MY TRAINING

Welcome! I’m delighted to welcome you to Sanahata and guide you on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and spiritual exploration.

As a former gymnast, my journey began at a young age with discipline, movement, and the exploration of the mind-body connection. This foundation instilled in me a lifelong appreciation for the intricate relationship between our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

With your safety and well-being in mind, I have completed CPR/First Aid training and obtained certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). My approach is grounded in care, responsibility, and a genuine commitment to supporting others.

My pursuit of knowledge has taken me across diverse fields of study. Through exploring evolutionary psychology, sociology, plant science, and pre-medicine, I have sought to deepen my understanding of human nature and the complex relationship between our biology, behavior, and lived experience.

Yet, my curiosity about healing extended beyond conventional education. Over the years, I have immersed myself in learning from Indigenous communities, developing relationships with traditional practitioners and exploring the wisdom carried through generations. I have had the privilege of studying with the Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, and Noke Koi peoples, each offering unique perspectives on traditional knowledge, ceremony, and our relationship with the natural world.

My journey has also included intensive training in Kambo with Huni Kuin practitioners, deepening my understanding of this traditional practice and the cultural context in which it is held. Through my experiences with Shipibo traditions, I have further explored sacred ceremonies and expanded my appreciation for the depth and diversity of Amazonian healing traditions.

Today, I continue learning from a Mestizo maestro of Peruvian and Colombian descent, whose medicinal knowledge and teachings have been passed down through his family lineage. These ongoing relationships remain an important part of my personal and spiritual development.

With my training in Huni Kuin Kambo and a deep respect for the traditions I have encountered, I approach this work with humility, discernment, and a commitment to honoring the people and cultures who have shared their knowledge with me.

Through Sanahata, I bring together the lessons of my personal journey, my continued studies, and my experiences with traditional practices to create opportunities for deeper self-awareness, personal growth, and reconnection.

I invite you to join me on this journey of exploration—to reconnect with yourself, embrace the lessons life has to offer, and discover new possibilities for growth and transformation.

MY STORY

For the past thirteen years, my journey has continued through a deepening relationship with traditional healing practices and the Indigenous communities who have generously shared their knowledge and traditions with me. Through my experiences with different tribes and lineages, I have continued learning, growing, and developing a deeper appreciation for the wisdom held within these ancient traditions.

Today, I live and work alongside Brazilian communities in the Amazon rainforest, where I continue to learn, strengthen relationships, and deepen my understanding of traditional ways of life. These connections have become an important part of my path, teaching me the importance of humility, discernment, respect, and responsibility when approaching sacred traditions.

My work has evolved into more than a personal practice. Through Sanahata, I aim to build meaningful bridges between people seeking healing and the trusted communities and practitioners with whom I have developed relationships. I also share complementary practices that support personal preparation, self-awareness, embodiment, and integration throughout the healing journey.

I believe that meaningful transformation begins with a willingness to look within, reconnect with ourselves, and take an active role in our own growth. My approach brings together the lessons of lived experience, the practices I have explored over the years, and the wisdom I continue to learn through my relationships with traditional communities.

My journey is still unfolding, and I invite you to explore it with me. Through Sanahata, I share the practices, insights, experiences, and connections that have shaped my path, with the hope of supporting others in their own journeys of healing, personal growth, and self-discovery.

    "I've known Kent since 2013 as a healing client, Reiki student and friend, and have witnessed his personal healing and development throughout. His courage and commitment to deeply examining and working through his own trauma and shadow aspects has given him amazing ability as a space holder that continues to grow over time as he learns new skills and expands his knowledge. It has been inspiring to witness his journey and I am honored and humbled to be called his Reiki Master. Even though he began as a student, I have learned just as much through our friendship over the years and have sought his support in my own processes at times, in which he was always willing to support me. He is a deeply sensitive and intuitive soul that has cultivated a strong compassion, integrity, and dedication to helping others navigate the obstacles and trauma in their lives and embody their authentic selves. It can be very difficult in this day and age in the healing community to find people providing healing work that are humble and truly understand, embody, and LIVE the work that they do and I am happy to recommend Kent's work to all who align with it.

    Kent's healing session left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. I wasn't sure what to expect at first was since I was not very familiar with reiki prior to seeing him, but he walked me through each step of his practice and answered my questions. We began by drinking cacao and setting our intentions for the session. I am a fairly anxious person and at the time was busy with coursework, so I dedicated this session to stress relief. By the end of our session, I felt free and re-energized. I highly recommend his services!

    Kent is one of the most dedicated, humble and pure souls I have ever encountered. His mission and loving support for all that are on the path is very clear, and evidenced through his every word, action and channeled expression of art & healing . . . Kent has spent innumerable time doing his inner work, diving deep into the shadow of unloved aspects of self, and emerging as a fully integrated being in service and has dedicated his energy and time to the best of his capacity to assist all those in need. A wonderful ally and brother to have in these trying and challenging times; One who has gone through SO much within himself, only to now be able to reclaim and lend all the learned Mastery through humble service, as deeply profound channeled healing work . . . for our hearts and our world. I highly support and recommend Kent's pure-spirited, unique and powerful approach ~ I can confidently say that he is a truly dedicated soul. . . and a masterful guide who won't let you down; He will be with you through thick and thin in your journey, no matter what you're going through. And this is a rare and irreplaceable trait - the importance of which I cannot emphasize enough! Blessed be.

    Kent is a calm, intuitive healer. During my session with him I felt safe and relaxed - something in general that is hard for me. He was patient answering all my questions before and after the session.When I arrived, everything was set up and organized. He made sure I was comfortable and walked me through the process before starting. During my session, I experienced body sensations that I let him know about - nothing painful, just some slight dizziness, tension in my head, and warmth in my stomach area. He used stones, reiki, music, and some other ceremonies throughout. Afterwards, I felt lighter and more open emotionally I highly recommend working with Kent. He is a true healer and practices what he preaches. Kent makes sure to take care of his own energy and is mindful about boundaries spiritually, physically and mentally.
