The ideal client is one who is ready for change and open to healing. I work with individuals with a variety of mental health issues, emergent spirituality concerns or finding oneself through life purpose utilizing Mindfulness-based practices, energy work among other techniques to help decrease stress and promote happiness.
My specialty is in Mindfulness Application Practices. I am UCLA-trained and certified mindfulness facilitator who incorporates techniques of breath work, energy work and present moment awareness to help promote peace and healing. With an open mind and non-judgment, I utilize meditation practices in promoting well being in a holistic approach.
If you are ready to open up to the possibility of happiness in your life and what might be the barriers or resistance that are keeping you from living the fullness of what you can access in this lifetime. I believe we are the creators of our own life and when you are ready, a full life of joy awaits you.
