I was born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, in 1974 to my mother, who taught dance, and worked diligently at other jobs like landscaping, and accounting, and to my father, who worked primarily in trades, like welding, carpentry and office cleaning.
This beginning had its gifts and plenty of challenges. As a result of my mom, I began learning dance basics before I could walk. A practice that included mirroring, visualization, repetition, balance, public performance, hard work, and so much more. In high school I accepted a full scholarship at Harrid Conservatory for Dance in Boca Raton, Florida, a pinnacle achievement. That's where I realized that a career in ballet would become a future I didn't want to endure.
Leaving what I thought was going to be my dream come true left me in a very empty, often depressed state. It took several years of self-examination, exploration, alcohol and drug use, homelessness and turbulence to figure out that I was never a dancer, a poet, a carpenter, waiter, or gardener; I am simply Cameron Lee Downie... who dances, writes poetry, builds, serves, tends gardens, and whatever else I want to do!
The major magical turning point in my trajectory happened while working for New Life Youth and Family Services counseling troubled teens. My supervisor (secretly my mentor) gave me the complete “Neurolinguistic Programming Practitioner Training" on 40 cassette tapes along with its complete manual. Forever altered through the patterns and strategies of NLP I became deeply grateful.... and I studied them obsessively. The changes, I realized, are generative. I continually apply the patterns and practicing the approaches with great enthusiasm, excited experiencing the apparent permanence and effectiveness of these tools.
While at New Life I graduated from East West School of Massage Therapy with certifications in reflexology, aromatherapy, kinesiology, and several other healing modalities such as Reiki. In many respects I realize that I've been freed from the “matrix” of generational programming. In the next chapters of my life story, I'll continue to write my own tale. This is where my grand adventure has now led to you.
In my early 20s, I decided to “jump
empty-handed into the void“ by exploring America with little more than a backpack, my skills and a few hundred bucks. While developing “street smarts“ and resourcefulness I took many odd
jobs, found shelter with strangers that became family in strange places I turned into sanctuaries. Where I am is what I call home.
Learning how to craft a life anywhere starting with little more than your abilities is powerful! At the least it's confidence building and a sprawling education about how exceptional, difficult, unique, and dramatically underestimated we humans are. Becoming licensed and certified in multiple disciplines over the years combined with the wisdom cultivated through paying dues... literally and figuratively, I have come to understand this; The only honest way to qualify one to offer guidance to another is through traversing adversity and overwhelming challenges and coming out on the other side with a map to offer. My gratitude for the exceptional elders who invested their time and interest in me is beyond measure. I'm often reminded that it is my sublime duty to give back so the future "masters of living an enriched life" will find their way.
These days I'm ecstatic to “ride the river of life” with my beloved wife Michele, while weaving our gifts into one colorful tapestry. Together, we navigate the challenges and embrace the joys of the world and it's shifting opportunities as it becomes more or less intelligent and digitized. Our home is intentionally decorated and humble. Adorned with art we create, family photos, mementos, and gardens it is truly an inviting sanctuary for friends, family, ducks and deer to relax and shape future memories. From the soothing sounds of the brook outback, the mellow music (we also make), the soft scents of diffused aromas, to the calming honey sweet hot tea… I intend for my life to be what it is… And I’m here to continue to manifest more, like a wizard with the power of a long-lost word.

Sharing the powerful techniques and tools used by the most successful people in changing limiting beliefs and self-concepts into empowered agency, greater options, and a more grounded and joy filled life has been my passion for over three decades. Having employed many transformational arts and sciences to improve my life experiences, and that of countless others, has been priceless in growing and maintaining a fulfilling mission-based practice.
With the birth of many neurosciences, most approaches for treatment have been focused on prompting a subject to recall trauma and connect to it while reliving the associated feelings. This is typically painful and frequently further anchors those past events into their neurology and therefor the potential personality.
As the study of the mind, body, spirit connection has matured several philosophies have developed into structured practices which do not require a prolonged exposure to a past experience in order to alter their experience. Memories associated with painful historic events, we now know, are flexible and can be edited, adjusted and rearranged. Any stimuli which used to trigger a “problem state” with undesired outcomes, such as a phobia, now, without conscious effort, becomes the cause for a new and literally automatic set of options and therefore outcomes.
From deep belief changes using neurolinguistic programming to timeline alterations with effective guided meditation, to collapsing anchors, developing a circle of excellence, or shifting limiting beliefs with the swish pattern, what used to be a problem now becomes a resource; “A true solution is always more permanent than the problem used to be “. My framework and catalog of techniques for programming internal processes paired with powerful tools for maintenance and future planning are the keys to unlocking the “halls of greatness” used by our most cherished influencers and innovators.
Unless a physical advantage is required such as being tall enough to dunk a basketball or being small enough for becoming a professional horse jockey, we can do anything anyone else can do! Using, teaching and offering these keys is how I share these gifts I've been given. Together we can trance-form our worldwide community into a dynamic family that cocreates a better life. It's truly an honor to be at your service!
