Life is a tapestry (mind, body, spirit, emotion) woven together by of our physical well-being, our relationships with others, our relationship with the world, and our spiritual connection so I use a combination of energy techniques throughout our sessions. I was initially trained in the Transformational Coaching Method (TCM) which focuses on beliefs and behaviors.  This training in conjunction with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Healing Touch offers powerful transformation.

By bridging the gap between mind and body, I help clients heal by elevating physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.  When emotions get “swept under the rug” by minimizing them or ignoring them – they get stuck. It doesn’t matter whether you consciously consider them big “T” Traumas or little “t” traumas, because (no matter which) when they are stuck, unwanted behavioral patterns and even physical symptoms can develop. Your biography truly can become your biology.  Symptoms can show up in many forms:  chronic pain, addictions, anxiety, phobias, weight gain/loss, unhealthy work ethic, a lack of energy, feeling overwhelmed, suffering relationships, and more. Any one of these symptoms are begging for your attention.  I help you uncover the missing puzzle pieces on your search for balance and ease in both health and life.

As Psychotherapist Mel Schwartz so wisely said, “The most important relationship you will ever have isn’t with your parents, isn’t with your children, isn’t with your spouse or closest friends. The relationship that will impact you far more than any other is with your thoughts. They are your constant companion.” 

Life Coaches are not therapists. Often times, a Life Coach works alongside a therapist. Life Coaches spend less time revisiting the past.  Instead of analyzing, a Life Coach helps you resolve and let go of what you are carrying from your past while turning your attention to the future and positive action. Life Coaches are “forward” focused, meaning, we help you identify what is not working in your life, discover strategies or steps to overcome those obstacles, and support your efforts through your journey. What makes working with me a unique experience? We will not only stay in the realm of conversation. The body has an intelligence that we must listen to from within or we end up repressing our aliveness and become machinelike. This is why I use Healing Touch and EFT in our sessions.

EFT is the acronym for Emotional Freedom Techniques (widely referred to as “tapping”) – basically an emotional version of acupuncture without the needles. It is based in the understanding that all imbalance or illness has an emotional component. Break down the word emotion and you have “energy in motion.” When the energy gets stuck in the body, symptoms appear.  Research has shown that tapping on specific acupuncture points helps to resolve emotional blockages faster than talk therapy alone.  So, during a session you might stimulate these acupuncture points by tapping on them with your fingertips.

Often in our world we want to sweep the root cause or problem under the rug and ignore it. The problem with that thinking is that the subconscious is still THINKING about these things. The issue does not go away by ignoring it.

Instead, the issue lies dormant in your energy system and takes up space…just as some programs on your computer, that have no value to you, take up room on its hard drive. Eventually you don’t have enough space left on your computer to run your basic day to day operations. The same happens with your body. Past traumas and harmful beliefs take up space in your energy system. Left unresolved you get tired and have cravings or addictions– or worse – get sick or have physical pain. To avoid our computers from crashing, we find the application and open it to see what is going on in there. We can then run a virus scan or just delete it.

With EFT, we’ll do the same with the body. As we tap, your “fight, flight, freeze” response calms and you feel safe to allow a traumatic memory or harmful belief to surface. When this happens its power often diminishes or altogether disappears. It’s like a bubble in a boiling pot – it comes to the surface and dissipates into the air.   The premise with energy healing is that happiness and good health are the “norm” – it’s how God created us. As we remove the traumas and blockages, the body heals and balance, peace and happiness are the natural consequence of that.

Healing Touch is a compassionate energy therapy that uses gentle, light or near-body touch to clear, balance, energize and support the human energy system thus creating an optimal environment for the body’s innate tendency to heal. It supports the whole person (mind, body, spirit).

As a complementary, integrative energy therapy, it can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies. A session can be in person or by long distance.

Research supports that Healing Touch:
• Reduces pain
• Reduces anxiety
• Reduces effects of trauma and chronic pain
• Relieves stress and depression
• Provides support during chemotherapy
• Strengthens the immune system
• Enhances recovery from surgery
• Creates a sense of well-being
• Deepens spiritual connection
• Supports the dying process

Healing Touch is one of the only energy modalities accredited and endorsed by the AHNA (American Holistic Nurses Association).

EFT is an example of a cognitive-somatic technique. We tap on meridian points as we talk, integrating the physical, emotional, and mental. The term “Cognitive-Somatic Energy Practices” comprise a family of methods designed to strategically and methodically intervene with human energy fields in elevating physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. These approaches are used by practitioners of coaching, counseling, energy healing, psychotherapy, and health optimization.

You can schedule a 75 minute Healing Touch session as stand alone option that creates DEEP relaxation for optimal health. If you work with me for 12 weeks in a Journey of Transformation, we will meet for 75-90 minutes because we’ll combine conversation and energy work.

Most of my Journey of Transformation clients enjoy having in person sessions.

However, as you can see from testimonials, I work with people all over the globe using video conferencing.  Even local people sometimes like to use video conferencing to eliminate the travel time and traffic hassles it takes to meet in person. It makes our weekly sessions easier to schedule even if it is during the work day.

The WILD thing about Healing Touch is that DISTANCE Healing Touch sessions are powerful. Even I was a skeptic at first, but energy has no bounds and I enjoy a distance Healing Touch session each month from a fellow practitioner. (Think of your image showing up on someone else’s screen 1000 miles away for a video chat. Where did it go in the air? It’s ALL energy. Einstein nailed it. E=mc²)

Please check with your own Insurance Plan, but sessions with Holistic healers are eligible for reimbursement with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA).

Holistic healers are practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) that falls outside of mainstream medicine, but increasing numbers of physicians have begun to embrace CAM treatments in tandem with traditional treatments in a practice called “integrative medicine.” Holistic healers utilize a variety of direct therapies to treat a wide range of health issues.

Some of the most popular holistic therapies include acupressure/acupuncture, Ayurveda medicine, bodywork, homeopathy, energy-based therapies (such as Healing Touch and EFT) and more. Holistic medicine encompasses a wide range of treatments and therapies, but its medical philosophy is rooted in the search for optimal health and wellness through the balance between the mind, body, spirit and emotions.” (Mayo Clinic)

Yes, I am a certified Health Coach. You can see from my personal story, that my own health crisis is what got me started. What took me deeper into energy work is witnessing that the lasting change happened in clients’ lives when we integrated mind, spirit and emotion. What I learned is that MATTER follows ENERGY.  In other words, what’s going on inside – shows outside.

Our beliefs determine our behavior and our behavior leads to habits that are unconscious and automatic. I help you get to the root of unhealthy habits so that you can choose to let go of them and replace them with healthy habits. When I work with people on issues of physical health, I most often work with clients for about 12 sessions or more, because it takes time to get to the root and change habits that have slowly crept into your life over a long period of time.  I do not simply give you advice and load you with a ton of information on healthy lifestyle choices. There’s TONS of books that you can read to learn that.  Our time together helps you feel safe to get to the root of “why” and helps you tune into your own inner wisdom so that you live the life you choose with more energy and vitality.

I offer a one-time introductory session so we can identify what you want to work on. There’s no fee to meet me!

Let’s discover what needs nourishing and how we could work together to get you where you want to be. Simply schedule an introductory Release-Renew Breakthrough session with me. Click here to schedule.

Growth leads to discovering other areas that want to flourish and I would certainly love to support and stretch you in those areas too. The beauty of Energy Work is that it allows for things to safely bubble up and out.  Wonderful self-discoveries are made. Let’s see where this leads you.

You are as unique as your thumbprint, so there is not one set program that can be used for everyone.  Most of my clients enjoy the Journey of Transformation which is 12 sessions (either meeting weekly for 3 months or every other week over 6 months). In my introductory Release-Renew Breakthrough session,  we uncover your current challenges, how they are impacting your life and relationships and how we can work toward freedom from those struggles. Let’s start with a Release-Renew Breakthrough discovery session.  Click HERE

If you need help with something out of my scope of work, I will be happy to refer you to someone I trust.

I offer a FREE Laughter Yoga session on Mondays at noon via Zoom. Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise routine which combines unconditional simulated laughter with deep breathing.

The reason I have brought this into my coaching practice is because it is not only good for us physically (10 minutes of hearty laughter is equal to 30 minutes on the rowing machine), but it is also healthy for the mind and spirit. Laughing activates all the feel-good hormones (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin) which releases endorphins.  It is a complete package for physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being.

What does a Laughter Yoga Session Look Like?

We’ll begin with a gentle warm-up which includes stretching, clapping and body movement. After the warm up, you’ll be guided through playful laughter exercises that are interspersed with breathing exercises. And we’ll end with a calming wind-down. This is good for all ability levels and ages.

You will need to have your video on for online classes, because it is important to make eye contact that’s the social aspect of this group session. I also offer corporate and group sessions for a fee.
