Fluent
I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.
~John O'Donohue

About My Practice

I integrate three decades of experience in human development, leadership, teaching, and coaching to support your journey of growth and healing. My approach draws from diverse wisdom traditions and evidence-based practices, including somatics, mindfulness, depth hypnosis, applied shamanism, energy medicine, the Enneagram, Tibetan Buddhism, soul-centric development, nature-based healing, and equine-assisted counseling.

Services Offered

Depth Hypnosis

Through guided meditation, insight inquiry, and regression work, depth hypnosis facilitates deep healing by connecting you with your inner wisdom guide. Unlike traditional talk therapy, this approach uses altered states to access your subconscious and uncover connections between past unresolved trauma and present challenges.

This work creates a safe space to explore the roots of current issues, often leading to unexpected healing and the reclaiming of personal power. Your inner guide provides compassionate support and promotes reconciliation within yourself.

Applied Shamanic Counseling

I bring traditional shamanic practices into a modern therapeutic context. Using the repetitive sound of drumming, we journey together into altered states where you can access your inherent wisdom and gain insights into life's questions and challenges. This process reveals what your psyche wants to share and the wisdom it holds.
