My ideal client is someone who is confused or conflicted in their life. They may or may not have a clear picture of their goals and what their life should look like. How do they get there? They need guidance, clarity, and support on their life's path. They need to connect with others, with nature, and with their true self. Perhaps they are not clear on how to get help or where they can start. In the case of feeling hopeless or helpless, they need to know they have the support of another human being and, perhaps if they are spiritual, the support of the Divine, however they see that. They are looking for wholeness.
I would like to talk to you, get to know you, explore your challenges and how we might work together. Then you can achieve a more happy, healthy and whole life.

My specialty is presence and positivity. Rather than coming quickly to remedies and solutions, I come from listening fully, without judgment. It is important that my clients realize the tools they already have and the strengths that they already own. Then they can engage solutions and release blockages, either through talk therapy or energy balancing.

I like to use talk therapy to know my client. Often, I reflect back to you because you are the expert on you. I might clarify or redirect when I think you could use more information. When symptoms get caught in your body, there is a healing touch I can use to release blockages and rebalance energies. Meditation and breathwork are possible. You can have a retreat in our cabin or guest room.
