I am Desiree Dixon Smith, 

your guide on this transformative journey towards holistic well-being and spiritual enlightenment.

My passion for energy healing and spiritual exploration began years ago when I embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery during a decade-long membership with The Ausar Auset Society, a Pan African Spiritual Organization, from 1993-2003. Imbibing the wisdom of this sacred community has deeply influenced my approach to spiritual exploration and healing. 

​

In 2013, I received my Reiki Level 3 attunement from Rev. Linda "La" Boyd with the International Center for Reiki Training - Usui Reiki Ryoho. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of my dedicated path towards facilitating healing and empowerment for others. 

In 2015 I discovered The RMA Mystery School, and studied for several years under the guidance of Joy Gardner, where I delved deep into a multitude of energy healing modalities.  Under Joy's guidance, I evolved from a "reiki practitioner" to an "energy worker" learning a plethora of healing modalities, many of which I offer on this website.

In between all of my various studies,  I've embraced the teachings of the Divine Feminine and participated in several Sacred Womb Circles, as taught by Queen Afua.

As a seeker of knowledge and growth, I've taken  numerous courses taught by the esteemed Iyanla Vanzant, enriching my understanding of personal empowerment and spiritual evolution. 

You can always find me involved in some sort of workshop or class for self-development, as I believe that we are never done learning.

​

My journey with crystals spans almost three decades, where I have studied and worked with these powerful energetic allies. This extensive experience allows me to infuse crystal wisdom into my holistic approach to healing and well-being.

​

Since 2018, I have been guiding seekers on their spiritual journey through New Moon Workshops and Meditations. These sessions are a testament to my passion for empowering individuals, focusing on goal setting, visualization, and manifestation techniques.

Based in the vibrant city of Atlanta, Georgia, I am a proud parent to three incredible adult children and doting grandparent to two beautiful grandchildren. Beyond my spiritual pursuits, I find joy in the simple pleasures of life – listening to live music, dancing, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and nutrition, and basking in the tranquility of nature, particularly at the ocean.

​
