My ideal client may be any age between 16 and 99. Motivated and curious. Ready to try some different ways of thinking and interacting with their body, feelings, mind and spirit. Open to exploring, with me ... their world view, how it has shaped life currently and how they would like it to look. Their issues may include relationships (parents, children, partner, divorce, colleagues etc) review and reset, anxiety, depression, self esteem, loss of direction, stuckness, ageing, loneliness, stereotyping. Their needs are typically to belong, be loved and respected with the goal of finding a peaceful heart and meaningful connections.
Becoming unstuck will usually entail a review of life circumstances leading to the present, along with exposing limiting beliefs and behaviours. We’ll also look at where your anchors are that hold you steady as you identify what unstuck looks like and resources needed to get there. We’ll discuss courage and practical incremental steps as well as obstacles.
I honour your courage to face into what are sometimes hard issues. I see you. I hear you. I feel you. I work in a heart-ful, gentle and collaborative way, pacing and attuning with your needs. For example, if there is recent or historic trauma, I’m conservative in my approach until I know you have capacity to dive a little deeper.
