FINALLY ME!
How Shamanic Journeying Healed Childhood Trauma and Gave Me Back My Life
By Frank Sala & Valerie Devi Carpenter
What If the Missing Pieces of You Were Never Truly Lost?
🖼 [Full-Width Illustration: Frank as “a burglar in his own body” – isolated, fragmented, or looking lost in his own skin]
✨ “I was a burglar in my own body. A trespasser. An impostor. Then I built a Garden. And my life changed forever.” ✨
For decades, Frank Sala felt disconnected—trapped by trauma, burdened by self-doubt, and unable to connect with joy. Therapy, self-help, and sheer willpower weren’t enough.
Then, at 60, everything changed.
Guided by master sound healer and shamanic counselor Valerie Devi Carpenter, Frank embarked on a journey beyond the limits of ordinary reality—where he met spirit allies, uncovered lost parts of himself, and finally began to heal. Through shamanic journeying and the power of art, Frank transformed his pain into something astonishing: a story of resilience, healing, and self-reclamation.

Facing the Darkness
🖼 [Illustration: Frank trapped in his past—perhaps an image from his moment of despair, loss, or trauma revelation]
✨ “I saw no flame, only a billowing column of sooty, black smoke. Something foul smoldered within. Was this my own shame? My anger? Could I be rid of it?” ✨
Frank’s journey wasn’t just about healing—it was about confronting the deepest wounds of his past. This book takes you into the darkness—the childhood trauma, the self-doubt, the relentless inner critic—and then shows you the way out.
If you’ve ever felt lost, broken, or unsure if true healing is possible, Finally Me! offers a profound message:
🌿 Wholeness is possible.
🌿 Transformation is real.
🌿 Your story isn’t over yet.
A Journey of Healing & Self-Discovery
🖼 [Illustration: Frank encountering White Wolf or merging with Sacred Tree]
✨ “A wolf. Sturdy. Strong. Silent of words, but clear on intent. He had come to stand by my side. I didn’t know it yet, but I was no longer alone.” ✨
Guided by shamanic journeying, Frank met White Wolf, Sacred Tree, and other powerful allies who helped him piece together what had been lost.
