Unfortunately, no one could help Joshua in such a way.He became anxious for no apparent reason at all and felt no control over his emotions. He became easily overloaded and had such bad migraine headaches that it knocked him out for 24 hours. Some days he wasn’t even functional to the point where he couldn’t move forward in his life. He never thought he could heal or resolve these problems, even though he kept working and working, and maybe became a bit compulsive at healing himself to no avail. He studied and studied an abundance of healing modalities with the intention to heal himself. Through this training Joshua discovered his own methodologies and became a healing professional, helping others heal from such ailments as Anxiety, Depression, Migraine Headaches, Fibromyalgia, Crohn's, Pain, Abuse, Trauma, you name it.  ​His very first client had Fibromyalgia, and in just 4 min she claimed that she no longer had the syndrome any longer. She felt it leave her body during their work together. He almost couldn’t believe it, but he knew he did it. ​He transformed his life with this amazing process that has helped transform the lives of thousands of people now for the past 20+ years. ​Now it's his passion to help you shift your energy and change your life by using these healing secrets that have transformed him. ​Key Points and Questions:Virginia01:43How did you become on the energy path and where you are today?Virginia11:34So do you help people do that now?
