This is your Sunday reminder that self-improvement in life is a cycle of growth, healing, and rest. And its okay if you are resting now. Rest can be the most productive thing you can do at times. As they say, if you don’t make time for your wellness then you’ll have to make time for your illness.

Maybe things feel okay-enough right now. But then some days still come in and trounce your week. Maybe its a specific memory or a person, and suddenly you just can’t function at your best. Let’s not even talk about the cycles of shame and frustration that you get stuck in.

The struggle is real when it comes to being stuck in a version of fight or flight mode. Your nervous system has been on red-alert for too long, and makes getting back to baseline impossible on your own.

That’s where I come in.

With a Quick Change session we can ease that mental drama by removing the trigger from your memory/situation. In this way, you have more energy and space to live your life more fully. Think of it like closing out a tab or two; suddenly the whole system runs that much smoother and easier.

On your journey of life you deserve rest, and you also deserve to experience a therapy session where you get streamlined results immediately. You deserve a session where no re-living is necessary.

Look no further than a Quick Change session with me. Together we can accelerate your healing so you have more time and energy and mental space to do and be exactly what you want. Give me a call and I’d be happy to get you on the books!

Just dropped a few more hours into website updates. My online booking calendar was doing silly things with certain hours of availability. So I said goodbye to that convenience and frustration lol.

I’ve gone “old school” and will now only accept bookings via phone. I’m thinking it will be a vast improvement! 📞

Will I be hearing from you to schedule your session? 💁🏻‍♀️😊💜

Earlier this week, I was awake for no reason at 4am 😐🥱 (Seriously, baby didn’t want to nurse and the 2 year old wasn’t coming in our room.) And instead of falling back asleep I instead came to a realization about my sessions. 🤔 I sometimes have bragged to my clients how resolving their issue/stuckness/distress is a “one and done” kind of session. What I mean is that for that particular concern we only need one session to resolve it. But I think I made a mistake here. I may have made it sound like I didn’t want to see those lovely clients again. Which is simply not true! I would be honored to continue working with them, but ideally we would be working on another issue etc.

This led me to further realize that I want to offer shorter follow-up sessions for those who have already done the 2 hour Quick Change session. These sessions will be able to be more condensed as those clients are already familiar with how the process works. So- 🥁drumroll🥁- I will be offering 1 hour sessions at half the rate of the 2 hour Quick Change session, starting today. 🎉

If you are a past client for a Quick Change session, hi there! I’d love to see you again! I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey yet again. 😊🙌🏻

When I was pregnant with my oldest I decided that I wanted a doula at the birth, and I especially wanted 2-3 visits postpartum. As someone who’d heard and researched postpartum depression I knew that because I had a history of some depression and anxiety, that I was more prone to possibly experience it postpartum.

So that’s what I did. I had a doula. I took classes. I read books. I had apps. And I still had an unnecessary induction that took over 3 days, a provider who talked of killing me, second-degree tearing that was stitched without local anesthesia, some postpartum rage/depression/anxiety, and also some abandonment issues that needed worked through.

I had hoped for a beautiful birth. I had hoped for so many things. And frankly I didn’t get those. And got more of other things I didn’t want. Sure I got a healthy baby and I didn’t have to have an emergency C-section, but that shouldn’t invalidate how betrayed I felt about my experience.

This is yet another way that my Quick Change sessions can help. Instead of staying hung up on unmet expectations or finding yourself raging at the thought of how your birth did NOT go the way you hoped, consider booking a session. It will not invalidate your experience or any injustice that may have occurred, but clearing out that mental drama can really patch that energy leak.

I can honestly say that it is so refreshing and healing to be able to see the unmet expectations clearly and objectively after processing them with a Quick Change session. I have experienced this firsthand. And I want others to get to experience the freedom and peace of it too!

Did you have any unmet expectations around your pregnancy/birth experience? How do you feel about it now? Does it still consume you? Or have you been able to release it? Would you want to? You don’t have to answer here, but just something to think about. And if it does bother you frequently, how about meeting with me to clear it out? Just a thought 😉

During each of my pregnancies and even postpartum (for my two boys who had NICU stays) I worried about the possibility of losing one of my babies. It is such a common possibility, but so many suffer - in silence, alone, and for too long. That’s not to say missing your child will go away- it won’t, for the simple reason that you still love them. But it is saying that the torturous suffering that such a loss can bring can nearly destroy a mother. This intensity of suffering does not help that mother to continue to grow and thrive in life, in fact it may do the opposite if the intensity of the trauma of the loss is not resolved. In this way the brain/body can realize that it does not need to be constantly on edge by this event, to protect us. The trigger from the memory can be released, and the memory can go into storage instead of in the fight/flight/freeze/fawn limbo.

I have been on a journey to find freedom from trauma and anything that holds me back in this life from being my best self for my family, friends, and clients. And I hope to bring that freedom to all I meet! My Quick Change sessions are just that- Quick Change! Therapy does not need to be such hard work. Therapy doesn’t need to take months. Let’s bring you some change in one session and start a chain reaction that will speed your healing journey faster than a typical talk therapy session ever could. 🙌🏻🎶☀️

Well hi there! 😊

I haven’t reintroduced myself in awhile 👋🏻
I’m Georgia— mama of 4 sweet little ones, music therapist of nearly 8 years, and have been the owner of A Joyful Hope for almost 5 years! 🎉

I am passionate about helping free others from their traumas, especially mamas. The life transition of motherhood, unmet expectation, challenging births, and grief from loss, are all areas that I am capable of meeting moms at. Having experienced most of those things myself, as well as other life traumas, I have been on a mission to find freedom from the things that hold me back or suck my energy. And it has changed me as a person. And it has changed every single one of my clients. I have the utmost love, confidence, and respect for every one of my clients. Through learning about the subconscious mind and how music can help to accelerate the healing process, I have had only success with my Quick Change sessions! 🎶

It has floored me to see the changes and emotional space I have made in my own life from the freedom of using the method I use on my Quick Change sessions. I can only imagine the ripple effect it will have in the lives of my clients! 💧

Have questions or want to start the launch of change for yourself? Check out my website or feel free to message me. Let’s get you a taste of that freedom today! 🚀🙌🏻

Often in sessions I talk about our emotional cups — or another to think of it is the way our brain and body store memories from highly emotional experiences so we never forget them. In this way we can be alert to avoid emotional or physical harm in the future. Its a great safety mechanism. But sometimes we can only hold so much “important” memories/information in our cups. That’s when life starts coming apart at the seams. And every little thing pushes us beyond what we could normally handle.

Usually this hits in early adulthood - sometimes earlier, sometimes later. Often the person realizes they need some form of support or a different way of coping.

In a Quick Change session we can create that healing in just 1 (two hour long) session. By pour out some of the cup into your storage/less-triggering memory, we can propel you forward to living life more fully and easily.

Yes, it can be that easy! Book your session and find out for yourself! 😊

I created my Quick Change sessions from my own personal journey of dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I found talk therapy helpful with providing coping skills and space to be heard and for cathartic release. But it felt like it took too long and I didn’t always jive well with my therapist. I was looking for something that gave me true relief and would free up my time and energy so I could focus more on living than surviving and healing. Using my skills as a board-certified music therapist, and trainings I have done involving healing trauma and the subconscious mind, I created Quick Change sessions. And have had nothing but success with healing others of traumas, stuckness, or complicated emotions around grief or unmet expectations.
