Philippa’s Healing Background:
Philippa is an Animal Communicator; Certified VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing Practitioner; Psychic & Spiritual Medium.
Author: Rising Above Grief for People and Pets:
Meditation CD: Freedom to be Free is Freeing.
Philippa’s spiritual quest began initially in 1986 with Buddhism, studying Mahayana and Theravada traditions. The Thai temple in Atlanta also became an integral part of her life encapsulating Thai culture and cuisine.
She counts Doreen Virtue and Angelic Guidance as inspiration for her spiritual growth in all aspects of the angelic realm. She took Doreen’s Spiritual Writers Workshop at Angel University, which guided and inspired her to formulate the channeled book Rising Above Grief for People and Pets, published by Balboa Press.
In 2006 she discovered an ancient Healing Art: VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing,
She personally experienced the transformative power of VortexHealing® with a deep-seated family issue which she never thought would change. It was through this experience that she became committed to sharing this healing process with others, and facilitates and empowers clients on their spiritual path to discover their life purpose.
She gives regular monthly VortexHealing talks with group healing, and Angelic Heart Meditation to Open the Spiritual Heart at Phoenix and Dragon Bookstore in Atlanta.
Her personal grieving process after the loss of her beloved father, adored dogs and later her much loved mother, and as author of the channeled book Rising Above Grief for People and Pets enabled her to specialize and help people heal from the emotional earthquake of the grieving process.
She was guided by her adored dogs in Spirit to officially learn animal communication. Many animals still exhibit behavioral issues even after being adopted into a loving home. Philippa uses animal communication and VortexHealing® to release the residue of fear due to their previous life of abuse or abandonment by healing in the cellular system. She uses animal communication and VortexHealing in person and remotely, both in Atlanta and nationally. She also connects with animals in Spirit to help people who are grieving over the loss to help them find healing and closure.
In 2012, she found mediumship to help her overcome the residue of the grieving process, after the loss of her beloved father and adored dogs. In 2013, her beautiful mother passed into Spirit after suffering from Alzheimers. She studies mediumship in the UK at Arthur Findlay Spiritualist College in Stansted.
As a spiritual medium it enables her to blend and become a voice for the Spirit world, to tell the story of a life once lived and give messages of love to dry the tears of sadness and let hope unfold in the heart.
