Work With Me
Trust, acceptance and love are within reach…
Self
Reach an Inner Alignment
In private one-on-one sessions, I act as your committed listener, your mirror, and your partner to determine when you “get hooked” by an emotion and how you feel this emotion in your body. By learning your body’s unique language and opening yourself to feeling physical sensations, you can cultivate a relationship of trust and acceptance with your Self. How frequently do you disregard your impulses or instincts only to later realize that your “gut feeling” was absolutely correct?
Together you and I will repair the breakdown of communication between your body, heart and mind. To trust, accept, and love your Self is indeed a magnificent way of walking through your days because to the degree you offer these gifts to yourself is in direct proportion to your ability to offer them to the people who mean the most to you.
Self with Others
Trust in your ability to stand for what is right
Connecting to yourself and maintaining that connection is first possible with yourself and with me. How then do you practice this new, more genuine way of being with Others in a healthy, functional way? By daring greatly and participating in the safe environment of group work designed specifically for the experience of being who you genuinely are with other people who are being genuinely who they are!
The world in which we live does not yet operate on a model that supports clear, clean and kind communication with one another. Therefore, coming together in a supportive group helps you build your ability to tolerate and move though the initial discomfort of being truly seen, heard and known by Others. It is by experimenting with other voluntary “lab partners” that you can deepen the physical sensations of what it feels like to be real and begin to find pleasure in this way of relating! Can you imagine?!
Practicing with peers lays the groundwork to have the courage and confidence to show up differently with the important people in your life to create deeper, more intimate relationships. With commitment and perseverance, you will reach an Inner Alignment that feels like an absolute trust in your ability to stand for what is right for you without discounting or negating those with whom you are communicating.
It is a beautiful place to be. Life flows without giving it a second thought. This is called Embodiment.
Creating Community
Be a healing presence in your world
As Daring Greatly author Brené Brown says…
“Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”
So deep a desire is belonging that many a radical action is taken to find one’s place in a group, culture, or society. Desperate people take desperate measures to feel they are accepted and belong. People who do not feel that they belong commit atrocious acts to express the pain of feeling left out.
Fitting in and belonging are not the same. Fitting in is walking into a group of people and assessing who you need to be and what you need to say to be liked by them. Belonging is walking in knowing who you are and what qualities you possess that make you acceptable.
Brené Brown also says…
“Belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are.”

There is a magic that happens when individuals come together in community or, what I like to call, common-unity. Participation with other imperfect, yet willing, individuals is a critical element of shifting from fitting in to belonging.
The online opportunities to be together as a common-unity that I offer include:
- Group meditation
- Special workshops
- The Monthly Co-Creators Club
- Book Clubs
Similar in nature to group classes, common-unity activities are offered as ways for anyone to tap into a topic with like-hearted individuals. Pop into one of these offerings to see if this online format is an environment where you could feel comfortable enough to truly let yourself be known and belong.
Having access to such a common-unity is a rare and magnificent gift. You come together with Others to create opportunities to see and be seen, hear and be heard, know and be known. In so doing, you master the skills needed to be a healing presence in your marriage, your family, your work environment, and your world.
Trusting, accepting, and loving yourself roots you deeply into the certainty of what is true for you, allowing you to then support the people in your life that are most important to you. The ability to do this with your loved ones without sacrificing your health, sanity or worthiness makes every minute and every penny invested worthwhile.
