Drowning in spaciousness

In the past year, I have made several massive changes. I transitioned out of a serious relationship. I transitioned out of nursing school (long story for another day). I even left my full time, well-paying job which felt was suffocating me (not to mention extreme mismanagement and poverty-level wages to a third of the employees).Continue reading “Drowning in spaciousness”

Creating space, ease follows

It is quite amazing how little adjustments can make a huge difference. Since I returned from Canada, I have gone through my nursing school books and notes and I recycled hundreds of pages which were just sitting on my shelf gathering dust. By moving all of those nursing books further away (because I am heavilyContinue reading “Creating space, ease follows”

October update, thoughts after a rich Canadian journey

This is some of the wisdom I gleaned from my time in Canada, where I spent 2-weeks at a birth process work intensive workshop. Then I taught a 3-day workshop on Salt Spring Island on working with babies (primarily from a Craniosacral perspective, but we definitely included a lot of Polyvagal tracking of the autonomicContinue reading “October update, thoughts after a rich Canadian journey”

A wild story about birth continued

This is a continuation from a previous post, I would highly recommend going back and reading the beginning of the story which is one post back. And like I mentioned in that post I have the mothers explicit permission to share the story. I should also mention that when I work with babies it isContinue reading “A wild story about birth continued”

A wild esoteric journey through working with babies

I have permission to share the story, which is important. I want to start out by mentioning that nearly every baby session I do with mother and babies is based on science and evidence-based research. I enjoy working with babies and mothers and hope to continue to do so for a long time to come.Continue reading “A wild esoteric journey through working with babies”

A classic double bind

OK this material is pretty deep. I might recommend having good support around you or having a friend you can call if reading this brings anything up for you; of course you could always call and schedule a session with me if you would like. Area code +1 434, 465-0603 USA. One neumonic for counteringContinue reading “A classic double bind”

PPN intensive workshop in Nelson BC

I just attended an incredible workshop in the Kootenays. This intensive was led by Myrna Martin and it focused on double binds, chemical and surgical birth imprints. It was a small group so we really got to know each other well and I believe the intimacy assisted us to go deeper into the material. TheContinue reading “PPN intensive workshop in Nelson BC”

In Vancouver, prepping

I am presently in Vancouver. Getting ready for a birth process work intensive, also known as pre- and perinatal therapy. It is a two week intensive. This is level 2, which focuses on chemical and mechanical birth imprints (what interventions were used) as well as looking at ancestral double binds. As a result, this isContinue reading “In Vancouver, prepping”

a meditation group has begun

I recently started a meditation group in Charlottesville. So far, we have done Khenchen Rinpoche, Konchog Gyaltsen’s practice of Om Ah Hung. There is a nice melody I attempt to follow as we do the practice. I also give a brief Dharma talk about setting proper motivation (Bodhicitta, altruistic mind) etc. In explaining the practice,Continue reading “a meditation group has begun”
