“Is this really helping me?” As I continue to have conversations with students, clients, and readers of The Healing Journey the practice of asking this simple question seems to provide the most significant shift in one’s readiness to do the work. It was, in fact, the first question that I began to ask myself which … Continue reading Is This Really Helping Me?

Your Emotions Are Not The Enemy
We do our best as we go through life. We're taught along the way either directly or indirectly how to manage our daily stress, major life events, and various degrees of trauma. At some point we may come to realize that the habits we've developed over time are no longer as useful as they once … Continue reading Your Emotions Are Not The Enemy
The Healing Journey
There are many different ways to approach one's journey towards healing and yet not all methods are a great fit for everyone. Many students who begin working with me towards their own path originally come to my classes to learn something interesting, hopefully fun and physical with little interest--at least in the beginning--of going any … Continue reading The Healing Journey

I Am Light
When we learn to trust ourselves and our journey we are able to look beyond that which we are so quick to judge. We become brave enough—with practice—to stop falling victim to the shadows, the darkness, the doubt, the anger, the fear that lies within. With courage we use our breath to steady our heart … Continue reading I Am Light
