Frequently Asked Questions.

What Is MBSR?

As early as 1979, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was adapted from an ancient Zen tradition & studied by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn and his colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center’s Stress Reduction Clinic. Through regular training in mindfulness, people become familiar with their own behavior patterns, especially in relation to stressful situations. They also learn that though they cannot always change the circumstances in which they find themselves, they can choose how to respond to them. In MBSR this process is described as going from reacting to responding, with the latter involving a clearer perception of the circumstances through being in touch with the thoughts, sensations, and emotions that are present.

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing system developed by Japanese culture, predominantly Mikao Usui. It involves a specialist using gentle hand movements (techniques can be either hands-on or hands-off) to guide the flow of healthy energy or β€œlife force energy”, through the body as an alternative method to reduce stress and promote healing.

How Is Trauma-sensitive Yoga Different?

TSY uses the basic principles of yoga to bring power and access to all needs and mobility. Combining breath, mindful movement, focused awareness, and acceptance of present-moment experience form the foundations of healing.

Do My Religious Beliefs Conflict With Some Of Your Methodology?

The methodologies that I use, MBSR, TSY, Reiki, rituals, & divination are systems that have been designed to complement all belief systems. I encourage everyone to follow their own intuition; however, I do not coach from a specific religious perspective. I have had clients from all walks of belief; atheists, pagans, and all the major world religions. And I can adjust various methods/tools that you feel do not align with your belief systems.

How Do You Use Tarot/Runes/Oracle In Your Coaching?

I read tarot, oracle, & runes as a way of connecting to our own intuition, not fortune-telling. The cards provide tarot-py, they are designed on a story that connects us to the structure and journey of all human experiences. A reading holds a sacred space, providing an opening for internal dialogue. I am here to help guide you in the possibilities of the message(s). I believe that nothing in the future is set in stone. Rather, when we are equipped with the insight of cautionary and encouraging aspects of our options; we then have the freedom to choose which possible path we’d like to experience.

How Do You Use My Natal Chart Information In Your Coaching?

I use information from your natal chart similar to how I use tarot. By finding the things/relationships/events that encourage & empower you, or help you discover a need to use caution & commit to spending time healing.

How does interpreting dreams work/help?

Reviewing our dreams is the best way to grow and expand our wisdom and consciousness. When we explore these dark, hidden realms we discover more of who we are and where we need to go on our journey of healing. What is interesting about dreams is that they don't have fixed interpretations, making them unique to you. Some of your dreams are your subconscious’ way of helping you to work through issues that perhaps your conscious mind is having a hard time connecting & healing. These interpretations can provide us with a specific-to-you path of self-discovery questions to dive into. How can you work with me on your dreams? I have a few options for you! All of my Encounter’s Packages include dream interpretations. You can also choose between two monthly subscriptions, Coaching Calls, or Tarot-py Readings.

Why do you incorporate β€˜rituals’… & what does that mean exactly…am I even allowed to do that if I’m (insert religion)?

Rituals are a way of connecting yourself with intimacy. I often use rituals to help focus your presence on a set of intentions that you want to achieve in your life. They are also a method that I use to help you develop consistency, which can create a buffer of predictability for your brain against the anxieties of the day. The short answer is, yes. You are allowed to participate in what you deem empowering for yourself, or not. You can utilize rituals regardless of your faith walk. Rituals are not specific to any one religion or set of beliefs. There are numerous studies that have shown the benefits of rituals in reducing stress and anxiety. They are also incorporated into every religion from monotheistic to polytheistic.
