Joy Within - Parent Coaching and Relationship Counselling

Joy Within - Parent Coaching and Relationship Counselling Empowering you to be a confident agent of change in your life, relationships, and family. At Joy Within, it is all about relationships.

We are always relating to ourselves and others - our children, partners, family etc. - so the way we feel, react, interact and invest ourselves provide endless opportunities to learn and grow. We can begin to find comfort with our feelings, choose our responses and show up differently with ourselves and our loved ones. We can confidently influence the outcomes, support our authentic expression and that of others and nurture fulfilling relationships. Into the present, we bring our past experiences, beliefs, expectations and patterns of relating that play a role in the dynamics that unfold. When we get stuck in conflict, unproductive behaviours and frustrating patterns it is a sign that it is time to let go of what no longer serves us or our relationships. Combining Spiritual (Holistic) Psychotherapy and the Nurtured Heart Appproach® understand how current stressors are being perpetuated and gain new skills to create the life you want. All services are available on-line or privately with Nurtured Heart Appproach® education and implementation support also offered in a group format. Online booking is available at www.joywithin.ca

Self betrayal is very common in relationships. It is also one of the most important things to shift. Sometimes it is hard to find the balance between losing ourselves and compromise, meeting anothers needs, acceptance, tolerate and patience. Often, self abandonment hides behind roles and beliefs that took root long ago.

A healthy relationship doesn't ask anyone to hide, it asks 2 people to be fully present with themselves and then each other. That is the work.

Healing is the process of acknowledging the patterns, behaviours and beliefs that keep us from feeling the way we want to and creating lives that are fulfilling, meaningful and nourishing. Acknowledgement is the beginning. It is the release of the feelings and emotions attached to those patterns, behaviours and beliefs that bring lasting change. It starts within, with you.

This book has been on my list for awhile and with upon us, it seemed like time. I would highly recommend this book to acknowledge what constitutes domestic violence, recognize the patterns of control and coercion, understand the underlying factors, leave abusive relationships, and support those who are in them.

Effective and complete communication is not as straightforward as we often think but a skill set well worth learning to build a healthy relationship. It requires presence, self reflection, emotional maturity and vulnerability to both give of oneself and receive what is being given. The things that are hardest to say and hardest to hear can be the keys to emotional intimacy if they are done with skill.

100% of past participants say they would recommend this workshop to others. See the link in the comments for more details and registration information. While you are there, check out the reviews from others! Here are just a few.

* "I am confident that the NHA will allow me to be the parent I want to be and become. It should be expanded into the public school curriculum. So thankful for this course."

* "The Nurtured Heart works because it goes above, beyond and below everything else that is out there."

* "Once you see this way of doing things, you just can't unsee it. The old way just feels so counterproductive. You helped me really change our trajectory, and I'm so grateful."

This feels like a great energy to begin the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend with. We often think of gratitude as being about what we have. JOMO helps us also find it in what we don't have. Saying 'no' can be liberating. Focusing on you/your needs can be critical. Letting go of what no longer aligns with your path forward can be freeing. Wishing you all little glimmers of joy this weekend in what is and what isn't.

Elevate How You Relate!

My passion is supporting adults and children, through the adults in their life, to create nourishing relationships and strong emotional foundations. My clients experience renewed freedom from detrimental cycles of bringing the past into today, deeper compassion in relating to self and others, greater clarity and calm around current challenges and personal strength to move forward with new skills, conscious choice and positive outcomes. They also learn effective techniques to help children do the same.

As an Advanced Certified Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) Trainer, I have 15 years experience using, teaching and coaching NHA. With that, I empower adults to intentionally create relationships that build strong children from the inside out. Simple and effective, NHA transforms challenging behaviours, deepens connection and minimizes conflict through the power of how, when and why we relate. Children build skills for lifelong success and adults gain confidence and tools to navigate the journey of raising children with greater trust, influence and joy.

As a Certified Spiritual Psychotherapist, my focus is on you and your relationships. Since we are always in relationships, with ourselves and others, both nurturing and challenging experiences provide a profound opportunity to learn, love and let go. Understanding how our personal beliefs, patterns and behaviours now affect our inner and outer success, can reveal our choices and opportunities to shift.

I have been guiding people through change since 2000 in both IBM and private practice. I am also a parent, relentless in reducing stress in my home, increasing joy within my family and supporting my children to build Inner Wealth™. An open, honest and safe forum free from judgement is a cornerstone of my work to help you and your children thrive.
