She started playing music when she was eight and singing has always been part of her life. This organically evolved into combining the vibrations of sounds and words in her healing sessions. Her soulful music is inspired by Kirtans and a touch of Jim Morrison mixed with fairy dust. Over the years, her patients have usually found her through word of mouth and recommendations from people whose life and health has been uplifted by her gift of healing. Divalia has traveled extensively to various parts of the world where she experimented with several healing methods. She recently found the inspiration and courage to write about her personal journey towards becoming a healer. Her book Divalia's Imago, Flutter to Higher Ground and Success, was released in April of 2011. She simultaneously released the music album Imago, which is related to her book.

I grew up in KY, TN, MI, and NY. I got thrown out of SUNY Purchase for drug use and failing grades. I kind of graduated from Hunter College 3 years later with a double BA in History and Psychology. (I never filed for my diploma.) I considered attending grad school but studied martial arts and Zen instead. I earned black belts in both Aikido and Tai Chi Chuan and studied other arts less seriously. I read voraciously and can hold my own on most topics, except maybe math. I’ve washed dishes, worked in a warehouse, spent 4 years at IBM, managed and then bought for a chain of independent bookstores, been a personal trainer specializing in mind-body relationships, started and closed a dojo, founded a nonprofit, worked with high need kids, and started the Temple of the Circus Monkey. As an adult, I’ve lived in NYC, Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco. I like Asian girls, sex, motorcycles, rum, cigars, eating out, Coca-Cola, hard boiled detective stories, bad movies, and game shows. I have the attention span of a teenage gnat.

Most people miss out on the warmth, depth, richness and EXPERIENCE of LIVING with God. I like to encourage people to expect more from God than what tradition or religions teaches. God wants a deep personal relationship with US His family. He is not standing off in a far Heaven with a pitch fork in one hand and a hammer in the other, waiting to hammer your head or poke you when you mess up. God is love, loves ultimate gift is to GIVE to the object of its love, YOU. God wants you to live on earth as you will in Heaven. (Mat 6:10) He wants you to COME AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, If there is any flaws in you He will gently convict (not condemn) you to change them. I want to woo you to FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD! If you were to die tonight do you know where you would go? The Bible says All have sinned and the result of sin is death. But WHOEVER calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
