Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Diana Jyoti. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Diana, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the story behind how you got your first job in field that you currently practice in.

I currently work as a full time hospice nurse, Prior to that I worked as a maternity nurse and school nurse. The hospice position literally fell into my lap when the hospice agency called me to see if I was interested in the position. I had just returned home from a week-long vacation in Costa Rica where I participated in my first-ever medicine journey. In the journey, I was confronted with my own mortality and realized the only way to move through my fear of death was to surrender to the fear. The minute I did this, I felt brilliant light and unconditional love wash over me. Having completed my personal work of releasing my fears around death, I am now fully available to help others to die with compassion and dignity without projecting fear into their experiences. Looking back at my life, I’m sure that Spirit has prepared me for this work lifelong. I remember taking care of my father through his last 6 months of life on hospice, and feeling inspired by the kindness and tenderness of the hospice nurses who assisted me through that challenging time. I am honored to be allowed into the most vulnerable and intimate spaces that I hold with patients and their grieving families.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

My healing journey started 15 years ago when I was having fertility issues. I stumbled upon hypnotherapy for fertility, and began to unravel some of my earlier childhood traumas that were preventing me from conceiving new life. Within 2 months of clearing subconscious patterns and beliefs, I became pregnant. I now have two amazing and vibrant daughters in my life who are taller than me. Early parenting was extremely challenging because I still had many insecurities and trauma to unpack while also caring for the needs of two small beings. I began to seek out resources and energy healers to help me clear the traumas (childhood, collective and ancestral) so that I could be a better mother and avoid passing down all of the programming to my beloved children. I began to raise my consciousness, to journey into deeper realms of myself, to receive extraordinary downloads, and to awaken to the guidance of my Higher Self. About 8 years ago, I ended a 15-year marriage. We ended the marriage consciously and lovingly (and even bought a duplex together after the divorce), but it was a wakeup call for me to look deeper within myself, to heal and integrate parts of myself I had been unaware of, and to actualize the life I truly desired and knew I deserved. It took me years of seeking, many tears, an insatiable desire for self-growth, the grace of loving and wise teachers, and the accumulation of many healing tools to come to the place where I feel truly healthy, balanced and effective in all areas of my life today. That doesn’t mean that every day is easy. Some days are very stressful and challenging, but it means I have the resources, tools and confidence to feel empowered to handle what comes my way. It’s my goal to empower others as well. Healthy boundaries, self-love, and embracing my intuitive guidance have been instrumental toward those goals. Now I offer life coaching and intuitive energy healing sessions out of my office in Seattle. Sessions integrate tools gained from training in Spiritual Response Therapy, embodiment work, Constellations Therapy, and heart-centered hypnotherapy.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

When my daughters were very young, ages 6 months and 24 months, my husband (at the time) left town for a business trip to India for two weeks. The very day that he left, my two children and I all fell sick with the flu and developed very high temperatures. I was still breastfeeding and they were still co-sleeping with me. None of us slept more than 2-3 hours at a time, and I became extremely sleep-deprived and exhausted. At that time in my life, we didn’t have any family who lived in the area and I didn’t know how to ask for help from neighbors. I was completely overwhelmed. I remember feeling like I was on the brink of going crazy. As my needy children screamed for my attention in the adjoining room, I fell to my knees on the kitchen tiles and began praying to the Universe for help. I was shown a vision of myself going down two tunnels. At the end of one tunnel, I saw myself admitted to the loony bin. At the end of the other tunnel, I saw myself as the most resourced, healed, loving, supported, capable version of myself. Withing 2 hours, I received two calls from friends who held space listening to me, and one who graciously came to help me to care for my infant and toddler like an Angel. I know that we are supported more than we sometimes want to believe that we are, and I know from experience that prayer has magical power. I have also found vulnerability and humility to be key in my life, especially when it comes to resilience.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I know that I am extension of Source energy, and that I can draw upon the energy of the divine in my work on a daily basis. Without that, I would be burnt out from seeing between 4 to 7 patients a day and handling the constant, shifting demands of case managing the care and emotions of dying people (as well as their families and caregivers). I practice calling in the frequencies of unconditional love, bliss and joy. I know that when I am resourced, I can go forth and resource others. I have cultivated a loving partner and community of neighbors, soul sisters, and colleagues who know how to hold me when I get overwhelmed or “lose myself”, which is bound to happen from time to time. I really believe it takes a village! I also strive to practice self-care, self-love and self-compassion regularly, so that I have a reservoir of energy to give from. Self-care is absolutely critical in my ability to process grief, manage my emotions, and nourish my body and mind through healthy food, exercise, laughter, time in nature, and dancing.
