If we are unable to find the correct solution, we will often become overwhelmed, confused and discouraged from finding the best possible answer.  In an individual session with me, I will help you heal the negative energy and Karmic Debt that might surround you.  I will use one or more of the following; Counseling, Energy Work, Past Life Connection and Guided Meditations as tools to help you move forward.  My ultimate goal is to help heal your Soul, so that you may find Peace and Happiness in your life.”   Patrick has Guided, Healed and Counseled over 10,000 individuals within his career.  He currently is not engaged in social media at this time.
