I have spent the first 35 years of my professional life in the design and construction industry, that has served me well. My awakeing into the 5d level of consciousness started with the Covid outbreak in 2020. This event has changed my world, like so many others. I have no western medicine training in healing, it has been my GOD given intuition that has healed me many times.   As a child, I had many illnesses - mono, pneumonia, countless ear infections, strep throat, appendectomy. I was alos a clutzy, really skinny kid. I also received an ADD diagnosis at the age of 2, in 1971, which was unheard of at that time. I had never felt good in my body, which was covered in eczema, that did not go away even with all the steroid creams prescribed.   My first major health crisis occurred when I was in the 1st grade. I woke up one morning and could not walk. There was no pain, and no feeling in the my leags. My parents took me to the Children's Hospital in Boston, where I was given an number of tests. Afterwards, I overheard the doctors telling my parents that I had MS and would never walk again. I had no idea what those initials meant, but knew that it didn't sound good.   My only solution to overcome this was to take my Nana's previous advice, which was to pray to God when I needed help. Every night, I would pray to walk again, telling God that I would do what ever he asked of me. Each morning, I would jump out of bed, hoping my prayers would be answered. One morning they were answered. I jumped out of bed and was able to stand. I walked into the kitchen, ate my breakfast and went to school in my favorite dress. I knew my life was not going to be lived out sitting on a couch all day. This experience taught me early on about the power to heal one's self.   I am current;y a Level One practitioner of QHHT - Delores Cannon's Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. I see clients in my Woburn MA office, where I can facilitiate others on their healing journey. My secrets to success include maintaining a high raw vegan diet, excercising and meditating daily, to not only live my best life but also to be a clean conduit to help others on their journey.

Diana Cantu Kawas is a licensed psychologist, holistic coach, and spiritual leader known for catalyzing transformative change by helping clients turn fear into passion, power, and success. She works with creative leaders to unlock deeper layers of their true self-identity for success. Before embracing holistic healing, Diana built a dynamic career as an editorial director, fashion stylist, and marketing professional, where she developed a keen creative vision and expertise in personal branding. Despite being perceived as highly confident, her early life was shaped by the pressure to excel—driven by high expectations and a quest for self-love and acceptance—which led to struggles with feeling not good enough, self-doubt, perfectionism, and the burden of wearing a mask to hide her true self. Determined to break free from these limiting patterns, Diana embarked on a lifelong mission to live authentically and reclaim her personal power. She earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2008 and a master’s degree in Executive and Personal Coaching from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona (ACTP Accredited) in 2011. Integrating modern psychology and neuroscience with ancient healing practices, she developed a comprehensive approach that weaves together modalities such as mindfulness, pranayama, energy work, NLP, yin yoga, quantum meditation, biodecoding, sacred geometry, and spiritual alchemy.
