In the realm of emotional medicine practices and self-healing, there is a profound understanding that trauma is not solely confined to words or memories, but is deeply imprinted within our very being. Over the years working with women and children in a wellness setting, it has been a gift to bear witness to the stories and evidence of the shocks, conflicts and/or traumas in the psyche that precede the onset of the physiological symptoms that facilitate healing.

Best advice that I can give to my clients is that sometimes you have to take the risk on saying yes to your goals, visions and dreams. As a provider who focuses on a more holistic approach for all of my cleints, my ultimate goal is to see all of my clients reach milestones in their health that they envision. That milestone could be losing weight, not having as much anxiety or not staying in a place of depression. In order to get to these milestones it takes individuals to first assess their needs and then being able to say yes to doing the work for better. Read more>>

When I’m working with clients whether it’s in the ketamine-assisted therapy space or simply talk therapy, the core of our work surrounds the belief that there are a variety of parts that exist inside of us + that there are no bad parts. In various times throughout our lives, we formed aspects of ourselves in response to distress, as a complex aspect of our internal survival systems. These parts of us all have their own perspectives of the world, their own vulnerable needs, + solutions for protection. Read more>>

Donna says, “In the coaching space, I consider myself a pilot lighter. The comfort of old patterns of thinking and behavior are strong and real. It’s easier, in the short run, to stay rooted in familiarity. In western culture, distraction is a menace to awareness and consistency, two qualities that are needed to create change. Read more>>

In working with our clients, one of the best pieces of advice that I think can be given is remembering that you can’t control other people’s reactions, you can only control your own actions. Being able to focus on output rather than outcome helps immensely in shifting the focus from expecting everyone around you to change to empowering yourself by thinking about what you can change instead.
