Z’s Divine Enlightenment and Healing Services - Bourbonnais, IL May 2021 to Present
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Zekeda, Since I was young I’ve always had dreams that came true, extremely empathic, and always felt drawn to helping others. I’ve worked in the mental health/social services field for 16+ years. I always knew life has more than meets the eye, and decided to explore further for personal purposes. While trying to help myself get through divorce was when I realized the gifts that I possess. I’m a master manifestor, alchemist, know how to dive in and connect with archetypes, most experience with Divine feminine energies. I’ve acquired training in Reiki, Chrystal Healing Spiritual life coaching, etc. I am also an earth Angel. My purpose is to make sure every person that I come into contact with no matter how small the interaction knows what it feels like to be genuinely loved. I started my journey years ago, but never dove into it the way that I have the past year during separation and divorce. They say deep pain or life changing events is usually when awakening takes place. I am here to spread messages solely through love and light. All of my decks are for guidance purposes. I am not into any dark magic nor do I plan to. I think of the readings as a therapy session. I pull cards explain to you their meanings and assist with finding ways to overcome your deepest struggles with guidance from angels and the Divine.
