Without Our Stressful Thoughts the mind is pure magic.
The Work of Byron Katie
The Work is a waking meditation. It is a method of inquiry born out of Byron Katie’s experience. This practice allows you to access the wisdom that always exists within you. Every time you do The Work you are becoming enlightened to who you are; your true nature of your authentic and unique expression in this world. To question what you believe is a true gift to give yourself, and you can have it all the days of your life. Test it for yourself.

Modern Healing Based on Ancient Principles
Attunement Therapy
Attunement Therapy is a modern healing modality founded on some of the most ancient biological principals relevant to human physical and emotional health. Evolution has wired us to be physically connected with other people on a regular basis to maintain a healthy body, to de-stress and to heal. It not only provides the opportunity for safe, neutral, non-sexual touch; it is so effective that it can deeply re-organize the nervous system, so that clients walk away with a heightened sense of self and the stronger drive to seek more healthy physical connection with other people.

Healthy Mind Body Integration
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-centered healing approach that moves beyond traditional talk therapy by focusing on how trauma and emotional stress are physically "stored" in the body. The body carries emotional "holding patterns" and memories that the conscious mind may not recall. It addresses the body's physiological responses first (bottom-up) to help shift emotional and mental states, unlike traditional "top-down" cognitive approaches. A primary goal is to guide the body out of fight, flight, or freeze survival modes and into a balanced, calm state.
Clients build the ability to sense internal signals (heartbeat, tension) without judgment, which facilitates the safe release of trauma in very small, manageable pieces.
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others. – Brené Brown
Boundaries Coaching
Boundaries are guidelines of how we relate to the world. They protect your personal self by setting a clear line between what is me and what is not me. A lack of boundaries opens the door for others to determine your thoughts, feelings, and needs.If you go against your personal boundaries you violate yourself, you abandon yourself. By having clear boundaries we can re-create our lives in the vision of our own inner authority.
