Christy Snow is a human energy system repair person as taught to her by her husband Jeff Harris, the Cherokee White Priest. First as his student (1987), then as his wife since 1990, Christy has been taught the body’s etheric energy system in the oral traditional way. A healthy and whole energy system provides a strong foundation for wellness and healing; an integral part of holistic health.

Using her own skills as a clairsentient with her traditional knowledge of the system, Christy repairs damaged areas in the bio-energy which can contribute to physical disease, illness and pain. During a session, the integrity of the aura is checked; major chakras are cleared and/or repaired; and the meridian system is cleared and rewired if necessary. The appointments generally last about 90 minutes and notes of the session go home with you. Book appointments directly with Christy at DesArt Studio, (520) 682-8488.
