Even the smallest spark holds the power to rise.
The Spark that Birthed Ember of the Phoenix
Ember of the Phoenix wasn’t just created — it was reborn.
Born from the ashes of who I was, and the spark of who I’m becoming.For much of my life, I carried something deep inside — a quiet ember, glowing beneath the surface. Even in moments of loss, disconnection, or doubt, it never went out.
I’ve stood in the in-between: not broken, but not fully whole.
And it was through that journey — through grief, unraveling, healing, and the slow magic of remembering — that Ember of the Phoenix was born.
It became the sanctuary I once needed.
And now, it’s here for you.And maybe you know that feeling too — something within you insisting there’s more.
More to heal.
More to become.
More to awaken.This is a space for those standing at the edge of change.
Those in the sacred in-between — no longer who they were, not yet who they’re becoming.
Not lost, not broken… but ready to remember their power.Through a blend of ancient and intuitive practices — Reiki, hypnotherapy, energy healing, and trance-based work — I help you reconnect with the fire that has always lived within you.The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s restoration.
Reclamation.
Reignition.The phoenix has always been my guide — not just for its beauty, but for its courage to rise anew.
It doesn’t fear transformation because it knows the flame is not the end — it's the beginning. It trusts the cycle. It welcomes the fire because it knows: what comes next is always brighter.And so do you.This is where the healing begins.
Where the ember becomes flame.
Where your next self takes shape.For those who feel the flicker…
Welcome home.
You’re already rising.

The Ritual Does Not End Here...
The Awakening Continues Soon.
🔮 The Ember Atelier AwaitsA chamber of ritual and creation is forming, where transformation expands into design and lifestyle. Within it, each piece is born of intention — from custom designs crafted as sacred extensions of self, to carefully curated works that channel the ember’s spirit into everyday life. Here, the healing does not end; it evolves into the objects, adornments, and rituals you carry with you.
🜂 Born of The Crucible, Tempered in Shadow, Awakened in FireA mystical, alchemical expression of the sacred in-between — the moment of becoming. A ritual of fire. A phoenix reborn. Survival forged in flame and crowned in ash. Beneath the blaze lingers the earth itself — dirt, smoke, the sharp tang of oil and spark. Raw elements, scarred and unyielding, fuels of transformation in their purest form.
Dustin Sanders, CMH
Certified Master Hypnotist
EFT Master Practitioner
Reiki Level I Practitioner
Bearer of the Phoenix Ember
My name is Dustin, and Ember of the Phoenix is more than a brand — it is the culmination of my life, its trials by fire, and its cycles of destruction and rebirth until, like a phoenix, I rose.
I have walked through fire more than once. There were times when everything I thought I was turned to ash, leaving me face-to-face with my shadows. I know the weight of grief, loss, and doubt. I know what it feels like to stand in that place where you wonder if anything within you still has the strength to burn.
But I also know this: the shadow is not the enemy. It is the teacher. Through deep shadow work — confronting the hidden parts of myself, the pain I carried, and the cycles I repeated — I discovered the raw material for transformation. That work gave me the ability to step into the light work I now do: guiding others through hypnotherapy, energy practices, and holistic healing.
Ember of the Phoenix was born from this passage through shadow into light, and from what I call the sacred in-between — the threshold where endings and beginnings meet, where something must fall away for something new to emerge. Every healing session I offer is rooted in that belief: that transformation is possible, no matter how heavy the ash feels.
Alongside my healing practice, Ember of the Phoenix is also a space of creation. The fragrances, candles, jewelry, and sacred items you’ll find here are not simply products. They are pieces I have designed, crafted, and curated with intention — each one carrying the essence of transformation, forged in the same crucible that shaped my path. They are meant to serve as companions and reminders for those who are walking their own journeys of renewal.
I do not pretend to hold all the answers. What I offer is presence, guidance, and the flame I’ve tended through my own shadows. My role is to help others remember what I had to learn myself: that even in the darkest moments, there is always an ember within you — and even the smallest spark holds the power to rise.
Whisper to The Phoenix
You are the flame. I help you rise.
As the ember sparks the Phoenix
whispers first to its kin. Are you listening?

Gentile Clarities & Sacred Questions Answered
Ember of the Phoenix — Healing Arts & Hypnotherapy
Welcome to this sacred space of curiosity. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about the healing modalities I offer — and how our work together may support your path of renewal, clarity, and inner transformation.🔮 Hypnosis & HypnotherapyWhat is hypnosis, really?Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness — similar to meditation or daydreaming — where the conscious mind relaxes and the subconscious becomes more available for positive change, insight, and healing.
You are always in control.
You cannot be made to do anything against your will.
And you can return to everyday awareness at any time.
It is a collaborative, gentle process.Will I be “out of it” or unconscious?No. Most people feel deeply relaxed and aware. You may notice heightened imagery, emotions, or insights — similar to guided meditation.Can I get “stuck” in hypnosis?No. If the session ended abruptly, you’d simply return to waking awareness — like waking from a nap.What issues can hypnosis help with?Hypnosis may support:
• anxiety & stress
• confidence
• patterns & habits
• grief & emotional healing
• inner child work
• spiritual growth
• nervous system calming
• self-connection
(Please note: I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Hypnosis is complementary to — not a replacement for — medical or psychological care.)Will you control my mind?No 😌
You remain the authority of your inner world at all times. My role is to guide, support, and help you access the wisdom within you.What is an Intake Session?Your first session includes:
• discussion of goals
• history
• expectations
• clarifying intentions
• guided hypnotic work
This creates a sacred container for our ongoing work together.🌙 Reiki Energy HealingWhat is Reiki?Reiki is a Japanese healing art meaning
“spiritually guided life-force energy.”
It supports the body’s natural ability to balance and restore itself — emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Sessions are deeply calming, grounding, and nurturing.Do you physically manipulate the body?No. Reiki is a light-touch or no-touch modality.Is Reiki religious?No. Reiki is spiritual in nature but not tied to any belief system. People of all backgrounds benefit from the relaxation and emotional release it can provide.Can Reiki replace medical care?No. Reiki is complementary — not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care.💫 EFT — Emotional Freedom TechniquesWhat is EFT?EFT combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with guided emotional processing. Many people find it grounding, calming, and supportive for stress, emotional heaviness, and nervous system regulation.Does it hurt?Not at all — the touch is gentle and rhythmic.Is EFT therapy?EFT is a wellness-based, complementary practice and not psychotherapy or medical treatment.🌟 Intuitive HealingWhat is an intuitive session?An intuitive session blends energy awareness, empathic insight, and guided reflection to support clarity, soul-level understanding, and emotional or energetic release. Sessions may include intuitive impressions, sacred guidance, and compassionate presence.
I do not diagnose, predict the future, or claim certainty — intuition is simply one more lens through which insight may flow.🕊 Therapeutic ImageryWhat is Therapeutic Imagery?Therapeutic Imagery uses guided symbolic journeys — through imagination and inner vision — to help you explore emotions, blocks, strengths, spiritual themes, archetypes, and deeper meaning.
It can feel like a waking dream with awareness and reflection.Is this the same as visualization?It can include visualization — but the imagery often flows naturally from within, rather than being scripted.🌀 Past Life RegressionDo I have to believe in past lives?No. These experiences may arise as memory, metaphor, imagination, or subconscious storytelling — and healing can happen regardless of belief.What’s the purpose?Clients often:
• explore repeating patterns
• receive insight
• connect to soul narratives
• experience release
• deepen self-understanding
This work is purely exploratory and spiritual in nature.🌼 Inner Child WorkWhat is inner child healing?Inner child work supports reconnection with earlier emotional parts of the self — allowing compassion, safety, re-parenting, and release of stored emotion.
This work is gentle, trauma-aware, and client-led.🔥 Blended & Multi-Modality SessionsCan we combine modalities?Yes. Many sessions are intuitively blended — such as hypnosis + Reiki + imagery + EFT — depending on what feels aligned and supportive for your journey.
You may also choose a dedicated modality.🕯 Session Logistics & Practical QuestionsDo you offer online sessions?Yes — sessions are held virtually so you may relax in your own sacred space.What should I prepare?A quiet, comfortable space
