Balancing Hormones: Tucson Dowsers presentation December 2 2023.
***Note: Since giving this presentation, I have updated some notes here.
On December 2 2023, I had the privileged honor of being guest speaker for the Tucson Dowser’s monthly meetings.

Announcement:
Please join us on Saturday, December 2nd, when Dowser, Teacher, and Holistic Wellness Practitioner
Jackie Rioux of Ladybug Wellness will be presenting
“Using Dowsing to Balance Hormones”
All energy healing and holistic wellness has one common goal, to bring balance and homeostasis to the body. We know that our energy and electrical body is the first place that imbalances begin and then manifest into the physical body. Some of these imbalances can be ancestral or family patterns. How ever these imbalances show up, correcting them can greatly reduce symptoms and relieve all sorts of issues.
Hormones run everything in the physical body. Figuring out and balancing hormones can bring amazing energy shifts.
In this presentation Jackie will share the dowsing technique she uses to correct hormonal imbalances within herself and her clients.

*** After this presentation I realized that “WT” on the hormones list are all weight related hormones.

Notes shared:
Some hormones are supposed to flow high, some low.
When I work with hormones, I ask the % of function, or % operating at, then clear energy/ dowse with questions and intentions any blocks to bring up the function to 100%.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Note: hormones constantly fluctuate so although balanced within session, they can still shift later on as more imbalances surface or as daily life can bring more stress and upsets.
What I have learned and what comes up most often:
• Intuition: in-tune, trust your guidance.
• We don’t need to know everything. Our higher selves/ subconscious mind knows everything.
• “Cort” hormones are usually related to pain. Pain is a messenger and usually the last thing to manifest into the physical body from energetic imbalances. Balancing hormones can relieve general pain, aches, cramping etc.
• Thyroxin 4 is a thyroid hormone. Often related to throat chakra, speaking truth, being stifled, arguments.
• Irisin is supposed to help with weight release.
• C-Reactine protein is related to insulin resistance.
• DMT Spirit hormone often comes up with “spiritual blindness”, a disconnection from source.
• Leptin related to appetite issues. Gastrin, motilin, ghrelin all related to stomach issues.
• Trauma and stress create stomach issues because fight/flight response shuts down digestion.
• Female hormones: Estrogen, progesterone, estradiol. Can align with moon energy and influences. Can relieve PMS, menstrual, and menopause symptoms.
• Male hormones: Testosterone, androsterone. These hormones are almost exclusively affected in how a woman treats a man. (from abnormal psychology class)
• We have both male and female hormones. This is an example where one flows high, the other low.
• Dopamine, serotonin are the happy hormones.
• Erectile dysfunction: balance melanocyte and testosterone.
• Consider metaphysical connotations with imbalances.
• Lanosterol is not a hormone. Can come up where someone has a fear of seeing the future.
• Metabolism dysfunction
• Apoptosis dysfunction
• Sleep: Melatonin, Tryptophan. Circadian Rhythm, REM sleep, Diurnal Cycles.
• Just reading science articles or books etc. can bring up ideas to check and play with.
• Endocrine disruptors: Scents, chemicals, some essential oils can wreak havoc on our systems as they block the proper function of hormones and also tax the endocrine system. See toxin page here: https://ladybugwellness.ca/toxins-individual-energy-toxins/
Stress can cause excess cortisol and adrenaline. Sometimes we can just neutralize this excess to balance.
Miasm: a family pattern weakness. I have found that almost anything can be a miasm. Whatever issue a client is presenting, I ask if it is a miasm. More often than not, it is.
More information on miasma in Tom Heintz’s webinars. “Purchase for free” each season of webinars. At least 3 webinars in the 10 seasons are on miasma: www.healersresource.com
Suggested questions to dig deeper:
1. Are there hormones that are imbalanced/unhappy/not functioning optimally?
2. Is the body utilizing/absorbing all hormones it is producing?
3. Is the body being triggered to produce too much/not enough of a hormone at some point during the day?
4. Is there an organ/gland/chakra that is causing issues with hormones?
5. Is there any other question that I should ask affecting hormones?
6. Are the hormones supporting each other?
7. Are all aspects of hormonal system synchronized?
A simple intention:
I ask to balance and regulate my hormones to their most appropriate levels to produce youthful skin and tissues, deep restorative sleep, regulate body temperature to the most appropriate level. Regulate metabolism to return the body to its healthiest weight. Regulate blood pressure and heart rate to its healthiest levels. Strengthen and maintain healthy bones. Regulate and maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Normalize Emotional impulses, restore the digestive system and increase the metabolization of water and nutrients, restore thyroid function
Clarification on some points made:
Anything can cause anything!!
I accumulated and compiled this hormone list from various sources such as other practitioners, forum shared charts, and good old online searches.
I missed mentioning that Beth Foley has been instrumental in sharing her knowledge as well.

During my presentation, I had my notifications on silent on my phone and computer, but I could already see notifications showing clients booking in for both my weekly free session and regular appointments as well.
Questions and Answers:
1. Whatever the issue presented; you can ask if there is a hormone that would affect/ apply/ resolve the issue.
Hearing loss was brought up. The hormone I dowsed was parathyroid which is in the neck. We never know quite how a hormone is related to an issue, but I just go with it. Within a session, we could be led to something indirect or more priority to correct before seeming to get to the presented issue.
2. What can we do fix parasites? Lower and neutralize (dowse out) cortisol and adrenaline; parasites feed on these hormones’ excesses. Reduce stress, neutralize fears.
3. Sleep formula: Tryptophan, Melatonin, circadian rhythm, Diurnal cycles, REM sleep
4. Skin issues: dowse which hormones as it could be unique for the individual. Look for miasm of psoriasis.
5. Digestion hormones: Gastrin, melanocyte, ghrelin, leptin, motilin. There may be others. These are the most commons for me.
6. Yes, many people can go off medications by balancing their energy and hormones. BE SURE to have a medical doctors support!
Question missed in the chat:
Have you done any work with sexual identity issues? Yes, I have. There is often trauma behind these issues. We have both male and female hormones. Each has its function, but one should generally be more dominant than the other. This is a case where one flows high, the other low. This is always unique to the individual and why I ask for optimal function.
Comments in chat:
1. Lizzi Scherer: amylin is good for diabetics; AMP Adenosine monophosphate – helps with fatty cell breakdown
2. From Anne Bryan to Everyone: Jackie’s website is one of the most generous I’ve seen… a wealth of information to support us learning strategies to help ourselves. Seeing Jackie do the work herself may be very helpful so you can feel and experience the flow Jackie uses. (A huge thanks to Amy Jo for introducing so many of us to Jackie!)
3. [email protected] To Everyone: Raymon Grace says to desensitize the mucous membranes form all irritants and allergens
4. From Amy Jo Ellis to Everyone: I, _______, place myself, _______, into a Full Court of Atonement for the purpose of Soul Recognition, Optimization of Self, Optimal Working Conditions. I ask to balance my hormones.
5. From Anne Bryan to Everyone: Any Jo Ellis’ Courts of Atonement compliments any energy work and (in my opinion) physical/medical support.
After the presentation…
I came across this documentary after my presentation. Excellent information about methylation, hormones, and supplements. Fascinating.

I also realized that my notes handout did not have the proper link to mini session playlist. Corrected above.
I have had numerous new clients and connections, inquiries, wonderful feedback, and compliments.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, to each and every one of you!
I have also had a couple invitations to speak for other groups. I am humbled and super grateful for these opportunities to share my knowledge with others.
________________________________________________________
Pondering thoughts:
I had been extremely self conscious of the “Ah’s and um’s issue. It seems most people didn’t seem to notice quite what I did in being “my own worst critic”.
Only one person wrote to me mentioning this concern. I found this to be intriguing feedback which I shared with Sue V. for my next monthly session to work on myself. Turns out I had quite a resistance to “teaching” mode which I trust we have cleared that energy enough to propel me forward in more speaking and teaching roles. So, thank you to Faye!
Excerpt from Faye’s email:
“The AH issue: teaching and learning. You may have noticed when you are in teaching mode, you ‘ah’ a lot, but when you are in learning mode you do not ‘ah’ at all. When you were presenting you were in teaching mode. When you were answering questions, you were in learning mode – as in answering the teacher’s questions. Perhaps, then, two questions to be asked are: What is dangerous about teaching? Do I feel qualified or unqualified to teach? As you consider this, you may find more questions.
In response to the information you provided on balancing the hormones, I considered how I might apply this concept of balancing hormones and the response I received was in the form of a symphony orchestra: the instruments = hormones,
tuning = balancing, musicians = consciousness of the hormones, conductor = me. So, every morning and whenever it comes to mind, I ask the orchestra to tune. The neat thing about musicians is that they are aware of whether they are in tune or not and constantly self-correct. By acknowledging the intelligence of the hormones – the musicians – I feel I can trust the orchestra to stay in tune and the hormones to stay in balance. I also select a ‘playlist’ for the day as if I had a CD collection and CD player or however it’s done these days. Lots of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms with some Sousa and Straus”.

Back Story:
I have been following Tucson Dowsers since November 2020 when they first had Raymon Grace on as their first guest speaker in starting up these monthly meetings. Raymon, of course, may be a self proclaimed “hillbilly”, but in the world of dowsing, he is an internationally renowned expert dowser.
I had been following Raymon for a number of years previously and use many of his ideas and techniques in my own dowsing work. Anything he promotes is well worth checking out.
Tucson Dowsers meetings has proven to be an excellent source of information and connection with some of the world’s most experienced dowsers. They have had some incredible speakers since that first meeting. To the delight of all members and attendees, Raymon has been back as their anniversary November speaker each year.
As they are always looking for interesting speakers to add to their roster. At one point I had reached out suggesting Amy Jo Ellis with Court of Atonement. Amy Jo has spoken twice for their audience.
I managed to attend live most of the presentations, or at least catch the replays. When I was on live, I tried my best to participate in the chat by posting links or other comments to support the meeting content.
I have donated a few times to support their Zoom meeting capacity and also became a member to support their ongoing meetings as well. Well worth the investment, in my opinion, and I encourage others to join as well.
In January of 2023, I had gotten behind on emails and missed reading the monthly newsletters from Tucson Dowsers, so I had missed the announcement of Kathleen’s passing December 2 2022.
Tucson Dowsers consists of Theresa Gonzalez, president; Carol Dickman, treasurer; and Kathleen Gonzalez (Theresa’s sister) had been their tech person who set up their meetings online etc. I frantically wrote in a belated condolence message to Carol and Theresa.
The evening of March 3 2023, I received a phone call from Carol asking if I would take on a more official volunteer role as chat monitor and meeting admittance assistant as well. As of March 4 2023, I have been on every meeting assisting with the chat monitoring and admitting participants. 😊
The topic of potential speakers came up. I offered that my previous speaking engagement topics have been trauma and grief, but those topics seemed awfully heavy for this audience. I decided on “Balancing Hormones” which is a tiny aspect of all I do in my work with clients.
I received an official invitation to speak:

and
Tucson Dowsers
I graciously and excitedly accepted this invite. Now, I knew my date was for December, and I knew Raymon was slated for his usual November spot, but it was not until I received the Tucson newsletter announcing Raymon’s presentation that a reality check hit me when I saw my own announcement for my December date in the same newsletter with my esteemed mentor.
I darn near fainted!!
Yes, I know Raymon has no fancy letters behind his name, he is very humble and all that. But to ME, Raymon and the Tucson Dowsers are way up there in prestige level. I’ve had to work on my own “imposter syndrome” in psyching myself up for this presentation.
Carol and Theresa are such amazing souls who are such down-to-earth people to know and work with virtually thru these meetings.
The announcement was also a synchronistic realization that I would be speaking on the anniversary of Kathleen’s passing. I was told that Theresa may join the meeting, but not in her official capacity. She was taking the day off, understandably.
Carol had arranged for someone else to assist her and Donalee as chat monitor and admittance assistant. I kinda felt strange to be on the meeting not as my usual background assistance but as the limelight guest speaker. (OMG!!).
As mentioned in my Milestones story, I had been in Toastmasters years ago and I was the “ah and um” champion. I am keenly aware of my “ahs and ums” when I am speaking publicly. I am my own worst critic in that sense.
I also learned in Toastmasters that it is normal to get butterflies. But you can make them fly in formation.

I had the pre-talk jitters for sure. This was on Zoom so I made sure that I came through clear on the camera etc. I also set my own view to pin Carol so I was only looking at her thru the presentation part. I felt like I was going around in circles with the information presented, reading off notes but also talking freestyle as well, praying I made sense to everyone. We had some questions and answers and I did my best to answer sufficiently.
At one point when someone asked about Court of Atonement, I noticed Amy Jo on the meeting as well. I have always been the one to promote Amy Jo and now here she was, my friend and mentor, supporting me and attending my presentation. I may have been slightly mortified and intimidated lol.
My presentation was an hour and a half long. It seemed to be quite well received because, although I had my phone sound off, I noticed notifications going off for new client bookings while I was still presenting. Some were for my free group offer and some for private session appointments.
Carol called for a debriefing afterwards. She said we had 159 on the live call attendance. She postulated that my presentation was well received and I did just fine in presenting as well. (phew!). She didn’t notice as many “ahs and ums” as I thought. Overall, well done and appreciated. She was amusingly mortified when I told her I had pinned her on Zoom view and was only talking to her lol.
The replay was posted December 14 2023 and has had numerous views. Throughout December I have been booked up with all sorts of wonderful new clients. I am thoroughly enjoyed meeting on Zoom and connecting with like minded wonderful souls. I have received numerous messages of appreciation and compliments. I have even had a couple other invitations to speak on other platforms.
I am super grateful for having had this opportunity to speak on what I have felt to be an intimidating and prestigious platform. Thank you to Carol, Theresa, and all the Tucson Dowsers followers. I appreciate every one of you!
