TYPES

• Yoga Nidra – A relaxation practice that guides you to a more expanded state of consciousness through the slowing of brain activity, deep relaxation of the physical body, letting go of the natural filters of mind that keep us focused on the personality and limited sense of self. Begin to shift your state to that of pure consciousness and connectedness. This is not a physical practice. You will remain still in a Shavasana pose for the length of class.

• Meditation - A practice of greater awareness and connectedness. The reported benefits of meditation include lowering of blood pressure, better sleep, and greater focus. There are a wide variety of techniques to incorporate with ease into your daily life. Release the mental blocks that meditation is not for you and is too difficult. Meditation and the benefits are available for all.

There are a wide variety of reasons clients seek energetic healings and may include the following feelings or experiences:

·        Heartbroken

·        Physical Ailments

·        Obsessive Thinking

·        Creativity Blocks

·        Trauma

While I am a Reiki Master, I have studied many subtle energy modalities with shamans and sages around the world. In the last three years, I have dedicated to understanding trauma, specifically PTSD and C-PSTD, and the impacts of trauma on the mind, body, emotions, and soul. I use a range of techniques that will assist you in gaining greater awareness, freeing up blocked pathways, and connect you to your higher self. Very often, parts of us are feeling unheard, unseen, silence, abused, or rejected. These isolated aspects of ourselves are screaming out for our attention and that can manifest in several limiting ways, like those referenced above, as well as many others. We will partner together through the healing process. You will feel more comfortable building trust with yourself, reintegrate aspects of yourself, and learn new ways to heal yourself.

A healing session will last from 60 Minutes. $165. 

4 Sessions and 8 Session packages available.

These sessions can be performed in person or remotely. Healings work just as well over a meeting app or in person. 

Healing truly is my passion, so I offer a sliding scale for those suffering financially. Please reach out to me directly and we can discuss arrangements.

Difficulty making decisions? Lost your voice? Not sure what you want?  Feeling lost or confused?

Life can feel overwhelming. It’s easy to take a step off your path, be on someone else’s path or simply lose sight of your own. Once confusion sets in, so does insecurity. Making a mistake can feel treacherous and many people don’t feel like they have a net available to catch them if they stumble or fall. Often, you may feel ashamed or guilty about needing or asking for help.  

I will help you regain your footing, clear off the path, and/or help you find the way back to yours. 

To be clear, I am not here to tell you what to do. You very likely have many voices in your life and mind telling you what is best for you. I will help you find your own voice and to encourage you to make your own decisions. My approach helps you build your own confidence, calmness, and curiosity to move forward. I will give you tangible tools you can use daily to lead your own joyful life. 

Spiritual Mentoring/$165 per hour

Packages available.

These practices and offerings should be used in addition with and not in place of regular treatments from your physician or therapist. 

Liability Waivers, Consent,  Late and Cancellation Policies

ENERGY HEALING/REIKI WAIVER

I understand that Reiki, Healing Touch and other energy modalities are gentle, complementary energy-based approach to health and healing that can potentially assist my body in its natural ability to heal. I fully acknowledge and understand that this is accomplished with my permission through the use of light contact and/or non-contact touch. I understand that clients remain fully clothed for this therapy and should wear clothes that are comfortable.

SPIRITUAL MENTORING/COACHING/ADVISING WAIVER

Spiritual Mentoring/Coaching/Advising (Will be most commonly reviewed to as mentoring) is designed to increasing self-awareness, reconnecting with yourself, addressing habitual limiting patterns of behavior, understanding the formation of your go-to strategies and evaluating their effectiveness in your life, uncovering deeper motives and fears related to your type, understanding your concept of your idealized self and your avoided self, and working with your defense mechanism to regain wholeness. Spiritual Mentoring is for people who are basically well-adjusted, emotionally healthy, functioning fairly effectively and want to utilize Happy Heart Yoga to make improvement in their lives. Mentoring/Coaching is most effective when mentor and client are honest in their communication.

I agree that:

·      Spiritual Mentoring is not therapy, counseling, advice giving, mental healthcare, or treatment for substance abuse or any addictive behavior. The coach does not function as a licensed mental health professional, therapist or counselor, and coaching is not intended as a replacement for counseling, psychiatric interventions, treatment for mental illness, recovery from past trauma, professional medical advice, financial assistance, legal counsel, or other professional services.

·      Either party can terminate the relationship at any time.

·      Spiritual Mentoring is a confidential relationship, and the mentor agrees to keep all information strictly confidential, except in those situations where such confidentiality would violate the law, or if given written permission from the client to release information to specific parties.

·      Spiritual Mentoring is a professional relationship. While it may feel at times like a close personal relationship, it is not one that can extend beyond professional boundaries, either during or after our work together. Considerable experience shows that when boundaries blur, the hard-won benefits gained from the mentoring relationship are endangered.

·      I, as the client, am the sole decision-maker in the mentoring process. Any and all actions or consequences resulting from coaching sessions are my responsibility. I release the mentor of all liability pertaining to services rendered in the mentor/mentee relationship.
