Inspired and Creative Coaching

We are living in an era where people are more disconnected from their authentic and creative selves, thus creating an epidemic to which people must learn the art form of deeper connection. Our busy lifestyles are preventing us from connection to our body, mind and soul (or our heart) and over a long period of time, a block is formed through our energy system. This results in stress, chronic fatigue, illness, irritability, anxieties, and an overall feeling of loss of control. Each of us have learned an "impressionable blueprint" that has programmed our belief in how we eat, how we work, how we relate to others in relationships, how we formulate friendships, how we harness our creative process, and how we cope. The people who are closest to us often live the same busy pace of life thus not being able to offer the same intimate, deep level of commitment to our personal or professional growth as we may need. I am a type of healer who is preparing for a new world, full of different ways, rooted in ancient freedoms. I address the soul through a connection of the mind, the body and the chakra system. I am committed to each individual's journey with their soul. Some may define this role as a coach, a healer, a guru, a buddy or friend. Our soul will let us know when the time has come to be nurtured and it is no coincidence that you have found this page. I offer individual and group coaching, always blending various modalities, techniques and philosophies from various spiritual practices. The modalities may vary based on an individual's need but the result is the same: an authentic spiritual and psychological awakening that affects all areas of one's life.

Spiritual Soul Based Talk Therapy

The very first part of the process of change is to put what is from the subconscious or unconscious state to a conscious state of mind. The law of the universe is that energy is always working from a cause and effect state of being. In order to change something, we must examine our thought process and behavioral blueprint, and thus affect the energy we are projecting with the world. If we are seeking a drastic change in our lives, we must do something drastically different! The very act of talking about something means that we are in the present moment and therefore conscious of how we are feeling. I do not prescribe to a Western philosophy of only psychotherapy and psychiatry as a means of addressing the soul. Although these two credible practices are excellent at addressing the mind, they do not always address the spiritual. The one organ we cannot live without is the heart, and our soul knows this as well. As long as we do not address our soul, our core (the heart) as well as the mind, we will always be doomed to repeat the same behaviors or thought processes. Through the integration of spiritual talk therapy as well as biodynamic massage, chakra balancing, kundalini yoga and meditation, I address all of the soul's needs besides just the mental component. It is a blend of talking, journaling, moving, breathing and partaking in creative activities (drawing, painting, singing, dancing or viewing art) that one can engage their soul completely and begin the connection to their soul and thus learn the art form of self-healing. In time you will become better at recognizing your body and soul's signs and be more intuitive to give yourself what you need daily to thrive.

Tantra Study

Tantra is a divine practice that encourages a person to engage in their sensuality as a sacred being. I am trained as a dakini: a tantric priestess who in ancient times was assigned the task of teaching young boys and girls in India 'the sacred arts'. Very much like taking math or science, children learned the sacred sensual arts in preparation for their marriage day. It encompasses many lessons that engage the body and soul to partake fully in the sensual. It is the detailed study of all things sensual and arousing as a means to channeling your mental energy and have total control over one's body and to eventually channel it in sync with another person. This is accomplished only when we engage all of our senses in the arousal process and are completely unblocked from stress, worry, anxiety, blame, guilt, and shame. This practice originated thousands of years ago in India and has taken up as a new interest in a Westernized society, similar to yoga, pilates and other eastern-based philosophies. Tantra has many lessons to learn over a period of time, and is meant to be shared with your partner in making you a better lover. I work with individuals and couples in a loving, sacred environment to help guide you into a higher, sacred, sensual realm. In conjunction with biodynamic massage or kundalini yoga, it can help restore balance to an individual who experiences anxiety over the emotional side of their life.

Psycho-therapy BodyTalk Therapy & Core Energetics (Massage)

Developed by chiropractor/ acupuncturist Dr. John Veltheim, BodyTalk is based on bio-energetic psychology, dynamic systems theory, Chinese medicine, and applied kinesiology. It has been extensively tested and used in clinics and hospitals in the United States, Europe, and Australia. By integrating a series of tapping, breathing, and focusing techniques, BodyTalk's intent is to help the body synchronize and balance its parts (organs, endocrine, lymph, brain, meridians, etc.) so they communicate effortlessly and heal themselves. It strengthens the body's innate knowledge of how to repair itself. BodyTalk is used to address a range of health problems including fibromyalgia, infections, parasites, chronic fatigue, allergies, addictions, and cellular damage. Developed by John Pierrakos, core energetics is the unblocking and releasing of emotion in order to self-heal both physical and mental disorders. According to core energetic theory, combining bodywork, psychotherapy, and the spiritual can activate a greater consciousness and assist clients in getting through the varying layers of energy to be able to reconnect with our core and our innate capacity for love.

Reflexology

Based on an ancient Chinese therapy, reflexology involves manipulation of specific reflex areas in the foot, hands, and ears that correspond to other parts of the body. Sometimes referred to as zone therapy, this bodywork involves application of pressure to these reflex zones to stimulate body organs and relieve areas of congestion. Similar to acupressure principles, reflexology works with the body's energy flow to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. Developed in the United States in the early 1900s, this technique is used today to reduce pain, increase relaxation, and stimulate circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. It is especially useful in stress-related illness and emotional disorders. Reflexology is also convenient in cases where an area of the body is traumatized or diseased to the extent that direct manipulation is not appropriate. I incorporate reflexology with every BodyTalk session as well as in Soul Based Coaching. It is extremely helpful in the prevention of daily stress buildup and physical toxins in the body.

Reiki

Buddhist in nature, reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is the combining of universal energy with individual energy to open pathways of healing. It teaches that disease is not separate from the body; it is the body out of balance. Rediscovered by Japanese Buddhist and Christian scholar of theology Mikao Usui around 1921, this energy healing method involves placing the hands on or just above the body in order to align chakras and bring healing energy to organs and glands. In various stages of working with a person, I will incorporate reiki into the practice to maximize energy efficiently.

Aromatherapy

The use of essential oils in body and skin care treatments is known as aromatherapy. Used as a healing technique for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, essential oils aid in relaxation, improve circulation, and help the healing of wounds. I customize every session with the corresponding scent to ignite a chemical response from the brain that may be needed. Once the brain registers a certain response, you may use the same scent over and over to tap into an emotional response. This is most noted during BodyTalk or massage therapy sessions.

Chakra Balancing

Chakras are energy centers within our bodies that are the openings for life energy to flow into and out of our aura. Their function is to vitalize the physical body, to bring about the development of our self-consciousness, and is associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions. In every BodyTalk and Soul based session, I work with the chakras to help re-store lost energy or unbalanced space.

Integrative Breathwork & Meditation

Integrative Breathwork includes an "invocation" before the breathwork begins to invoke the help of the Higher Power (however you view it) in promoting healing and transformation. There is usually less bodywork in Integrative Breathwork. The open sharing session after the breathwork experience includes the opportunity for the person sharing to feel deep into the experiences they are sharing about. This encourages integration and transformation of these feelings. In conjunction with a guided meditation exercise afterwards, it can be very powerful in releasing any repressed emotions and getting the mind to quiet enough to begin feeling again. Can be done alone as a session or in conjunction with BodyTalk or massage therapy.

Kundalini Yoga

``Kundalini'' literally means coiling, like a snake. In the classical literature of hatha yoga kundalini is described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. The image of coiling, like a spring, conveys the sense of untapped potential energy. Perhaps more meaningfully kundalini can be described as a great reservoir of creative energy at the base of the spine. The concept of kundalini can also be examined from a strictly psychological perspective. From this perspective kundalini can be thought of as a rich source of psychic or libidinous energy in our unconscious. The most universal description is that kundalini is awakened by the uniting of the ``winds'' or ``energies'' of prana and apana. Prana is the life-giving energy associated with inspiration. It is associated with feelings of expansion and its center is in the heart. Apana is the downward-voiding energy associated with defecation. It is associated with feelings of contraction and its center is in the anus. The uniting of these two very different forces creates a ``spark'' which awakens the kundalini from its slumber. Through kundalini yoga poses and stretches, we can incorporate better the connection between the physical body and internal emotions. We may do kundalini yoga through either Soul Based Therapy or BodyTalk sessions. I highly encourage practicing daily at home to connect to the physical body in a loving, spiritual way.
