Meet Merit Solara Duran

Founder of the School for Intuitive Ascension
Creator of the Shadow to Self Method™• Master Trainer • Intuitive Ascension Coach

Merit Solara Duran is a world-class intuitive coach and transformational teacher known for one thing above all:

She sees what’s in the way—and helps you remove it.

Where others work on the surface, Merit works at the root.

She has an extraordinary ability to identify the hidden patterns, emotional imprints, and unconscious conditioning that quietly shape your reality—so they can be cleared, not managed.


Over 20 Years of Deep Transformation Work

With more than two decades of experience in energy healing, emotional clearing, and intuitive development, Merit is a former staff member of one of the most respected psychic training institutes in the United States and a certified Master Trainer of the Goran Technique™.

Her clients often say:

“She has a gift for making the unconscious, conscious.”

But more importantly—she helps you release it.

Her work goes beyond awareness.
It’s about permanent change.


The Work: Removing What’s Not You

Merit specializes in helping people:

  • Release deeply rooted emotional patterns

  • Clear trauma held in the body and subconscious

  • Dissolve ancestral and past-life conditioning

  • Eliminate inner conflict and emotional triggers

  • Reconnect to clarity, confidence, and true self

Her method blends powerful emotional clearing techniques with advanced intuitive training—so clients don’t just heal…

They become a different version of themselves.

A version with:

  • No emotional noise

  • No internal sabotage

  • No confusion about their path

Just clarity, alignment, and forward movement.


Her Story: From Survival to Sovereignty

Merit’s work is not theoretical—it’s lived.

Raised in San Francisco by a Chinese-American father and Japanese-American mother, she grew up in an environment marked by instability, emotional neglect, and exposure to addiction and violence.

By the age of nine, she was already experiencing deep depression and suicidal thoughts.

Years of traditional therapy brought insight—but not relief.

Everything changed when she discovered the Goran Technique™.

Through this work, she was able to permanently clear the unconscious patterns driving her pain—not cope with them, not manage them, but remove them.

That transformation became the foundation of everything she teaches today.

“The deeper you clear, the higher you rise.” — Merit Solara Duran

MEET YOUR GUIDES

Meet Todd Williamson

Co-Director of Education, School for Intuitive Ascension
Clairvoyant Teacher • Star Magic Mentor • Energy Healer

Todd is known for his ability to guide people through profound inner transformation—especially when they feel lost, disconnected, or at their breaking point.

His work bridges grounded clairvoyant training with advanced energetic healing, helping individuals release what’s out of alignment and return to their natural state of clarity, stability, and inner power.


From Intuitive Training to Leadership

Todd began his journey in 1998 through a psychic development program at one of the most established training institutes in the United States. By 2000, he had fully committed to his path, completing an intensive clairvoyant training program in California.

Through hundreds of psychic readings and aura healing sessions, Todd developed a refined ability to perceive energy, communicate spirit-to-spirit, and facilitate deep transformation.

He later advanced into teacher training and was invited into a leadership role as Director—where he trained and mentored hundreds of students in awakening their intuitive abilities.

His teaching style is known for being both grounded and expansive—helping students not just open up psychically, but stabilize, understand, and apply their abilities in real life.


The Path That Shaped His Work

Todd’s journey is not linear—and that’s what makes his work powerful.

After stepping away from teaching, he pursued a path in the music industry—forming a band, producing an album, and working with record labels. While this chapter didn’t lead to commercial success, it became a deep initiation into identity, creativity, and the realities of external validation.

What followed was a nine-year “dark night of the soul”—a period marked by grief, depression, addiction, and intense inner struggle.

This was not a detour.
It was the work.

Through navigating these depths, Todd gained something most teachings cannot give:

Embodied understanding of both shadow and light.


Advanced Healing & Star Magic

In 2021, Todd expanded into higher-frequency healing modalities through training with Jerry Sargeant, founder of Star Magic Healing.

He is now a certified Level 2 Facilitator, working with:

  • Sacred geometry

  • Light language

  • Frequency and energetic coding

  • Multidimensional healing work

This allows him to support clients not just emotionally—but energetically, structurally, and at the level of their entire system.


The Work: Recalibration & Return

Todd specializes in helping individuals:

  • Release deep emotional and energetic imbalances

  • Move through grief, addiction patterns, and self-sabotage

  • Stabilize their energy and nervous system

  • Reconnect to their inner clarity and direction

  • Integrate both shadow and higher awareness

His approach is not about bypassing—it’s about integration.

Not escaping the darkness—but transforming through it.


A Teacher Who’s Walked the Path

Todd’s strength is his presence.

He meets people exactly where they are—without judgment, without pressure—and guides them back to themselves with clarity and precision.

His mission is simple:

To help you return to your own light—fully grounded, fully aware, and fully yourself.
