Life & Work with James Dean Lestrange of Long Beach

Today we’d like to introduce you to James Dean Lestrange

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve always been insistent on “figuring myself out”, finding the truth, desiring to know the depths of my own soul as well as everyone else’s. I spent time exploring different spiritual paths and have a tattoo of a Vaulknut betwixt 5 Triquetras in a Celtic-Cross dagger on my left shoulder surrounded in runes that translate to “God gave me you.” I’ve been close with the universe since I was knee high to a grasshopper. As the vaulknut is a Norse Pagan symbol of the death and rebirth of a warrior, it is my firm belief that my soul has lived many lives and that it is my duty to give of myself as much as I can in this lifetime. I started my work as a way to give back to my community. Being a queer, trans, autistic person has forced me to question everything in my life and to question life in general. I find the reasons why humans do the things we do, act the way we act, and emote the ways we emote absolutely fascinating. I went from one religion to another with spirituality being the final “ending” point for myself. I use the knowledge and experience I have to cultivate a safe environment for relaxation and self exploration.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My support system throughout my life from childhood had been unstable. I found myself figuring out life by experiencing hardships and throwing myself in the deep end by emancipating myself from my family home as a young teenager. I use my unique life experience to help push me further towards my goals. Struggling with trauma and abuse early on in life lead me to where I am today but it didn’t make me who I am, I crafted myself and continue to.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m proud of my ability to bring depth to the characters I play and in my holistic healing work as well. Energetic transfer and spiritual growth are present in every area of my life and work.

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Standing up for what you believe in may cost you the people that were holding you back from your own personal growth. Putting our passion towards collective healing is the way of the future and the way of love.
