Marisa's Journey Of Healing
My healing journey began with a back injury as a teenager, followed by ten car accidents over the years. The turning point came when a drunk driver struck my vehicle—the surgery and complications that followed led to years of medical leaves and constant re-injuries.
I was taking 14 different medications daily with minimal relief and countless side effects. Diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and spondylarthritis, I spent many days bedridden or dependent on a walker.
I tried EVERYTHING—physical therapy, chiropractic care, CBD, psychedelics, supplements, energy healing. While some provided temporary relief, none gave me back the quality of life I desperately wanted. I spent thousands of dollars and countless hours searching for answers and real relief.
Then I discovered Nikola Tesla's forgotten Violet Ray technology from the 1890s. This remarkable healing method had been used in hospitals worldwide through the 1940s but virtually disappeared as pharmaceuticals began to dominate modern medicine.
My transformation was profound—from 14 medications to zero, from bedridden to fully active again. This hidden technology didn't just help me; it gave me my life back.
When you work with me, you're working with someone who truly understands your frustration and has found a way through it. I know what it's like to feel hopeless, and I know what it feels like to discover profound healing.

Why I Do This Work
Because You Deserve To Feel Better
After my own healing, I couldn't keep this discovery to myself. Every day I meet people who are exactly where I was—told to "manage" their discomfort, given medications that create new problems, feeling like they've tried everything.
Here's what makes working with me different: I don't just offer you a service; I offer you hope backed by lived experience. When I tell you Tesla's technology can transform your life, it's not theory—it's my personal reality and the reality many of my clients experience.
I've dedicated years to mastering these healing methods because I remember the desperation of searching for answers. Now I get to guide others to the same breakthrough I experienced.
When you walk into my space, you're not just getting a one-of-a-kind healing experience —you're getting an opportunity to thrive again.
Your Return To Vitality Starts Now
When you're ready to explore what real healing can look like, you won't be taking this journey alone. You'll have someone beside you who has walked this exact path and found the way through.
You don't have to settle for "this is as good as it gets" anymore.
"Mother Aya taught me more about myself, empathy, compassion, and perspective in one weekend than I’d ever been able to figure out on my own. This will help me for the rest of my life. I can’t imagine the path I would have continued down without this."

"Hummingbird Church feels like what a church is supposed to be: a fellowship of individuals coming together to heal, love and encourage one another with egos in check. This was my first experience with Ayahuasca and I am so grateful."
