Personal Practice & Ever Exploration

​

I believe that helping people create a life and world that feels good to them requires a personal commitment to doing that work for myself as well. Alongside my formal training has been an on-going endeavor to meet, understand, and tend to myself in a way that helps guide me in my approach to supporting those I work with. I embody and prioritize this commitment to and investment in Self so that I may be as well-resourced as possible for the work I do in support of others. I feel a great sense of responsibility to those I work with, and the integrity of my efforts relies on my ability to resource myself in service of that responsibility.​​

Multi-modal Framework

​

There is no one true path to healing. 

 

The ability to be well-resourced within our lives is impacted by so much more than any one individual area, including our "mental health.” Our mental health does not exist apart from the influences of our historical and current experiences. Even as a mental health professional, I can attest to the fact that treating “mental health” out of the context of the rest of the influencing factors in our lives and worlds is a futile endeavor. 

 

My framework for supporting people to be well-resourced considers many influencing factors and is informed by various modalities. I have studied and been trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, Reiki, Yoga, and various other somatic approaches and energy healing modalities. I have also studied the impacts of nutrition, our environments, our daily habits, and other factors on our ability to access well-being. I have experimented and engaged with these approaches in my own personal, on-going healing journey. While I do not provide clinical mental health treatment or treat mental health diagnoses through my coaching work, all of these resources inform the way that I think about and approach my work with coaching clients. As a person impacted by trauma and a late-diagnosed neurodivergent adult, it is my belief that the more intimately and compassionately we connect with ourselves, the more effectively we can connect with others; with authentic connection being the foundation for transformational healing. The barriers to connecting with ourselves are many, and many of them hidden from our own sight. ​My goal is to support you in identifying those barriers and finding ways to meet and move beyond them with curiosity and compassion.

​

Intentional Community

 

Healing and growth don't happen in a vacuum. What we learn and the efforts we make must be applied, practiced, and embodied throughout our relationships and lived experiences. Our connection to ourselves influences our connections with each other, including within our personal relationships and proximate communities, which then influences our connection to the global community and how we exist, show up in, and engage with the world.

 

We can prepare ourselves for this practical application, as well as continue to refine our skills, through engaging in these practices in safe containers. One container for that is within the coaching relationship. Another container for that is through our own bodies and nervous systems, using somatic experiencing. Yet another container is through connections in small, intentional communities of others who are engaging in similar practices. Revolution Healing attempts to provide multiple containers, including our Connections Groups, through which people can learn, practice and refine their skills and efforts to continually enhance their relationships and lived experiences beyond intentional healing spaces.

The Bigger Picture

​

Your healing is not just about you.

​

Each of us has a responsibility to one another, which begins with our responsibility to ourselves. We all exist within a broader context which we interact with daily, directly or indirectly. By tending to ourselves with care and compassion and improving the relationships we have with ourselves, we will naturally begin to shift the ways in which we engage in our external world. Most of us spend a lot of time focusing on what we wish other people would change, without realizing that our commitment to our own well-being acts as a catalyst for the very change we wish to see. As within, so without. Through our own healing, we have the opportunity to enact a chain reaction that will ripple through our families, our communities, and our world. Whether it be by exposure, inspiration, modeling, or the shifting of practical dynamics as a function of our growth, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to take accountability for ourselves in service of the greater good. Each of our personal journeys have global implications, and the more of us who are willing to take on the challenge of meeting ourselves, the better supported and resourced our world will be.
