What do we do when life’s mysterious unfolding takes us to the very places we fear the most?

 

There are moments in our lives where we realize that our old stories of who we are and where we belong in the world no longer fit what is beginning to emerge in us. Perhaps a major life event shakes things up, wrenching away the very ground beneath our feet. In other cases, it builds more slowly, as a soft but undeniable longing for things to be different. Sometimes it may be nothing more than a vague sense that something bigger, better and more aligned is out there waiting for us.

 

These threshold moments can be thrilling, filled with anticipation and excitement, but they can also be deeply painful. The process of outgrowing our old warm and familiar clothing, no matter how necessary, always involves some measure of loss. We attempt to hold tight to what has safely and reliably brought us to this point, only to find that these old patterns are what is keeping us stuck and unhappy.

 

When traveling into frightening and unknown territory, the support of an experienced guide can make all the difference in the world and I believe that the most effective guides are the ones who have been to the depths in their own transformative processes. In my work, I draw on wisdom and experience from my own healing journey, as well as training in a number of mainstream and alternative therapeutic approaches in order to alchemize crisis into the realization of each client’s unique potential. If you’re ready to find out what yours could look like and feel called to work with me, please reach out.
