I work with people who recognize that habitual ways of behaving, thinking and believing no longer serve them or those they love. My orientation is to help you recognize, accept and work with deep unconscious patterns set into motion from past traumas and current life experiences which no longer serve you. This way of working together provides an opportunity to navigate the world differently and opens up new possibilities for health and healing. Patterns are universal in nature, they can be both healthy and unhealthy as well as provide the blueprint for how to live a life in harmony with oneself, others and one’s own destiny. They reveal how humanity has traversed the experience of being human from birth to death. The mandates of each stage of life are encoded in sacred stories, myths, fairy tales, dreams and images. Whether dealing with trauma experienced in the past or in the present, changes in life circumstances, or transitions from one stage or life to another, the possibility for moving through life with more grace, freedom and ease is available to each person. Change and choice can occur with awareness, insight, action and the perseverance to stay with the task at hand. My work is to help you discern the patterns which hold you back, find ways to interrupt their hold on your life and help you align to a more positive and life enhancing pattern. I do so by holding a judgement free environment, using a variety of approaches, and listening closely to what your stories, dreams and images reveal about where you are now and what your future might look like.

I'll be back at the Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Congregation this coming Sunday. I'm grateful for the opportunity to explore what is of supreme value to us.

These days we are learning more and more that we are not working in silos, but that the liberation of each of us is connected to all of us, and all of us are connected through our commitment to loving the world into wholeness.

Les vi las caras anoche
Una detrás de la otra
Caras ancianas, cansadas, ansiosas
Caras de amor, amistad, esperanza
Les vi las caras anoche
Me vinieron a visitar
Para darme coraje
Para recordarme
Que hemos luchado y vivido
Dando vida a la vida
Amparo y luz
Contra la obscuridad
Y diciéndome,
Sos una de nosotras, hija.
No te rindas,
Juntas, siempre juntas.

I saw your faces last night
One after the other
Ancient, tired anxious faces
Faces of love friendship and hope
You came to visit me
To give me courage
To remind me
That we have struggled and lived
Giving life to life
Protection and light
Against the darkness
Telling me,
You are one of us, daughter,
Don’t give up.
Together, always together.
