Introduction

** All of my sessions are Virtual/Online (via Zoom). We can connect no matter where you are. No insurance. My approach is to support you in discovering the root causes of suffering and its underlying drivers so that you can move more freely towards long-term healing, balance and self-direction. Through our work, the ultimate intention is for you to walk away with tools to facilitate your ongoing self-awareness, emotional intelligence, resilience and contentment. True transformation is the goal with whatever circumstance you are facing. I work with clients seeking support with: Scoliosis, back pain, sciatica Chronic physical pain, tightness Stress, over-work, challenges in work-life integration Over-thinking, constant worry, rumination Miscommunication, conflict and unfulfilling patterns in relationships Self-judgement, imposter syndrome Low energy, decreased motivation Lack of focus, difficulty finding and living your purpose Navigating major life transitions: loss, divorce, employment changes, retirement, etc. Body, brain or life challenges where the client feels stuck and uncertain Our work together may include targeted self-exploration; methods to help slow down thinking and promote attention management; strategies to interrupt old patterns and develop new behaviors; as well as mindful movement to help relieve tension deposits in the body. I have experience working with individuals, couples and entire family units.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

One-hour coaching session: $85 Ten sessions: $800 ($50 savings) Each client is different - some clients meet with me twice per week, others once per week, others once per month. I work collaboratively with my clients on creating a coaching plan that is manageable, but still keeps you on track with your intentions and goals.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Because there is no one-size fits-all formula for wellness, the first step is identifying what needs attention in your life right now - back pain; recovering from an injury; chronic stress or anxiety; facing a big change like retirement, childbirth or divorce; or trying to get better sleep are just some examples. I call these the loudest noises. We want to launch our work together focusing on the big stuff first. As daunting as that might seem, it’s in the core stuff where we have the biggest potential for change. And usually, as we start to dismantle the louder noises, we start to see some organic movement in the lower-grade issues as well. Once we’re clear on our starting points, then we can start working on the most beneficial and potent therapeutic practices for you. Depending on your particular needs and circumstances, this might include a combination of physical practices, mindfulness exercises, guided meditation, breathing techniques, mantra training, partnered self-inquiry, daily tools to help create new brain pathways, and others.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am an E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance registered instructor.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I come to this work through my first-hand experience of body, brain and life healing. Thirty years ago, I was living with extreme scoliosis – two curvatures with the largest at almost 50 degrees, multiple herniated discs, pinched nerves and spinal arthritis. At that young age, faced with the possibility of surgery, I was fortunate to be introduced to alternative methods of healing. I began a movement and mindfulness practice that gradually freed me from severe pain and deformation of the body. Armed with these successes at the physical level, I started to focus on the mental traps that were causing their own seemingly inescapable cycles of suffering.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with clients from their teenage years into their 90s, from the very beginner to the most advanced, and with a variety of circumstances and conditions. These are just some examples: Back pain, disc disorders, scoliosis, sciatica Anxiety, panic attacks Work-life balance, high levels of stress Pre, post-natal Arthritis, fibromyalgia, auto-immune disorders Body dysmorphia, eating disorders Depression Headaches, migraines Injury rehabilitation, chronic physical pain Insomnia Obsessive-compulsive disorder Addiction Osteoporosis Trauma Life transitions
