Greetings,
My name is Carol Cupitt Parks. For as long as I can remember, I have been sensitive to and interested in the energies that surround and permeate our physical world.
My awareness turned to passion in the early 1980’s when I studied parapsychology with Joe Slate, Ph.D., author of Aura Energy and several other books on metaphysical science. I pursued careers in television and public relations, all the while informally practicing aura scanning/repair and developing my intuitive abilities by reading for friends and co-workers. In 1996, I started massage therapy training; on my first day of school, I stated that massage therapy would be my springboard to a full-time practice of the healing energy work that is my soul’s calling. That year, I took my first training in Reiki, and in 1998, I became a Reiki Master. In the following years, I developed a successful therapeutic bodywork practice, based largely on treatments combining massage and energy healing, and eventually opened my own studio, Green Chi. In 2010, my prediction came true: I transformed my business into a full-time, energy-based healing practice, and Heart of the Spiral was born.
Along the way, I discovered great delight in sharing my knowledge by presenting workshops on the human energy system, Reiki, crystal and gemstone energies, vocal toning, and other energy healing techniques. I have taught massage therapists, yoga teachers, nurses, and the generally curious. My handbook, Simple Radiance: A Basic Guide to Healing the World, explains the philosophy behind my healing work and offers some easy techniques to use on oneself and others. I have become increasingly passionate about the power of sound to effect wellbeing, and I joined the Sound Healers Association in January 2013. In 2016, I added vibrational essences to my alternative “medicine chest,” becoming a certified Star Essences Practitioner, and I launched my own line of flower and gemstone essences under the Moss Island Alchemy label in 2018.
A native of Pensacola, Florida, I currently live in Little Falls, New York, with my husband, Richard, and a varying number of cats. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of West Florida and am an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. I am also a mesa carrier in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of Universal Shamanism.
Light-heartedly,
Carol
