The goals of your holistic counseling program are to radically improve your life, resolve concerns specific to you and to provide you with tools for a lifetime of balance. We will work together on finding the balance of Primary Food (the areas of your life that feed you on the deepest levels). This unique approach provides meaningful, lasting results.
The ideas behind holistic counseling are not at all “new age”; they have been around for centuries. A holistic approach is built upon the concept that mind, body and spirit are not separate and distinct entities but that all three affect and interact with one another in ways which we might not always recognize.
Holistic health is not out to replace western medicine, or to label itself as the "good" while the others are “bad”. Instead, we believe that there is no one specific technique, which is universally appropriate. We believe that there are a wide variety of practices that help people heal themselves. Healing is our principal focus and we believe that most healing comes from within. Thereby we hope to promote self-healing whenever possible.
Standard counseling methods often leave you having to remember the concepts you were taught or trying to figure out. My method (Holistic Counseling) leaves you applying what you learned naturally through your own self discovery. When you learn by direct personal discovery you become confident in what you've learned and the ability is now yours forever. I believe you have all the answers you need within yourself. You have the ability to change for life for the better. I am here to help you discover that.
My method is more like coaching than instructing, more like conversation than lecturing. I become your advocate and confidant. You become empowered to realize and manifest your goals, desires and talents. You will move from problems to solutions, from insights to actions.
Traditional therapy focuses mainly on analyzing and interpreting your problems; in my program, the emphasis is on changing your behavior and the way you think. Rather than focusing mainly on the past, the emphasis is on the future and what is possible.
My program is action and solution based. The goal is to solve the problems of the present and enrich your future. Each week, you will move closer to what you really want in your life.
I will be non-judgmental, trusting, honest, and most of all objective. You will be responsible for your choices and the life you create.
Whenever we are limited in our life, there is something that we are holding on to or even blind to. My program allows you to uncover and re-examine the blind spots holding you back in life. In addition we will find out where your current context originated from and address it for what it really is. In doing this a new realm of possibility is available to you. The constraints from the past disappear. Your view of life, your thoughts, your feelings and thus your actions, change. For most the change is immediate, dramatic and without effort.
In our initial consultation we will discuss your unique situation and determine how I can help you reach your personal goals. We will be able to see if we are a good match and if this approach will work for you. Even this first session will demonstrate how a holistic, individualized approach can make a major difference in your life.
Relationship/Couples Coaching
We as a species have a powerful need and desire for coupling. Wanting to find our soulmate drives us into and out of relationships. When we are single, we want to be in a relationship. When we are unhappy in a relationship most of us want it to improve and if it doesn't we grow increasing unhappy and eventually leave.
Not too long ago, men and women seldom divorced. Being unhappy or unfulfilled was not a case for divorce. Then suddenly the rules changed and life and relationships became more complex. We all want to be happy, but we don't know how. Many times we don’t even know what is causing the unhappiness.
Considering how important having a fulfilling relationship is to us, you would think they would teach relationship building skills in school. But they don't. I will help you take responsibility for your relationship and be the partner you want to have.
If you are single, I will help you clarify what you really want in a relationship and how to become a "magnet" for that.
Youth/Teen Program
Program includes teaching responsibility, how to live by moral and ethical principles, self-esteem building, child-parent relationship building, mentoring and counseling, positive communication, life skills and decision making, teen pregnancy prevention (through abstinence-first education), safe sex education, reproductive health education, domestic violence intervention and conflict resolution. Being ambitious, setting and achieving goals, staying in school, being healthy, physically fit and drug/alcohol free.
Reiki Sessions
A treatment can usually last from thirty minutes up to an hour. This will depend on what treatments are being performed.
You will be asked questions regarding your health in general as well as your specific concerns, be as specific and open as you can as the more information I have, the better I can help to heal you.
You will then be asked to lie down on a massage table or or sit in a chair. I will make sure that you are comfortable and relaxed. You will always remain fully clothed during the session.
Reiki healing is very simply performed. I will place my hands on or slightly above you with the intent of healing. With this the energy begins to flow. The Reiki energy knows where to go and what to do. During the session my hands may be in one area for most of the session or in a variety of different places.
A treatment feels wonderful and has many benefits for both client and practitioner, including altered states of consciousness, spiritual experiences and total relaxation. You may experience many different emotions and sensations during a treatment, although most people simply feel very relaxed and some even fall asleep. Some go through an emotional or physical "detox" during or after the treatment. This is all normal and a process of healing.
I may at times use aromatherapy, gemstones or crystals depending on the treatment. I usually have candles and soft, melodic music playing in the background.
At the completion of your treatment you should feel relaxed and with a sense of your revived energy. Each visit, especially if it is ongoing, should open your chakras and relieve the energy blockages allowing for the healing process.
As with the beginning, I will also question you at the end of the session and you should openly talk with me about how you feel and what you experienced.
Reiki will improve the results of any medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress and help to create optimism.
