This work is deep, initiatory and empowering
My spiritual counseling work focuses on supporting your evolutionary path through the methodologies of Shamanic Counseling and Hypnotherapy and Depth Hypnosis. These approaches dive deep to bring clarity to the issue and transform the energetics below the symptom.
I see women interested in transforming the areas of:
Shamanic Counseling and Depth Hypnosis are not psychotherapy and may be of interest if you're looking for an alternative or adjunct to psychotherapy. Additionally, I offer holistic psychotherapy services that draw upon these modalities when appropriate.
These approaches work beautifully if you're ready to step into compassionate self-responsibility for your healing and growth.

Shamanic Counseling
"Shamanism is one of the oldest systems in the world for acquiring knowledge and accessing healing. The term shaman is used to describe the healer, counselor, and spiritual adviser of a community. It is a Tungus word meaning “he who knows,” though it is commonly used to refer to healers in many indigenous cultures." – www.SacredStream.org
Shamanic counseling is a 6-session method where I teach you how to conduct a shamanic journey, meet your spirit guide(s) and craft insightful inquiry questions.
Shamanic journeying is a meditative, altered state typically reached through a steady, repetitive sound, often a drum or rattle. As the journeyer enters into light trance, she can connect to spirit guides, power animals and nature spirits existing in non-ordinary reality to explore and receive guidance about a particular issue.
Shamanic Journeying is an empowering way for you to directly access spiritual guidance, cultivate a healthful relationship with power (life force energy) and experience the interconnectedness of all beings (Oneness).

Hypnotherapy and Depth Hypnosis
"The use of meditation, dream work, the shamanic journey and trance work are key methods used in Depth Hypnosis, and are designed to bridge the gap between the conscious mind and the more unknown territory of the unconscious mind. Depth Hypnosis draws upon each of theses methods and applies them in response to where a person is on their path. This unique therapeutic model brings the ancient healing wisdom of many cultures to the unique imbalances of contemporary Western Society with stunning success.” ~ Isa Gucciardi, PhD, Founder and Director of the Foundation of the Sacred Stream (www.sacredstream.org)
Hypnotherapy addresses emotional, psychological or physical issues through a light trance state that allows a person to move past their conscious mind to arrive at the root cause of a presenting issue.
I'm trained in the model of Depth Hypnosis, developed by Isa Guiccardi, Ph.D, which is a therapeutic tool that weaves elements of Buddhism, hypnotherapy, shamanism and transpersonal psychology.
Sessions use hypnotherapeutic trance, regression, shamanic journeying, dreamwork and energy medicine to illuminate the wounding underlying a persistent issue (which may stem from earlier events in your current life, during birth, in the womb and even past incarnations) and shift your relationship to that wound.

What to expect
We start with an initial history of the issue at hand. I also orient you to Shamanic Counseling and Depth Hypnosis, and discuss where you would like to focus. This usually takes 1 session.
I then guide you through an initial journey to meet a power animal or other spirit guide who will be a resource to you around the issue.
If you wish to focus on Shamanic Counseling, our sessions will include a series of journeys and the crafting of journey questions to help clarify the issue and what is needed. I also hold space for you to process and integrate. If you choose to focus on Depth Hypnosis, our sessions will center on that process, which includes elements of shamanic practice.
Dreamwork is an important component of both modalities and is woven into sessions.
Both shamanic journeying and hypnosis use a light trance state to access subconscious knowing and intuitive resources. It's similar to a meditative state where you are deeply relaxed while simultaneously focused and aware.

How often and where do we meet?
I recommend initially committing to 6 sessions to allow yourself time to establish a relationship to your guide(s) and deepen into the work. This commitment also gives Shamanic Counseling clients time to learn the methodology so that you can continue using this valuable resource once sessions are complete.
Sessions are 75 minutes.
We can meet weekly or bi-monthly at my office in Marin County (San Francisco Bay Area) or by Skype.
