“The sun still rises, even with pain.” – The Head and the Heart

Hello, radiant souls! I’m Crystal Dawn Hurt, and I cherish the name I was given. It beautifully reflects my journey with Crystal Dawn Energy and my resolve to heal the inner “hurt” I’ve carried for years.

Growing up as the daughter of divorced, recovering alcoholics, my family projected an illusion of perfection, hiding the complex reality beneath. I’m intimately familiar with how childhood trauma can cast a long shadow on one’s adult life. Though my parents supported me, I grew up with a distorted sense of self-worth and love.

Life’s challenges continued to mount as I grew older. At age 25, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder shortly after buying my first home in the quiet town of Elwood, Nebraska. While renovating, I encountered the spirit of the previous owner, who shared his story and asked me to fulfill a final request. This was my first experience seeing through the veil, and it was both enlightening and unsettling. It led to a brief stay in a mental health clinic and was also the beginning of my psychic journey.  

Looking back, this period was a spiritual awakening, though I was made to believe I was fundamentally flawed. I went through numerous medications, counseling sessions, and psychiatry appointments, feeling increasingly disconnected from my true self. The medications left me feeling like a zombie, and I turned to alcohol for relief. I withdrew from social media, avoided photos, and struggled with daily thoughts of self-harm. The financial burden of traditional therapy was immense, sometimes exceeding $2,700 per month, yet none of this brought me peace.

Desperate for a different approach, I explored alternative healing methods. Through extensive research and embracing a holistic approach, I found modalities that resonated with me and offered new hope. These practices have helped me not just survive but thrive. I reclaimed my body, abandoned prescription medications, and rediscovered the joy of living—mind, body, and soul.

On my healing journey, I’ve obtained certifications in Life Coaching, Sound Healing, Emotion Code, and Reiki and am currently completing my NLP/Hypnosis certification. I am ordained through the Universal Life Church and provide Psychedelic Integration Coaching, focusing on the healing potential of plant-based remedies.

Before embarking on this path, I spent 14 years teaching full-time in the public school system. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in 7-12 English and K-12 ESL and a Master’s in PK-12 Reading Speciality. I’ve always been a lifelong learner, a trait that continues to enrich my practice.

Outside of my healing work, I find peace in nature, enjoying camping, kayaking, hiking, and exploring new places. I share my life with three beloved feline companions, Pneuma, Rabble Rouser, and Homie. My passion for nurturing life extends to propagating plants, so you might leave my healing studio with a green companion of your own.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, guiding you toward self-discovery of inner peace on your unique journey.

With light and love ,

Crystal Dawn
