I believe that many of our problems arise from the depths of our unconscious that influence our lives and present themselves daily. It’s important to create a space to bring the unconscious to conscious awareness to heal with intention and wisdom. I believe that people heal through introspection resulting in insight and clarity. Once you become aware of those unconscious thoughts and behaviors, you can develop skills and techniques to implement in your life. Thus, you will feel empowered and in more control of your life.
