The MIND

Your personal astrological blueprint allows us to more fully understand the planetary climate that shaped you at the time of your birth. Astrological blueprints go much deeper than just your Sun sign; they examine all the planets’ positions when you were born, as well as their relationship to one another.  This will help you to truly understand yourself, your tendencies and preferences.  Astrology is not destiny; each of us has free will. But astrology presents us with an invaluable resource for increased self-awareness and potential change.  An astrological blueprint helps you to understand and shift things in your favor, through self-understanding.

Introspection work allows us to reflect upon your journey to date.  In a series of dialogues, I will ask the questions, you will provide the answers …mindfully building the portrait of who you are… As we explore questions and answers together, we sketch out a distinct profile of you, in this moment. No judgment --no right or wrong-- just observation and deep exploration. And you can allow this process to be one of gratitude and detachment; you’ve never given yourself a gift like this before. This is an investment in your own well-being – so that you can take action, if desired, and embrace your future in positive ways.

All my coaching sessions incorporate a deep connection with my NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) training as well as my hypnosis practitioner training.  My emphasis is on the images and words that you use to narrate your life, and how those determine the outcomes you experience.  As always, your access to your own subconscious mind is paramount, and this philosophy is woven throughout my practice with you.  More extensive work with the subconscious mind, to target limiting beliefs and unwanted behaviors (such as smoking) can be pursued through hypnosis.   Hypnosis/trance sessions are available at an additional charge.

Beyond introspection lies the personal story-telling work.  Personal story-telling allows us to better understand the narrative that is currently governing your life.

If you’re not where you want to be, we need to understand why.  To do that, we must identify and re-write your personal story. We’ll delve into the conscious and subconscious messages you may have been telling yourself about your life, your relationships, your career, your potential – whether you are an artist, a CEO, a yogi, a schoolteacher, or a barista.  Once we know what your personal stories are, we can maximize them, shift them, or throw them out and start anew.

The stories we tell ourselves become a “legend” -- both in the sense of the broader vision of your life, but also that other meaning of legend – the roadmap that you choose to follow, and how you, and only you, choose to define it.

The positive outcome is that no matter what conscious or unconscious stories you’ve told yourself up until this moment, through our work, you can identify and radically transform them…and create a more powerful legend …a story and roadmap that serves you infinitely more constructively.

 The BODY: Healing and Movement.

“All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.” – Martha Graham

The universal life energy of which we are all composed is a healing force, and it is accessible to everyone who seeks it. Reiki is our conduit to that universal energy.

·        Reiki promotes deep relaxation, reduces pain & stress, and increases feelings of peace & well-being.

·        Reiki functions as a wonderful adjunct to traditional medicine, but does not replace it.

·        Reiki boosts healing energy, making your spirit more open to traditional medicine and increasing its efficacy.

·        Reiki is a technology, a tool –it is useful for those who follow a belief system, as well as those who follow no established religion.

Reiki, and energy healing, is for everyone – all are welcome.  Its energy is universal, it is available to all.

Reiki functions as a super-charged connection to the universal energy that is already around us.   Our access to it is a conduit to healing and nurturing on a spiritual level.

Reiki sessions can be connected in-person or at a distance.  Reiki sessions can be conducted on humans and/or pets! All sentient beings can benefit from Reiki energy healing.

Movement is a healer.  In the tradition of great modern dance leaders Ruth St. Denis, Isadora Duncan, and Anna Halprin, I believe that dance and movement can be a technique for healing and that movement itself can be a source of ritual. It doesn’t have to complicated; you don’t have to have dance training to access the power of movement.  Your everyday movements are the source of your expression; they are seedlings of dance.  While yoga practice is now widely accepted and embraced, I partner with my clients to discover which yoga paths and postures will most authentically unleash the spirit – a customized,  mindful approach.

The SPIRIT

Our partnership, will help you to begin or deepen your meditation practice.

Our work together can include guided meditation instruction, meditation practice, mantra selection, and a conduit to understanding and empowering your lifelong meditation journey.

Meditation is your soul’s silent, intuitive wordless prayer – it is your speed-dial to inner peace.

Meditation is accessible to all people, regardless of experience level, religion, or creed. Meditation calms the mind and soothes the spirit. Meditation connects you with yourself, with those around you, and with all that you cannot see.

Sound baths/chakra energy healing is the use of crystal singing bowls to honor ancient wisdom with modern technology.  We cleanse and tune our chakras to their purest frequency with the resonant tones of these singing bowls.  Again, spiritual sound baths are not meant to replace traditional medicine, but to work in concert with it, and to foster a deeper and more sustainable sense of well-being, by using all of our senses, all of our resources, to support our journey on this plane.
