Sessions

Every avenue closes. Nothing moves. You’ve tried the obvious things and several of the unobvious ones.

Stuck is usually not a decision problem. Something is holding the ground still, often called an energetic blockage or stuck energy, and it won’t move by being reasoned with while you exhaust yourself pushing.

Start with Finding Your Medicine, or the Terrain Session.

You can explain the pattern precisely. You know where it came from. You do it anyway.

That gap is the most common reason people come, and it isn’t a thinking problem, which is why more understanding hasn’t closed it. The pattern lives in the body and it runs faster than you can reason. This is what somatic work is for.

Start with Finding Your Medicine, or the Terrain Session if you’ve been circling this one for years.

You’ve had the insight. You’ve been told, or shown, or you worked it out yourself. And there’s no bridge between knowing it and living it on a Tuesday.

What’s missing is a route, and routes are specific. They depend on your nervous system, your history, and what your week actually looks like.

Start with the Terrain Session, or the Joy of Becoming.

Therapy, ceremony, reading, retreats. Real change at first, and then a floor you can’t get under.

Usually something was released and then called back, or the insight never made it from your head into your body. Both are workable, and neither means the earlier work was wasted.

Start with the Terrain Session, or the Joy of Becoming.

Numb, disengaged, stuck in every direction at once, and sad about how little you seem to be doing.

Ask yourself what you’ve actually done in the last year. Most people who say this to me have a real list and have never once counted it. A training finished, a session sat through, a thing finally said out loud. Those get filed as steps toward something rather than as the something.

There’s also a lag built into this work. You take something in, your system digests it, and only after that does it show up as anything you can point to. The digesting takes the longest and none of it is visible from outside, which is exactly why it feels like nothing is happening.

That long middle is what I help people move through. Taking what you’ve received and putting it into action, so it stops being something you understand and becomes something you’re doing, and so you can finally see the progress you’ve been making the whole time.

Start with Finding Your Medicine, or the Terrain Session.

The same argument, the same ending, the same kind of person. Or the same distance, in every direction.

These patterns are usually older than any of the relationships in them.

Start with the Terrain Session.

The words come out and you hear whose they are.

This is generational or ancestral patterning, sometimes called inherited trauma or family line work. These are the ones people fight longest without knowing why, because the pattern didn’t start with you. Ancestral healing works at the point it entered your line rather than only where you’re standing.

Start with the Terrain Session.

Compulsive behavior, or something you use that you’ve stopped defending. The reaching has a reason, and the reason is almost never the substance or the behavior itself.

This is work alongside recovery and clinical care rather than instead of it. If you’re in a program or with a counselor, stay there, and we’ll work a different layer.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

Listen to the shape of your own questions. What am I not doing that I should. Am I supposed to do more. You’re asking what you’re failing at while already carrying more than most people would.

That’s not a scheduling problem. It’s a pattern, and it has a source.

Start with the Terrain Session.

Chronic pain, chronic low mood, exhaustion that predates anything you can point to.

This isn’t medical or mental health care and it doesn’t replace either. It’s a different question, which is what’s being carried and where it entered. If you’re being treated for something, keep your provider and bring this alongside.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

Tension that doesn’t release. Something that flares when your life does. Tests that come back clean.

Emotional memory is stored in the body, which is the premise underneath all somatic work. Same caution as above. Keep your doctor.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

Your body freezes at touch. Desire went and you couldn’t say when. Certain textures or temperatures are unbearable and you’ve stopped mentioning it.

This is freeze response, and it’s one of the most common things people bring and one of the last things they say out loud. It’s workable, and it usually involves ancestral material as well, since bodies inherit their instructions.

Start with Finding Your Medicine, or the Terrain Session.

Something happened. You can name the year, and possibly the day. Everything after it has been a version of you rather than you.

Part of the work here is inner child healing, which is a plain description of a real thing: a version of you that stopped at that moment and is still standing there.

You don’t need a memory of it, and you don’t have to tell me what it was before we start.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

A parent, a partner, a child, an animal, or a version of your life that ended.

Grief that stays this long usually has something else tangled in it. Things that were never said, a relationship that was complicated before the loss, or a body that shut down to get through it and never came back up.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

Whether she made it. Whether he knows. Whether the things you say out loud in the car reach anyone.

This is a different question from grief and it gets a different kind of answer. You can ask directly.

Start with the Higher Self Journey, or QHHT.

They’re in your house, or two states away, and either way you’re carrying it.

The guilt is nearly universal and it almost never reflects what you’re actually doing.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

The distance, the anger, or the thing they’re going through that you can’t fix. You’ve tried every version of talking to them.

Some of what’s between you belongs to you, some belongs to them, and some belongs to neither of you and arrived down the line. Sorting which is which is most of the work.

Start with the Terrain Session.

Whether it gets better. Whether you’ll be able to love him again. Whether this is the shape of the rest of it.

I won’t answer that for you. There’s a way to go and ask, and what comes back is usually about something older than the marriage.

Start with the Higher Self Journey, or Finding Your Medicine.

You’re the one people come to. A therapist, a healer, a nurse, a teacher, a parent, or just the person everyone calls. You’re good at it. And you have nowhere to put your own.

Or you’ve gone further than most of the people you could go to, and finding someone who can follow you has become its own problem.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

Purpose, direction, calling. Sometimes the job and the role and the marriage are all working and none of it means anything.

Start with the Higher Self Journey if you have specific questions, or Finding Your Medicine if you don’t.

Why this keeps happening. What you’re here for. What’s going on with your body. Why the job hunt won’t break. What your child needs that you’re not seeing. What a dream meant.

Large questions and small ones. People bring both, and the small ones are often where the answer lands hardest.

You’ve read, you’ve asked, and you’ve been given other people’s answers, which were never going to fit. Yours are already in you. What’s usually missing is a way in and someone to hold the door while you go looking.

I don’t answer these. I take you where the answers are and make sure you get clear ones while you’re there.

Start with the Higher Self Journey.

You’ve been circling it for a while. Maybe you’ve started the trainings. And you have a mortgage and children and a corporate job that pays for both.

This is a common question in my room and it isn’t only a career question.

Start with the Higher Self Journey, or Finding Your Medicine.

A marriage, a career, a role you’ve held for twenty years, or a version of yourself that’s finished. The ending is clear. Nothing has arrived to replace it, and waiting turns out to be its own kind of work.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

The color went out of things. You can still function, still show up, still do what’s needed. What’s gone is the wanting. Nothing pulls at you, and the things that used to have stopped meaning much.

Sometimes that’s a pattern, built over years of a system that had no room for anything good and quietly stopped making room. Capacity for joy is built the same way capacity for anything is built, and it can be built back.

This work can support you, but it is not a substitute for appropriate professional care in situations where that is warranted.

Start with the Terrain Session, or Finding Your Medicine.

Something happened once. A moment, a vision, a connection, a sense of something far larger that you couldn’t explain and didn’t need to. Maybe a whole string of them. You reorganized your life around it.

Then life got hard anyway. The path didn’t lift you out of the difficulty, it walked you straight into it, and what came up to be worked was deep. A pattern, or several. Something ancestral, or something you picked up along the way and have been using to get by.

You’re doing the work. You keep doing it. And you haven’t been back to that first awe in a long time.

This is the middle of the road and it’s the longest part of it. Friends fall away. Relationships strain. The why that started you gets thin enough to see through.

The awe is still there. What’s lost is the thread back to it, and a thread can be found. There are steps for walking it.

Start with Finding Your Medicine, or the Joy of Becoming.

The career, the habits, the relationships, the version of yourself you were sure about, all of it loosening at once, and no clear reason for any of it.

Most people find this under dark night of the soul, spiritual awakening signs and symptoms, or spiritual emergency. It isn’t depression, though it can look identical from outside and the two can run together. The difference people describe is that depression is empty in every direction and this has a direction, even when you can’t see it.

I’ve been through several, and several awakenings. Wherever you are inside one, I can meet you there.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

You’ve started questioning what you were raised in. The doctrine of it, or what the institution did with its power. And you still have a relationship with God, or with whatever you’d call it, that you don’t want to lose. If you have children, you might be wondering what you’re supposed to teach them.

You can keep what’s yours and put down what isn’t. That sorting is real work and it’s welcome here.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

A teacher, a channeler, a community that opened something genuine in you. And a question underneath it about whether all of it is true and whether you should keep going.

Discernment is a skill and it can be built. What I give you access to is your own source, not mine, which is the whole point of asking this one here.

Start with the Higher Self Journey.

Past lives, other lives, the long view. Sometimes curiosity, sometimes because a pattern in this life makes no sense on its own.

This is past life regression, done through hypnotherapy. If past lives aren’t a frame you hold with, call it another life, or call it a story that shows you what this one has covered over.

Start with the Higher Self Journey, or QHHT if you can get to Waxhaw and want the full day.

Where the soul originated. Off-planet incarnations. Starseed lineage, galactic family, and who you’re connected to.

People ask this constantly and are often embarrassed to. You don’t have to be here.

Start with the Higher Self Journey, or QHHT.

Dreams you can’t shake. The same number everywhere. Something seen with your eyes open. A face, a message, a feeling that someone was in the room.

You can look these up, and you’ll find a hundred people ready to tell you what yours means. They don’t know. You do, and there’s a way to go and ask directly.

Start with the Higher Self Journey.

You’ve made the list. You’ve talked it through with everyone. You still don’t know.

Start with the Higher Self Journey.

Work, income, whether it eases, and what to do in the meantime.

Start with the Higher Self Journey, or Finding Your Medicine if the money worry is sitting on something older.

Whether to move, whether to stay, whether this place is finished with you.

Start with the Higher Self Journey.

Ungrounded, foggy, watching your own life from a step behind, or not quite whole.

Shamanic traditions call this soul loss, and the work of bringing the missing part home is called soul retrieval. Clinical language calls a version of it dissociation. Both describe the same thing from different sides.

This one responds well and often faster than people expect, because the work begins in the body rather than in the story.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

You’ve tried filling it. Some of what you tried worked for a while.

A hole that won’t close is usually a place something is missing rather than a place something is wrong, and those are worked differently. Soul loss again, in its most direct form.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

Being treated as less than a whole person, repeatedly, over years. It costs a body something, and that cost is real whether or not anyone around you names it.

Start with Finding Your Medicine.

Is there anything important I haven’t thought of. Is there something I’m unaware of.

This shows up on nearly every question sheet I receive, and it’s one of the better questions to bring.

Start with Finding Your Medicine, or the Higher Self Journey.

That’s enough to start. Most of what we find wasn’t what anyone came in expecting.

Start with Finding Your Medicine, or come to a circle first.

Usually it’s because you were busy watching.

There’s a part of you whose job is to evaluate. It’s asking whether this is safe, whether you’ve seen this before, whether it’s working, whether it matches what you expected. That part is useful and it isn’t where this work happens. While it’s running, it will miss most of what’s going on.

The part that receives comes on when you’re settled and a little curious. Not trying. Not measuring. That’s hard to do on purpose, which is why a first session sometimes goes mostly to your system deciding it’s safe to be here before anything else can happen.

If you spent the whole hour grading it, that’s ordinary and it doesn’t mean nothing happened.

Yes. A good number of the people I work with aren’t, and several have told me afterward that they weren’t sure they believed in any of it when they booked.

“This was my first time experiencing anything like this, dealing with spirituality wise but I am a believer now. I actually fell asleep laying on a flat table, round rocks under my hands and a heater on my feet.”

Google review

Neither is required.

The breath does the settling for you whether you cooperate or not. And if you don’t see pictures, there’s a route through sensation and body location instead, which works as well.

“Her disposition is perfection for someone, like myself, that is high-strung.”

Google review

We stop, settle, and come back. Feet, ground, room, breath. That isn’t the session going wrong.

There are also places we don’t go. Some material is defended and can be approached gently. Some is protected, and your system has good reasons for that. I read the difference, and I don’t push through a protected door.

Once it’s out, it doesn’t vanish. It sits just outside for a while.

What happens next is yours. Sometimes a person reaches for it without deciding to and pulls it back, because it’s familiar, and familiar is what a body reads as safe. Sometimes a person recognizes it at the door and doesn’t open it. That isn’t a test you pass or fail, and it isn’t one chance. It comes back to the door more than once. Each time you don’t open it, the next time is easier.

If I could take a pattern out of you without your participation, someone else could put it back the same way. The part that’s up to you is the part that makes it hold.

A felt reference, which matters more than it sounds like it does. Not the memory of having understood something. A state you were actually in. That’s what any practice I give you afterward hooks onto, because instructions to return to something you’ve never felt don’t work.

Where a session includes a recording, you keep it.

Breath, trance, and journey in every session. Beyond that, whatever the work asks for.

Reiki and energy work. Sound healing, including bowls, tuning forks, and rattles. Stone and crystal medicine. Plants. Channeled material. Shamanic journeying. Ancestral and lineage healing. Past life regression, when a life that isn’t this one is holding the pattern. Inner child work. Archetypal work, following Jung and Caroline Myss. Birth patterns and natal charts. Nervous system regulation underneath all of it.

I don’t practice one methodology. I use many, combined in ways that make each one stronger and cover more ground than any of them manages alone.
