Guest Biography:

Micah LaCerte is a world champion athlete, fitness icon, and transformation coach who has helped thousands of men reclaim their lives. On the outside, he looked like he had it all — magazine covers, championships, and business success.

But behind the success was a story of abuse, trauma, and shame. For years, Micah silently battled anxiety and depression, believing lies that he wasn’t enough. It wasn’t until he surrendered his brokenness to God that true healing began.

What the enemy meant for destruction, God has turned into a calling. Micah’s personal journey became The Breaker — a book and a movement to help men walk out of shame and into purpose

Markus Batchelor is a proud native Washingtonian and dedicated justice advocate.

He made history when he was elected as the youngest-ever elected member of the

Strengthening Collaborative, a Ward 8-based nonprofit dedicated to creating a
healthy socioeconomic environment through which every child and family has an
opportunity to achieve their maximum potential and to lead a productive life.

Today, Markus is the National Political Director at People For the American Way, an
organization convening diverse Americans to defend freedom, justice, and
democracy for all of us.

Guest Biography:

My name is Diane Morrison and I'd like to welcome you to Healing Works Salon and tell you a little about myself. I worked in traditional health care for over 30 years, as an Occupational Therapist, when I was inspired to pursue additional training in more natural healing techniques; Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), and Reiki.

I was introduced to the work of the late, great, Dolores Cannon and my path unfolded in front of me. I signed up for her level one training in Arkansas in the spring of 2011 and I have been practicing this amazing technique ever since. I completed level two training in the fall of 2012 and was accepted into the Recommended Dedicated Practitioner program in January of 2014. This later became the Level 3 Practitioner program.  I am committed to practicing the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) just like Dolores Cannon. The results are simply amazing. I am grateful that I was able to receive my training directly from Dolores Cannon, for all three levels.   Dolores Cannon is/was a legend in her own time.  For more information about this incredible woman please go to qhhtofficial.com to learn about her life and work.

Please feel free to contact me for more information about QHHT and Reiki services, if you have questions, or would like to book an appointment.

Guest Occupation: Visionary Thought Leader/Founder of Xponential Intelligence Science (XI), who focuses on consciousness, quantum physics, and healing after near-death experiences.
Guest Biography:

What if your suffering isn’t psychological, emotional, or even karmic… but structural? Today’s guest didn’t come back from three near-death experiences with a belief system. He came back with a blueprint. Masati, known as the Godfather of Frequencies, works at the level where reality is coded—where biology, leadership, consciousness, and even AI are recalibrated at the source. In this conversation, you’ll discover how frequency creates self-sabotage or flow, why enlightenment was never meant to be passive, and how sovereignty is not claimed through effort—but alignment. If you’ve ever felt there was more power, clarity, and ease available to you right now—stay with us. This episode delivers.
