As a child, I yearned to learn to harness the power of the mind. I have also always appreciated the joy to be found in the connection to the body. I began dance lessons at age 4 as a response to traumatic accident that had included a broken leg. My parents taught me that the body heals when given the appropriate support: We also grew much of our own food. Organic Intelligence is a modality that is complex enough to be able to capture what I have always known is true - that our body/mind/spirit system is trying its best to give us the richest experience of life that can be possible. Working in this modality has given me a systematic way to support others in getting their systems back into their ideal rhythm to function with vitality.
As a counselor I offer poignant questions to support your exploration of meaning and understanding. My 13 years of experience as a meditator helps me keep a steady presence and a compassionate interest in helping you discover what makes you feel most alive. And while nutrition won't be the primary focus of our work together, I will assess whether dietary change or nutritional supplementation is appropriate for greater symptom relief and correction of imbalances that may be impeding progress.
