What is the essence of healing? Where does that place of deep knowing, truth and aliveness live in our beings? I believe we all have access to an "inner healer" - or that place inside of ourselves that knows how to move through life's joys and challenges in such a way that we continue to grow in our capacity to love ourselves and others, to be clear on our no's as well as our yes's, and to move courageously in the direction of whatever nourishes, inspires and has meaning for us. I see my role in the work I do with youth, adults and groups as one of an ally or support person to assist in accessing and amplifying each person's innate healing capacity.
