I am a 6-1/2 year veteran as an EMT-Basic in Philadelphia, PA where I also dispatch for a private ambulance company. I started my business, Internal Consciousness after I had to deal with a mentally traumatic event that occurred in my life just as I was finishing EMT school. A Philadelphia Police Lieutenant took his own life on my youngest daughter’s 17th birthday. I didn’t find out about his death until the day before I finished my EMT testing where I basically pushed it to the back of my mind for 3 years. I then spiraled down to the 8th gate of Dante’s Hell and realized I didn’t want to end up like my friend but was stuck on how to ‘fix’ myself. I started looking into alternative therapy because I could not find anything that focused on First Responders in Philadelphia. I found and worked my way through Reiki, Groups therapy for First Responders only, creative journaling, and somatic breathwork. I am currently working on my certification for Ayurvedic Medicine and Nutrition and finishing up another certification in Sound Healing.
