I became a student of Mada Eliza Dalian in 2011 when I experienced a 10 day intensive that she does yearly. I came to this intensive wondering if I was crazy and what the point of it was (I didn't think doing spiritual work would do much for me because my problems were too big and these people probably sat around meditating and eating lettuce all day).
But something in me said GO.
I had been on psychiatric medications (for ADHD, depression, anxiety) for 15 years and had been searching in vain for most of that time for a way to get off them. I felt there was something seriously wrong with me and I was looking for answers. I visited many healers, doctors, tried many treatments, many diets and read so many self-help books.
Everything I tried gave me that initial surge of hope. Some things I did helped but nothing I did created the change I was really hoping for. Also all the explanations for ADHD, depression, anxiety, bi-polar... although initially validating, ultimately none of the explanations seemed really true or real for me.

Those 10 days with Mada actually shocked me and changed me. One change is that I stopped taking my medication and have never taken them again since.
This was a big deal at the time but looking back it was just the beginning. I felt stronger and was able to function without the medication but I still struggled with depression and anxiety. I then had to work through all the issues and emotions that the medications had been suppressing. This time I had to face things without the comfort of the pill to numb or pick me up.
As I continued my inner work guided by Mada, she taught me how to use the Dalian Method (DM). This became the main technique that would unravel me, in the best way. I never experienced something so deeply internal, so powerful, and so real.
Using DM things just snowballed and improved for me drastically. After a while I stopped thinking of this inner work as a way to get rid of pain and problems. I realized that I was a seeker. Seeking expansion of consciousness.
Flash forward to 2015 when Mada announced her new training program for Dalian Method™ facilitators; I jumped at the chance to work closely with her and learn even more about DM. I learned more than I could have imagined, but truly, it has become bigger than any technique or method, I realized my passion is learning about the human condition and the joy that facilitating self-awareness and consciousness brings me.
Today I offer private sessions and lead workshops and classes: I facilitate the Dalian Method™ and other tools that facilitate healing and self-awareness such as active meditations. I work with children, teens, and adults.
I specialize in:
Sexual Trauma
PTSD
Depression & Anxiety
Religious, Family, and Societal Wounds & Conditionings
I share these tools for those seeking the root of their issues and wanting to truly know themselves and their potential. So many techniques and therapies are available and they all have their wisdom and purpose. But for many people, such as myself, many of these approaches fail to satisfy the thirst for Truth and Expansion of Consciousness. This is where I feel the Dalian Method™ can be of tremendous benefit.
PS. I was wrong, they don't just sit around and meditate and eat lettuce :) BUT meditation (witnessing) is now a major part of my inner work and my everyday life.
