Feeding Your Demons ®/Making Peace with Your Shadow Side

  • Demons are anything that blocks our path to freedom—our anxieties, anger, addictions, the shadows of trauma, or any force that creates suffering in our lives. When we fight these inner obstacles, we give them more energy. Like adding fuel to fire, our resistance intensifies their power. But when we turn toward these forces with radical compassion, asking "What do you need?" rather than "How can I destroy you?", something miraculous happens.​The very energy locked in conflict transforms into wisdom and protection.

PRIVATE GRIEF, BEREAVEMENT and LOSS SUPPORT

I have provided grief and bereavement support for over 30 years in hospitals, cancer centres and in private practice. I provide a companioning approach; walking along side-of-you as you navigate your way through the intense emotions of loss creating a personal approach that is unique to you and your grief; we will explore and develop together skills for coping to lessen the all consuming pain of loss.

Grief is chaotic, perplexing, and excruciating.  Grief is like a rogue wave that knocks you off your feet and drags you like an undertow into the deep fathomless waters of an inescapable never-ending blackness of drowning and breathlessness. 

For many, grief defies verbal definition for no word or group of words can describe the experience.  Grief is circuitous and convoluted without any linear path.    

Most of us do fairly well at being compassionate towards others when they are grieving.  Many of us are actually shocked by the experience of grief; Shocked how grief has gripped us; shocked how strong our aversion is to pause and offer compassion to ourselves; We are told that self compassion is critical to ones physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. But when grief becomes our companion the words we tell ourselves can become hollow and meaningless.

 Grief is non-negotiable. Grief is messy. Grief is all encompassing. Grief demands our undivided attention; an attention that no one wants to give.

I also provide at no-cost, ongoing in-person community grief groups - please phone me for information about dates, times and locations for these groups.

USUI & KARUNA REIKI MASTERTEACHER AND PRACTITIONER

Reiki is a form of energy healing that works holistically on the whole body, mind and spirit. It provides the client a period of deep relaxation especially useful during illness or end of life.

I practice two distinct types of Reiki - Usui and Karuna Reiki. Karuna Reiki evolved out of Usui Reiki. It is not a substitute for Usui Reiki; it is simply an additional technique that is used to focus more on emotional and spiritual balancing; a spiritual evolution of Usui.

THERAPEUTIC HYPNOTHERAPY

Therapeutic Hypnosis can aid in assisting one to address undesirable behaviours, cope better with fears, anxiety or pain, explore limiting thoughts, feelings and memories . Hypnosis creates a state of focused mental attention and concentration increasing ones suggestibility during which positive suggestions and guided imagery are used to assist an individual to change life limiting behaviours that are affecting their quality of life and well being.

  • COGNITIVE HYPNOTHERAPY - focuses on guiding the client out of a problematic state (for example fear, phobias, lack of focus or concentration) to take back control of one’s feelings, thoughts and behaviours.

  • PAST LIFE REGRESSION HYPNOTHERAPY - Works with an unconscious past life experience to uncover critical information about emotional blocks, limiting beliefs, past unresolved trauma which may include physical symptoms allowing one to reshape their perceptions and responses empowering them to make proactive choices in their present life.

  • SOLUTION-FOCUSED HYPNOTHERAPY - focuses on ones life limiting challenges combining solution-focused hypnotic suggestions anchored in the conscious brain for positive change.
