About Debbie
My story began in Mexico City, where I was born to two medical doctors. My father was a well-respected gastro surgeon and my mother was a general practitioner, so I was conditioned to believe that health was only found through medical science, prescriptions, and surgeries.
My natural talents for planning and organizing took me into a career in corporate public relations and event planning, founding Grupo Casttler, my company offering large-scale events planning and coordination.
Cutler vs Clutter, a professional organization service, followed after moving to Houston, Texas in 1998, and I also founded Scriptum Language Service, offering translating services. My life during those years was full of stress managing massive events, facilitating corporate communications, and bringing order to people’s chaotic homes, but I managed. That is, until my father passed away in 2003, just a few months before I gave birth to my daughter. Between the pregnancy and losing my father, all my suppressed emotions were suddenly unleashed, and the stress I had so dutifully subdued became unbearable, causing my health to decline significantly.
With the conventional medical approach I was raised to revere now failing me, I began to seek out alternative approaches to regain my health. And through Reiki, Zero Balancing, Sound Therapies and Naturopathic protocols, I experienced a profound recovery and even met the love of my life. My goal soon became to carry that positive energy forward and help others restore their health as I did.
Of all the healing modalities I experienced, sound was the therapy that connected most with my own inner gifts, and helped me not only feel better, but allowed me to experience the process of grieving my father’s loss and let go of the pain and sadness I carried with me for such a long time. With my stuck emotions freed through sonic vibrations, my body was likewise freed to restore itself to its natural state of health. So upon learning and being trained to practice sound healing therapy, I felt guided to offer my services through a business I created called Bridging Frequencies.
After several years of operating out of Houston, I now live and work in Sedona, Arizona with my beloved husband and five beautiful pets. Sacred Vortex Holistic Therapies is the new banner under which I seek to expand my offerings from sound and light therapy to reiki, and holistic chakra balancing. I now invite you to follow the guidance that got you here and reach out to me to support you in your healing journey. I would love to work with you!

About Sedona
Sedona is a magical place on this planet that many spiritually-inclined people are drawn to seek out. Surrounded by beige desert for miles, coming into Sedona makes a strong impression with its massive richly-hued red-orange stone formations dramatically rising into the heavens from a sea of verdant vegetation below. And at over 4,000 feet, the sky is often such a deep blue that it feels like you can touch it. The striking contrast between the blues of the sky, the reddish orange of the earth, and the green of the plant life makes simply being in Sedona a form of color therapy which many find deeply soothing simply to gaze upon.
Sedona’s history goes back hundreds of millions of years, as an ancient inland sea evaporated, leaving behind iron-rich sandstone permanently imprinted with electromagnetic energy from the swirling sea currents over millions of years until sun, wind, erosion and life itself shaped the primordial sea floor into a stunning arena for healing to occur. Indigenous Native American tribes in the surrounding areas have long regarded Sedona as sacred. The area is the home of the Yavapai-Apache, who hold that the Great Spirit Mother gave birth to the entire human race in an area known as Boynton Canyon.
Sedona is today a city of mystics and psychics, (art and crystal) dealers and (sound and energy) healers, and people the world over are drawn to the area for its famed metaphysical and spiritual properties as one of the world’s hottest spots for New Age consciousness. And having been formerly a part of Mexico and named after the wife of a Swiss man, I feel right at home as a Mexican woman with a Swiss husband. Sedona has a special quality to it that is unlike anywhere else on Earth. You just have to experience it for yourself.
