My husband and I started to see Sandy during a potentially stressful time in our lives. For about one year, we went to her for intuitive counseling and meditation. The techniques we learned have continued to help us greatly in all aspects of our lives, particularly with decision making and with reducing stress and worry.

Sandy tapes all our sessions and now we listen to the tapes regularly as a refresher. If something is particularly troubling us and we need another session, we just get a "tune-up" and it helps us with the situation.

Knowing, practicing with, learning from, having sessions, with Sandy... I'm not sure what to call it... has been transformative to the way we think, solve problems, raise our kids, interact with others, and even how we view the world. I used to be quite a worrier and now I feel more courage and more calm, ready to face any challenge that might come my way. I can even do that with joy! As for my husband, he handles work stress now with a tremendous sense of calm.

Sandy is warm, compassionate, incredibly insightful and has that rare ability to tap into the core of what we need, and always draws upon the perfectly appropriate spiritual and meditative tools to face those needs. What is perhaps even more rare is Sandy's gift in being able to make such a strong connection with us and actually teach us how to use these tools. We have only met Mike a couple of times, and he has been equally outstanding.  K.

I first came to CFIA from a recommendation from a friend. There was a point in my life I had been diagnosed with everything from addiction, bipolar disorder, major chronic depression, and psychosis. I had attempted suicide, been hospitalized in lock down mental wards multiple times for extended periods, been jailed, and removed from society and placed in controlled recovery communities multiple times. I had received psycho-therapy, group therapy, most available anti-psychotic drugs, and most mood stabilizers on the market. I hadn't even turned 22.

Finally, I reached another point where I was doing everything I was supposed to. I was no longer a danger to others or a "menace to society." I was a functioning member of society with all the appropriate degrees, I was respected in my community among peers and professionals, following all the doctors’ orders, taking all my medication, and attending all the group therapy meetings possible. I was sober, praying, meditating, and studying everything I could to try to get some kind of reign on my “out of control” emotions and thoughts with very little, short periods, of minor relief. I was holding on tight just trying not to cause any more harm and be a "good" person. Still, I was suffering, in pain, living in my own hell. I hadn't even turned 25.

To be doing everything appropriately and to still be suffering and medically determined mentally ill was a different kind of low than I ever experienced. To be taking all the medication in amounts that caused physical sickness and physical danger to my body and it still not work, left me feeling defeated without hope. I had explored and remained diligent in my attention to my mental health, self-help, and spirituality. The best I could do, though, was learn how to "hold it together". I could not even dent the surface of my suffering, however. I was looking ahead to a life of suffering, psychosis, and pain. I hadn't even turned 27.

That is how I came to CFIA... Broken... Searching for anything... Any kind of help... Any kind of hope. CFIA taught me about the subtle energies at the root of my out of control thoughts and emotions. It taught me simple, practical exercises, and meditative techniques to help me find relief from these emotions and thoughts. It taught me how to take back control over emotions and thoughts that had even medical professionals telling me would at best be something I would have to learn to live with and at worst put me back in an institution, or kill me. I never imagined I would ever find complete freedom, I was only looking for help. Today, I can honestly say that I feel more empowered in my relationship with my emotions and thoughts than most, even people who have never even found it necessary to seek help with their emotions and thoughts. CFIA has brought me more than relief it has brought me to an awareness and levity I never in my wildest hopes thought was possible... And I just turned 30.  I still have my whole life to look forward to and it is amazing. I am at peace. I am loving life.  GS

For the past two years I have been taking classes, and attending personal sessions and meditations with Mike and Sandy Helvey, through Center for Intuitive Awareness. I started out going to Mike and Sandy because I really needed help understanding why I was feeling what I was feeling. My day to day living was full of intense emotion and confusion and these feelings did not seem to fit with what I was actually experiencing in the world.  Mike and Sandy have helped me identify why I feel these confusing emotions and how I can release and move through them in a way that is loving, peaceful, and effective. By learning about the subtle, and not so subtle energies, that we are all surrounded by in our daily lives, I now have the ability to cope with the energies that have negatively affected me.  I am proactive in maintaining a healthy, more positive sense of well-being.

I have tools that I can use in any situation to help me feel safe. 

I can clear negative irritating emotions, and feel more comfortable moving through the world.

I feel more empowered now, than ever before, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I continue to take classes and have sessions with Mike and Sandy, and am unbelievably grateful for all of their guidance and help.

It has been life changing for me.  C. S.

Thank you for introducing me to the incredible possibilities. 
My life is so much better, and my whole family benefits.  I receive messages, filter them and listen to the ones truly meant for me. 
I feel so free. It’s like you gave me permission to break from all of my baggage and preconceptions. It’s like the sun came out again.  I’m continuously so thankful for everything you’ve taught me.  I can’t imagine what the past six months would have been like without your help. 
You have opened my eyes in a way I never knew was possible, I see life in a completely different way. I’m now living in the moment.  I’m becoming a more gracious person.  The journey is magnificent, and you’re a spectacular tour guide...   E.
