Meet Your Guides for this Immersive Journey
Claire Sangster
Blending advanced John F. Barnes Myofascial Release, myofascial yoga, Reiki, and intuitive energy work, Claire creates spaces
that feel safe, spacious, and attuned. Her trauma-sensitive approach honours the pace of the nervous system, allowing participants to soften patterns of holding and return to themselves with care.
Claire brings over two decades of experience in bodywork, energy healing, yoga and spiritual practice. Her work is rooted in presence—gently guiding others through touch and mindful communication into deeper connection with their bodies, their breath, and their own inner knowing. In her work, Claire offers more than techniques—she offers deep presence; a chance to pause, listen, and reconnect with the body’s quiet intelligence.
Claire's facilitation supports not just reduction of symptom patterns, but personal restoration and spiritual alignment. For those ready to deepen their practice from the inside out, Claire holds a grounded, sacred container for that unfolding.
Deborah Epstein
Deborah is a highly skilled MFR therapist with many years of hands-on experience in the healing arts. A former instructor for John F. Barnes’ MFR Seminars, she was invited to work as staff therapist at Therapy on the Rocks in Sedona, AZ.
Rooted in her initiation into the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of cross-cultural shamanism, Deborah's gift is holding safe, sacred space—she intuitively channels healing wisdom, inviting clients into a deeper connection with their body’s innate intelligence to help them reclaim their wholeness.
Deborah’s path weaves together shamanic initiations in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of Cross Cultural Shamanism, transformational-leadership training, energy modalities (Reiki, ThetaHealing), Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, core-belief work and creative expression through art. She’s held sacred circles, in person and creative online programs and coaching for groups and individuals, she also serves her clients with intuitive, channeled readings.
As founder of the Cosmic Dreaming Lodge in Sedona, she welcomes seekers from around the globe to Heal, Dream, and Create in a container designed for their healing to naturally unfurl.
