    Dee Lewin is the owner and creator of Vyve Beauty & Wellness, and has built a reputation in Australia and overseas for her powerful energy healing sessions in Melbourne - and online - for more than 15 years. An energy healing session with Dee is ultimately about guiding her clients into becoming balanced emotionally, achieving more clarity and direction, self-understanding and getting back on track to living a happy and contented life. Not quite satisfied in offering only one to one Energy Sessions with her clients, Dee had been searching for something else that could amplify her work and reach more people… enter the Energy Enhancement System, an incredible frequency and light therapy technology invented by Dr Sandra Rose Michael, which Dee discovered after watching an interview with Dr Sandra and spiritual wellness influencer Jason Shurka on Youtube three years ago. After a lot of planning, her dream of opening a 24-unit EESystem centre was realised six months ago when Dee and her partner Scott opened Vyve Meditation Centre in Eltham, in Melbourne’s north eastern suburbs. Vyve Meditation Centre has already seen 1500 visitors come through its doors to experience the wonders of their 24-unit EESystem and, most importantly, many of them are experiencing the benefits of sessions spent in their Energy Room. This has resulted in some amazing self-healing journeys which has seen an endless flow of testimonials. Dee and her partner Scott have 5 children, live in Templestowe and firmly believe they have found their life purpose in helping people at their beautiful sacred sanctuary, Vyve Meditation Centre.  In this Episode, Dee shares her story and why her she is passionate about taking an inside / outside approach to beauty, we discuss what you can experience in one of Dee’s energy healing sessions and how these can help us with unpacking traumas, Dee also shares about the phenomenal technology known as the Energy Enhancement System or EESystem - what this is and how this technology works, we chat about self-healing and raising your vibration, we also chat about the importance of detoxing and how trusting the healing process is an important step in the process and you will also hear Dee shares some of the amazing success stories she has witnessed since opening Vyve Meditation Centre. It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Dee and to feel her passion and hear her share her wisdom, she is truly beautiful inside and out and I feel so grateful to be surrounded by beautiful beings who choose to create change, make an impact and who are a force for good for their community. And on that note, you’ll want to listen right until the end to hear the super generous offer (which left me speechless!) that Dee has for you which is valid till the end of 2023!

    Pam Bartha | The Missing Link

    Pam Bartha was clinically diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the age of 28 and chose a non-prescription approach to therapy. Now over 30 years later and still MS free, she teaches others how to recover from disease by treating the parasites that cause disease while following a holistic approach. She is a health educator, speaker, coach and the founder of Live Disease Free and the author of Become a Wellness Champion. Pam has coached hundreds of students in over 15 countries in her Live Disease Free Plan. In this episode Pam and I talk about the missing link for sickness, how you too can Live Disease Free, we discuss parasites, what lesions really are, whether MS is truly an autoimmune disease and I also share my experience with implementing the Live Disease Free Plan in my life. If you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, pain, gut issues, allergies, long COVID or auto immune disease, have you considered that parasites might be the cause of your health issues? Could parasites be the reason why no matter how healthy you eat, how active you are or how many supplements you take, you still have symptoms? If you have tried many things to improve your health, but nothing has really made a difference, parasites are likely the root cause of your health concerns. Experts tell us that we can’t get parasites unless we’ve travelled to underdeveloped countries, but nothing could be further from the truth. Parasitic infections in the US and other developed countries affect millions of people. If parasites are not present where we live, why do veterinarians recommend that we regularly deworm our cats, dogs, horses, cattle and other animals?
