Meryl

As a child she knew her purpose was to be of service to others, though she wasn’t clear how. Her first experience with the angelic realm was at very young age of 4 years old, and she continued having a sense presences through her childhood and into adulthood. She found herself working in the traditional medical industry in the mid 90’s in hopes that it would fulfill the desire to support those in need, simultaneously she began questioning different themes in her own life, which put her on a path of spiritual progression, Higher Vibration and Frequency. 
As she explored her path she quickly realized this was her true calling. She was introduced to Reiki in 2005, began her certifications and became a Reiki Master Teacher in 2007. This led her to Magnified Healing® Phase 1 and 3, she became a Magnified Healing® Practitioner and Teacher Phase 1 in 2008. The stirrings of her soul led her to the Akashic Records where she discovered the highest connection to her soul, clearing ancestral patterns and belief systems while integrating positive affirmations. She then was able to advance and shift Karmic Contracts and become the architect of her life. She had such a profound transformation working in and with her Akashic Records, she felt compelled to become a teacher of the Akashic Records in order to assist others in this beautiful process. Her teacher channeled the Wisdom Prayer Process®, and decided share her teaching to those already certified. Meryl felt compelled to continue her service in this role and became a certified teacher of the Akashic Records Wisdom Prayer Process® in 2011. Essentially, this is guidance from your soul! Meryl is honored and committed to assist you on your path of transformation and transcendence to living life in a deeply inspired, loving, joyful and peaceful way.

Summadre's Bio

Summadre

My name Suumadre N. Clark I am 20 Years Old attending ASA College going for my Associates Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies . I’m very energetic, fun to be around and very honest and straightforward. I have been dancing for about eleven years and this will be my twelfth year continuing dance. I’ve danced one of the styles such as Heels, where it focuses on the strength and confidence of the individual, the beauty, grace, and fierceness an individual has, and the feeling of what it feels like when you use to wear heels. On top of that you will feel the fun, energy and a huge workout with the movements when your moving and dancing on heels. Heels can be more than just a fashion it can also be an art, and you are the artist creating your own art. A quote from Tom Ford said that  “ Shoes are always the most important thing because they are who you are. They change the way you walk, the way you move.”
