  Sage Carpenter-Medical Intuitive is originally from the Midwest and now resides in Santa Cruz County. When a little girl, Sage was highly intuitive and knew God in the Feminine. As an astute Medical Intuitive who is respected nationwide for her ability to work with exasperating health challenges, Sage is taking her work to a new level offering Divine Heart Activations. During an activation, Sage will be addressing spiritual matters, doing “out of this world” toning, speaking the Sacred Language which bypasses the intellect and goes directly to the heart - changing the cellular level. In these sessions, one is given their own Divine Name which activates their Divine Heart. While giving the name, Sage lays on hands - which is riveting to both see and feel - all the while radiating Divine Love. The activation is meant to be a personal experience of our individual Holiness. In 1997, Sage experienced her own Holiness when she merged with God the Mother and experienced the Breath of Divine Love. She now facilitates this opportunity with others.

WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY AND
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Homeopathy works by stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Its basic principles date back to Hippocrates and were further developed two hundred years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. Homeopathic remedies, which are energized substances such as plants, animals, and minerals, provoke a healing response in an individual's vital force, treating the root causes of illnesses including emotional conditions. Hahnemann discovered that a substance causing a symptom in a healthy person would cure that same symptom in a sick person or "like cure like." Homeopathy is part of standard medical care in Europe, India, and South America, and is seeing a rebirth in this country.


WHO CAN HOMEOPATHY HELP?
Research and 200 years of clinical experience demonstrate that Homeopathy is effective for chronic conditions, even those not well addressed by mainstream allopathic medicine. These conditions include those relating to the immune system, nervous system, hormonal imbalances, and other complex
disorders. Migraines, allergies, mood swings, and menopausal or menstrual symptoms are some of the conditions that homeopathy helps.
