A Little of My Story…

Many times in my life, I could feel that I was in a cycle of stress. There were low points during which I felt completely helpless and high points when I figured out how to resolve the issue I was facing. I didn’t like this cycle, but I wasn’t motivated enough to change anything because I always seemed to persevere in the moment. Then came the ultimate trial when I felt so much pressure and stress from life events that I felt lost and unable to move in any direction. I knew I had to make a change.

I started doing research and taking classes on stress and how to cope with it. I discovered that several modalities I trained in and practiced could support a stress coping program. I applied this knowledge to my own life immediately, incorporating journaling, meditation, and sound journeys into my routine with consistency. This consistent practice changed my perspective entirely. I regained confidence and began to believe that I could lower my stress without creating new problems. I got better at scheduling time for priorities and setting firm boundaries. I had successfully reduced my stress levels and developed long-term coping skills.

I shifted my focus to working with clients using the same strategies and techniques. I used what I learned as a Health & Wellness Coach about the process of making lifestyle changes and how to guide clients towards their wellness goals through a process of goal-setting, exploring motivations, and identifying ways to play to their strengths and core values.

I applied my meditation leader and sound journey conductor skills to augment my coaching to create spaces to release stress and tension. I also learned visualization and hypnosis techniques to help clients remap old thought patterns to create new and more positive thoughts and habits.

In this practice, I combine all of these skills to work with caregivers, non-profit professionals, and government contractors like you on mastering your stress and reclaiming your vitality.
