You might be looking for an energetic 'tune-up' or 'tune-in' and a few sessions will be enough for you. Or you might be dealing with stickier, more chronic conditions and be on a longer path to healing and discovery.
For new clients, I highly recommend at least three sessions to start (and I offer a discounted rate for a 3-session starter package). This allows us to take a few layers off, reinforce any shifts and to address deeper work together.
After this you can choose to come weekly, monthly, seasonally or just occasionally. We can also work together to develop a session plan and asses as we go as it may change.
It is very beneficial if you are regularly practising an energy routine &/or the energy exercises and any homework we discuss at each session. The more you do for yourself to keep your energy moving, crossing and connecting, the more quickly you will adopt and integrate new energy patterns and habits, the deeper we can work in our time together, and the faster you will see and feel the difference!
I am happily in my mid-forties on a life journey which has been full of challenges, sorrow, joy and wonder and the search for grace and truth. Academically I studied economic development and environmental science. For 20 years, I worked to encourage regenerative agriculture and local food economies. Increasingly frustrated and disheartened with what felt like blind self-interest and willful negligence, I began to seek out and create resilience and beauty in our chaotic and suffering world. At the same time, I was navigating the stormy waves of a toxic divorce, single parenting, blended families and complicated children. As the circumstances of my life and the experience of my body became heavier and more confusing, I began to unravel.
My search for understanding and truth brought me to Journey Method work and the practice of Presence. I began to lean in, listen and let go. My ego's running wheel was paused by the birth of our youngest daughter and I stopped the busy 'doing' and felt the quiet of 'being'.
Then Eden Energy Medicine found me. After practicng Donna's Daily Energy Routine for two weeks, the heaviness lifted in my body and I found myself walking the unexpected path of my soul's calling. COVID and circumstance gave me the opportunity to cocoon and learn to let my body show me the way. And when life finally broke me and I stopped resisting everything, my experience of the mystical universe truly opened up!
I list on my Resources page, some of the teachers and practices in energy medicine, yoga and qi gong that have helped me to get my energy moving . I also share teachers who have helped me open my heart, guide my mind, trust the wisdom of my body, and deeply listen to the natural world around us, that is us.
I am still unravelling and uncovering more of 'who I am' every day. And I am so grateful to be awake and of service in these times.
Starting summer 2024 find me @ Robins Nest!
I will be offering child and family sessions from Robin's Nest Family Care Centre Mondays.
I also offer sessions from my home, a stone house on a street corner near downtown Guelph, surrounded by wild, abundant gardens and wise old trees. My practice space can be accessible for those who can not climb stairs or are in a wheelchair.
Online and remote/ distance sessions are held over video call (or by phone if you prefer). This is a good option for those who can not come in person, for baby and child sessions, as a follow-up session or for a quick check-in.
I am occasionally available for house / hospital calls within a 1.5 hr drive of Guelph, ON. I also can offer in-person sessions on a farm north of Creemore ON. Overnight retreats on this farm are also available. If you are interested in these options, please contact me.
