How I do what I do with my clients
Life is about energy. No energy... no passion. No passion...what's the point?
We are raised in a world that sometimes seems hellbent on dumbing and dulling us down. We often carry our own traumas and sometimes undigested traumas from our parents and sometimes a whole family line. Add to that work/school pressures, the economy, isolation, politics, and doom scrolling, and it is no wonder we are collectively struggling. But there is a way through it to a much juicier connected, creative, and energized place.
Over the past 25 years, I have developed a diagnostic tool that helps you very quickly identify where your creative energy flow is out of balance—where it is either freezing up or getting scattered. Then, I teach you tools to either thaw it out or draw it back into you and your creative dreams.
Skill Basket
I’m a somatic trauma therapist, holistic women’s health nurse, youth worker, transformational coach, multi-award-winning community arts creative, master photographer and documentary filmmaker.
I use relaxed questioning, creative play, and gentle movement as tools to help you find the most efficient way to get your energy back.
My methods have a lineage that draws from Parts Therapy (Internal Family Systems), Holistic Nursing, Positive Psychology, Poly vagal theory, Rongoā Maori, Aruvedic principles, Transformational Coaching, Ecotherapy, Stoic and Taoist philosophical concepts, and Creative Meditative Practices.
As a neurodiverse person myself, I work particularly well with those who are on the spectrum or suspect they may have ADHD.
Ways to Work with Me
Good news. It's fixable.
By doing the work to work through our stuff two things happen.
#1 The next generation doesn't become responsible for digesting our undigested trauma.
#2 Our creativity starts to flow and we are able to bring our gifts fully to the world. This means that we become more relevant in the rapidly changing future. Undigested trauma is costly on so many levels.
