    Lara Hinds - Emotion Code Practitioner

    "I am so grateful to have been raised in a household where we understood God has given our bodies wisdom and innate healing power. We were encouraged to care for the body according to God’s design. I followed along with my family’s exploration gaining experiences with a variety of styles of healthy eating, cleansing and other health promoting modalities. It wasn’t till until I was a teenager that my health journey became my own.

    I have been through several metamorphic phases on this journey . A big change opened up for me when I realized that physical health was deeply tied to our spiritual, mental and emotional health. This is a subject that fascinates me, and I continue to grow in my own understanding and embodiment of this reality.

    Part of this journey led me to become a Emotion Code practitioner in 2015. It has been a beautiful participation with God allowing healing for myself and others .

    I’m very honored to get to serve you at this retreat, and am praying for beautiful insights, connection and healing as you take time to listen to what your body is signaling and embrace life and healing on a deep level."

    Valina Hamilton - Emotion, Body and Belief Code

    I believe there is so much more to us than what we can see on the surface. We carry emotions, beliefs, experiences, and identities that can quietly shape how we see ourselves and move through life.

    Through Emotion Code, Body Code, Belief Code, and perspective work, I create space to get curious about what may be underneath the surface and what the body, heart, and inner world may be communicating.

    I often describe myself as an energetic cleaning lady—clearing emotional baggage and energetic clutter that can get in the way of experiencing more of who you truly are.

    For me, this work isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. As old patterns and beliefs begin to shift, there can be more room for clarity, self-trust, peace, freedom, and a deeper connection with yourself and God.

    I’m honored to be part of this retreat and to create a space where you can slow down, get curious, release what you’re ready to let go of, and reconnect with the light that has been within you all along.
