Whitney Bernabei took the traditional route in life. She went to college, landed a job in cushy corporate America, attended the happy hours, and adhered to the American template for "success."
It never felt right, yet she played along. That's what she was supposed to do.
But after years of facing debilitating injuries that modern medicine couldn't solve, Whitney had had enough. She knew there had to be another way to alleviate her physical, mental, and emotional suffering.
The solution? Alternative medicine.
Not only did this style of treatment cure her physical ailments, it also led her to the live in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, start a business in Portsmouth around energy healing, and help Whitney feel, look, and think the best that she's ever had.
In this conversation from Empowered Aura, her energy healing studio in downtown Portsmouth, Whitney and I discuss the following:
