- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We meet by zoom, phone or in-person and find out exactly what you are looking for, and where you desire greater clarity and support. We will make a plan together, whether it's for a one-time session or a series. During a first session, I will ask intuitively guided questions to discover how you work and how you learn and assimilate information. From there, we open to your innate creativity and wisdom. Using your healthy life experience, we invite in inner technologies, while working with outer actions, to help you find you the right support for your life. Creative ideas, recommendations, and suggestions in alignment with what you are working on are offered. Meditation, breathing practices, and guided imagery may be incorporated to support the direction you are moving in. Journal writing and creativity tips may be given. There will be opportunities to learn more about creativity and compassion, and about your creativity specifically. Tools to help you rest and relax deeply, with practical suggestions that make sense to your life are offered. Together, we listen into the deep silence, into the space between what was and what will be, into the possibilities that are alive and here for you. You are witnessed in your mighty beauty and the richness of who you already are. Vital life-giving energies that nurture inspiration, and the actions you will take, are realized to enliven and bring into reality your dreams.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My mother was my first teacher. She taught yoga and meditated an hour a day in our home when I was a little girl. I followed her into these pursuits as a teenager, traveling internationally, studying many different forms of meditation with world teachers from the United States to in India and Japan. I am an ordained minister, certified in healing and craniosacral therapy. I have studied with the medium, James Van Praagh, and the healer Rosalyn Bruyere. I studied with sound healer, Joseph Rael, and many others who possess ability. I have a powerful background in the healing and theatrical arts, having studied visioning work, voice, dance, theatre, and all forms of artistic expression including painting and drawing. At the age of nineteen, I studied homeopathy and took my first official hands-on healing course. I went on to study macrobiotic and vegetarian cooking, and worked as a private cook and instructor for many years. I am a facilitator and mentor in the field of compassionate communication, and I have studied with Thom Bond, John Kinyon, and the works of neuroscientist researcher, Sarah Peyton. I am the author of the book, Journaling for Well-Being & Peace, the editor-author of Women Celebrate: The Gift in Every Moment, the creator of the cd-mp3: Meditation for Relaxation, and the online course about how to rest (how2rest . com) I graduated with a degree in Sociology from Hamilton College with a specialty in death and dying, and mental health.
