Tom Paladino is a Scalar Energy Researcher with over 25 years of experience developing healing techniques designed to help people all over the world to recover from pathogenic infection and experience true health and wellness. The story begins back in Tom s undergraduate days when he became inspired by his research into the work of various scientists. Exploring the discoveries and theories of Hieronymus, Moray, Priore, and Nikola Tesla, he was intrigued by the existence of an energy that is not part the electromagnetic spectrum. Taking this as his inspiration, he dedicated himself to a course of independent study in order to better understand the possibilities of this unique energy with the ultimate aim of successfully harnessing it. Tom realized that the scalar energy he was studying has been known to many cultures throughout the ages; it may be referred to as prana, chi, radiant energy, zero-point energy, qi, orgone or eloptic energy. Encouraged by the timeless, allpervading nature of this fundamental energy source, and after years of experimentation and modification, Tom Paladino developed a unique healing technique using scalar energy called Scalar Light that appears to have the ability to transmute pathogens quickly and painlessly. This technique uses photographs of people who are seeking relief from the symptoms of pathogenic diseases. Tom Paladino s Scalar Light invention uses a remote passive light energy to influence the human bio field. The transmutation process shows promise in disassembling the agents of disease. Contact Information: Tom Paladino Scalar Energy Researcher / Inventor Of Scalar Light Brandenton, FL USA Tom@scalarlight.com +1 (805) 364-3051 EST Social Media Profiles: https://www.facebook.com/experiencescalar https://www.twitter.com/tompaladino https://www.youtube.com/user/ TomPaladino Scalar: The Scalar Light Instrument operates at the quantum level and is designed specifically to disassemble pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, protozoans, amoebas, and prions; appearing to eliminate the causative agent of disease. Once the causative agent of a pathogen disease has been eliminated, the symptoms associated with that infection decrease or disappear altogether. There are a number of healing programs, each designed to target different sources of illness. The Pathogen Cleanse healing program seeks to disassemble over 400,000 pathogens for both humans and animals. The Nutrient Therapy program is designed to deliver 347 essential nutrients to living cells. The Bio Energy Balance program harmonizes the body of the person or animal receiving the healing. These programs are continually being developed and new exciting healing possibilities are emerging all the time. Tom Paladino desires to present to the wider world the possibility that one day, Scalar Light could be viewed as the cure for all bacterial, fungal, protozoan, and viral infections. It is his sincere wish that the world would come to recog
Baze, CFP loves helping highly successful, very passionate people use their money in a way to express their deepest held ideals and values to honor their soul. She is an expert in Financial Planning who has worked with thousands of households since entering the business in 2007. She offers a unique approach by combining Soul-Based Financial Planning and Sustainable Investing to help people honor who they truly are. When asked the best way to describe herself, she said, "I have the heart of a kindergarten teacher, the sense of humor of a middle school teacher, but the credentials of a stock broker." DeeDee received her undergraduate degree in Education from Oklahoma State University as well as completed post graduate work in the area of Psychology. She spent a decade and a half teaching in the public school system. First as an Elementary Science Teacher then moved to Middle School Mathematics for the majority of her career. After leaving the classroom she obtained multiple insurance licenses such as life, health, disability and property/casualty. Working in the insurance industry for several years she learned a lot but found her true passion in securities and financial planning after meeting a woman, Trish Prawl, who would become her mentor and role model. She completed post graduate courses at the College for Financial Planning in preparation to pass her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER Exam which she passed on the first attempt. She is a life-long learner who loves to read. She usually is reading three different books at a time, one for professional growth, one for personal growth, and one for health. The pandemic in 2020 was the catalyst for her to reexamine her life and what truly made her happy. She was working at a credit union at the time with over 650 clients in her book of business. She felt her life was out of balance. She commuted an hour, worked 8 hours, commuted an hour home then would work into the evening on financial plans. Went to bed, to do it again the next day. She was becoming exhausted and felt she had way too many clients to give them the care they truly needed. So she took a leap of faith and started her own firm with the intent of not having more than 100 clients total. By starting her own firm, she was also able to align her own deepest values and work on doing what she could to lower her carbon footprint and honor who she truly was. She struggled working in a predominantly man's world feeling like a bit of an outsider so when she left, she realized it was the best decision she could have made in her career. She brings a softer, more compassionate touch to financial planning and investing. She believes in aligning your inner self with your money. She believes in contributing to the greater good. All these things she was able to weave into her practice and now only works with clients who want the same thing for themselves.

Those who are walking the path of infertility and IVF know how hard this journey can be. You're often left with unanswered questions and uncertain how you are going to make it through. You're challenged in more ways than you can count and are aware how fertility challenges affect nearly every area of your life. There's a predominant feeling of having no control on this ride. Your joy feels stripped away, you feel as if you're losing yourself. I believe your fertility experience CAN BE DIFFERENT. It can be one of more JOY, greater Peace, more Ease. A new place of Empowerment. Focusing on what you CAN control. A sense of freedom where you keep living your life and don't put it on hold. YOU feel ALIGNED and in FLOW. I believe a holistic approach on one's path to parenthood is essential --mind+body+spirit. Soulful Alignment. This is what many are missing. There are some key steps to getting soulfully aligned. 1. Set your Intention. Get clear and grounded. Focus on what you DO want. You must have a specific starting point and this is foundation to getting soulfully aligned. 2. Examine your current narrative. What are you telling yourself about your fertility path? Does it have to be hard and painful? The way we view this process matters more than you know. Look at the thoughts you're thinking and decide to shift into a more positive vibration. Mindset is Everything. 3. Let it Go. Embrace the ride into the unknown. Stop trying to force it all a certain way, but rather trust it's all unfolding in the best way. By surrendering you allow the magic in. Less DO-ing, More BE-ing.
