Cyrus Henry - Medicine Musician
My journey began with a year of intensive mentorship under a clairvoyant/healer, developing my intuitive understanding of energetic systems. I then pursued formal training, completing a diploma of energy healing at The Awareness Institute from 2016 to 2018, gaining a structured approach to healing and coaching. Further expanding my knowledge, I spent three transformative years immersed in shamanic indigenous practices and plant medicine in Central America, Nicaragua, deepening my connection to my healing and coaching practice
I am the founder of Purea Therapies, a coaching and healing services business. I've led international retreats, workshops and online courses focused on self-development, mindfulness, communication, emotional and somatic release, purpose and including plant medicine ceremonies. These experiences have honed my ability to create safe and sacred spaces for profound transformation.
My mission: Providing tools for holistic wellness, empowering you to return home to your authentic self and achieve your fullest potential
