Meet Denise Marie Gaber
Resilience Coach, Sound Healer, and Musician
Behind my bright eyes and bubbly spirit is an intense story of loss and grief. It is hard to believe that it has been over 20 years since the passing of my daughter, Amanda. As a young mother, I never dreamed I would deal with the crushing loss of a child. Yet again about a decade later, I went through an agonizing divorce. About four years later, I said goodbye to one of my dearest friends. And in the spring of 2023, I experienced the gut wrenching loss of my great-grandson Everett. I know all too well the darkest spaces of loss. I am no stranger to the endless stream of tears that seem to never stop, and loneliness grief brings about.
After Amanda died, everything around me was dark and damp. I felt nothing but pain, sorrow, and suffering. My heart was broken and I felt forsaken. I felt like I was being burned up in the fires of hell…with no escape. I just couldn’t seem to get myself back. “Please someone, please help me to stop feeling this pain, this confusion!” I screamed inside myself. I had lost all sense of who I was and what I was doing.
When I was stable enough to begin searching for some answers, a thought came to me, “I must be here for a reason. I just have to find it.” That’s when I discovered Core Passion work and Numerology (Soul's Blueprint) in 2007. It’s a framework for understanding yourself, and the world that allows you to reach your highest potential. It gave me the language to understand rhythm and flow, and what was holding me back. I finally felt able to focus on my gifts rather than what I had lost.
This delicate time sparked my spiritual journey, and I was thirsty for answers. I came from a Christian background not questioning my beliefs, but taking what I was told at face value. After Amanda’s passing, I swung towards everything Woo-Woo, going pretty far into the ideas and concepts that most people never even encounter. I wanted to go beyond everyone else’s belief systems to discover and find what spirituality, love, faith, and God meant to me. It was a pivotal and defining time in my life. 2008 I became an ordained minister ready to serve all walks of life, regardless of beliefs and orientation.
Simultaneously my spiritual gifts began opening up. I began to see, feel and hear spirit through me. I started sharing these gifts with others, and to my complete shock and amazement, others could accept the messages of their loved ones coming through me. It would appear God was also calling me to channel the messages of loved ones through an awakening gift of spirit communication. What a blessing to realize I was developing a framework to understand and heal the self, not only through music, Numerology and Core Passion, but also the words of inspiration and hope of those crossed over.
And I didn’t stop there. The joy and healing I had shared through the power of music were coming back to me in a new way. I wondered how it would be possible for others to feel the healing vibrations of sound through their bodies. It was then that I began to explore sound healing for the emotional energy centers, also known as the chakras. More recently, I discovered Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT). I completed the VAT training in the beginning of 2023 which has led to the creation of private individual sound healing sessions that I now offer. I also created Resiliency Coaching which is a combination of sound healing, mediumship, and bereavement/spiritual coaching.
I am so grateful that all of the experiences that “broke me” over the years transformed into a new narrative: one of being “broken open” into the truth of who I am, valuing myself completely and without apology. My soul was broken open and I would never be the same. My life is the expression of the song of my soul.
(from my original song titled “Broken Open”)
Just when you think you’re broken
The hardest words unspoken
You get up and rise
Wipe the tears from your eyes
You see that you’re better off broken…then to never have been broken open.
