Mini Bio:

Jordan Janisson:

At a young age, I was able to see energy and sense people’s emotions but I didn’t realize that this was abnormal. My grandmother had the same gift and taught me how to be in touch with it. When she passed away, I lost the only person I knew who was able to teach me how to grow my abilities so I tucked it away. I then spent my adolescence advancing my scientific knowledge of technology and decided to pursue web design. I launched my first company at the age of 17. Within four years I was developing websites for prestigious brands such as Chanel, Moet & Chandon, and the Dubai Mall.

The stress began to take its toll on my mind and body, even vacations were stressful due to the amount of work I was “not doing”.  I knew I had to do something about it.

Around this time I was introduced to the concept of energy healing while rock climbing – an activity that offered much-needed relief from my corporate life. A friend had hurt himself and I witnessed his symptoms vanishing within seconds through the work of an energy healer who happened to be climbing with us. The healer recognized right away that I could see and understand what he was doing when no one else could. He recognized that I had an affinity toward energy/spiritual healing and took me on as a student. Over the next 8 years I spent countless hours learning how to teach the body, the mind and the spirit to work together.

Speaking as someone who’s both open-minded and skeptical, I approached the field of energy medicine with reservation. The practice piqued my interest for its ability to help manage stress and balance body systems but I, as most, had a hard time believing in something that I could not see or touch.  It was contrary to everything I was conditioned to believe in a western medicine driven society. After countless positive outcomes from all kinds of issues, I began to understand the universe has a lot to teach.

I spent a few years working only on myself, but then started helping other people.  I was astonished at how drastically I could help them improve their stress and mental health through spiritual work. It started to become clear that spiritual work was my calling. I decided to open a practice and dedicate my time to helping others.LINKS:

Doug Probst (Shawn Mayotte):

I chronicle my reality, from living in a house of horrors until age 12, then entering a county system as an impressionable, prepubescent white boy, and exiting a cynically enraged egomaniac with no self-esteem and poor social skills. How could I have acquired social skills? I was taught to believe my only marketable skills were my sexuality, my anger, and my musical ability — in that order. I was diagnosed with PTSD during my first year on the streets by a Newport Beach psychiatrist. At 17, I was released to the streets and immediately began a male escort service; with me being the number-one escort. I also started two other careers at once, one considered illegitimate and one considered legitimate. I was modeling for an industry that was pornographic (photos for magazines), and I was also being hired to play music. In those days, I could keep the two separated; I could earn money in distinctly different businesses without ever worrying that somehow the two would collide, and I’d be found out. In fact, I lived in “my world” and I only entered “your world” when I had to. A world-renowned photographer renamed me Shawn Mayotte in 1983, and thus began my nude modeling career. I was also a personal escort (sex worker) to many rich and famous movie & television moguls and actors including Robert Reed, David Geffen, Dack Rambo, Sandy Gallin, Allan Carr, and numerous others.
