Inquiry & Aliveness
What underlies all that I offer is this spirit of generosity. Guidance comes in so many forms. It’s creative, responsive, intuitive, intentional; it’s a living practice. I have developed in my own way to be a mentor & guide, to offer healing & kindness, and to honor & support the people in my circle. You can engage with me when life is tough, transitions are hard, or old stuff is co-opting your current state of being. You can connect with me when life is good, joy is palpable, you are flourishing. Inquiry and aliveness go hand in hand and are not limited to when you feel only one way - the bright & dark moments comprise the whole.
Personal work is varied. Read on for some options.

So here you are… All Parts are Welcome, You are Welcome.
I offer individual IFS Therapy Sessions. These sessions help so many and often in very different ways. Finding what blocks the way toward a full and joy-filled life is personal. The language of and loving orientation in IFS/Parts work is a uniquely effective framework for seeing clearly. It offers a nuanced, layered, & kind approach that aids in a subsequent unpacking of what our clarity propels us toward and this loving path leads more directly to healing the deep seated wounds that many of us may still carry. It’s not fast work, it’s not slow work, it’s not linear work nor is it haphazard, it is right-timed work with a precise yet personally guided unfolding. It requires us both. Honoring my parts has brought me this great good fortune of facilitating healing space for others, YOU! I honor the richness and truth of each person’s path and trust that together we provide what the system needs to relax and receive and heal and grow. Reach out for a chat, let’s see if we are a good fit, the right fit for your healing journey. (couples are welcome)

Finding a way day by day and/or uncovering the spiritual in everyday life’
So many times people find themselves at crossroads. There may be a specific thing or a more general feeling of being unsettled, either way if you are seeking some thing or action and feeling confused about what that is, how to be, when to take action or even what to do or not do next, getting some guidance & coaching can loosen the way into your own deeper knowing. These sessions to explore inner and out landscapes can be very helpful/useful. What may be underlying the current state of things can come forward and be known. Together we can investigate & divine strategies for your particular scenario. The template is flexible. Somatic engagement with the body thru movement & stillness practices, heart based activities, journaling, relaxation & meditation, partswork and more are invaluable tools to support you. Contact me for a mini consult!

These opportunities are rich with personal inquiry, deep connection with self & others, and a freedom to be expressive, open & vulnerable in a space dedicated to collective healing & growth. Plus it’s fun! Groups are 6-8, mostly consecutive, weeks where we are committed to developing the means to contemplate & meet life’s challenges directly while in the midst of our own unique difficulties. Based in practices that facilitate & uncover skillful methods to cultivate more of the qualities we would like to live from, and use to heal from past harm, these sessions include relational meditation techniques and communication practices, alongside personal and collective support. A fluid structure developed from mindfulness meditations, Insight Dialogue, IFS/Partswork, and an expanding into inner presence provides a foundation for inter- and intra-personal connection and fresh insight.
Contact me for details on upcoming group work intensives.

SoulCollage® is an exceptional + unique modality for connecting with inner wisdom knowing + intuitive Self guidance. This practice marries beautifully with spiritual expansion, wisdom tradition teachings + the psychological healing of IFS. As well, it is its own path. Developed by Seena Frost in the 80’s + 90’s SoulCollage® gives the practitioner access to often hidden or otherwise inaccessible aspects, patterns, + opportunities for deep integration + growth. By stepping out of our ordinary thinking patterns with collage making we are opened to a rich landscape of inner truths. Ultimately each card created represents some exquisite aspect of who we are and once given expression + voice, it lends that voice + knowing to our conscious experience of living. With repeated practice we begin to amass a ‘deck’ of these cards which can be consulted and connected with and every time the real beauty of of our humanness + divinity is touched. I don’t know about you, but I need way more of that kind of experience in my life…I hope you join me for some sweet rest that comes by being with yourself in this way. Check the Workshops/Events area for upcoming dates.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
