I was interviewed on September 9th, 2012, by HiC Luttmers of Firefly Willows LIVE on Blog Talk Radio. I discussed my therapy practice and how I use Hakomi, expressive arts and hypnotherapy with my clients. We also talked about the role of doubt and uncertainty in our lives. Enjoy!

In this experiential workshop we will quiet the mind and body, follow the breath into movement, and use our creativity to remember our true essence. You will be guided through a mindful body scan, restorative yoga postures, and meditations to still the mind-body. By being in the moment and reconnecting with all of our senses we will refill with that which feeds our lives.
This is a donation, drop-in class. All proceeds will go towards the SF AIDS Foundation, in honor of the CA AIDS Life Cycle happening this week.

Today is the opening of my new private practice in the area of Japan Town/Lower Pacific Heights. My office is now located in the historic Healing Arts Building at 1801 Bush Street on the corner of Octavia, in San Francisco. I look forward to continuing to support people through their personal growth and healing.
Personally I find music and ambient sounds to be very relaxing and soothing to my senses. Because I work with many people who are stressed by every living and a variety of anxieties, sound can be a quick and effective way to soothe the soul. Here is my first installment in Soothing Sounds. This is an audio sample from the nature sound album: ‘Dawn Chorus: Australia’s Inland.’ I especially like listening to this one in the morning with my first tea, to welcome the day. Enjoy!
