I'm honored to facilitate people's self-acceptance, growth, and living in their truth, i.e. crystallizing their essence and authenticity to live a more spontaneous and joyous life. I support people in major life transitions and managing the stress of everyday life. While pain and all emotions are part of being human, su

ffering can be minimized by allowing all that is inside of us to emerge (to be expressed), to be curious about it (to explore it) and find meaning, wisdom and acceptance in our experiences which allows us to have more choices and a greater repertoire of responses (expansion). Specialties
Sexuality, Creativity, Spirituality, LGBTQ, Trauma, Addictions, Non-violence, Anxiety, Depression, Dreams, Attachment, Grief, Death and Rebirth, Parenting, Major life transitions, Divorce and Separation, Expressive Arts, Self-Empowerment

Divine Sparks of my enlightenment
Listening to the messages of the beyond
Centering me in the flame burning inside
Connecting to the burning desire
To transmute old stories and beliefs
Opening to the possibilities
I have not yet imagined
Forgetting or rather forgiving
The ways I have been burned and burned others
Bring forth the divine nature of my being
My essence
Knowing I’m not alone
Risking my significance and being a mirror
So together we remember
What needs, wants and will live and that which needs to be destroyed
To be the fertile ground
For new growth inside and out
We are here
To remember the flame that cannot be extinguished
That will continue in eternity
The song and dance of the soul
That is interconnected
And loves to be loved
And loves

Accessing our own creativity prepares us to encounter life in responsive rather than reactive ways. We are empowered and enabled to co-create with the moments and situations that come our way. When we are cut off from our creativity, we get rigid, want, and need to control and manage others and circumstances.
Being in the creative process we are confronted with our disappointments, frustrations and perhaps our grief and yet when we surrender we can work with and through these emotions and encounter the depth of our soul’s purpose.

Three Days of Being Held and Nurtured to Open to Peace, Calm, and Love

Love does not bind

Love does not bind.
Attachment does.
Love does not force or manipulate,
it flows, grows and is still.

Love is trust and security.
Attachment seeks trust and security.

Attachment has expectations.
Love doesn't.

A dynamic and dance of pull and push,
of rejection and acceptance,
likes and dislikes.

Shame and blame.
Fear and hurt,
creating judgements.

Attachment is seeking love
but missing its depth in the struggle of its preferences.

Love is open and free.
It doesnt need but generates spaces of belonging and interconnectedness.
It simply is without effort it exist. It is what is.

Attachment isn't. It struggles, cries, moans, is needy and becomes bitter and resentful.

Never ending cycles of karma enveloping in its prisons and limitations, entangling us in the wars of flight, fright and paralyzing numbness.

We dance on both planes until we no longer do.

Does it really end or is over ever? It is becoming softer and softer. that is what I can say right now.

Attachment melting into love. Freeing my expectations, preferences and need for control.

Mortified in the past and motivated in the present, I continue with this dance of unbinding the expectations of my attachments, falling deeper into my love.

Finding peace and solace in the explorations and what comes forth without being attached to the outcome. While, of course, I would like you to join me in the exploration of this dance. I rather not do it on my own.

I love the alchemy that comes through connection.

I can now say:
I love you and I love and live me.
I invite you to dance with me.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Resonance and Dissonance.
Let's see where it lands.

Clarity coming through the alchemy of the process and the unfoldment of the connection that brings forth love or diminishes it.

Let's be patient and kind with one another. Mutual curiosity, honesty and transparency my desire.

Dark nites of the soul have been part of the journey,
grief and losses, cleaning the house. Rght now, I'm asked to live in the joy of my aliveness.

Shedding the grief of my past, stepping into the everunfolding tineless now.

Letting go of expectations until the next wave hits and takes me on another wild ride of my passions.

Let me be the beauty and love I’m.
Let me remove all the barriers in my heart to feel and be the love I’m.
Let me be true to my soul and spirit so that the light of eternity shines through.
May the love of our connection be the doorway to our souls.
May we not betray the wisdom of our love.
May we deepen our understanding and support the growth of our love.
May we dance, sing and laugh to feel the joy of life.
May we feel the gratitude of living in eternity in this moment.
My well-being is your well-being.
