About The Healers

Pamela Schlade I graduated from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 1992. Upon completion of my training I worked as Administrator for the school while maintaining a small client base before relocating to Minneapolis/St. Paul in 1995. During my seven-year tenure in the Twin Cities I worked full time as an independent Massage Therapist, providing relief from everyday stress, auto and work related injuries. During that time I began to energetically feel my client's pain. In 1998, I made a commitment to explore this experience by attending the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in Miami, Florida while continuing my work in Minnesota. As my process deepened, my sensitivity to energy and gift of knowing intensified. In June of 2002, upon graduation from the four-year program, I felt guided to move to Taos, New Mexico.

I have found that my abilities, along with my strong connection to the Christ energy and special vibration of Source, bring spiritual depth to a session. I utilize the healing potential of vibration and frequency when addressing many physical dis-eases. My clear and focused relationship with Intention helps me to hone in on a client's needs while surrendering to the "bigger picture". I also have unique ability to track a client's process. Using my knowing, I assist clients in developing a deeper awareness of their own healing.

I have an innate ability to create grids, a skill that has been developed and fostered over many lifetimes. This allows me to protect client's from unwanted energies, if needed. My relationship with the elements and ability to work with the Void energy provides a powerful way to influence change on all levels.

My psychic abilities surfaced when I was five. Early experiences brought me a sense of separation and isolation from other people. I was afraid of being different. For years I tried unsuccessfully to shut off my gifts. At 18, I had my first face-to-face encounter with an unusual energy. That experience increased my resolve not to see, feel or hear anything that others didn't.

I have an intense curiosity. This lead me to experiment with many different ways of making a living. I've worked as a sous chef, DJ, psych tech and built props for an opera company. Prior to committing to the Pryanta work I spent eight years as a Unix Systems Administrator. During that time I had an increasing awareness that I was not doing what I'm meant to do on this planet. Until I consciously chose to embrace my gifts I had no clear sense of direction.

Stepping into who I truly am is one of the most powerful and difficult choices I've made. Since then I've followed the shaman's path, exploring the archetype of "wounded healer." My shamanic abilities surfaced in the course of my own shadow work and continue to expand. I've worked extensively to transmute my wounding into tools. My familiarity with the "darker" parts of human experience blessed me with a profound spirit connection and expansive compassion. This is a continuing journey for me. There is no great arrival, only an ongoing commitment to be present and be of service.

One of my stronger gifts is the ability to perceive far beyond what is normally visible. My vision allows me to see the interconnectedness between realities and people as multi-dimensional beings. My kinesthetic abilities complement the visual information I receive. They expand my awareness of a client's process. I am also a medium and an animal communicator.
