My Approach – “Pathways Home”
I call my work “Pathways Home.” It’s a holistic framework that I’ve developed and grown into over many years that focuses on, integrates, and “activates” the primary components of this embodied “vehicle” in which we navigate this life. You’ve heard it before: Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit. It’s an attractive, but confusing concept, until you learn that “the way home” using these tracks means largely abandoning the me-centric way that evolution set up for us as children and into young adulthood – even well into middle age. In its place is a Beyond-Me-centric way that relies more heavily on our physical and intuitive body to shift the “just me” identity to the greater truth and freedom that an all-of-us (or none-of-us) identity delivers.
Besides my own personal life experience, Pathways Home is rooted in a wide array of studies, training, and certification in Core Energetics (somatic psychotherapy), Embodied Relationship Mentoring, Integral Coaching, Reiki, “Mondo Zen,”and a variety of contemplative/ spiritual practices. These are outlined in greater detail through the link below.
In general, the starting point typically uses the somatic and energetic aspects of Core Energetics work as a foundation-laying phase – then gradually shifts to include layers of “spiritual” practice.
My clients appreciate my presence, my ability to be grounded, and the balance I have for following and supporting them at their growing edge. They like my honesty. I bring a mix of very practical tools, an understanding of basic emotional intelligence, and strategies for moving forward. Introspective, personal work is a journey and I’m there for my clients – often for several years. Together we investigate at deeper and deeper levels, ultimately taming (and smartening) the dominating ego and surrendering to the flow of life’s energy and truth.
