My Eight Week Personalized Wellness Plan:

I am interested in working with people who are serious about their wellbeing and overcoming blocks that have stopped them from healthy change in the past. I want to work with those ready to come back to loving themselves, to their inherent wholeness and happiness~their True Nature. What is it that you are truly wanting, truly hungry for? What is it that you deeply crave? Who are you beyond your body?

In invite you to allow me to guide you to help yourself, and to see that what you want is what you already have.

Each session begins with a breathing meditation followed by a check-in on your progress, Q and A's, and a facilitation of The Work  of Byron Katie, relating to any stress you are experiencing in your life, about your body, your weight,  or your health, for example. Expect practical, hands-on information that has direct meaning and application in your life. Plan for two balanced and focused hours of internal (mind and spirit) and external (body) work geared exactly towards what you say that you want. Those open to this life-changing program will find new and sustained transformation previously  thought impossible... if you are open and ready to doing The Work necessary for you to find health and happiness in your daily life.
