"Breakthrough" sessions 

As above so below. What's inside, is reflected around us.

What is blocking your energy, is blocking your vitality and fulfillment.

In a personal session we will first uncover the origin of what is interfering with the fullness of your being. The block. What belief, wound or trauma is asking to be released?

 As a skilled hypnotherapist, somatic trauma healing facilitator, and

"life and death" coach we carefully excavate whats hidden. 

The intention is a reframe of the past experience .

This, helps to free your subconscious patterns

 and heal their impact on the fullness of who you truly are.

This is your "breakthrough"

The session takes two to five hours, depending

and can be split into two sessions.  

Afterwards, we will have a few regular 1 hr integrations sessions, till the pattern or belief has lost its grip. 

Till it is forgotten.

Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation.

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

- Rumi

Training and Practice

 

Over 30 years of Yogic, Buddhist, Somatic and Shamanic practices.

In the year 1990, I died in a car accident and quickly returned back in the ER, changed forever.

It took a year of intense breathwork, asana, and meditation to recover from temporary paralysis and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). The NDE (Near Death Experience) began my process of healing my traumas and awakened my healing abilities. In the following years, as a dancer, I trained in Somatic Experiencing and ecstatic release therapies such as Gestalt and Feldenkrais. I also have been exploring the success of healing trauma with Psychedelics since the mid-'90s and am

a trained trauma-informed integration facilitator. 

My father being a physical therapist was a great resource and after his early death,

I became a bodyworker and trained at

The school of Integrative Psycho Structural Bodywork: From Deep Tissue to Reiki,

I learned from the best in the field.

I worked professionally as a bodyworker and healer for 7 years. 

After caring for my mother while she transitioned, I learned I had a gift to help facilitate those

in the most honorable time in one's life, one's death.

I knew then, I was meant to do this work but it took many years to revisit the calling.

To process the loss of my mother,

I committed more to my yogic practices and

was a full-time Yoga teacher for many years thereafter. 

I'm trained and certified in Iyengar, Ashtanga, Anusara, and Kundalini Yoga.

I've also been initiated in Tantric Buddhist, Shamanic and the ancient Hawaiian healing practice of, Huna.

I've had the great privilege of having sat with The Dali Lama and many other High Master Teachers.

Most recently, I'm a certified Hypnotherapist, Emotional Release Therapist, Life and Death Doula.
