What is Holistic Counseling?

Holistic Counseling is form of counseling that draws on intuitive insight to create wellness. My practice is based on a Holistic approach - built upon the belief that our mind, body and spirit all interact to create our vitality, passion and purpose. To restore one part, we must acknowledge all three areas. The techniques I commonly use are:

In 1985, applying his understanding of Chinese energy meridians, Dr. Scott Walker invented and streamlined an amazing process he calls Neuro-Emotional Technique®, whereby the affected meridians in the body can release stored, stuck emotions in  a very short period of time, compared to traditional therapies. Emotions are normal.  Sometimes in life though, we repress the full expression of these emotions due to cultural, familial, or religious beliefs.  Many people believe that after they suppress an emotion that it goes away.  This is simply not true.  Although you may not be consciously aware of the emotions now, if your emotions were not fully felt and discharged at the time, they are still there.  Every time you have an emotion, your body translates it into a powerful chemical that goes coursing through your body.  It remains in the cells and tissues of your body until it is released.  In other words, emotions have a physical, chemical component to them.  N.E.T. can help you release these trapped emotions that no longer serve you and block you from being the best person you can be.

  A flower essence is made from the energetic quality of the plant that has been transferred and stabilized in water.  These essences are not to be confused with herbal tinctures (concentrated extracts that work mainly with the physical body), or essential oils (highly concentrated plant oils used in aromatherapy).  Flower and other vibrational essences work mainly with the emotional body.  These essences can help you recognize, resolve, or release different conditioned ways of perceiving the world and can help you experience greater well-being and harmony in your life.  By creating harmony within, you may often notice distinct changes in yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Flower essences are also very effective in helping you to recognize and rid yourself of limiting or destructive patterns of behavior.  The essences can support you in extending your consciousness beyond its present state.  Vibrational essences can be created from plants, animals, minerals, trees, and stars.

Innerspeak® is a protocol of 144 files with 36 pieces of information in each file developed by Jean Adrienne.  It uses kinesiology to your body to communicate at a non-verbal level, what is going on that is holding you back in any or all areas of your life.  These blocks are generally old, stored programs from the past--reactions to something that was stored away in the subconscious, but was either not appropriate to express or perhaps even not the truth. Many times (although not always) the source of the blockage is in another lifetime.  The protocol goes to the source and clears it at the source, then backwards and forward through time.

Innerspeak® can allow you to discover:

• The original source of an issue

• What were the traumas that caused an event to become and "issue" that affects you now

• How your soul reacted to that event and still reacts to the memory

• What specifically needs to be done to clear this out of your life

I believe in the power of a healing relationship between therapist and client, where we strive to be self-aware, honest and real. I work in a comfortable atmosphere and am non-judgmental in my approach. I adhere to a strict privacy policy, keeping any information given to me confidential.
