We've all come into this world with generational trauma we inherit in our DNA. Then we get to experience oppressive forces in our life through our families, work, media culture, partnerships, and culture. But a lot of times we don't actually let ourselves acknowledge the weight of all we've had to carry and how it impacts our life.
Maybe you've felt stagnant or blocked from opportunities. Maybe you've found yourself in toxic patterns you intellectually understand but emotionally can't escape. Maybe once you reached the successes you craved you realized you can't actually hold those feelings of pride, fulfillment, and happiness for more than a split second if at all.
The good news is, it's not the real you. It's the version of you that has gotten you here, that's protected you and guided you doing the best they know how. But there's a version of you that's fully liberated and you deserve to become them.

You'll be able to have on-going support with me through Whatsapp for the entire 3 months to guide you through. You'll also receive personalized meditations, tools, and materials to support you in anchoring the powerful changes you'll be making. Everything will be available in your client portal.
One day a month you'll join me on my land for a 1-on-1 retreat day. You'll move through the different modalities and receive hands on healing as well as engage in clearing rituals to liberate and cleanse your energy field. The land is in Eagle Creek Oregon, 40 mins outside of Portland.
You'll be guided to profound sharing in a safe private container. I'll take you through spaces where you can tap into inner truths for the first time bringing them into your conscious awareness. We'll use divination tools to access information from your energy field to reveal how you can best be supported during your journey.
By expressing deeply held beliefs and releasing what's been held in your subconscious, you'll reconnect the parts of yourself that crave wholeness.

You'll receive restorative healings for every aspect of your energy system. While you consciously relax into your body and breathe deeply, I work to remove blocks, rebalance your energy centers, and encode new information.
ELH healings are infused with Reiki energy and techniques as well as many ancestral and shamanic practices. I use various tools including feathers, bells, sound bowls, herbs, oils, intention, and channeled information to rebalance and restore your body to vitality.
Throughout the process you'll be taken through powerful rituals combining symbols and intention to release, transmute, and restore what you need. We'll use the abundance of my land to connect deeper to energies and create personal magic.
I'll also guide you through meditative spaces to help you discover and attune to energies and aspects of yourself, your ancestors, spirit team, and the energy all around us. Through these ceremonial aspects, you'll connect deeper to your innate power and purpose.

Being silenced by shame and the weight of traumas you intellectually understand but can't seem to stop reacting to.
Experiencing the relief of a brain, body, and nervous system that trusts. And allowing yourself to make empowered decisions about what is your responsibility and what's not.
Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated by the same emotional patterns that keep you replaying toxic cycles again and again.
Witnessing those patterns with compassion and gratitude knowing they no longer resonate with your energy because you've released the roots they stemmed from.
Feeling uneasy in your body so you distract yourself from the present moment with scrolling, food, drinks, drama, and work.
Embracing your embodied presence and existing fully as yourself regardless of whatever emotions, stories, and fears arise.
Feeling disconnected from your life and unsatisfied with the successes, decisions, and impact you've made.
Feeling everything and actively receiving and soaking up all of the goodness you are and have to offer simply by being yourself.

Embodying your full power by owning every aspect of your experience because you recognize your power to transmute pain into wisdom and love.

When I started this work, I was spiritually heavy, energetically shattered, and deeply unsure if I could feel like myself again. I was healing from a traumatic childhood & narcissistic abuse, psychic attack, and a spiritual exhaustion that no therapy had ever touched.
After three months with Desiree, I feel like a different woman. My power came back. My voice came back. I began walking through life with clarity, strength, and ease.
Desiree didn’t just ‘heal’ me. She guided me to my own healing power. She helped me create rituals, choose crystals, connect with my ancestors, and activate parts of me I’d forgotten. She held me through grief and celebrated my light. I will never be the same—in the best way.
As a therapist, and lifelong activist, I’ve experienced many modalities. This is the deepest, truest, most liberating one I’ve ever known."

I'm a Mixed-Black, ADHD-having mom of twins and certified Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master Teacher. On my journey from hotmess to healer, I learned through many hard knocks the transformative power of facing generational trauma with fierce compassion.
I've worked in the Portland medical/public health field for 17 years facilitating access to vital programs for immigrants, sexual minorities, and BIPOC folks. During that time, I cultivated an ancestrally-informed hands-on-healing practice, which has supported individuals in liberating their energy and shedding shame, fear, and judgement in the process.

3: WE ACCEPT
If I feel like you're a fit, you’ll be sent an invite to schedule a connection call with me and be invited into the program
I can't wait to go over your application. By sharing a bit about who you are and where you are at, it's the first step in putting yourself out there in a powerful way.
Applications give me a sense of your energy and help me know whether your path is aligned with ELH
That means, if you're accepted, it's because I truly believe you'll be able to have a meaningful transformation with the program.
*You don't need to be at a certain "level" in order to be a fit. It's intuitive matching that's about energy, enthusiasm, potential, and drive. If you're having a twinge of imposter feelings, don't let them hold you back :)
1: YOU APPLY
You share as openly and honestly about where you're at and where you want to go.
2: WE REVIEW
I personally read through your application and will see if based on what you've shared, whether or not MXM could truly transform your life.
You can reach out to me directly if you feel really called to the program but have concerns about funding. I can discuss alternative payment options or resources to support you. My goal is to make it as accessible as possible while honoring the time and transformation it brings. So please reach out and we'll see if there's any accommodations we can make.
Each retreat day is 6 hours and we'll have food and drinks to keep you nourished. Aside from that, you can choose to spend as much or as little time engaging with the resources provided. Optimally, reserving 10-15 minutes a day will allow you to reflect and integrate the healing you're doing. You'll have recommended exercises and meditations to support you.
The program lasts for three months, during that time you'll have on-demand Whatsapp support from me as well as a client portal where all of your notes, and resources will live. After that time, you will continue to have access to your portal and all the material in it. Once you've gone through the program you can also purchase shorter remote sessions with me as a tune up when you need it.
That’s why this journey is three months long—and why I’m here. If something comes up that feels overwhelming, you won’t be left alone. I will support you through WhatsApp check-ins and during our sessions. This work will go at your own pace which means there is no rush. It’s designed to hold and guide you through transformation.
Yes. Everyone is welcome here. While I center Black and Brown voices in my work as a mixed-race Black woman, I also hold space for non-Black and non-Brown people who want to connect with their own ancestors, healing their lineage, and honoring their impact. If you come with humility, respect, and a commitment to not harm Black and Brown people, this space is for you—no matter your race, gender, or background.
Absolutely yes. ELH is not a religion—it is a spiritual tool that can complement any belief system you hold. This work does not seek to replace your faith, religious practices, medicine, or mental health support, but to enhance your connection to yourself and your divine understanding.
