Mitch Marchand, P.Eng. – Healthy Home Consultant Specializing in Electromagnetics

Mitch Marchand is currently studying to become a certified Building Biology Environmental Consultant (BBEC) with the Institute for Bau-Biologie and Ecology. Mitch plans to combine his background in electrical engineering with the BBEC certification to inspire and educate people on the methods and best practices for creating healthy homes, offices and schools. By identifying, assessing, and mitigating or eliminating harmful electromagnetic emissions in their indoor environment, Mitch hopes to help clients create home environments that are both healthy and healing.

Everyday there seems to be greater interest in the harmful effects of electromagnetics, cellphones, wifi, electropollution, electrosmog, dirty power, smart meters, and CFL lights through media reports, conflicting scientific reports, differing safety standards throughout the world, and changing government and world organizations’ stands on electromagnetics. Everyone wants to live healthy, but because all of this information can be overwhelming, Mitch believes he can provide a valuable service to help education, measure and mitigate the harmful effects of electromagnetic emissions.

Kevin Marjoram – Shaman and Shamanic Energy Healing

Kevin Marjoram has been professionally certified by The Four Winds Society – Light Body School in Luminous Healing and Energy Medicine Program. Kevin has been performing energy medicine for three years. He has traveled to Peru multiple times to work with the shaman in both the high Andes Mountains and the Amazon.

The work performed is at the energetic level where energy that is intrusive to the body is removed. This energy if kept in the body could manifest into health issues caused by daily life stresses. Extraction processes are used to remove the energies from the body’s Luminous Energy Field. Shamanic journeying is used to visit past incidents that have created life traumas that manifest into the present in the form of fears and anxieties. Ceremonies with fire and prayer bundles are used to bring individuals or groups back into universal balance. Divination stone readings are used to vision the obstacles in our lives and work to remove them to change our destiny. In addition, Shamanic processes are taught through the Dying Consciously Program to help prepare our loved ones to cross over to the next world. All of this energy work enables a person to live more fully and consciously.
