Los Angeles, California

Positive since 1989

I’m a cymatic practitioner in West Hollywood. Cymatic therapy [a sound-frequency-based technique] does not cure HIV but may provide effective and gentle relief of stress, injury, chronic pain and many other conditions. I’m currently working with cymatic frequencies to balance out illness and the stress associated with HIV and to clean the blood down to the bone marrow while addressing the virus and bacteria in the body. I’m also currently working with essential oils to help address the HIV virus.
