About My Clients
There’s a story behind every person and I thrive on hearing those stories! The clients I serve are individuals and couples in transition. Transition can mean any type of change such as pregnancy to motherhood, relationship remodels, loss of a loved one, redefining your sense of self, or managing a health condition. Many clients are searching to change their perspective or reaction to past trauma or their family of origin.
My Background and Approach
I have been passionately serving in the healthcare field since 1988. My first steps on this path were as a provider of education, nurturing touch, and compassionate support for woman and families during childbirth. These experiences taught me much about navigating changes in relationship both with ourselves and others. My thirst for knowledge in the healing arts led to certifications as a birth educator, labor doula, massage therapist, Thai Yoga massage practitioner, and yoga instructor. With more time in the body-centered practices, the interconnectedness of our mind, body and heart became apparent to me. If a client is interested and ready, I incorporate strategies to integrate these vital aspects of self. Further studies took me to the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies while volunteering with Hospice and training in end-of-life support. This background gives me insight and understanding for the challenges my clients may experience across the life span.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Change is inevitable as we move through life. I believe it is possible to move through change with greater ease when there is support. That support may come in the form of compassion and gentle feedback or being deeply heard and seen. It has been my experience that mental, emotional and physical health all impact each other. Thus optimal health and well-being strives to integrate these vital parts self. Our sense of self is greatly influenced by the culture and environment in which we are raised. Thus I place a high priority on honoring diversity, cultural differences and each person's uniqueness. Inspired by my own journey through life transitions and healing, I believe that change and growth can happen at any stage and at any age.
