Personal Attention
Grounded in Tradition
In my teaching, my healing and my mentoring, I ground myself in goals that shape my practice:
~To share the practices of all lineages I follow with integrity so that their spirit is passed on with clarity and fidelity.
~To balance that by sharing them in ways that make them useful in contemporary life, so they are alive and not just historical curiosities.
~And to offer both of these with a view toward growing self-sufficiency: in keeping good health; in cultivating balanced energy and connecting to spirit.
Below are very short descriptions of my main traditions and modalities, with links to much more information about each one. If you’d like to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out. I find it so helpful to set up a short phone call to talk about what you’re interested in doing and what I have to offer. It saves both of us time to just chat… (Don’t worry, I don’t do sales pitches of any kind.)
Energy Work : Medical Qigong & Usui Reiki
I am a “Medical Qigong Therapist” and hold a Masters of Medical Qigong degree. This is the energy work arm of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture and Herbology are two others). I am also a “Level 4 Reiki Master Teacher” trained by Alice Alicja Jones.
My energy work is responsive to each client. I love combining the intuitive flow of Reiki with the more structured protocols of Medical Qigong. Ultimately, I always tailor my approach to you.
EFT Tapping
EFT (Emotional Freedom Tapping) is a contemporary application of TCM Meridian Energy Work. Gently tapping specific meridian points while repeating words and phrases connected to trauma, triggers or pain can clear old patterns and blocks in the energy body. The shifts can come quickly. Tapping makes a powerful combination with Sacred Depths Coaching, Visioning, Shadow Work or even a Traditional Tao practice path.
Visioning & Shadow Work
These processes are quite different, but are often talked about together. One reason may be that Carl Jung is associated with both of them (though Shadow more than Vision). The other is that if you try to pursue Visioning to clarify your life path without working on the parts of yourself you’ve “put into Shadow” you won’t create a Vision that is authentic and powerful for you. Conversely, as you dig into Shadow Work, you may find the Vision you have will transform naturally to be more aligned with your heart purpose.
Sacred Depths Coaching
There are many approaches to coaching, but “Sacred Depths” is special. When used on its own, it shares a goal focused structure with general coaching, but SD allows me to keep your Heart and Spirit central. We start not with “what” or “how” but with “why” — to ensure that the Deep Why of your path remains our guide.
I use the tenants of Sacred Depths in most of my one-on-one work. It shapes my guidance in EFT and how I approach both Visioning and Shadow Work. It resonates throughout my work.
The focus and path of our work together is up to you…
I approach my practice in much the same way as Tao has been traditionally taught. For centuries you would learn from a member of your family or someone in your village. You would have a long relationship with them — maybe lifelong. The focus was on you as a whole person, not just on the subject or method taught.
My practice is based on series of one-on-one sessions that give you deep healing from the energy medicine branch of TCM; supported exploration of pursuing your heart path; and intensive teaching of the transformative practices from Taoist tradition… All tailored to your experience, interests and issues. …Both the Healing and the Practices are deeply rooted in centuries old methods that cultivate health, clarity and spirit and ground you on a path that supports your health, life and spirit.
My goal is for you to truly “own” your life and your practice… For your relationship to your body be transformed… For your inner landscape to feel clear, vibrant and spacious. Visit the pages connected to the links above for some of the Paths I’ve taken my clients down.
