Someone asked me recently why I want to do the work I do.
What a great question!
My answer was that I have had some incredibly profound, healing, and spiritually connective experiences in my life, and I want to help other people have similar revelations and heal at that same deep level. I want to guide people to truly experiencing the Divine presence in their own lives here and now.
A friend and colleague of mine expresses this sentiment as wanting to help others achieve what he had to figure out for himself. For me, I had some incredibly gifted and spiritually-connected teachers and guides along the way. I want to show my gratitude for all of those people by passing on what I have learned and experienced.
I also want to express my thanks to my clients and students who have opened their minds and their hearts to what I have to offer. You are allowing me to do what I have been called to do. When I see you healing and learning so profoundly, I feel blessed to my very core.
Thank you students. Thank you teachers.
Of course, the most influential teachers in my life are my parents, Mike and Juanita Kissell. They raised me with every bit of love and 
caring they knew how to give.
John McIntosh introduced me to guided meditation when I was a student at Penn State Altoona. For years, every time I lead a meditation, it was his voice I heard.
Carla Mary Russell was my first Reiki Master. She opened the door to the world of healing and energy work.
Richard Fiallo also taught me Reiki, and even more importantly he created and introduced me to Moksha Magick. I had never heard of sacred sexuality, much less dreamed that it would become my life’s passion.
Rev. Dr. Michael Milner and Rev. Suzanne Champlin, now of the Flowering Heart Center 
initiated me as a Oneness Blessing Giver and opened the door to seeing God in a whole new way.
Sister-of-my-Heart Ashley Rae introduced me to Theta-Healing and more self-care
and self-empowerment practices than I can count.
Guru Aum Jah taught me about myself in profound ways, sometimes painfully and sometimes most joyfully.
Lauren Gale shared Access Bars with me and continued to open my world.
Freyja and Michael Inanna guided me to my own vulnerability and power with Multi-Dimensio
nal Awakening. I can’t even say enough about how safe and supported I felt during this process.
I know there will be many more teachers and many more students to come, so to all of you – teachers and students, past, present, and future, I express my deepest gratitude.
