A little more about Arrole, Our energy healer
Arrole Lawrence is a Saulteaux healer and band member of the Keeseekoowenin First Nation located in Elphinstone, Manitoba. Over 20 years of practice, he has worked at many First Nations healing centres across south and central Ontario, where he has performed thousands of healing sessions.
The healing centres have given him extensive experience in addressing physical disease, injury rehabilitation, as well as dealing with issues of a mental and emotional nature. Healing has required development of skills sets for addressing physical and emotional trauma, addiction recovery, ancestor healing, the breaking of spiritual agreements and helping clients connect to the heart and spirit so they can live a life in communication with spirit. As an indigenous healer, Arrole helps individuals to quickly resolve, crippling physical ailments, patterns of depression, grief and trauma.
Clients seeking healing are asked to come forward, exchange tobacco for the healing they will be receiving and be prepared to provide permission for the healing work. Once permission is granted, you will be guided inward by closing your eyes, deep breathing, then connecting to the heart.
Once the connection is made, clients are guided through their physical and spiritual systems to address, trauma, drama, fear, pain, suffering and spiritual fragmentation. The work is extensive and so much can be healed in an hour. The goal is always to return the individual to health, wellness and balance for the highest possible outcome.
