Wellness Coaching
Wellness coaching for women centered healing focuses on empowering women to achieve holistic well-being, addressing physical, mental, and emotional aspects of their lives. This personalized approach acknowledges the unique needs and challenges women may face, creating a supportive space for growth and healing. Through one-on-one coaching sessions, women can explore their goals, navigate life transitions, and cultivate practices that promote self-care and resilience.
Woman-centered wellness coaching often integrates various holistic modalities, considering the interconnected nature of health. This may include nutritional guidance, mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, and exercises tailored to women's specific health concerns. By fostering a partnership between the coach and the woman, the coaching process encourages self-discovery and the development of sustainable lifestyle changes. Ultimately, the goal is to empower women to embrace their innate capacity for healing and well-being.
In the realm of women-centered healing, wellness coaching also emphasizes the importance of creating a nurturing and inclusive environment. Recognizing the diverse experiences and identities of women, the coaching process promotes cultural sensitivity and acknowledges the intersectionality of health. Through this comprehensive approach, wellness coaching becomes a catalyst for positive transformation, supporting women in their journey towards balanced and vibrant living.

Birth Story Medicine Sessions
During a birth story meeting, we will be exploring an experience of a birth-related moment or memory in hopes of gaining clarification, emotional resolution, new insight, and finding new meaning that may lead to increased self-acceptance and peace of mind. Sessions will vary between 45 minutes and 75 minutes, but are typically 1 hour in length, depending on the development of the session conversation. Thank you in advance for being a part of this journey and for allowing me to be a part of yours.
“Everything you have lived has a story, is a story. Every story is a story within a story, within a story, and stories are ever-evolving even when the story you are struggling with seems stuck. With the guidance of a skilled birth story listener, you will not be telling your story in the same way, which means you will leave with a different perspective-one that might surprise you. In your Birth Story Medicine session, you will not only be deeply heard, but you will have the opportunity to look at what happened in a new and more compassionate way.
Thank you in advance for being a part of this journey and for allowing me to be a part of yours. Please understand that as a birth story listener, I am not a therapist and cannot be operating as such during this meeting.
The BIRTH STORY MEDICINE process is not therapy, and is exclusively limited to talking through a personal experience related to childbirth. It may include talking about a spouse or family member who participated in the birth, or about issues related to meeting or caring for the newborn, however it does not include counseling for any clinical, marital or parenting issues in general.
From the moment a story-teller calls us, we begin following a trail backward to discover the mystery of the emotional conflict which will ultimately lead to the storyteller’s recovery of peace of mind and self-compassion.”

Reiki Sessions
A typical Reiki session lasts 45-90 minutes, offered in person or virtually. The recipient, fully clothed, can be on a treatment table, sitting comfortably, or receiving distance work. Reiki involves non-invasive touch on the head, shoulders, and feet, with energy flow over the chakra centers. The touch is gentle and respectful, ensuring comfort. Additional placements on limbs may be done as needed, and practitioners can also work with hands just off the body if preferred or necessary.
Reiki experiences vary; sensations include heat or coolness in the practitioner's hands, subtle pulsations, and cascading waves throughout the body. The energetic portion is typically silent, with the opportunity for discussion before and after to process emotions or visualizations. Many find the Reiki experience comforting.
Recipients often feel heightened consciousness during Reiki, being both aware of surroundings and introspective. Some enter a sleep-like meditative state. Effects vary; some experience dramatic shifts, while others find the initial session uneventful but feel improvement afterward. The most common outcome is instant stress relief and deep relaxation. Reiki's effects accumulate, leading to progressively deeper experiences and energetic healing. Beyond immediate effects, ongoing changes may include feeling centered, less reactive, and enjoying life while being fully present.
