The Art of coming home
1:1 relational wellbeing mentorship
You did it.
You just took another step to a more harmonious, easeful, and loving relationship with yourself.
Whether you’re…
hollow from muting yourself in a career or relationship that's no longer fulfilling
in deep disharmony with your inner nature even though you’ve “done everything right”
tired of superficial relationships and want to craft meaningful connection
unsure how to escape the cycles of conflict with your partner or family members
stifling your creative voice with self-criticism
…we can explore that together.
Using insight-generating practices, we’ll discover what emerges from beneath the stories that keep us embattled with ourselves. Over time, we’ll embrace new foundations for ease, harmony, and spaciousness in your connection-to-self.
Welcome to The Art of Coming Home, a 1:1 relational wellbeing mentorship where we embrace non-judgmental curiosity to come home to yourself - without needing to fix or using force to create change.
In our sessions, we will…:
using core mindfulness principles to build capacity for embracing our experiences non-reactively (what “stories” are we telling ourselves and how do we welcome them with acceptance?)
re-sensitizing our bodies to be with our experience at the level of sensations and emotions (what creates these “stories”?)
playing with imaginal processing tools (e.g. visualization, Tarot) to explore different framings of ourselves, others, and the world at large (what are other “stories” we could live out?)
applying relational skills for dynamic participation across contexts (how do we align our actions with these new “stories”?)
In the Art of Coming Home, we’ll learn to look through the lens of the heart at what’s most tender and build a life you’ll want to keep coming home to.
What clients Are Saying
“It’s an opportunity to experience myself more fully. You don’t seem to want to fix me… You want to know me and help me know myself. It’s a gift to spend time with someone that really wants to know you.”
“What’s been most impactful for me is the the relationship that we developed… it is one of transparency and intimacy. You are…wholly present to everything about me. You notice my “small places”. Our sessions are something I look forward to, something that matters to me.”
“I just love your focus on process, recognizing individual strengths in those you interact with, finding the beauty and symbolism in elements of the poetry shared by myself... and seeming to have a real intuition to the intentions and meanings others are expressing. The connections you draw out and ability to create a safe environment where nothing feels “not good enough” or “off the table” is also special and appreciated in helping me come out my shell and find my poetic voice without much/any pressure.”
My story…
After pushing through my early 20s with a fiercely independent, detached, hyper-intellectual approach to life, I found myself alone, unfulfilled, and fiercely judgmental of myself. I didn't have the romantic relationships, the friendships, nor the family ties I wanted. I'd ignored my "inner guide" and done what was expected my whole life, and this made me retreat further into my shell as the "mask" grew stronger. By the time I entered the workforce in a role I didn't love, I had completely lost touch with who I was at my core. All I knew was that I was numb, disconnected, at war with myself - and destroying my family and friends in the process. It was time to drop the BS I'd been giving everyone about "having it all together", find out who was underneath the defenses, and love her.Dedicating the next few years to authentic, creatively-inspired connection - primarily to self, then others, and the world around me - wasn't easy. But committing to the truth of each moment, no matter how difficult to face, brought me a life of greater alignment, expansion, and connection. And I'm not done! As you start on your journey of compassionate, sincere exploration to embrace yourself as you are, I'll be continuing to explore and integrate the discoveries with you in every step of the way.

The practical SCOOP
If you’re drawn to this method of deep self-inquiry, let’s work with your current capacity and resources. My fees schedule is based on a “rate-geared-to-income” model with 9- and 15-session packages. Custom packages available upon request.
As is true of all good things, this shared work takes time to ripen, reveal the fiber of your being, and translate to a skillful means of applying awareness in your daily life. If you have the means, I’d recommend approaching this work with an openness to regular sessions and a long-term commitment.

WHAT IS AWARENESS THROUGH DIALOGUE?
Awareness Through Dialogue is a practice based on Focusing, where we bring deep mindfulness to conversation and increase our contact area with the intimate web of interconnection. As we tune into our direct sensory experiences, learn to observe the contents of mind, and feel the subtle shifts in the flow between interlocutors, we move closer to the heart of “the really real” in connection.
