Staying accountable – addictions and the ANS

In the past, I would write blog posts when I was really feeling good or when I had done a lot of practice. In other words, the “Facebook” effect was happening. That is when everyone only posts the best about themselves or about their travels, and the rest of us are left going, “Good lord!Continue reading “Staying accountable – addictions and the ANS”

Quasi-retreat continues, tiny blips wax and wane

Old habits die hard. Right? My “retreat” that I am attempting to conduct in the month of November is starting off pretty well. However, I should admit that this “retreat” is primarily a refraining from any activities which deplete me – namely computer games or binge watching shows (like Netflix type series). Can a timeContinue reading “Quasi-retreat continues, tiny blips wax and wane”

Chasing after happiness, falling flat on my face

October is / was an interesting and wild month for me. I got back from Canada, raring to work with babies..

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”

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”

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”
