Jon Skedsvold

It was during Jon's deployments to Iraq (2003) and Kosovo (2009) that he started becoming keenly aware of the abundance of human suffering. This created in him the yearning to ask the deeper questions in life. “Who am I” and “why am I here” . The curiosity he had as a child came flowing forward as he began to contemplate these questions. As it turns out, asking those questions led him on an inner quest that he could not have imagined. Reading any book and talking to any person that seemed to lead him closer to the answers. Soon realizing that the answers could only come from within! True knowing would come with personal deep healing.  Delving into various healing modalities from others to support his personal healing proved invaluable.  In 2019 JonI began studying Healing Touch, completing the first 3 Levels of Healing Touch Program curriculum. In October of 2020 he attended his first Awakening Healing Axis workshop. AHA created a deeper level of healing through these retreats, and the incredible frequencies being introduced. It is with great excitement that Jon brings the wisdom he is guided to bring forward and to be a part of the AHA team and community. "I am humbled to have an opportunity to support this incredible work in the world."

Presenter Apprentices and Contributors

Co-Creators – The original Triad 

After working together for several years, Jeannette Nienaber, Tim McConville and Franny Harcey were Divinely Guided to share their collective wisdom with you. Awakening Healing Axis is a culmination of this fusion. When we began, we all said “Yes!” to spirit and the unknown, hearing that we would create six workshops. The first six workshops built on this collaboration and ever-increasing energy. Jeannette was called to do other work, but the Awakening Healing Axis mission continues on within a new configuration.   

Additional Contributors

Awakening Healing Axis is a unique collaboration bringing forward expansive concepts in the field of energy healing.  Inviting all to heighten collective awareness, through exploration and group work, understanding and knowledge of how to work with energy and being receptive to new information. We strive to support the ascension of humanity through advanced healing techniques with spiritual retreats and workshops.

Joanne Kaufman

Joanne has been a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist since 2001, with an Associates in Occupational Studies (AOS) from Boulder College of Massage Therapy. She has studied and received life-changing energy medicine work in various forms including Reiki, cranial sacral, Quantum Touch, and crystal patterning. Joanne is a Healing Touch Practitioner. She integrates HT and AHA’s powerful energetic foundations and techniques into her massage therapy work.
Joanne spent formative years in her 20s doing faith-based nonviolence work in conflict zones with Christian Peacemaker Teams.  In this work, she noticed how simple presence and deep listening allowed local partners to create new possibilities in their personal and communities’ lives.  This foundation underlies her particular passion for empowering each person to own, embrace, and follow their own healing paths and talents in their own timing. This commitment to deep listening to support each Being’s song has surfaced an affinity with crystals, as well as participating in the expansion of deep Earth/Gaia healing.  Joanne is so delighted and honored to be part of the expansion of Awakening Healing Axis.
