My Approach to Helping
In each one of us there are, both, wisdom and the instinct for growth. These two forces combined, inspire us to explore and take chances. I found that the more we question our old ways, the easier it is for our old views to let go of their hold on us. And the more we attend to the wisdom emerging from within, the more naturally we align with its flow.

Questioning our old ways and risking new ones, can feel scary and disorienting. We often need support and compassion to make inner changes. Our work together will cultivate your inner support. It will point you towards your courage, and invite your heart to make itself available to you.

You will be given space to meet yourself, study yourself, relate with yourself in new and healing ways. Our work will offer you a place to acknowledge yourself, recognize your great inner resources, and taste you true nature.

Seating together you will be given an opportunity to question that which confuses and stresses you; that which is repeatedly causing suffering and pain in your life. You are invited to truly let everything that hurts - be out in the open; all resentments or unfinished business are welcomed to be brought up for healing. Our work is here to guide you to your own answers, solutions, forgiveness and insights.

Through gently questioning your assumptions, you will be able to discover options from your inner wisdom. There isn't anything I know more powerful than tapping into your own revelations and applying them to your life.

One tool that I make available to you, (if you chose to draw upon it), is an inquiry process that elicits self discovery. This process is called The Work of Byron Katie.
It is made of 4 questions and a turn around. I facilitate you through the questions with deep care and support. The inquiry is a process of inner listening. As we listen we allow for fresh discoveries to surface. we find our inherent built-in medicine in our own insights.

The power of the work is in the answers that are unique to you. In tapping inside, you have access to that which is intelligent and flowing. Our work will support you to bring this intelligence into your life so it can live not-separate, trusting and open.

Once we listen and look with in, it is as if we were given new eyes from which to see ourselves and others through. We are offered a new way to relate to ourselves and life. A way that emerges from our newly discovered clarity, choices, kindness, and a deep engagement with ourselves, others and life at large.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

As a graduate of School for The Work of Byron Katie, I make The Work's inquiry tool available to you, if you wish to use it. Regardless if we use the tool of The Work or not, you will be invited to give voice and attention to a range of emotions and reactions that come up in your life and relationships. You will be offered a space to rest into yourself with out trying to change you or your experience. Some examples of what we can explore and learn from are: bringing awareness to how we live our life when we suffer verses when we are happy. Exploring our barriers to love and connection. Discovering what it feels like when we express and receive love freely. Together we gently explore what it is like to relate with yourself in a caring way. Our work will support you to deeply listen to your hearts wisdom. We will examine stressful beliefs and consider alternatives to a fear based life. Mostly you will be given a space for you to become clear and at peace and able to move in your life with ease and love.
