Commonly referred to as acupuncture without needles, tapping is a form of "psychological" acupressure...an easily learned technique that effectively eliminates negative emotional states and often physical illnesses and pain. The most popular form of tapping is EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques. I am a certified energy meridian tapping practitioner.
An interactive workshop during which you will learn the newest evidence based and effective techniques for self-growth, inner change and the nurture of one’s spirit. The workshop is presented in six one-on-one sessions in person in Palm Desert, CA, or by phone or Skype Video. In this workshop you will learn how to make the connection between present self-limiting issues and unresolved past hurts or trauma, especially those experienced in the first 18 years of your life. You will learn how to reduce and eventually eliminate emotional blocks by “tapping” 14 easy to reach energy meridian points on the body. Finally you will learn how to rewrite the memories of past hurts or trauma and come to a place of marvelous inner healing and freedom.
Original reflections, songs, and poems; views and experiences from life as a survivor of child-abuse, family dysfunction and addiction; and years of freedom and happiness.



Welcome and Warm Greetings!
I have spent most of my life helping people overcome the illusion of separation…from their real selves, others, the universe and the reality we call “God”. This illusion of separation is created first in the adverse experiences of childhood, by negative messages and core beliefs that are internalized early and last for years. This illusion is reinforced by trauma experiences throughout life. All of my work, my ministry as a priest, my workshops and retreats, my music and poetry are ultimately focused on healing these separation experiences and eliminating this illusion. St. Theresa of Avila expressed this reality in her writings:
"Each human person, having come into being, experiences separation from the source of being and spends the rest of his or her life moving towards union with the source,
or trying to fill the desire for union with some lesser thing".
My original "separation from the source" happend in my childhood with the abandonment by my mother and the death of my father. I began my journey of trying to heal this sense of separation and fill this desire for union when I was 13 years old. I discovered alcohol as the first of many "lesser things" that served as temporary solutions to my emotional turmoil. I continued that journey to the present day through many therapies, Alcoholics Anonymous, healing prayer and effective techniques of self-healing, growth and inner transformation. I seldom experience this sense of separation anymore. When the emotions linked to my past knock on the door of my heart I now have simple ways of clearing the air. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the reality I call “God” and to many loving people for this state of being.
I am here to share whatever may be helpful to you in your journey of moving towards union with the source. Your healing and transformation are possible! You do not have to carry the pain of your life all your life!

Throughout the past few years I discovered two energy healing techniques that have opened my life to a deeper connection to all, to more freedom, peace, happiness and purpose. They have served as final pathways for healing the results of my original childhood trauma. I created this website as a place to share these possibilities with you.
Matrix Reimprinting is an application of energy meridian tapping to heal the effects of trauma, especially unresolved childhood abuse, trauma or other adverse experiences.
I am a certified Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner.
I teach these techniques in a workshop called "Set Free to be Me!"
I have been deeply affected by the results of The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, a decade-long and ongoing study designed to examine the childhood origins of many of our nation’s leading health and social problems. The Study represents collaboration between the nation’s leading prevention agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Kaiser Health Plan’s Department of Preventive Medicine in San Diego, CA. Your "ACE Score" affirms your experiences and helps identify your need for healing.
"All the possibilities of your human destiny are asleep in your soul. You are here to realize and honor these possibilities".

"I have been invited to create a residential treatment and training program using EFT and Matrix Reimprinting. Because of time restraints I will not be offering the "Set Free to be Me!" workshop during 2012".
