December Offering

Although my main work is in Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and SomatoEmotional Release (SER), there are other modalities of healing that I bring into my practice. For over 4 years I have been personally practicing Shamanic healing from the Peruvian Inca tradition. www.thefourwinds.com In addition to this, for the past 15 months, I have been training in Core Belief Restructuring. www.corebeliefrestructuring.com The tools I have accumulated in these programs have assisted my growth further in being able to manage my energy efficiently, coming from my Spirit versus my ego consistently and learning how to focus my intention with purpose and clarity. This combined with the regular practice of Gratitude are all part of the process of manifesting.

As I look back over the past year, or five years, I am seeing seeds which I planted coming to fruition. And I have focused clarity in the direction I see my life moving. We live in rapidly changing times and these tools have prepared me to move ahead with grace and ease and the ability to co-create a beautiful story for myself and the world.

My philosophy has been that one must do their own work in order to be available to others. The tools I have gathered, through my coaching, Shamanic and CBR practices have allowed me to navigate life with deep gratitude for the lessons and gifts that have aided in my personal evolution. CST and SER have allowed me to free my body-mind of tension and blocks built up over a lifetime. My self-trust and confidence has deepened, my ability to move through each moment with an open heart has amplified my life tremendously, and my relationships continue to become more creative and intimate. What I have learned in my personal journey, I teach and implement in my practice.

I use the body work I do for a few reasons. First, it is highly effective for releasing places that store stress and tension on a profoundly deep level, often permanently re-wiring the connection between body, mind and emotion. The nervous system is able to release and then hold a place of deep relaxation. It’s virtually a re-boot for the system and an oil lube for the body!

Secondly, by combining my Shamanic and CBR work and integrating it into the body work, my clients experience a deep holistic shift. I am able to be sensitive to the person I am working with and communicate with their inner physician (higher self) clearly and accurately, which makes for an overall powerful and lasting experience. It allows for the intention of the client to be manifest in a safe and soft manner.

For the month of December, I am offering 3 sessions for $130. A great gift for yourself and/or for someone you love! Wishing you a healthy, happy holiday and New Year!

I also do distance work if you live out of the area. Contact me via phone or email for more information.

Spiritual Parenting, Transcending the Old Models

Recently, I had an experience where my 11-year old son, Henry, lied to me about going to a violin practice in which he was not present. Minutes after the lie was told, I made a comment about calling his teacher. I'd been wanting to talk to her about Henry's waning interest in violin this year, the heavier homework load at school, and where we might be headed in regard to his lessons.

When we see children lie, we often react, we get angry, take it personally (I’m a bad parent, I have a child that lies, etc.) I chose to sit with it. The question I wanted to get to was: “What is going on in our relationship that he felt he couldn’t be honest with me?” I wanted to come to understanding rather than blame. So how do we get to what’s behind the lie?

The day after this event, Henry went off with his dad. This allowed me time to reflect. I had to own the part that was mine. He didn't want to disappoint me and he could feel I had an agenda around him keeping up with playing violin. It was my agenda for him playing the violin that created him not wanting to disappoint me. This was no longer his agenda.

I shared with him my insights a week later when we were back together again. I saw a light go off for him. He hadn't understood clearly why he lied, not to the point that he could own it. Now he could.

There are two of us in this relationship. If I am to teach him about honesty, then I have to be impeccable in how I live, have integrity in my words and actions. I have to be willing to see what's true in a situation and be willing to communicate that in a loving way. I have to trust that I am capable of taking care of myself and use the tools I have to navigate through life beautifully. That is the gift I share with him in my relationship to him as a parent, and through modeling how I live at my highest level each moment. A spirit having a human experience.

For those of you who are parents, I challenge you to ask some questions of yourself when you experience those "bumps" with your children. There is a relationship that involves two persons, like any relationship. We set our loved ones up to hold back truths about themselves by having expectations and agendas. We do this with ourselves as well. Can you be gentle with yourself, give yourself the space you need to allow the seeds of your becoming to grow and mature into the magnificent being that you truly are, expressing your divine self, your Light.

In talking to Henry about this, we were able to be in the Truth of what was going on and resolve it with love and respect for what we are co-creating. I feel so honored to be his parent and in this relationship. He felt grateful that I could step in and be willing to let go of my agenda for him so that he can truly be who he is. In this place, there is only love, and stress and disease melts away. We can be free and continue saying "Yes" to life!
