During the July 2006 heat wave, I was beginning my three-month maternity leave from the Chopra Center. I walked into Deepak’s office to say goodbye.“See you in three months,” I said. “I don’t think you’ll be coming back,” he said with a smile. “Of course I am,” I replied, giving him a big hug. It wasn’t until I held my daughter, Stella, in my arms that I knew the truth of Deepak’s words. Up until this point, my work as a teacher at the Chopra Center had been the main focus of my life. Now I could not imagine missing one precious moment with my daughter.

Over the next few weeks, I reflected on how I could honor my love for my daughter and for my life’s work as a teacher and healer. Through meditation and journaling, I realized I didn’t have to sacrifice anything — I could have both. This was the birth of Tranquility, a company that allowed me to make my own schedule so that I could be with my daughter and continue to share ancient wisdom and healing.

Tranquility has blossomed over the years and is now an integrative healing center and school nestled in a beautiful garden setting off the Coast Highway, next door to Pannikin Coffee & Tea in Encinitas. With its sweet healing cottages, babbling brook, koi pond, and brilliant flowers and trees, this amazing center provides a sacred and peaceful environment for rejuvenation and healing.

At Tranquility, our mission is to help people connect to their life’s purpose and undergo the healing, transformation, and empowerment that will lead to the fulfillment of that purpose. Tranquility offers a unique approach through individual healing sessions that include life coaching, Reiki, Raindrop technique, CranioSacral therapy, massage, cleanses and much more. In addition, Tranquility offers transformational group workshops and retreats. Our next Retreat “The Secrets of Ayurveda and Alchemy” is in May on the beautiful island of Maui. I have the pleasure of co-teaching this transformational retreat with davidji-Vedic Master & Dean of Chopra Center University.

In 2009 Tranquility expanded to include The Olivier School of Integrative Healing, which now provides training in integrative healing through personal transformation combined with Reiki, crystals, sound, light, essential oils and Yinki (the blend of yin yoga & Reiki).

The Olivier School of Integrative Healing is founded on the wisdom gained from my own journey: in order to authentically share with and serve others, I had to walk the talk myself, meaning I had to engage in my own healing process that would teach me how to truly show up for and love myself before I could guide others to do the same.

As I have worked with people over the years, I’ve noticed that those who are drawn to this type of healing either come into it to help others and realize how their own personal healing can be supported, or as they go through their own personal healing, they feel inspired to be trained to work with others. That was the case with the four other Tranquility healers, Kelowna Giuliano, Mary Kitaji, Adrienne Hodges and Tracy Moran. This is what they said about their experience;

Kelowna Giuliano “After spending 10 years in competitive gymnastics, 6 years working in physical therapy and 15 years as a massage therapist, I was familiar with physical aspects of healing. During my personal transformation with Alisha and the Olivier School of Integrative Healing I have experienced profound spiritual and emotional healing. I now have the ability and confidence to facilitate others in their healing processes with a new level of awareness and understanding.”

Mary Kitaji became a Reiki Master after her father passed away (2006) from a disease. She left the corporate world and finished massage school. She is now a full time healer and wishes to give the gift of healing to others. “Going through the personal transformation work with Alisha has helped me heal my own fears and thought patterns. I did this life changing work so I can be of better service to others in my community; by doing what I love the most providing Massage and Reiki.”

Adrienne Hodges had been working in the corporate world for over a decade when she made the transition to full-time healer. “After working with Alisha and attending the Olivier School of Integrative Healing I was able to re-connect with my authentic self and thus my own passion for the healing arts. This led to a career change with the inspiration to support and serve others in their quest for healing and happiness. Tranquility provides an atmosphere that is gentle, nurturing and loving – it’s always a beautiful experience!

Likewise, Tracy resigned from a traditional career path to offer her services as a healer. “Knowing first-hand how overwhelmed many moms become,” Tracy said, “I wanted to provide a way for them to feel nurtured and centered. The personal transformation work I did with Alisha, along with Reiki, Yinki and Raindrop Technique have had a profound impact on my well-being, and I love sharing that with others.”

The Tranquility family of healers and teachers are blessed to live their passion and our honored to support you in living yours.
