I am so inspired today after last night teaching the first Begin Within Teleclass. I myself have suffered from sexual trauma, my first sexual experience was not consensual, I didn’t want it to happen, I was only 14!
My whole life has been effected by that one incident so many years ago. In pursuit of deeper healing, I have studied a lot of different approaches to help myself and REALLY heal, what I have learned from all this, is that the MOST POWERFUL place to go for healing IS WITHIN, Inside of us is a well spring of resources to Heal at The Speed Of Light. I created The Alva Method Of Empowerment as a way to give the power back to the indivdual, so we may LEARN HOW to heal ourselves.
Last night’s first class, is a testament, why I do what I do every day, and am so inspired by this participants experience and how it benefit her, I am so inspired I asked her if I could share, and she told me she wishes to also eventually work with women IN THEIR BODY, and help them, empower them in this way.
THIS IS INTIMACY, THIS IS HEALING… comment down below and share with us how this brave and connected woman’s heartfelt words, benefit you.
TESTIMONIAL: “I am feeling so grateful and inspired from last night’s FIRST Begin Within Teleclass…sharing what one woman emailed me this morning of her experience. I guided the women on the call to connect deeply INSIDE with their intuitive body wisdom. Everyone was asked to lay down in E3 Breath posture, where I guided us to first created intentions for the class, so we may get out of the way and be open to RECEIVE our Intuitive body’s wisdom. And also Heal At The Speed Of Light… and this is what one participant wrote me this morning,
I am feeling blessed from attending the first Begin Within: Experience Deeper Intimacy and Body Connection class tonight. No wonder I go into my head and out of my body (dissociation), tonight helped me to realize why. There was a lot of sexual abuse that I remembered tonight that had been stored in my cells. Mom, who died last March, was seen as an image when asked about past lovers. She was one of my first abusers (incest). I thought I had forgiven her and realized as we got to the thighs that I had memories stored there and that my hips were tight and that I had disconnected from my buttocks because of the forced incest.
I think that I am not the only one who may struggle because we think we have to forgive to be spiritual and still suffer the after effects of sexual abuse and PTSD.
I saw many images tonight. When dealing with the ankles, I saw images of the first sexual abuse. I saw myself as an infant in a diaper, being pulled down by the ankles, diaper removed, hips pushed apart, like our E3 Breathing posture tonight, and having my diaper removed. I was abducted by my folk’s landlord who kidnapped me out of the crib.
When I got to my heart, I burst out in tears. I held so much grief that I was unaware of because I spend most of my time in my head to avoid it. I am willing and ready to deal with it. I realize now, why I tend to stay in my head. I plan to do the recording over and over to try and release emotions stored in my body and find happiness. I am going to download the recording of tonight’s call and use it.
I was shocked at how much grief and sadness was held in my heart. No wonder I have left my body and lived in my head. My ultimate therapy is body-centered like this.
Thank you.
I have had talk therapy since I was 16 years old. If talk therapy would have healed my present situation, at 61, I would have been healed and much more, Michelle.
It was not so. I need this kind of therapy, through my body. The trauma happened before I even could talk. That is why I feel your work is so valuable and this Begin Within Teleclass.
If talk therapy was that effective, I would have been healed many times over. Even my energy psychologist wants me to experience therapy through my body.
I would be well and absolutely perfect if talk therapy would have gotten me to the place that I needed to be. Please know that i have had therapy since I was 16 years old and I am now 61 years old, this body therapy, Alva Method of Empowerment is what I need, this form of therapy through the body.
I go to therapy 3x a week because PTSD influences my life so much.
I have always known that remaining in my head, never helped me to heal…
Being in our heads processing trauma over and over, counselor after counselor has kept me repeating my story, further repeating and empowering my story as a victim. I needed this class today.”

Thank you Michelle. From the first time I felt your energy through your voice and work, I felt a kinship, like you were my tribe that I had been looking for. I look forward to the day that we meet. You do attract the ones that are attracted to who you are. Thank you for being exactly who you are and for having the courage to do the work that your soul came here to do.
I have gone as far as I can with talk therapy and I know that since trauma happened to my body, it is necessary to go through my body through healing. I am not afraid of having other people read my story, if it can spare one soul from years of therapy with no results to show for it. I am here to help other women.
I hope other professionals recognize that staying in your head doesn‚Äôt give you results we could get when it comes to sexual trauma. Perhaps it is a place to start but it can’t heal you. It helps your head, but I stayed in my head. It helped me to avoid the pain and yet it really didn’t. I kept repeating my story, thinking perhaps the next therapist would have answers that would heal me. It only served to strengthen the story and victimhood . That never served me.
As my energy psychologist said it only empowers my STORY. I need to go within and stop talking about what happened to me and heal through my body. Thank you for the opportunity to do so through this teleclass.
Much love to you. -SD”
