About me
I was a high school teacher of English, World Religions, Anthropology Sociology and Psychology, for 30 years. For 20 of those years I also trained and had a part-time practice in psychotherapy. My foundational training is in Gestalt Therapy and Satir Marriage and Family Therapy. As part of my ongoing personal and professional development I trained with two female shamans for two years, three different energy healing systems, spiritual healing through the Sufi path which I have been on for 30 years and finally came to Family Constellations five years ago. My experiential training and study of constellations felt like uncovering a knowing which has always been inside me. Sadly I did not meet Bert Hellinger in physical form but he is my teacher and mentor in the Field and I continue to be enthralled and deeply informed by his genius.
I retired from teaching at the secondary school level and my work with educators here in Ontario Canada and decided to work overseas as my midlife adventure! I returned home after four years of working with several educational organizations and NGOs as director of staff development programs.As I restarted my counselling practice and discovered Family Constellations,my work with people has deepened and developed in wondrous ways. I am learning so much and so grateful for this international training and opportunity to experience teachers who I have only known through their books so far. I must admit to being a bit star struck! So excited!
My therapeutic approach is person centred, humanistic, holistic and based in spirituality and soul work.The most important benefit you will attain in working with me is to remember, recover and reclaim your essential self. When you are consciously connected to yourself and your soul’s guidance, you have the internal resources, calm, clarity and confidence you need to live your life authentically and make your unique contribution in the world.
We are greater and more profound than the sum of our individual aspects. Over the years, the synergy of all my trainings and experience has led me to hone a unique process which connects with the deeper intelligence within us and goes well beyond traditional talk therapy to get to the root of any problem for lasting transformation in individuals and their relationships.
Soul to Soul Counselling integrates mind, body, soul and a revolutionary approach to trans generational legacies and inherited traumas to transform what was experienced as a debilitating issue into a strength and resource within you, which lets love flow in your life.
