Hello! I am a healer, a coach, a teacher, a writer and a lover of life. I hope to offer you a new way of seeing...of seeing yourself, your life, and everything in it.
After years of working in hospice and other clinical settings, I noticed the same patterns again and again. As Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have seen traditional talk therapies fall short in helping clients release grief, old experiences of trauma or abuse, spiritual questions or old patterns. Pain does not necessarily equal pathology, but the clinical world often treats loneliness and pain , or somehow being outside of the mainstream, as a disorder. Traditional talk therapy addresses the emotional and mental components of healing, but sometimes more is needed. Often at least part of what is needed is a sense of stillness, of coming home to oneself, and a guide on that journey to wholeness.
The body, mind and spirit hold our life experiences, deep needs, our dreams and memories. Even when a person has "processed" painful experiences in therapy, the body may still be storing the memory, which can contribute to illness, pain, or a feeling of being "stuck." This is an area traditional therapy typically is not able to address, and why someone can be in therapy for years without deep results. The sessions I offer are designed to help you release these things from your entire system, often resulting in a sense of freedom from the presenting issue.
Blending many healing modalities, I offer private, individualized sessions to help move you through challenging situations, to help alleviate symptoms of distress, or help you become more empowered in your response to these events in your life. This type of work can be gently and efficiently done in person or by phone. I also offer various types of coaching and can teach you how to slow down, relax and discover your purpose in life. Our sessions are designed to support your process of discovery into new awareness, which leads to renewal and transformation. The aim is to align your inner life with your outer life, to truly live congruently with your values. This unique approach to healing work and coaching helps clear away mental, emotional and physical clutter, so you can listen to your heart and inner wisdom above all other voices.
Many times releasing the stress from our bodies and energetic system helps unblock our "stuck places," and therefore brings clarity, peace and inspiration to continue your journey of healing. In our sessions, we will find these blocks in your physical and energetic system, discern the ways in which they impact your life now and gently release them. The result marks a profound turning point in your life, leading to what may feel like a remarkable transformation. Personal blockages and limitations dissolve. Self-esteem and confidence expands and inner peace begins to grow. Harmony and balance are restored as you learn to access your inner wisdom and grace.
This is a gentle but powerful process and is designed to help you release the past and come into the present so you can live fully. As we do so, we balance and restore symmetry and wholeness to your entire system, which leads to a sense of peace and joy. Our sessions are tailored to facilitate your process of change and healing; as such, we go beyond the surface condition, seeking to find an underlying cause or block. We then gently release it, restoring you to a balanced state of overall well-being.
Know that we do not seek to change a thing or release something because it is or was wrong or bad, but only because you are ready for a change and whatever you are ready to release no longer serves you. Changes and release come when something is no longer a reflection of who you are, who you want to be and where you are going. The work we will do is a gentle process of unfolding and will help you to let go and move into the new, at a pace you set, that feels comfortable and safe for you. |
