Welcome to Creating You Now with Greg S. Carroll

Hello Relatives, before entering into the rest of this website it is important that your read the following message.

I understand that we live in a day and age where one of the best ways for people to find and work with me other than by word of mouth referrals is by searching for the following key words on the internet; Medicine Person, Medicine Man, Shaman, Healer, Reiki Master Teacher, Empath, Intuitive, Life Coach or any other title that helps them find and or relate to the work I provide. It is my hope that by accepting this reality and using some of those titles on this website, will allow more people who are in need of the services I provide to find me. Keep in mind that I’m not a normal Life Coach. The coaching experiences I provide can take people through their entire life and focus on the key points that need to be addressed. I am not a new age spiritual guru nor does anyone in my community consider me to be one. I can humbly say that I’m not into titles. If there is one title that resonates with me it would be a Helper of the People.

I am currently based out of the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles County. I also travel around the USA to help individuals and communities. I offer my unique style of Empathic Intuitive Life Coaching, Addiction Recovery Coaching, Energy Healing Ceremonies, Energetic Cleansing’s and Blessings of Peoples Homes, Businesses and Land, Intuitive Nature Walks, Traditional Usui Reiki Treatments and Classes.

In regards to being paid for the services I provide
In the old days, where money was not exchanged and trade was the only form of compensation for the work that people like me did for the people. There was no need to charge for these types of services because the community took care of the person providing the services by giving them everything they needed to survive in the form of gifts. That cannot always be the case in our current modern culture and it rarely does ever happen.

There is a lot of time, energy, knowledge and commitment involved with me getting prepared to take care of someone and there is always expenses involved i.e. supplies, travel and accommodations etc. that need to be taken into consideration. I’m also a loving father and husband that supports his family. Along with my community as much as possible and needed. So your generous donations are always greatly appreciated.

All the services I provide come from my good hearted nature. I would like to make it very clear that I don’t charge for ceremonies or for people to pray with me. People pay me for all the time, wisdom and energy that I share with them. I have been told that all the work I share is priceless.
If you or someone that you would like refer to me are experiencing financial hardship please feel free to e-mail me at CreatingYouNow@gmail.com and we can discuss payment options that will accommodate you.
If you would like to contribute any amount over the listed prices on this site or make a personal donation to help others, it will go towards sponsoring teens, young adults and anyone who is in need of my services that is experiencing financial hardship. Along with anyone that is in need of utilizing my sliding scale price ranges.

Anyone that is interested in making a donation can contact me directly at CreatingYouNow@gmail.com and I will share the options available for making contributions.

Your generous donations are welcomed.
