As your therapist, my role is to notice patterns as you’re sharing what’s happening in your life and draw a connection between the thing keeping you stuck, as well as our journey to amassing change. In identifying this, we are able to hold the vision forward in conjunction with the current path ahead, identifying and processing any barriers. Emotional processing is held in a tender, nonjudgmental manner and in doing so clients may find themselves experiencing emotional shifts that lead them towards feeling a renewed sense of empowerment to trust themselves, an increased openness and willingness to feel, increased self-compassion, and access to their innate courage.
As your reiki healer, my role is to channel nervous system regulation and intuitive readings, channeling reiki for somatic healing and intuitive guidance.
Our relationship softens and slows down the usual stressors of the fast-paced external world, and creates an opening to feeling safely held in a renewed sense of peaceful grounding with the present. My presence provides calm grounding, heartfelt compassion and trust in vulnerability. Alongside, client’s mental and emotional shifts carry a meaningful heartfelt impact, naturally transcending out into their lives from within.
