Deron Essex

"How did I get here? It was my 2nd year of college. I was in the turmoil of feeling broken, hopeless, and lost, feeling like I didn’t want to live anymore. But it was God’s will, God’s light and voice that got me up, that got me back on my spiritual and healing path that I initially began when I was 10. I spent over 3 months doing THE WORK. I felt renewed, internally changed. It was almost as if someone turned the attic light on and I could see differently. What came out of all this? My company, Grounded Flight. From a 10-year-old boy who was meditating outside in the hoods of Chicago to a spiritual consultant with an academy that empowers individuals all around the world to transform their inner pain into inner peace. I use my passion, purpose, experience and knowledge to help people evolve into who they were meant to be in this lifetime.
