I am Carmen Jitariuc , proudly mother of 3 beautiful children and i am originary from Bucovina , Romania a very sacred place where Heaven lives on Earth and the Vibration of the Mother Earth heals the wounds of our Ancestors.
I am the Proudly Principal and Founder of Halcyon Health Services and Halcyon Education Services Eire, and the idea came up few years back while working as a volunteer with orphan children’s and people with disabilities in Romania, and volunteer with The Adventure Project Ireland, which is an outdoor activities organisation which was very deep engaged on reducing the crime rates among children in North Inner City Dublin and helping people in recovery from addictions and crime diversion programs taking them into outdoors helping them with mental health, personal development and to build core values.
Through that period noticeable visible changes on their behaviour, patterns and personality traits started to be very visible which led to different insights on how things can be developed to be brought forward and where can be make an impact in individuals life.
As mentioned before my origins are going back in the Mountains of Carpati, Romania from a big family of 11 siblings, 3 half sisters and 7 sisters, being my Father 7th Daughter and coming from a gifted mother who had the gift of seeing and feeling being connected to the Ancient Wisdom of our Ancestors and so was my Father, and so am I and so is one of my daughters.
Since an early age I always felt different and never really fit in because of who I am. Since an early age, always on my own, with just one true friend , I could sense , see , feel which at that time it was very bad in such society, but I loved being me, called a witch and I spent most of my years wondering in the mountains with all wild plants learning their benefits, creating remedies that my mother taught me, foraging, selling remedies , wild berries , mushrooms, and gained my own money as things was though at home.
My mother Lupescu Doina was a young widow at 47 raising 8 kids on her own, and she was a very strong role model for me in particular, in that time society called us poor but we was the richest people, few will understand what that mean, as the true wealth we had wasn’t measured in material things but in the freedom we had.
Since early childhood as I remember Life started in the Small city of Campulung Moldovenesc, where I had a beautiful joyous life until the age of 11 when my Father passed away, which I counted as a blessing to have him in my life and guiding me through the most important years of life, because in our culture the most important years of life are the first 7 years of life that determine the future in regard to principle and core values. Until then since early age I was taught by my father the survival skills- how to fish, forage , chop wood, gardening ,growing veg and plants and even communications skills with the elderly of our community and the gipsy community.
One of my sisters had a Godfather who was an elder of the gipsy community which after my father death took up the role of guiding me and supporting me through life until he passed away in November 2010 when I was blessed already with my 3 beautiful children. Was a solid rock and blessed to have his support, to learn from him and avail of his Wisdom.
The first memories I have of him when we was singing in the hotel Zimbru, me by voice and him playing his instruments, great memories. I still remember very clear when my first daughter was born he looked straight in her eyes and said : she is Kali, Kalia, which is a gipsy word, and he loved her straight away he was the grandfather and he was very proud to spend time with my children every time we was meeting or visiting.
Loved listening to him while singing his pain away, he thought me how to take things as they come, he had a hard time, after he buried his 4 sons, this was – Zaim Petru a guardian on earth for me , now is watching from the other side together with my parents and friends and family members that passed away in the last years .

Was a unique way of looking at life since early childhood, it was completely different , we was so well in tune with nature and with our community, our escape was the mountains, full of mystery , will animals – wolfs bears, venous vipers, clean streams with rich waters, wild fruits and mushrooms from which we was making a living, that was the simple life, or our escapes at the river Moldova to catch small fish called ”boisti” to cook them on our made up barbecue. We was very clever cutting my mom net curtains and stealing her pots to catch fish, we always got caught and put to clean the house make it pristine as a punishment . It was great times.
In 2006 Mother passed away and i was left in charge as head of the family to look after my younger two sisters and to make sure everyone else is kept in check.
Time always did went very quick and as I Look back so many great memories , some painful but no matter what we did keep going. We was made that way to just keep going no matter what , and deal with things as they came our way.
My love for Mother Earth led me to start study more in depth Forestry, Fauna , Flora , wild animals, hunting and in 2006 I did graduate The Bucovina College of Forestry as forestry technician, and at that time I was the only ever mother with two young children that had graduated the College, and that was possible with the support of my Teacher Jaluba Petru and My mother who did see me for who I was and never lost faith in me giving me their unconditional support. through my hard times as a single mother . As I type I am looking back how important was their support then for where I am now.
Mother always said :
”Respect the teachers no matter how they are as they are the second parents you have going through life”, and she was right .
In 2011 one of my sisters got me a one way ticket to come to Ireland , looking back I’m smiling, how it all played.
I went to many countries in Europe until then for short periods to work, trade, but raising 3 children wasn’t easy so I had to make the step, the hardest decision to leave my kids in Romania to be looked after while I was here working 7 days a week to be able to send everything they need to be educated and raised , looking back was the hardest thing I ever did, I didn’t had a choice , that was the choice.
I thought I will be here just for 1or 2 years , clear my debts and buy a home , but plans didn’t work that way, Universe had other plans, and went ahead with it.
As the years went on, being reunited with my children after 3 years -4 years I thought I found peace, but was just the start of a new journey, The Healing journey for me and my children , what a journey.
I enjoyed keeping in touch with people back home and supporting them but I’ve seen it need it more than I was doing , then I decided to change things and start getting educated into health area to be able to help my own people home, but first my children.
It all led to start my journey to into the Complementary Therapies, outdoor leaders , personal trainer and all the courses to get the skills and the knowledge I thought I need it to get educated.
I didn’t even knew properly what kinesiology was, I booked Touch for Health which was 4 weekends training and I thought that’s it, but well things don’t work like that.
That was the start of it.
Started with Touch for Health and at the same time I was working as a volunteer with Willie Whelan , at The Adventure Project Ireland which put me in the front line working with children from North Inner City Dublin 5 Lamps area and people in recovery from addiction and Crime diversion programs. Was a huge lesson and life experience and my mind never actually stopped eager to learn more and see how things can be addressed from so many different angles.
I felt I’m like an octopus- working , looking after family , training jiu-jitsu, doing various courses in kinesiology, nutrition, personal training, personal development, running marathons by myself and with my kids, volunteer in community gardens, in kids schools projects, cycling every day, and I thought I run myself thin, and I did in fairness until 2021 in April when a life changing accident which led to my life to stop in one place happened.
Until then I took every single opportunity to try to live and enjoy life but always felt I missed something.
That moment in particular, brought a lost of trauma to surface, suffered memory loss, PTSD, nightmares, anxiety, severed my relationships with my kids more deep than they were and i had to start from zero again like a small kid with baby steps.
At the suggestion of Willie I enrolled into college , as discipline and schedule was need it to be able to move on, the Shackelton course, from which i graduated in 2023 as Outdoor Leader, and while I was in recovery and rehab, with:
John Prendergast MA Psychotherapy for my PTSD, anxiety, nightmares and how to prevent events from happening as I was constantly in fear, I still remember the day I rang him saying – I did hit the rock bottom, and I need help, that was very hard to do as I never asked for help, my Pride , I was always offering help and it took me 1 month to make the call, a month of nightmares, anxiety living in hell.
Don Wardo from Irish Strength Institute dry needling and strength and conditioning, Richard Dodd IFSC Physiotherapist dry needling, consultancy, and physical support , Sports Surgery Clinic and a whole team of Consultants from Mater Private to whom I am very grateful for all their amazing work and support.
After my physical abilities and recovery was on the line, realised that more deeper issues was coming to surface – the transgenerational trauma which I couldn’t express , understand or make sense of it.
My Kinesiology teacher was great support Ger Casey and when I did explain what happened she got back to me suggesting that I should do Sylvia course as she will do it online, and so I did. Ger was a great support at that time for which I am very grateful.
In 2021, 27th of August I started Transforming DNA Memories with Sylvia Marina, seen her in 2012 in a vision while in Solid Rock Church Dublin, it was great to finally meet her in physical form.
That day I was able yo talk about everyone on the zoom as I’ve seen them in my visions but I didn’t knew who I was, I was lost.
As the day went it all started to make sense , all the sleepless nights , all the emotions , overwhelming , and it was a simple fix to it – bringing the brain at a certain wave to clear and heal, while I was healing myself everyone was healing with me.
I love Sylvia work and last year, in 2024 to become a facilitator of her work . It had a huge impact on my recovery, it did help me and my family to heal, not just my children that I’ve seen positive changes, but even on my sisters too and we continue in our journey and since then it never stopped.
After few years of rehab, recovery and living the physical, emotional trauma led to unique combination of experiences and expertise on how people who are passing through similar incidents can live again and heal and feel alive.
I remember Richard Dodd saying one day in the clinic, when I asked him:
How can I explain to my kids I’m not ok?
He Looked at me and said:
Your the worst case of Concussion that I ever seen , you looked like the soul left the body, there was no light in your eyes.
And he took the time to put together videos for my kids to look at and understand as they seen I lost my mind I couldn’t remember things, asking the same question 10 times , forgetting to eat , wash myself or who they were.
It didn’t make sense then, It took months seeing the same thing My body sitting on my backpack and Me outside the body asking shouting for help, it was simple, yet soul left the body and came back that why was so hard to recover, I was feeling pains I never was able to explain, I was empty inside and couldn’t explain.
That was the second experience of that kind in my life.
I think sometimes, Universe gives us a knock in the head to wake up, to see that life is much more than running desperately to make money, that cherishing moments with our loved ones is more important than all material things, and it seems I was struggling to slow down, I wasn’t able to say no, until Universe said : Stop !
And so it happened .
Trained with leading specialists in different fields, learned from the best, and accessed my Ancestral Wisdom to go on my own path which led to today.
I combined everything I learned in simple to use protocols to manage trauma at all levels and to thrive and be successful .
Thank to the continues support of my children and to each and every specialist who gave 110 support, throughout my recovery period I made full recovery and I am able to provide Top quality trauma recovery for people who unfortunately are going through similar situations .
Thank your for Reading, and i hope it will help someone understand that they are not alone, and asking for help , the right people will come into their path .
If you don’t ask you won’t receive help.
