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

Ross Coulthart is an Australia-based investigative journalist, author and filmmaker with over 35 years in broadcast television public affairs and newspaper journalism.  He is currently a senior investigations correspondent for the US national NEWS NATION TV news network based out of Chicago, hosting the popular show REALITY CHECK. https://www.youtube.com/@NewsNation  

Since 2017 much of Ross’ investigative work has focussed on the phenomenon of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) aka UFOs, a subject long stigmatised and ridiculed but now acknowledged officially by the US Government to be an authentic scientific mystery worthy of serious investigation. 

In June 2023, Ross’ exclusive television interview with former senior intelligence officer David Grusch revealed Grusch’s investigations with the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force had uncovered a secret US Government and private aerospace UAP craft retrieval and reverse engineering program, knowledge of which has been withheld from Congressional oversight. 

In January 2025, Ross’ exclusive television interview with former US intelligence operative Jake Barber brought to public light for the first time, direct on-the-record evidence of the US Government’s covert NHI technology program. 

Ross has worked as an investigative journalist across TV and newspapers, including the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Four Corners, Nine’s Sunday show and 60 Minutes, and the Seven’s Sunday Night investigative public affairs show.

A law graduate, Ross has written six best-selling books, including In Plain Sight: An Investigation into UFOs & Impossible Science (HarperCollins 2021). One of his three First World War histories, Charles Bean, won the 2015 Australian Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Australian History.

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.
