Howdy, I\u2019m Dustin. Change is my superpower, and state change is my passion. I have a varied background, including 12 years as an actor\/comedian, over a decade of owning or managing businesses, and 10 years of nomadic travel. I\u2019ve lived hundreds of lives in my short 38 years. I also spent the majority of my life with many undiagnosed health issues and had developed a very unhealthy lifestyle. That eventually added up to 340 lbs of unstable energy and me being completely disconnected from my body, mind, and soul. In 2016 a stranger walked into my bar and alerted me to a skin condition I had. I stopped consuming gluten and caffiene that week, dropped 60lbs in three months, quit my job, learned about shadow work and how impactful trauma is on your daily life, traveled in a van, backpacked, hitchhiked, started a THC beverage company, walked away from multimillion dollar deals and shady business partners, was homeless, went through a miscarriage, got on National TV, was the Chief Heart Officer for Sonz Youth and one of the founders of Rooted Futures, learned to \u201cdo the work\u201d, experienced beautiful love and tragic betrayal, sat intentionally with entheogens, and eventually landed in the rocky mountains half the human (-170lbs) and twice the man. I\u2019ve been healing myself for the last 10 years and in 2020 I started my practice to help others. Since then I\u2019ve helped hundreds of people on their journey of change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up in the Bible Belt in an era when the first Harry Potter book was being pulled from shelves and warnings were being given from the church pulpits and newspapers about its corruptive nature. I was always told magic was evil, a gateway to the devil, and something that should be avoided at all costs. I still found the magic though in stories of young boys who survived the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash (Hatchet) or who left their family to live on the slopes of a mountain on once forgotten ancestral land (My Side of the Mountain). How did they manage to survive? Intuition and connecting to nature\u2026aka two parts of magic. This was enough for me, and the magic stayed, hidden within. When I first began to free myself of the oppressive influence of others limiting beliefs, the magic was there waiting for me, like an old friend that\u2019s ready to play the game you left off in the middle of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I define magic as the ability to influence and be influenced by the subtle world around you. Did that bird make you think about a loved one and smile? Magic. Did your friend get you the gift you\u2019ve been putting off getting but really want? Magic. Were all the lights green on the way to work? Did you sense something was going to happen and it did? Did your crush call you just as you were thinking about them? It\u2019s all magic! Magic is important to me because it helps me understand and connect to the world, myself, and those around me in ways that I could never without. Plus, I think it\u2019s more fun living a magical life, and I think all it takes is a little awareness and consistent intentional action and the magic flourishes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An incomplete list of random things about me: I am a multipotentialite, enthusiastic amateur, and forever student. I performed up to 8 times a week for over a decade in front of audiences ranging 3-3000. I graduated from Improv Olympics Chicago, being honored with a spot on a Harold team. I attended Native Roots Herbalism School studying Ancestral Folk Healing and Herbal Medicine. Got a BA from New Mexico State University. I\u2019m a Certified Dowser, a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, and an Ordained Minister. I\u2019ve been taught or self taught and work with over 150 modalities, and I incorporated them all into one system called Intentionalism. I once lost 170lbs. I spent 10 years living a nomadic lifestyle and now gratefully live in Taos, New Mexico. 3\/5 Manifesting Generator. Gemini Sun\/Aries Moon\/Scorpio Rising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me. It\u2019s not by chance you made it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
