STATEMENT OF INTENT Healing comes both from within an individual and from a Higher Source. My role is simply that of being a vessel or a facilitator. My deepest intention in this role is to offer opportunities for individuals to experience their healing in the best way for them.   Sometimes this happens dramatically, when people in workshops or individual sessions find that they are transformed and empowered beyond their wildest dreams. Tears and laughter may accompany their desired release and shifting.   Other times healing happens more subtly, as clients experience deep relaxation and begin to feel happier than they've felt in a long time.   At Laughing Cherub Unlimited, I hope to honor the deep inner wisdom within each individual. With warmth, light, joy and smilezzz, Mary Elizabeth Raines
