Meet Sabrina McCampbell of Songbird Healing

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Sabrina McCampbell.

Hi Sabrina, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
My business has transformed over the years from being in the aesthetician world to moving into the healing world more full-time.

It evolved as my healing journey evolved. It is hard to say where the “sickness” started, but what I know is when I ended up sick this time around, it would be different. The trauma began during my early childhood, with my mother., if I am truly honest with myself.

My mother is an alcoholic. I am sure the years of abuse are what led me to leave the house early, party excessively, and all the other things that would be traumatic to my nervous system, resulting in my diagnosis in early 2017. This is where it started. Moving to Oklahoma, the depression engulfed me. I couldn’t escape it. It was more than just a severe depression from leaving Hawaii. Before I moved from the islands after my second daughter and the second pregnancy with crazy complications at delivery, my body started to change. I lost my cousin to cancer and knew the grief changed me.

But this wasn’t that. It couldn’t be. I went from a small athletic frame that I had held my entire life to being bloated, overweight, and exhausted. I was getting weird rashes all over my body, sores inside my mouth, and hair falling out, and I barely had an appetite. Yet, I still couldn’t lose this new weight that swallowed me up. After the move, I started having vomiting spells.

My belly would look like I was nine months pregnant at times. The doctors’ visits ensued, and the answers did not follow. I remember being told I needed my gallbladder removed. I sat with this news and knew it was purely wrong. It was like I was infected with something. So, I went from military doctors to finding my own civilian doctor. When I explained my myriad of symptoms to him, the lab was quick to follow. I hadn’t given this much blood since I was sick in the Air Force many years prior.

Then there it was. An autoimmune diagnosis. Like most Americans, I started a regimen of medication immediately, praying this would help. It did not. If anything, my sickness swallowed me even deeper into its grip. One specialist after another followed. The one thing that kept coming up for me was I knew this was different. My mother, sober for a period (maybe a week), gifted me the book The Medical Medium by Anthony Williams.

After my first RA visit, being diagnosed with Lupus, I remembered the book RAVE Diet that I had read back in Hawaii when my cousin Jasmine was sick with cancer. Story after story of healing happening by eating no Refined foods, no Animal products, no Vegetable oils, no Exceptions & Exercise. This protocol had healed humans of cancers and all sorts of other ailments that plagued their bodies. I knew this. From much schooling and research, I knew just how awful American food was and is. There are countless humans trying to scream this to all of us.

The countless documentaries that flood our Netflix aren’t there to scare us. I learned they are there to warn us! Here I was, bedridden, riddled in pain, and miserable. I knew what I had to do. I immediately went plant-based and started juicing 16 oz of organic celery every morning on an empty stomach. Yoga became an everyday practice after neglecting it for a few years. Through my own divine intuition, gained knowledge, and humans who were put on my path, which can only be explained through a belief system, I was beginning to heal. Without medication, without doctors.

All on my own. With real food, exercise, prayer, meditation, sound baths, acupuncture, and a plethora of other self-care modalities. Today, I am out of pain, in remission, and living a fulfilling life full of love. My business came from my healing journey, gaining the tools I needed to heal my own body and live fully in remission most days. I want to share that with everyone.

I’ve had many guides along the way that have been a blessing; now, I want to return the favor. What I know and what I teach is: Trauma holds onto our cells, causing inflammation, in turn causing disease. Heal your trauma, and you will heal your life. “Let thy food be thy medicine”- Hippocrates.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, it’s been quite challenging. Life goes on when we are trying to build a business and create a lifestyle conducive to healing. Through my healing journey, I learned that there were many toxic relationships I was continuing to let destroy me. Lots of relationships change and break away through our personal growth. This may be one of the hardest parts of true growth. Healing isn’t linear. I always look for the lessons in these types of scenarios.

There have been times when I thought, how can I heal others while I am suffering? Easy, I am not doing the healing. The client is, I am merely the facilitator. I have had missteps and setbacks. Coped in ways that weren’t healthy. What I knew was that I already had everything I needed to get through this period in life right inside of me. It was when the resisting stopped that the healing could continue. No matter what we have going on in our lives, we must remember what matters. Anxiety comes when we get ahead of ourselves, depression comes from focusing on the past, and living in the present is key.

Remembering our power and standing in it. No one else can write your story; only you can. I have learned to be the observer, even through the hardest times. If it is not okay it is not over, keep going. My best friend recently passed away from leukemia as well, and that has been hard. I have had to give myself time to be there as he passed and to grieve after he transitioned.

That’s been hard, but through this loss, I can still feel him supporting me and even helping my business to grow through it. Mostly, though, it has been an amazing and beautiful journey with lots of beautiful people along the way.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Songbird Healing, LLC?
My business was designed to be a facilitator of healing. I offer intuitive health and personal lifestyle coaching, reiki energy healing, personalized private yoga sessions, and corporate breathwork and movement. My mission is really to show the collective they have everything they need inside of them to heal.

I offer somatic movement to release trauma. Plant-based transition coaching to rid the disease. Intuitive coaching to help you discover your path to healing. Leaving you the ability to create a life of your dreams! Reiki has been a game changer in my healing journey, so I became attuned to offer these services. Reiki is a universal life force energy healing. Leaving my clients balanced mind, body, and spirit. In these sessions, I write down all the intuitive downloads I receive for my client to take home and work on in between sessions.

I also offer corporate services, in such a changed work environment since 2020, I think it is important for corporations to offer services to their employees to maintain balance, support wellbeing and increase work productivity. Breathwork regulates our nervous system, it is a high impact, low effort shortcut to increase productivity. Clearer thinking, improved focus, and increased energy levels are all benefits my clients see.

What sets me apart, I have been through a lot, I talk from experience not just taking a class to become certified. Which I also have done. I have healed myself, what better guide would you want than someone that has been so deep in the suffering and found the tools needed to rise above and heal. In order to truly see the light, we must walk through the dark.

I take the guess work out of healing, I know the affects and effects that energy has on our body. The effect that trauma has on our nervous system. I, too, know how to rid the body of trauma. I think that’s what truly sets me apart. Clear knowing. Clear feeling. Clear seeing.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
In my experience, sitting in meditation and creating a picture of what my dream would look like. I see it. Through that, I let Divine show me the path. Then I think about the people I want surrounding me on this path. People who would support and uplift me on the journey. The Universe always shows up, and people who resonate with you pop up.

Then you know, if it works for you and them, so it is. I pay mentors and have friends who I feel as though are mentors as well. I believe you need both; friends will protect your heart most of the time. A good paid mentor will make you work for it. Point out areas that need growth. What has worked for me, like most things, is going with my gut. What you first think about someone is usually right. Our souls do not lie to us. People lie to us.

I have often gone away from my first instincts and have ended up learning some really hard lessons that way. Seek out like-minded people who are doing what you want, living a life you could see living, and people who have healed and been in the muck themselves before. We tend to be more vulnerable with people who have experienced the same suffering. It has to feel right for both of you.
