MY APPROACH

I am passionate about life. A passion for life, loves, happiness and joyful moments is a possibility for everyone. The choice to achieve this is yours, and yours alone. You are your destiny however you choose to live. However, we all become “stuck” in ways of behaving, interacting with others which is not fulfilling a purpose in our lives. In other words, we can create our own unhappiness, depression, anxieties by believing more in what others’ may think of us versus what our hearts’ desire may be.

If we create our own unhappiness, then we can also create another way to live by being happy and joyful. Sometimes we just may need a little help becoming “unstuck”. My goal is to help co-create a new vision of your Self as happy. Simple. If you believe you can, then you can with a little bit of creative, adventurous help.

I believe laughter really is the best medicine. Laughter creates joy. Joy creates happiness. When overwhelmed by any situation, we can forget to find our laughter and joy.

Working collaboratively with respect for one’s Self through creative, empowering and inspirational thoughts, we can move towards a healthy Self. Remembering to stop and smell the roses presented to us along the way.

Take a step away from the edge, and take a challenge to be a healthier version of you!

  • Mindfulness
  • Solution-Focus
  • Transpersonal
