Antonia is a registered psychotherapist, Ayurvedic Counsellor, Yoga and Meditation teacher and award-winning author. In 2006 she experienced a dramatic, spontaneous shift in realities that challenged everything she knew of the world and herself. For the next magical 16 years she experienced an explosion of energy, eventually understanding she was in an accelerated awakening. She has spent nearly every day since then releasing emotional, physical, and energetic pain and letting go of what she thought defined a worthy life. As the suffering was released, she accessed a higher truth about the purpose of pain: that it feeds our evolution, but only if we see it for the story it is. And once we see it-with the energy of pure presence-it no longer exists.  Antonia works with her clients both psychotherapeutically and as a transmuter to help them see their pain versus be their pain.
