Epigenetics & Me

In my spiritual journey, it has been essential for me to commit to and focus heavily on my ancestral, or better yet, epigenetic healing. Being of Seminole, Taino, and Arawak ancestry and a member of The Seminole Tribe of Florida, I recognize that my heritage and background result from very tumultuous events and traumatic circumstances over which I had no control. I have not experienced the battles, events, and struggles my ancestors endured while they were alive. Still, the knowledge that their memories and hardships are carried within me has sparked my journey into exploring the world of epigenetics, never knowing that I could find the scientific connection between my ancestors, chemistry, molecular biology, and, yes, quantum physics.

As you can imagine, such a combination has required deep introspection, and I’ve had to embrace these codes and data, ranging from wonder, excitement, disbelief, horror, solace, compassion, acceptance, resentment, and ultimately, end up in a space of gratitude, self-advocacy, and now: love. As a woman of mixed heritage, I’ve had to acknowledge the crimes and actions of specific individuals whose actions have caused more harm than good over the centuries. As a result, I feel it is my responsibility to help balance the scales in whatever way I can.

I have had to process vast amounts of information from my diverse ancestry. Whether born on ancestral lands or not, they carry their communities' traumas, wisdom, knowledge, and epigenetic cycles. It has been a priority for me to restore the health of my DNA on all levels—physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically—and to heal the trauma of my ancestors in a way that honors both them and myself.

Reclaiming my connection to nature and natural resources, which external forces have disconnected me from, has also been a crucial part of my healing. I’ve had to reclaim the gifts, resources, and wisdom of my Indigenous ancestors while simultaneously returning them to communities of color to pay the debt of my European lineage. I understand that the give-and-take between my ancestral lineages is the balance I must maintain within myself—genetically, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

During all Ancestral Mediumship Sessions and Intergenerational Healing Sessions, we will explore the experiences of your loved ones together and examine how your DNA is expressing itself in your daily life based on the past experiences of the generations before you. We will explore how your DNA influences your reality, consciously and subconsciously, and how to address this at a molecular level in a way that is healing, graceful, and honoring of your ancestral lineage.
