Conversations with Denise Alamo

Today we’d like to introduce you to Denise Alamo

Hi Denise, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
In 2019, my biggest fear came true. I was medically diagnosed with fibroids. The doctor strongly recommended a hysterectomy, but I knew this was not the correct path for me. This news left me feeling deeply ungrounded, hopeless and devastated. With one trip to the doctor, my life suddenly changed. Determined Not to have surgery, I began a quest to eliminate the fibroids and put my power back into my own hands.

For the next few weeks, I became consumed with getting my health back on track in a way that felt aligned and nourishing for me. I started scouring the internet for holistic and alternative ways to heal myself and, most importantly, keep my uterus. I found the usual suggestions like diet change and exercise, but felt I needed to go deeper. One day, freshly out of meditation, my intuition said to search on YouTube. This is where I found a video about sound healing with crystal bowls. Now, I’d always been into crystals but never heard of them used in this particular way. This new way of healing the body with sound sparked hope back into my heart and mind. I just knew it was for me. I purchased my first crystal sound bowl specifically tuned to the sacral chakra and played it daily, along with adopting a healthy lifestyle that incorporated mind, body, and spirit practices.

My healing journey began with an eye-opening diagnosis, one that propelled me into the healing arts. I put my power back into my own hands by learning and practicing modalities that heal and nourish my entire self.
The results have been amazing. A few years later, I became a Certified Sound Healing Practitioner and Reiki Master. My business, Making Life Golden, is tailored to helping people heal holistically and remember their true power.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My healing journey was certainly not a smooth one. From the very beginning, I was delivered a heavy diagnosis by a new doctor with terrible bedside manners and an unprofessional office staff to match. My doctor disregarded my concerns, which made me feel unseen and unheard. Shortly after my diagnosis, the pandemic happened, and everything was on lockdown. I couldn’t get a second opinion, go to any alternative healing appointments, or get any support. I felt completely alone and abandoned. I was literally going through a physical, mental and emotional crisis while trying to navigate a changing world. It was extremely challenging for some time.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My previous career was a healthcare professional. I originally went to school for nursing and held various positions like certified pharmacy technician and microbiologist. Even though those jobs were great, I felt a pull towards something greater.

After experiencing illness which sparked a spiritual awakening and forging a path back to wellness, I found myself in the Alternative and Holistic Health Services sector. I created my business and offerings around the intention and knowing that yes you can heal yourself. Sound healing, in particular has been a big game changer. I specialize in helping people relax into the present moment & tap into their innate power & potential so they can know what is truly possible for them. I’m known for intuitively using crystals to aid my process. I also channel crystal energy and incorporate that into my work which puts a unique spin on what I do. I am proud that I embraced the calling to leave corporate and pursue my passion for spiritual and healing work to assist and empower others to lead a life of balance and wholeness.

Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
When finding a mentor, always go with who resonates with you the most. Someone who has gone through the trenches, successfully made it through the darkness, and is not just willing, but eager to share with you and teach their process is a great starting point. This will empower you and keep you motivated.
If you come across someone who shares a personal journey that resonates with you, sparking a feeling that you’re not alone and that help is within reach, follow that intuitive nudge. Your intuition is a powerful guide, leading you to the mentor you’re meant to learn from.
