Gestalt Coaching

Simply put, this work helped deliver my true self. When I started, I didn’t even know what I was missing—I just knew SOMETHING wasn’t adding up in my life. I felt blocked and frustrated and ineffective—in my relationships, in my career, my friendships, you name it. I knew I had talent and heart and brilliant ideas but had no way to mobilize them, to get them out into the world. As I pried off the lid and started peering into my inner world - the patterns and mechanisms by which my life had unfolded all began to make sense. The deep insecurities and unmet needs of my childhood had created an adult self-orientation that was critical, untrusting and aloof. These energies ran my world. No matter how much “kindness ” I poured on or how hard I polished my outer facade, the core energies remained the same; critical, untrusting, aloof. These inadequate and ashamed parts of me were completely walled off to anyone, including myself. Only through patient, grounded unlayering with a dedicated therapist did these parts get discovered, accepted and loved on. And as they did, I began to feel whole. My energy patterns changed. As did the way I occurred in the world. Then began the process of rebuilding a healthy, unsuppressed inner relationship. This is where the idea for the "7-day Inner-Child Challenge was born.

Here’s the thing; I was so used to ignoring my inner child’s needs, cries and concerns - I had to LEARN how to listen. I had to PRACTICE daily—listening, checking-in, and most importantly FOLLOWING THROUGH. Since my track record was less-than-stellar, it took some time to re-establish trust. Like any new skill, it required dedication, missteps, and re-commitment, proving and creating new grooves in my system. After years of neglect, I stamped the message “YOU ARE MY PRIORITY” on my inner being and I meant it.

You want to stop co-dependent relationships and call in a deeply loving, nurturing partership?

You want to develop your intuition and tap into your innate gifts?

You want to be deeply okay with who you are, regardless of external conditions?

Getting in touch, and STAYING in touch with your inner child self is a pre-requisite to all these.

The tools came to me from a beautiful lineage of many Masters from various traditions; psychology, buddhism, qi gong, bio-energetics, meditation, light & sound, mindfulness - each different flavors but all pointing toward the same moon. Being-ness. Presence. Open-ness. These are the real treasures in each of us. Underneath the suppressed emotions and unloved fragments, there is a precious essence that yearns to be seen, heard and held. I teach these techniques through guided sessions to help unlayer and steer others toward their own door-opening.
