Our first featured guest is Paul Knoll. Paul Knoll has extensive experience with assessing and Paul Knollunderstanding the spirit of place, that is, where we live or work. His holistic work identifies the multiple energies that reside in our homes, work spaces and in the land. These energies may be helpful but they may also cause unhealthy stress that can be healed through earth acupuncture and other energetic/holistic practices.

Paul also works with his clients to strengthen the relationship between the spirit of place and the spirit of his clients. An open and loving relationship between place and people brings amazing blessings and tranquility to the place and to the people.

He travels throughout the country to assess and heal homes, businesses, and land, and teaches his clients to do the same. He has cleared or healed places as small as a few hundred square feet or as large as 100 hundred acres. He has assisted realtors and architects as they undertake building projects or sell real estate to ensure that the space is favorable for an endeavor.

An emerging niche for Paul is ‘clearing’ a home that is going to be sold or that was just purchased. Paul is also expanding his work to include the design and placement of medicine wheels and labyrinths and teaching how the plants and animals that reside on a place can aid in our journey and in our growth.

Paul has worked with medical intuitives, chiropractors, acupuncturists, dowsers, psychics, reiki masters, place healers, Native American spiritual guides, and shamans. Each practitioner has shared wisdom and knowledge that Paul enjoys passing on to his clients and students. Paul is in the midst of completing a Shaman Apprenticeship with Maine’s Dory Cote, and he is excited about further expanding his work in this sacred tradition.

In 2003, Paul founded New England Dowsing and recently expanded his services and renamed his practice Trust Your Spirit. Paul focuses on helping people understand and believe in their intuition. The magic is in “believing in our selves and realizing that we do know what is in our highest best interest.”

Originally from Pennsylvania, Paul now resides in Maine with his two daughters, a German Shepherd puppy named Koda, and some chickens.
