Soni Knapp was born in a small town in Vermont (fourth generation) where people
survived by knowing how to heal their hurts with herbs and psychic energies; grow all of
their own food; find their own water; and repair, reuse and recycle everything possible.
The only time a doctor was called was when someone couldn’t heal the injury or sickness. When she was very young (the ripe old age of 5) her grandfather handed her a forked stick and said, “Here honey, take this and walk over there with it.” “What is it Grandpa?” she asked. He told her to never mind, to do what she was told. So, she held the stick the way he showed her and began walking her little girl steps across the garden. Just about the time she was getting bored, the stick jolted downward in her little hands and her little body followed so she ended up face down in the dusty path! She was just a little shaken up and asked Grandpa why he did that to her. He was standing there looking at her and laughing his great belly laugh saying, “Honey, I did nothing to you! You’ve got the Gift!” Soni has been dowsing ever since and uses it for more than just finding water. She discovered very early on that she could dowse with her hands and feel the energy field around human bodies and plants. She could also determine where there were holes or blockages in those fields, and would concentrate on healing/sealing them in order to facilitate healing. As a direct descendant of a medicine man on her mother’s side of the family, Soni has always practiced natural healing arts and continues to study and research. She also achieved certifications in shamanism, and in various healing modalities while working full time at a local electric utility. Some of Soni’s certifications are Aura Balancing, Esoteric Tuning, One Brain Technique (from Three-in-One Concepts, Berkeley, CA) and Usui Reiki Master Teacher. Soni is vice president of the Chittenden County Chapter of the ASD, is very happy to be a member of such a wonderful community of like-minded people. |
