they’ll have access to the same level of care—so the healing extends to your home and relationships.
