HOLISTIC WELLNESS
MINDFULNESS, MEDITATION AND SPIRITUALITY
Grace's white-light, spiritual awakening experience was so powerful and profound that she considered leaving everyday life to live a monastic life as a Zen Buddhist monk. She was blessed with the experience of transitioning through the process of death along with a glimpse of the types of service work assigned by the Divine as part of her spiritual awakening to share with the living. Given her Divinely blessed mystical and prophetic gifts, including the ability to communicate within and throughout the Spiritual Dimension and beyond, she chose to embrace her spiritual gifts in Love and Light as a Spiritual Advisor to help others awaken from who they think they are to who they are meant to be, to learn the Truth of Eternal Life Everlasting.
​
As a survivor, thriver and expert by experience of Stage 3(c) colon cancer, childhood trauma, molestation, rape, domestic abuse, suicide and PTSD, the after-effects of chemo and multiple surgeries as well as other life-challenging dynamics, Grace is an active steward of the community and a strong advocate for holistic wellness education, mental health, non-violence, alternative and integrative medicine and wellcare options. She also advocates for local, state, national, global and multi-universal systemic transformations and paradigm shifts--from education, technology, home life and healthcare, to business, politics, social services, and justice.

HOBBIES AND ACTIVITIES
How Grace loves spending her time...
Grace De La Rosa was born in Virginia and grew up in Atlantic Beach, FL--the eldest of four in a family where her parents are still happily married after 57 years. Her ethnic background is diverse: Filipina, Spanish, Hawaiian, Chinese, Norwegian, English and Sub-Saharan African. She's a proud U.S. citizen and Born-Into the military lifestyle. Grace's father retired from the Navy as an MS-1 Cook. Her former spouse was a Navy F/A-18 Hornet Strikefighter jet pilot (think Blue Angels) and a P-3 pilot.
​
She strives for joyful learning and living by practicing a spiritual life of Mindful Living and is willing to step outside of her comfort zone to face her fears head-on. She's experienced piloting a plane, snow skiing, scuba diving, skydiving, paintball wars, and traveling. She likes to soak in the culture's history of traditions, arts, architecture and daily lifestyle--eating and sleeping as the locals do.
​
Grace enjoys the arts (e.g. music/theatre/live entertainment, museums, paintings, photos, architecture), literature, and botanical gardens. She's a beach girl at heart and so appreciates in-tact seashells. Anything related to the sun, clouds, moon, stars, rainbows and other skyscapes capture her attention. Grace's favorite splashes of color are bright citrus orange, turqoise blue and gold. A few of her favorite scents are from flowers such as magnolia, rose, gardenia, peony, plumeria, honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossoms; aromatic wafts of food cooking in the kitchen; the ionic shift in the air just before rainfall; and the scent of a freshly mowed lawn.

Testimonials
I have known Grace since my time as an FBI Special Agent in the Jacksonville office. On my departure from the FBI in 1988, I operated a high-line investigative operation. Grace worked with me, another investigator and my father, Dale Carson, former Sheriff of Duval County. Her character is impeccable. She was well thought of by her co-workers at the FBI. For my part, and I would speak for my entire organization, I would not hesitate to highly recommend Grace for any position of trust and confidence.

Grace has the amazing ability to get to the heart of any issue people are going through. She has helped me personally with some major life changes and the process has been transformative in a positive way. Grace shines out the most beautiful Light from her Soul and she is very easy to talk to. She exudes compassion and kindness and listens intently. These, in my opinion, are all keys when it comes to working with an awesome coach.

I have had three readings from Grace. During one of my readings Grace brought forward my son that I had lost due to a miscarriage. I was not able to know my son on Earth, but Grace gave me a glimpse of the person he would have been, and gave me reassurance that he is around me every day. I am so thankful for the love and compassion Grace showed during my emotional reading! She is an amazing medium. Every loved one of mine that she connected with was spot on. Thank you Grace for delivering messages I never knew I would be able to receive. It was such a beautiful gift!​
