Philosophy on Healing
Curiosity. Humility. Client Centered. Exceptional Results.
​
In my role as a facilitator I focus on providing a safe and nurturing space, approaching each session with humility & curiosity, understanding that every person's journey is different and deserving of respect. Through this client-centered approach, healing can truly flourish, leading to a profound sense of growth, empowerment, and self-discovery.

Exceptional Results
A client suffered multiple strokes & had their entire left side affected; the arm was constantly contracted against the torso, and walking was only possible by swinging the affected leg out to the side and around to the front with each forward step. Together we partnered for 6 months, at which time the client was able to hang their arm at their side, and while they still needed to lift their knee up first and step down in order to move forward, they no longer had to swing their leg out in order to walk.
