Today we’d like to introduce you to Jasmine Montoya.
Hi Jasmine, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I grew up as a first-generation American in a Colombian family and have overcome adversity, shame, trauma, and judgment.
At the age of 15, I was assaulted, with my perpetrator holding a gun to my head. From that moment on, my life was never the same. Living with PTSD as a result of the trauma and having limited access to mental health help, I struggled in my teenage years to feel safe in my body. I manifested my dream job with a multi-national corporation and moved to NYC in my twenties. I got married and had a son by 31. I had checked all the metaphorical boxes and had a life that looked great on paper. Life should have felt full, but there was an overwhelming, unsettled feeling festering inside.
It was my very toxic marriage that was the catalyst to my spiritual awakening and it activated this long road of healing and self-mastery. In the span of three years, I left my dream job, moved to California, filed for divorce and began raising my son as a single mom. During my time of healing, I went for a more holistic approach. I worked with energy healers, shamans and used meditation to do the journey within. It was only when I embarked on this magical journey of self-discovery did I realize I understood life more from an energetic standpoint. I understood that all the traumas I endured throughout my life impacted me in different ways and that did not mean I was broken or damaged it just meant I needed time to heal from them. I started to tune out the world, listen to my inner voice and live more intuitively. I became attuned as a Reiki Master, Crystal & Sound healer and Dharana Meditation Teacher. I’ve transmuted deep-rooted ancestral trauma within my own lineage and now guide others to do the same.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Nothing ever worth it comes smoothly. Re-connecting with myself as a spiritual being and claiming my gifts as tools to help guide others took some time to integrate. Even though the world around us is waking up, and we see a massive movement in spiritual awakening, energy healing, for the most part, is still a new word for many.
During the time I established myself as the Life Alchemist, I was also going through a very toxic divorce. This is not the kind of job you can punch in and out from and not be present. I needed to ensure I was allowing myself to grieve and honor my own healing process as I continued to guide and honor my clients. It was a delicate balance!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I consider myself a “Life Alchemist,” a guide on your path to self-actualization, self-love, and inner peace through a combination of energy healing, shamanism, sound therapy, and spiritual coaching.
I guide people who are seeking a different path than the one we’ve all been conditioned to follow. People who are looking to evolve, grow, and break out of old patterns.
I am known for my healing sessions, which include energy healing, connecting with your ancestors, and inner child healing, which further deepens the healing work.
Many of my clients are:
Women healing from a toxic relationship or marriage
Trauma Survivors
Mamas + Mamas to be – I highly recommend Reiki during pregnancy.
Those who suffer from stress and anxiety and are looking to complement other forms of treatment or try something new.
Anyone processing grief or big life changes and transitions
Veterans experiencing PTSD.
Cancer patients in search of pain management.
I am most proud of the work I am doing with women healing from toxic marriages and supporting those who are being dragged into the family court system which is just a continuation of the abuse they experienced during the marriage.
I think with healing; it’s about finding whose story you resonate with the most. My story is about a woman who chose to break free from societal norms, to go off the beaten path, walk away from everything she knew and thought she wanted. My story is about healing ancestral wounds, it’s about being a conscious mother who was dragged into family court by her toxic ex and who is raising a child as a single mother in an entirely new way then the previous generations have been raised. It’s about how I overcame soul-crushing traumas and found my inner peace.
I am someone who lives my life with passion and purpose, and I am grateful that the universe led me down this path. Everyone deserves inner peace and happiness. Everyone deserves to be healed. You just have to love yourself enough to do the work and trust those who can guide you along the way.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
I think my openness, rawness and realness regarding my own personal healing journey has been an important part of my success. If I can heal my trauma so can you.
