DreamTending and Art Process
Drawing (optional) and looking at your dream images (the language of your subconscious) we will explore your soul’s guidance for you, as experienced in the sensations and intelligence of your body. Try on any part of the dream, enact it, and realize that this is your existence. Our dreams hold a mirror up for us of where we are at and teach us how to live from the heart and become more whole. The best part is that these messages come from your own deepest well of wisdom.

Gestalt Awareness Practice
In a Gestalt session we work with any life issues in the same way as we would work with a dream. Entering and enacting the different parts, bringing attention to the physical sensations and experience in the body as we do this, entering into a dialogue between conflicting voices and parts, will help you extract the wisdom that is hidden in the issue itself. As Taoism states: the solution is found within the problem. In Gestalt, you are encouraged to dive deeply into the difficulty you are experiencing, explore all of its aspects, until the answer emerges effortlessly as an "aha" or a surprise, a recognition of the truth.

Inner Bonding
Inner Bonding is a form of Gestalt work in which you focus on the energy of the inner child (the child you were in the past, which is often wounded), and you practice bringing a loving inner adult to the table who is willing to listen and respond to and act on behalf of the child unconditionally and with true love and wisdom. This loving inner adult doesn’t have to have all the answers. It can consult with the wise part in you, your Higher Self, Spirit Guide, or whatever form and name this voice has for you. Inner Bonding gives you a second chance to heal and let go of past hurts and move forward with more freedom and self-empowerment. It is a most powerful and elegant tool for growth and healing. Love heals!

Body Awareness and Trauma Healing
In my twenty-five years of experience in helping people heal and grow, I have learned to trust the power of simple awareness practice. Two beings paying attention to what is up right now -in the body, in moving, in breathing or in tending to the effects of trauma in the body - is all that is needed to bring forth the illuminated guidance of life’s intelligence. If we can step out of the way and acknowledge this simple unraveling of the truth of this moment, the miracle of this mystery of life becomes transparent, and a clarity of understanding emerges. The personality becomes lighter and freer and more aligned with the core of your being. This work is weaving through all my sessions as a core foundation of what I do, and it is fluidly adapted to meet whatever need you may have.

Meditation
My decades of meditation practice are the foundation of my understanding of healing and transformation, of creativity, authenticity, and of the mind. Meditation informs all my work, and showing up for your and my experience and being present is all I really do. This is also all I really can teach you, because there is nothing else to do. I will not fix you, promise you anything I cannot fulfill, or take responsibility for you. But I have a passion for showing you a path to self-discovery that is based on reality and truth and breaks down the illusions you and I have built up about how our life should be.

Art Process for Self Exploration
True to my own transformation from the healing arts to the arts, I will gladly support you in expressing yourself in images. For some of us, images are easier than words and can say a lot more a lot faster, in a holistic way. By making an image about an issue or topic or feeling state inside, or by simply letting your inner painter guide your hand and strokes and colors in the moment, you meet yourself in the mirror of the image. You see your inner experience from the outside, looking at you from the surface of the paper. This is a powerful and sometimes shockingly revealing tool for self-discovery and understanding. The realm of the image belongs to the soul or psyche and is more direct and honest and can take you deeper faster than your words and your mind can. Top of page
Painting From Presence
Inside of you is a creative source that knows exactly how to paint, what colors to choose, what shapes or objects to paint. As children we readily expressed ourselves in this way without censoring ourselves. I will help you tap into this freedom of self-expression through painting and develop a kind relationship with the hurdles that may come up along the way. You will find your code to turn off the “inner alarm” and feel the satisfaction of allowing your creativity to flow more freely whether you are painting for your own enjoyment or are a professional artist. Painting from presence is fun, fulfilling, freeing, transformative, and juicy.
