'Kal-Uh-Din'

Hi, I am Kaladin. I'm excited to guide you on your healing journey!

Yoga was the first step in my healing journey...

The tools of fasting and detoxification

For decades I struggled with self-hate, poor boundaries, depression, social anxiety, and powerlessness. I have coped with binge eating, alcohol and cannabis abuse, video game addiction, pornography addiction, isolation and suicidal ideation. There have been several times in life where I gave up on life and on myself.

After a series of traumatic events starting in my mid-twenties and lasting for several years after, I finally grew frustrated enough with my quality of life. I became determined to learn what was causing me so much pain, so that I could heal and begin living the life I really wanted. It all began with that decision to no longer accept a life of pain, coping, and disconnection.

The first landmark in my healing was through various forms of yoga, especially Kundalini Yoga. I discovered that there are many tools available to alter my mood and energy levels. I earned my certificate in 2015 as a Kundalini Yoga Practitioner. And while Kundalini Yoga is a potent tool and it has a special place in my heart it never actually addressed the root cause of my suffering.

The next modality I discovered was detoxification. One of the coping mechanisms I developed for dealing with my trauma was binge eating. So, when I was introduced to detoxification and fasting I was very skeptical and very resistant. However, after time I gave it a chance and discovered eating a clean diet of whole raw fruits and vegetables had a big impact on my well-being. Again, as with Kundalini Yoga I quickly learned that the approach of detoxification has certain limits, and at times the strict regimented approach caused damage to my the relationship I have with myself. I earned my certification as a Detoxification Specialist in 2014.

The root of my suffering turned out to be a high level of fragmentation from myself. After a life of various relational and shock traumas I found myself in a constant state of suppressed emotions with dulled mental capacities. It's at this time in my life I stumbled upon the significance of healing the mental and emotional bodies.

In Lak’ech Ala K’in (I am another yourself)

I finally set out to discover how to finally heal my relationship with life and myself. Now I use the same powerful techniques to help others find inner peace.

Mental, emotional, and inner child healing

This turned out to the biggest key to my healing and I quickly immersed myself in education and training. In 2020 I completed a certification as a Completion Process Facilitator, a modality designed to heal your inner child, undo trauma, and reclaim lost fragments of soul!

The why behind it all

My specific life experiences and traumas instilled within me a very strong capacity for empathy and compassion. I quickly realized that others can benefit from my capacity to be present with difficult emotions, my awareness, and the tools I have gathered along my healing journey.

I have the strong knowing that I can make an impact in the lives of individuals, like yourself. My hope is the positive impact you receive from my content and working with me will spread to all areas of your life and positively impact all of your relationships. I am deeply dissatisfied with the level of disconnection on the planet and intend to make as much a difference as I can!
