About Space for Conscious Living
Thanks for visiting my website. Please take a look around. I hope you’ll find something here that you’d like to explore with me. But before we get into that, I’d like to tell you how Space for Conscious Living came about.
After nearly 30 years in the mental health profession, I began to hear a call to work with people in a different way. Was I being asked to give up work I loved, my identity, my income? I felt the rug slipping out from under me. The call was unmistakable though and it persisted. I knew deep in my heart that I needed to pay attention.
Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am.
—Parker Palmer, Let Your Life Speak
He’s right! Through a period of discernment, I consulted with trusted friends as well as my own coach and spiritual teacher. I came to realize that my life was telling me that I was to serve as a teacher for individuals seeking their own personal and spiritual transformation – that this is who I am. On December 30, 2014, I retired from what had been a wonderful and fruitful career and stepped with faith (and not just a little trepidation) onto my new path.
For almost nine years, I used the knowledge and skills I had accumulated over the years to serve as a guide for my work with clients seeking personal and spiritual transformation.
In 2016-2018, I studied Healing Touch, Somatic Experiencing and Energy Work, gaining certification from the Energy Healing Institute in Portland, Oregon. I integrated these modalities into my guidance practice with great success.
In 2023, I realized that somatic and energy work is where I want to focus my attention and use my gifts. I made the decision to limit my practice to this, helping clients experience healing and integration through these powerful, mostly non-verbal modalities.
I call my practice, Space for Conscious Living, because it perfectly describes what I offer to others: A collaborative process guiding people to expand their internal and external Space in which they will become more Conscious of what is happening around and within them so they can intentionally integrate this awareness into their way of Living.
When we live from this foundation, we experience authentic congruence between who we are and how we engage our lives. As I continue to see in my own journey, this process leads to a life infused with meaning, wisdom, compassion and joy.
The questions which kept occurring to me during my discernment period are the same ones I now ask others to consider:
- Are you being called to awaken to a more conscious and intentional way of living?
- Does your heart long to connect more deeply with your Essential Self, others, and the greater Source of life?
- Do you wish to explore and heal ongoing patterns in your life through paths other than talk therapy or coaching?
To guide others to a life of more conscious living, I offer:
- Integrative Energy Work and Exploration of your body’s Somatic Wisdom
- Classes, Book Studies & Retreats through THE SCHOOL
- Education and Guidance with the ENNEAGRAM in the form of workshops and small group experiences
- Mentoring for Helping Professionals seeking to Integrate Energy Work and Somatic Wisdom into their Practices
