The Road Less Traveled

Ever experienced a nagging feeling that there is something more out there calling to you? Or maybe you've felt a sudden impulse to take that fork in the road, pleading along the way for a sign from the heavens to help you make the right choice.

That's your soul talking! How do I know? Because I've been there. Which is how I also know this wonderful truth: Transformation IS possible!

It begins simply (though not necessarily easily) - with a choice to embrace your journey and a desire to change the story.

I guess you could say I'm a little unconventional. Coach, mentor, healer - I'll answer to any and all of those. But that's not where I started. My background is in psychology. As a counselor, I worked in a wide variety of settings, from in-home personal and family counseling to public schools. When I started out, I stuck to a pretty conventional script: You'd tell me what was bothering you, I'd help you open up the old wound, and we'd dig around together for awhile, concluding with a series of behavioral modification techniques. And my results were... well, conventional. I knew there had to be a better way...

Discouraged, I gave up my practice and, following an inner call to a seemingly random path, I took up a job as an office manager for an acupuncture clinic. And that's when things got interesting. What seemed like a step back launched me in a totally new direction.

I encountered a plethora of non-traditional healing and therapy methods, and it awoke a new desire within me. I wanted to try them all! I was suddenly awash in an ocean of possibilities. I experimented with hypnotism, Reiki, crystal healing, chanting, intuitives and psychics, dance movement, shamanic work and various types of energy healing. And I fell in love with something that they all seemed to have in common: a different approach toward dis-ease.

I learned that it is possible to truly release from your life that which is no longer serving you and, further, that doing so results in the healing of a wide range of maladies, both psychological and physical.

It was like a new world opened up to me - one in which my clients and I didn't need to go digging endlessly into old emotional hurts and tearing scabs off psychological wounds. Instead, we could take a very forward-looking approach, focusing on being present with what IS rather than what was, and choosing a positive way to shape the future.

This approach has completely revolutionized my own inner life and is what I now practice with my clients. I've learned to think of it as Transforming Your Conversation with Life, because it's all about learning to see yourself in a new way, letting go of conversations and "stories" you've carried around that no longer serve you in a positive way. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that pretty much anything is possible when we summon up the courage to simply re-write the script.
