Cory Henry

Hello Everyone))

My name is Cory D Henry.

Or, I go by Dante.

Yeah, like the poet)

I've got my own unique story full of ups and downs, set upon circumstances one would think was nearly impossible to have overcame in life, yet, here I am; a character who pushed his way between the floorboards of  the stage, and demanded a place in the spot light for a new show to put on. It's a story I've made for myself. And oh, how life has turned out to be an amazing story after all. And now I'm here to coach anyone and everyone into the life as-they-wish. Do not fool yourself. You're own paradise life is possible. So get ready to dream big. As long as you can take the first step out of what sometimes may feel like one of different dimensions of hell we may get stuck in for a time, your journey will begin to a soul that is free, and a mind that will wake up each day to say

"Thank you:)"

AS-YOU-WISH.

I came up with this title because it sounds "too good to be true." I like it that way. Because after all, if you asked anyone honestly, with no strings attached, if that's what they really hoped for out of life, ("too good to be true") they would untimely agree, "yes", we want such a life that is so wonderful. We all want it too good to be true. So who told you it wasn't possible? I know now that it is, and so i tell you. The process can be only a few steps, or it could be a journey, but the success is a science.

Here, I will share on this bio, a brief telling of my story, and you can see what you think, and how it can relate. I started off in my life in a simple town in North Port, Florida. It was a little port town section near the Gulf of Mexico. I had a mother and father and my younger sister. We were all raised being very dedicated to a certain religion. It was a big part of our life. I never questioned it. And even as a young child, i remember when i first started saying my own real prayers to God, as I knew Him to Be. We had a nice life in Dreams. I remember the feeling back then. My sister and I, and how we played together. I can honestly say, even if there were problems that existed, i enjoyed my life as a child. It was when we started to grow older, that the story flipped it's script, as it often does. 

My sister became quiter. And it was almost like our souls drifted apart. My dad left the home. My mother felt betrayed and had great depression. We were home schooled part of the time. And while this was happening, i just kept thinking to put my religion first, and my God. And so i did. In the ministry, in my studies of scriptures, and in my studies at school. We didn't know so much about the world back then. Honestly, we were shrouded by this veil that seemed all too illusive. 

Years went by, and i kept serving as i was told was the good way. My father did come back home. And we worked in our own contacting work. My goal was to be a missionary. And to travel the world, and find a girl to marry, and live free. I loved the show One Piece, and i loved the idea of adventure and freedom. But when i looked at reality, i saw it was far from my dreams. I was in my mid 20s, and living with my parents still. Our home was a mess. My mom had depression, and my father had his issues too that he did not recognize. My sister continued to be very quiet. And we didn't know what really happened in her mind. But it was clear to see our home was almost possessed by something very dark and sad. We were poor. And made just enough money to take care of our family. And i continued to slave in the ministry work on my free time, because that is what i believed was what i was supposed to do. Our town was full of elderly. And there was not much at all to do. I was becoming more alone for my spiritual path i was taking, and there were very rarely any girls to even meet, let alone be able to date. And then something else came to the equation; I developed a neurological disorder from my mom's genes, that started to waist away my muscles in my hands and feet, making my physical work very difficult.

My life was the opposite of everything i could have dreamed of. It wasn't even so dramatic that i could at least enjoy the fire and passion of lusts, and love lost. My life was of a nobody. But we are all SOMEBODY. And my soul desperately wanted to break free from this void it seems we were in. 

Then that story took on new pains that eventually brought it to it's revise. I thought i had finally found a girl to love and make future plans with. I was working, even though my hands were hurting. And i was pushing myself in the ministry even when i started to question what it was that i even believed in. And then i had a break. The girl betrayed me. I severed my leg and had problems with work. I eventually left the religion, and in doing so, that religion had a rule: if you were baptized with them, and are no longer part of them anymore, then every single member of the religion around the world is supposed to shun you. Not even talk with you anymore.

This includes all you're friends and family too.

I remember how much i wanted to die every day. Suicide sounded so nice to me. Life was like hell, and i was just some fool thrown into. My dignity felt broke in pieces. We're in the modern world, but i knew hardly anything about the world. I had no friends or even associates who were not part of that religion. I had no college education. We were taught not to go to college or university, as it's "part of the devil's snare." My body was falling apart, but i still had to work for these ungrateful rich old people of Florida. And i remember thinking about how i was seen, but even my own reflection, i didn't truly know. I was like a child all over again, but i did not have the sympathy of such. I was an adult man, who just knew nothing, simply because of where i was raised, and ignorance, and for doing what i truly thought was the right path by God to take.

Then one day, i got a call. My sister had a mental breakdown. My mother asked me to try to find her. She went into the woods and was talking with herself. My parents didn't know where she went. I was living with my aunt and uncle at that time. So i drove over to find my sister. I went into the woods, and there i found her. She was attempting to kill herself. But it also seems she was dillusional. She claimed a spirit had possessed her in her left hand. And was speaking to it openly. I could see that she was out of her mind. I was no psychologist at that time. And i never seen something involving "spirits or demons". I just knew that i wanted to save my sister. And i didn't know how. So i sat with her and we just talked. Little at a time. And i told her that i wouldn't stop her from ending her life, but i would at least want to have one last talk with her. So she did. She talked to me more than one night than ever before in our whole life. And she ended up living after that)

I was very confused about what i saw that night. It triggered me to study many many things. I can't to find out my sister had schizophrenia. But, just to be sure, i wanted to study EVERYTHING on these matters. So I eventually went to college for the first time, at 27 years old. I studied psychology, i studied philosophy, i studied theater even, with the masks and archtypes. I asked so many questions, my professors are often shocked. And i studied the many religions too. And about witches and witchcraft, and spirits and posessions. I wanted to find a way to heal my sister, and heal my family, and bring honor to all of us, even though they looked at me as the fallen sinner who left the right way. 

But i didn't care anymore. I had to swallow my pride and shame. (To leave a cult, and to heal, takes a lot of shame thoughts to overcome) and then it happened, that a study abroad trip to Italy was being offered through my college. To go study about Dante Alighieri and the Divine Comedy of his path through the 9 layers of hell.

Hahaha, how perfect, right?

Dante, a poet who fought against the injustice and malpractice of the Catholic's Pope back in the early days of Florence, Italy. And for this, The pope used the politicians to cast Dante out from Florence, and to be separated from his family even, and to be made to wonder the wilderness of Italy. 

My soul saw this as a sign, and many more along the way.

I saw the masks of Comedia Del Arte, the archtypes, the devil's and demons being formed from the shadow world of theater. And i studied art and shading, and the concept of light. And then, i took my psychology of the unconscious mind class. And it's what really got me.

There's plenty more to the story of what happened after that. Traveling Italy with a cave man. Seeing visions of the future that later came true in real life,. Working as a mask maker, working with a theater team and working with Hershey Felner, a Hollywood producer living in Florence. Apprenticing with a psychologist/anthropologist under the organization of UNESCO, a part of the United Nations, to study and help with the Shepards and live stock animals of the Alps, and fighting against the business men who were trying to turn their land into factories. 

I stepped over into Macedonia, as The apostle Paul did, and i studied about the frequencies that hold our whole Universe together. I lived in Istanbul and worshipped at the mosques of Islam. I jumped a mountain ledge over 500 ft, just to prove to myself I could conquer that fear. 

We saw the balloons of cappodocia, and i saw the edges Syria with the biggest sun I've ever seen on this planet Earth, shining over the seas of sand. I lived as a couch surfer in people's homes that would take me, and i bared sleeping through Turkish winter cold at night. I lived among the Soviet countries at the time of the war between Russia and Ukraine. I saw the refugees in Georgia. I slept in the dark and meditated 3 days in the old Georgian monastery with the old preists bones. I lit a flame as the Zoroastrian temple left in the Cacausus, and i saw visions of the dragon among the stars. I met a shaman and apprenticed under him and saw our universe with the ego mask off. 

I learned the art of tarot, and how this Universe is always speaking back to us. I went to the temples of India and received blessings from the swamis. I went back to the U.S. to move my parents from that place in Florida with so many dark memories, into a cooler climate in the mountains with a nice cabin home to enjoy with each other. And my sister has started smiling and talking peacefully again)))

There's much that happened in my single life story. It came with many pains, as a good story usually holds, but I could see, looking back on it all, how it was my own necessary path for me to have grown and to be able to do what i enjoy doing now; Working as a healer, and coach, and Crisis Councilor for all sorts of people, regardless of age, sex, religion, or background. And to smile and tell them "everything's alright :)" and it will be. 

I worked as a Crisis Counselor for awhile, taking calls with people in extreme mental crisis. I had the privilege of being there to help with a few people to save their lives before they tried to end it) i watched as people lit up and decided to turn their life around for the better. I love doing this work. I see no shame at all in a person's darkness)) instead, i see it as something beautiful, knowing what that darkness can unfold to with a little love and direction :)

So, here you go, for whoever reads this,

I'm a Life Coach

I'm a Shaman

I'm a Crisis Councilor and Suicide Hotline Operator

I'm a psychoanalyst, without a degree. You can find out for yourself how much that paper is needed. I continue to study every day in psychology and techniques for healing a person, as it has worked with me and the clients I've already worked with so far. And you can read their reviews if you need the added sense of trust)

I'm a priest and poet who has wandered

And I'm a guru if someone else decides to call me by such

I'm a believer in God still ? even if i don't see it the way any one religion or scientist sees it. I know now about the mystic reality to our Universe. I have no shame to admit that.

I'm a traveler

And I'm a joker

I'm a Tarot Reader,

And I'm Reiki Healer

I'm in the beginning stages of Ayurvedic Medicine,

And I continue to study herbal remedies on my own.

I'm a NASM personal fitness trainer

And my next goal is to become a yoga instructor

And maybe even one day, to call myself an actual Yogi too) who knows.

I study each of the religious holy books to know for sure.

And last but not least, I am, and will forever hold this archetype within me on some level in a healthy way, a Fool )))

Maybe I'm the King of the Fools! At least, in my own mind i can think that. I'm a fool who was crazy enough not to give up when it seemed like the whole universe looked down on him. I'm a fool who was crazy enough not to give up until i made and am still making, all my dreams manifest, to come true.

I'm a fool in love)

And I'm a fool who loves this world and the people, pants, bugs and animals and everything else in it.

I'm a fool who knows what it's like to truly laugh with a heart of joy, and to paint a fake smile on my face to wear around.

I'm a fool, who's journey already began, and i have the pleasure now to know life itself to be the never ending journey that we can enjoy forever)

And if you're a fool enough to try taking that first step on your journey, in your own way, then we can make it out of whatever ring of hell we might be facing at the time, and walk on together to paradise up ahead.Because my friend, i assure you, yes, even YOU

That Paradise is just around the corner ;)

For a longer version of my Story, you can see the YouTube link provided.

My name is Cory D. Henry.

You can call me Dante)

I have had a set of challenges in life, as we all do. And it was my own story to overcome. And i own it now. It's my story, and i can look back on it proudly.

Now I have studied and practice a number of different techniques to build people into the life they do desire, and to heal from their many traumas. 

I had started my psychology studies at the age of 27, after my sister had a mental breakdown in which i found her in the woods one night attempting to end her life. After she was bright back to safety, I began studying on my own for myself and for her. Eventually I began studying in college for the first time, and then my studies took me to Florence Italy where i studied art, Theater, philosophy and the psychology of art and art therapy. From there, i had a big long adventure traveling through Italy partaking in street performing, street art, i met a caveman (i kid you not), worked as a venetian mask maker, apprenticed under a playwright, an actor, and got a personal home tour through a castle owned by a famous producer for such works from California as the sitcom Full House. 

Eventually I went on to travel to Albania, in which I worked for a psychologist and anthropologist, working under the direction of the United Nations to study and bring support to the native shepherds of the Alps of Albania. I joined the Shepards and helped the grazing process all while studying under her guidance, the culture, ethics, and psychological studies of the indigenous people of the Alps. 

I continued on my travels by bicycle from Albania to Macedonia, and from Macedonia to Turkey. In Turkey i had learned about Islam and went to the mosques to learn what their religion was all about. I traveled all over to ancient places such as Göbeklitepe to see some of the oldest artifacts of mankind. 

From Turkey i traveled to the country of Georgia, right at the time of the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine. I studied in an art university there with private lessons; went on to study different forms of meditation including Buddhist Vipassana meditation, Dynamic Meditation, Trancedental Meditation, Yoga, and eventually, i met and became an apprentice with a shaman i met from Russia. To this day i work with him and learn from him personally and can say he is a good friend of mine to this day.

I began studying at a local ISKON temple that teaches about the Hindu Baghavad Gita, and mantras and chants and beaded prayers and dancing. I met a friend there, and he invited me to India. From India i traveled all over, learning of herbal medicine, the different aspects of the Hindu religion, the temples, the energies, the chakras, the mythologies, and the spiritual practices there from. I went back to Georgia, where i now have a new place to call home, and currently, i have returned to the United States in order to help my family, including my sister, for a time.

From all I've learned, I implement a number of branches of therapy techniques including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Psycho Drama Therapy

Psychoanalytics

Narrative Psychology

Talk Therapy of course

Fable Therapy

,

I have different branches of meditation i teach and implement including

Vipassana

Trancedental

Affirmations

Chakra healing

Use of pendulums

Hypnotherapy

Psychedelic meditations

And my own new form of meditation i designed personally.

I studied under the NASM Personal Fitness Training, as well as other fitness trainings, in which i implement:

Crossfit training

Personal Fitness Training

Yoga

Breathing techniques

Hypertrophy training

I study nutrition

I have an herbalist with her own natural remedies,

As well, my own book on herbal remedies, and a vast experience and usage of different supplements.

I practice a bit of shamanism as of yet,

I do tarot reading

I do religious studies

And i teach philosophy

And i have a professional astrologer on hand for anyone that is seeking guidance through the science of the planetary alignments. (I didn't believe it at first either. But now i can say there's a science to it, as it is even studied in actual universities in India. Ask for more if you need convincing.) However, as a personal rule of mine, i do not engage in telling a person's future. I only use apology for gauging a person's life presently and what can be done to assure being on a healthy path. Same with use of tarot cards. I still implement what i learned from the Bible in leaving the future up to God, fate, or the Universe. Whichever you would like to call it.

In all, i have learned a lot to get myself out of hell. And i would actually love it to help pull others out as well. Contact me for a free initial consultation. And the price can be negotiable depending on a person's honest circumstances. No need to feel pressured or guilted. Trust me, i remember the hassle i went through for a long time, finding a good therapist, and i remember not even being able to afford one at times. We want you to have a great life. So we can figure something out together.
