Denise Knutson
About Denise Knutson:
Years ago, I experienced a very serious car accident which caused many unresolved and serious medical issues of all kinds for over 10 years. I was on dozens of medications and I was seeing many different specialists from around the Valley. Through a profound experience while meditating, I had a miraculous recovery of my physical body and through this self healing I was awakened to my path as an energy healer. I now help and assist people on their healing journey doing private healing sessions in-person and remote and group sound and energy healing experiences.
