OI Trajectory Completed
iACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS:
In my work as a life coach, I help people who are wanting to connect with the joy of our spirit but are struggling with the heaviness of painful histories, past experiences, loss, debilitating feelings such as insecurity or who are living in challenging environments, and also are wanting to do good in the world. I support people in being receivers of the hidden gold so that they can shine brightly and bring more lightness to our world via the pillars of our Organic Intelligence.
Read more +Most of my past life I struggled with depression and, most of my life I’ve been a seeker for healing and finding an answer to happiness. I studied psychology and became a psychotherapist. I learned different modalities to heal trauma including somatic and EMDR. But there was still a missing link to joy. I was then embraced by Organic Intelligence. I also sought the wisdom of traditional medicine men and women from Latin America. Adding the wisdom of these two perspectives and cosmovision , I found a way to joy, to aliveness and to the deep meaningfulness of life and Nature as a whole.
I offer a free 10-20 minute introductory conversation to answer any questions about what I offer.
