    Dee Lewin | Unpacking Traumas, Self-Healing + Raising Your Vibration

    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!

    Dr Lisa Matriste | Taking a Holistic Approach to Dentistry

    Dr Lisa Matriste is a retired, Australian dentist who graduated with Honours from the University of Queensland Dental School in 1986 and is the founder of Laser + Holistic Dental in Melbourne.

    Dr Lisa’s interest as a dental practitioner has been, for the last 30 years, embracing advanced technological developments and incorporating these into holistic dentistry, creating “ a unique, science based approach to dentistry.”

    Dr Lisa promotes healthy and sustainable practices and has practised mercury-free dentistry for over 30 years. Dr Lisa is also the founder of Say No to Mercury. This organisation is a member of the United Nations Global Mercury Partnership.

    Dr Lisa uses her knowledge to lobby Australian and international governments and the World Health Organization to adopt progressive health policies that include accelerating the phase-out of mercury dental amalgam fillings.

    Dr Lisa has developed clinical protocols offering health solutions that significantly benefit patients’ general health and well‐being beyond the conventional ‘drill, fill and bill’ approach. Dentistry has been the foundation by which she has helped people to transform their lives. Dr Matriste desires to transfer her knowledge to the next generation and beyond in this new stage of her career.

    In this Episode, Dr Lisa and I discuss the difference between conventional and traditional dentistry versus biological and holistic dentistry, we chat about the toxic effects of mercury to human health and our environment, also the importance of safely removing mercury amalgams, we dive into how root canals could be impacting our overall health, Dr Lisa talks about the importance of preconception care from a dental perspective and we also talk about how frequencies and sound therapy could enhance ones dental experience. It was an absolute honour and privilege to have this conversation with Dr Lisa and bring awareness to many unknown dental problems and hidden dental infections that could be contributing to chronic conditions and illness – there is truly so much to take away from this episode, you’ll want to get a pen and paper and take notes for this one!
