I created my business, The Adora Method, to guide women of color in healing the subconscious roots of fear, shame, and self-sabotage so they can end painful repeating cycles and create success and relationships that truly last. It is my honor to walk beside them on their path of healing and spiritual awakening.
This work was born from my own path of healing and enlightenment—two journeys that, in my experience, are deeply intertwined. I spent years searching for something that would help me understand myself on a deeper level. I tried yoga, meditation, and traditional therapy. Each one offered pieces of truth and relief, yet none felt fully effective, efficient, or culturally attuned. I wanted an approach that acknowledged the body, mind, and spirit as one unified system.
Out of all the modalities I explored, the ones that created the most transformation were hypnotherapy, breathwork, EFT, and self-inquiry. Each spoke to a different layer of my being: the subconscious, the somatic, the emotional, and the energetic. When I began weaving these together, I noticed lasting shifts in my nervous system, my relationships, and my ability to create. Over time, this became the foundation of what I now call The Adora Method.
The name Adora is sacred to me. It represents devotion, remembrance, and the divine within. I chose it because this work is ultimately about returning to the inner divinity we all carry—yet often forget.
A Method Born from Necessity
My approach is transpersonal and comprehensive. It honors both science and spirit. I believe in teaching clients how and why these tools work from a neurological perspective while also acknowledging the sacred and unseen aspects of healing. The Adora Method helps clients rewire the subconscious mind, release stored trauma from the body, and reconnect with their inner guidance. I see my role as a bridge between the spiritual and the scientific—helping others access both logic and intuition as sources of wisdom.
What many people don’t realize is how deeply this work is needed in communities of color. Culturally, we’re often conditioned to suffer in silence, keep our struggles within the family, or “just pray about it.” Traditional mental health approaches have struggled to effectively address complex trauma, and even when effective treatments exist, many Black and Brown women hesitate to seek them out.
A defining moment for me came when I realized that the deep healing work I was experiencing through hypnosis was almost never talked about in these communities—despite how transformative it could be. I felt called to bring subconscious healing, specifically to women of the global majority. I believe that by serving this community, healing will ripple outward, touching families, relationships, and generations to come.
SWIHA: Where Vision Became Reality
Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) played a significant role in helping me shape this work into something I could truly offer the world. Through the Hypnotherapy program, I gained the structure and confidence I needed to bring my vision to life. What stood out most was how every part of the curriculum supported self-discovery. I wasn’t just learning techniques—I was becoming the practitioner I always needed.
Some of my favorite classes were my hypnosis sessions with Herri Gilbert, especially past life regression and the class on dreams and metaphors. However, my absolute favorite was Somatic Psychology: The Subtle Body with Sherry Fragosa. That class helped me tie in energetic work and the chakra system and integrate it with the subconscious healing we do in hypnotherapy. The community, the teachers, and the energy of SWIHA reminded me that healing is not about perfection—it is about presence.
One of the greatest lessons I learned at SWIHA was how to bring a vision from imagination into form. It takes hard work, grit, and determination to see a project through to the end. I am a stronger practitioner today because of the tools I learned at SWIHA, and I use them daily to support both my clients and myself.
The Practice: Where Healing Meets Action
Building my business has been a spiritual practice in itself. Every client I meet teaches me more about compassion, courage, and surrender. I’ve learned that healing is not linear and that true change begins when we feel safe enough to see ourselves clearly.
I work with women who have done years of self-work yet still feel stuck in cycles of burnout, over-functioning, or emotional shutdown. Through The Adora Method, I offer one-on-one guided hypnosis journeys and facilitate group hypno journeys—both online and in person—aligned with collective themes that are emerging. Through this work, women learn to regulate their nervous systems, trust their inner wisdom, and remember their innate worth.
My long-term vision is to create a membership-based community, so this work can be accessible to many.
A Message to Future Healers
Looking back, I can see how every step of my journey led me here. Every challenge, every teacher, and every breakthrough helped me embody the truth that healing is not something we chase—it is something we allow.
For a long time, I resisted the call to become a practitioner because I believed that having come from a traumatic childhood and young adulthood—and not having a formal degree—meant I wouldn’t be seen as credible. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Your story matters. Everything you’ve lived through and learned will only make you a better guide for the people who need your medicine.
Do your inner work. Be your first client. Integrate your experiences. The time has come to transform from the wounded healer into the embodied healer—and to commit fully to your soul’s mission.
To future SWIHA students who may be balancing work and family responsibilities during the program: prioritize your studies, remember your “why,” and build connections with classmates who can support you along the way. The journey is worth it.
Coming Full Circle
The Adora Method is my way of helping others return to the truth within themselves. It is an invitation to devotion, to remembrance, and to honoring the divine that has always been within. As a mom of two amazing kids with busy lives of their own, leaving the world better—and passing down generational blessings rather than generational wounds—fuels my “why” for this business.
I am deeply grateful for the tools, mentorship, and community SWIHA provided. This path has given me not just a career—it has given me a calling. My transformation has shown me that when we commit to our own healing, we create ripples that extend far beyond us.
My work is a reflection of that truth: the more we awaken, the more we remember who we really are. This is the work I’m doing for myself, for my children, and for every woman who is ready to step into her power and break the cycles that have held us back for generations.
