Life is wonderful but it can also be challenging.
Sound good?
If you're struggling to balance it all or maybe seeking to connect with peace of mind and purpose, Transcending Turbulence can help.
At times we find ourselves in the "uncomfortable comfortable." An unexpected turbulence that results when life unfolds in ways we never imagined. We do our best to "deal with it" or "power through" because that's what we've been taught, right?
The domino effect of unresolved "stuff" gets heavy. Over time showing up in our physical, emotional and mental bodies - leaving us feeling trapped in invisible shackles. , managing to get by yet not truly feeling equipped or plugged-in to life, family or even our self.
If transcendence beyond life's sometime paralyzing turbulance sounds refreshing, than together we'll find a special space where you can begin to feel safe inside yourself while cultivating clarity and balance.
Here's to a happier and healthier,
offers the gifts of reframing, balance & clarity
Your willingness to travel a path toward transcendence will be supported by five key pillars:
• Awareness
• Self-Kindness
• Effective Communication
• Releasing that which no longer resonates

Overthinking & Chronic Negativity
can leave us feeling defeated and ultimately sabotage our life. There’s more to resolution than simply changing your mind or willpower. It’s a combination of self-discovery,understanding commitment to shift.
Grief and Loss can show up when we least expect them. While not all grief and loss circumstances are the same, understanding the process can help you begin the process of healing and self-understanding and ultimately experience difficult situations on a deeper level.
Effective communication is the process of showing up for conversational exchange unarmed and equipped to hold healthy dialogue.
Are you listening to reply rather than really listening to what’s being shared?
Emotional Regulation is ability to maintain centeredness, clarity and temper when you find yourself triggered. Triggers (or activated as I say) can show up in a variety of ways, such as but not limited to: withdrawing, lashing out, numbing, arguing, over-talking, Screaming, yelling, crying, isolation,
The "Littles". Understanding how unaddressed and unchecked trauma, neglect and imprinting play a role in our lives and can leave us acting out, going inward or attracting unhealthy people.
An End of Life Doula. Honoring and holding space for those actively dying or as I call it, transitioning from this world to the next.
We are born into this world with celebration and joy, surrounded by those who will grow to love us. When we leave this world often those who love us are overcome with grief and pain, unable to hold proper space for their loved one.
WOMEN'S SUPPORT
Individual • Group
I work with women individually and also in enriching peer group settings.
As we to navigate our obligations and experiences we barter parts of ourselves away.
We as women may forget who we are - spending so much of our lives caring for others.
Claiming time to focus on you needs is not selfish.
