A passionate belief in your business and personal objectives can make all the difference between success and failure. If you aren't proud of what you're doing, why should anybody else be?

Shamanic Beauty
Shamanic Beauty is a project started by my very close friend, Phoenix Rising (yes, that is her real name). Some might remember her as the 28 week Billboard “Top 10” charting recording artist, “Nyee Moses”. Many jazz, soul, and world music DJs, radio personalities, and even Entertainment Weekly called her the next Sade. She is a fashion designer & stylist with a penchant for the BOHO style, and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Transformational Life Coach for Health, Beauty & Wellness.
Shamanic beauty is the path to rediscovering your innate wisdom and the remembrance that inside you exists a sacred language, a dialogue filled with powerful self-healing codes and divine information to be used to harness your health, happiness and well being. Shamanic Beauty becomes the portal to access the wisdom once held and to teach us all how to achieve optimal health happiness and longevity mentally physically and emotionally.
Egami
Egami (pronounced e-gom-ee) is “image” spelled backwards. It is owned by my very own “Medicine Woman”, Angie Brooks. Not only is she a holistic healing practitioner, she also happens to be my best friend of almost 20 years. It’s been quite interesting to see her spiritual transformation and growth which started in 2000, from waking up to the injustices of our government to now exploring the holistic approach to health through eastern medicine.
Angie received her Level I & II Reiki certifications in 2011, became a Usui Reiki Master in 2013, and a Holy Fire II Karuna Reiki® Master certification in March of 2017. Further enhancing her practice, and after close to a decade of practicing Reiki, she became aware of Jikiden (“direct”) Reiki. In 2018, she journeyed back to the Amazon and learned how to work with its sacred frog medicine, Kambo, and travels to the Amazon frequently to receive medicine directly from Kambo in her natural environment, which protects the integrity and potency of the medicine that I share with her clients.
