I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me lately to clarify how I work with people. It’s been an on-going challenge for me to put into words how I work with people since each and every person is unique and I work with people exactly where they’re at.
Let me start this with who I am.
In Human Design I’m a Quad Right 4/1 Generator.
I have a lot of energy and I’ve learned to dream big, but I’m also here on this earth to receive information, all day long. When I work with people, they tap into that library of information I have stored within me.
I’m also an Aquarius with an Aries Moon and Cancer Rising.
This first half of my life has been about getting centered enough, safe enough and secure enough in who I am to be able to guide others to their clarity, creativity, curiosity and peace within their bodies. That process included moving through a lot of grief, re-invention, de-conditioning, learning the tools of manifestation and how the nervous system works.
I’ve spent decades learning, researching, practicing, offering, working with people from all walks of life in different ways. I’ve guided people as a therapist, a holistic health counselor, a yoga nidra guide, a teacher in the visual and performing arts, an EFT master practitioner, an akashic records guide, a soul art guide, a human design guide, a meditation guide. I’ve also developed programs for visual and performing arts centers and institutions. I’ve been a mama for the last 16 years to three kids and this has only enhanced my learning, research and practice.
In the last couple of years I stopped labeling what I do. I stopped putting it into boxes or singular offerings. I’ve realized that when someone finds me and feels called to work with me that we figure out what’s needed together. I still have all the same skills, trainings, abilities, knowledge and wisdom, but it shows up differently for each person.
In the last two years I began to work with the title, Cultivator of Curiosity and Creativity in the Human Experiment, that feels right to me.
Some people don’t understand it, yet. That’s because they haven’t claimed their creativity. Creativity is part of our essence as humans. A lot of people get lost in the conditioning around what creativity is and place it in the big bag of what the artist carries around. I’ve spent many hours online teaching people that creativity is so much more than that, opening up people’s perceptions of what Creativity is and how it works in their lives.
The more you reveal your creativity the more you connect to your body, the more interesting life becomes, the more your inner wisdom shows up, the more you connect to your heart, the more you remember who you really are and this is where the shifts you’re really looking for begin. It begins with Curiosity, Creativity and your Body. It’s all you need to start.
I left the field of therapy, not because I couldn’t see the value of it with the people I was working with, but because the field was reliant on people coming back over and over again, for years. I left the field because it was missing the connection to our nervous system. I left the field because I became afraid to speak honestly to people about what I was seeing. I left the field because everyone I saw was on some sort of SSRI or other medication that they had no plan to eventually get off of. I left the field because it didn’t take into account the Soul and our very own Inner Wisdom. I also didn’t agree with how most insurance companies required diagnosis to approve treatment.
With all that said, what I do now is still therapy in it’s own way, with a new language that expands to include the Soul, the Akashic Records, creativity & curiosity and balancing the nervous system. It’s well rounded and exciting, it reveals truths, opens the heart and heals trauma. It finds the transformation in grief and it teaches you how to use these processes over and over again in your own life, because once you open up to your creativity, curiosity and your own body’s language, anything is possible. I don’t want to work with someone for years and have them feel a dependency on me, I want to empower them to follow their inner knowing and trust who they are above all else.
So when people ask me how I work with people, can you see how it’s become a challenge? Words don’t quit hold it contained in something, rather the words expand it past the container.
I work with people looking to drench themselves in the creative process and I work with people who have drowned their own creativity in the mundane of their life.
I work with people who are in transition, whether those transitions be in grief, the feminine cycle or any number of situations in life when everything seems turned on its head.
I work with people who want to write their life story, give themselves the gift of Remembrance of Who They Are.
I work with people looking to hone their Clair-abliities, tap into their own Akashic Records or Human Design Charts.
I work with parents who want to give their children the gift of knowing who they are and trusting themselves.
I work with people who are filled to the brim with anxiety or worry who just want to feel like themselves again.
I work with people who feel their body has given up on them and are looking to supplement their journey back to health.
I work with people who want to manifest abundance or who are creating businesses that they want to be aligned with their Soul
People can work with me on whatever is going on in their life, because I help them to tap into their own guidance, to trust themselves again. And yes, I use Creativity, Curiosity and a Remembrance of the body’s language. I open them up to a new way of Exploring their Human Experiment.
