For over a decade, I have been teaching Human Sexuality courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, while concurrently facilitating healthy sexuality for my clients in my private practice.
I am the Co-Founder of Bamboo Garden Wellness Center and I also serve as lead faculty at the California Institute for Human Science Graduate School and Research Center in Encinitas, California. My research here focuses on gender studies, human sexuality, and sexual healing.
Sometimes during a session, I will intuitively feel or think something that may be useful to explore. At such times, I share my insights and we discuss how and why this might be relevant to you on your healing journey. I encourage my clients to access their own intuitive inner guidance, as these insights are usually highly valuable in the healing process.
I also create and present workshops on human sexuality, sexual healing, and sacred sexuality for public and private organizations and academic conferences. I love being a sex educator and helping people to achieve happy, healthy sexuality.
I hope to meet you soon, whether you want to experience healing via my Healthy Sexuality Program, or if you'd like to host a workshop, or if we meet socially and you would just like to say hello.

I have been studying and practicing spiritual counseling for over 30 years with clients worldwide. I invented a form of energy medicine called Integrative Chakra Therapy® (ICT). I use it extensively in my practice and have been teaching ICT through my Light News Institute school of energy medicine/energy psychology for over 22 years and have over 500 students and graduate practitioners.
I’ve been teaching psychology of the chakras, toward a super consciousness, past lives karma and reincarnation for many years as lead faculty at the California Institute for Human Science (CIHS) Graduate School and Research Center in Encinitas, California www.cihs.edu and am Chair of the Board of Trustees.
Healing at the level of the Chakras (affects the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual archetypes of the Whole Human Being) is the most powerful form of healing that I know. Distance is no factor, as I’ve clients worldwide and have been most interesting in the Self-empowerment and spiritual awakening of the individual. Along with spiritual counseling, ICT facilitates physical healing and inner growth.
I’m the author of books on chakra psychology, a meditation CD, and have had my own radio show “Light News Radio” for many years.
Many workshops are created and held online and in-person, including flower readings, past lives karma and reincarnation, the Mayan Calendar, nature spirits, and more. Bamboo Garden Wellness Center is a place of education as well as a nurturing oasis of healing.
My wife Michelle and I are co-founders of the Bamboo Garden Wellness Center in Encinitas, California, a holistic integrative multi-discipline center based in body-mind-spirit.
Always, I’m looking for that which raises you to higher states of awareness, including the release of infirmities, limiting beliefs and karmas. I’m here as a conduit for your self-healing, for the Divine blueprint is already within you.

My mission is to share all that I've learned with the world and make holistic healing accessible to everyone.

It's possible to feel good in our bodies, find happiness, and experience pleasure, light, and joy.
-
Hola! I'm Elena, a physical therapist from Spain turned holistic healer. My journey began in a private clinic where I realized my patients needed more than just physical treatment—they needed emotional support too. This realization coincided with my own life experiences, as I went through a period of acute physical pain that was deeply rooted in emotional issues. This pivotal moment led me to embark on my holistic journey. I began by diving deeper into emotional and mental health, undertaking two years of training in Emotional Management Coaching and Family Constellations. Through this program, I came to understand that in order to truly heal others, I first needed to heal myself. Inspired by a powerful dream, I traveled to San Francisco to study Energetic Healing at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH). Over the past four years, I've immersed myself in my own healing journey, emerging happier and more aligned than ever before. Now, I'm here to help you find your light. Whether you're struggling with physical pain or feeling lost and unhappy, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing together. If I can do it, you can do it too! With love and light, Elena

Conscious Core Compassion (CCC) healing & coaching, including popular interventions such as:

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

I created Conscious Core Compassion (CCC), a healing methodology used to help you take confident action to create a meaningful life through the use of evidence-based mind, body, and spirit interventions and intuition.You bring your challenges and desired goals, ranging from professional, practical, personal, spiritual, to deeper underlying patterns.
-
I bridge the gap for clients interested in combining traditional and spiritual interventions for healing and growth.
My #1 goal is to help people connect with how beautiful they are at their CORE so they can create their lives from an empowered place of being, belonging, and self-worth.
Integrative coaching uncovers what the client senses but may not be consciously aware of. By teaching you how to connect to your body, soul, and deepest wisdom, we unearth what is hidden beneath the surface, revealing sub-conscious negative belief systems, conditioning, and patterning, as well as suppressed emotions that are having a negative impact on your life. We access the unconscious influences, make them conscious and compassionately process them in the here and now.

Hello, I am Manjul. I am a dedicated Ayurvedic Health Counselor accredited by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) and a Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) recognized by the Yoga Alliance. My journey into holistic wellness field began in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. At that time, I was juggling a full-time tech job and raising two school going children. Determined to find natural ways to heal and improve my health, I discovered the power of Ayurvedic lifestyle practices and the transformative effects of regular yoga practices.
My personal experience with rheumatoid arthritis served as a catalyst for my career in holistic wellness. Initially, I found it challenging to balance the demands of my job, family responsibilities, and my own well-being. However, with the guidance of Ayurveda and the transformative power of yoga, I was able to find balance, cultivate inner strength, and improve my overall health and well-being. Inspired by my own journey to wellness, I am dedicated to sharing the wisdom of Ayurveda and the practice of yoga with others. I firmly believe that these ancient disciplines have the potential to transform lives and promote holistic healing. Through my website, workshops, and one-on-one consultations, I aim to empower individuals to take charge of their health and make conscious lifestyle choices that support their overall well-being.

I have been on a spiritual journey for many years, starting with visitations from those who crossed over and later in life realizing with my father’s transition “it wasn’t my imagination”, spirits are real! Shortly after my intracranial hematoma I desired to understand more of the Mind – Body connection, healing and “Why are we here?”. I sought out individuals I could study with; Mayan Elders, Shaman, Spiritual leaders / teachers, leaving me yearning for more. In 2022 I seized the challenge to explore the Mind – Body deeper through hypnosis with the Horizon Center Hypnotherapy School. Today I can say, I feel well rounded, still on a journey, though now with my clients.
