I get asked sometimes what exactly I mean when I say “holistic guidance”, so I’m going to try to explain it here.

I think I should actually start by talking about what I don’t mean by it. I say this a lot to clients and potential clients-I am no one’s therapist. In fact, I think most of us can benefit from seeing a therapist, especially now as the world goes through whatever this is that’s happening.

I am also not a doctor, not even honorarily. I don’t diagnose things or give out medicines. Modern medicine is important and I am not interested in circumnavigating that.

That said, what I mean by “holistic guidance” is that there are a lot of things involved in someone’s health. I believe that somewhere between the hard, cold science, and the absolute WOO of some corners of the metaphysical world are a lot of really good tools and useful practices that can really help elevate someone’s quality of life.

That is what I’m here for. I am pretty sure that I’m here in this life to help folks, and I believe the very best way to do that is to help them learn tools to make some good changes in their life through increased mindfulness and by maybe giving folks a small sense of control over their own reactions to life.

What I do varies from client to client-this is why I think a consultation is SO important. One size fits all sucks for clothing, and it sucks for this kind of work.

Sometimes folks just need to feel heard, to get some things out so they can examine it and move on, so I will hold space for them to do that. Sometimes folks need some energy work so I do that, too.

I know that there will always be some folks who wrinkle their nose at the idea of any kind of energy work, and I get it. But I have been in too many energy sessions where my client and I both felt some amazing things going on. I’ve learned not to question it. :p

I’m trained in Usui reiki, but over time, I realize that while I use my training definitely, I’ve also learned to incorporate my knowledge of crystals and other gentle modalities to work together for best results.

As time goes on and I expand the space here, I’ll be talking in depth about some of these things along with the cards and with more pagan oriented things.

I am proud of all that I do, and I want to share it with folks, so I am very thankful for you folks who’re along for the ride.
