’Integrative Creative Companioning’ was developed after a decade of studying the nature of mind through the fields of yoga, psychology, philosophy and spirituality. Based on the intrinsic interconnection of body/mind/spirit/soul, this approach focuses on integrating expanded experiences through the body, to provide a relaxed resting place for mind- body.
My approach is based in mindfulness (bringing awareness to the present moment), underpinned by transpersonal and existential psychology. My way of being with clients (inquirers) is open, curious, intuitive and direct. If this resonates with you, please reach out via email to arrange a free 15 min initial consultation.

In these sessions, we will use creative and experiential arts, holistic therapy and embodied somatic self inquiry as the mediums for 'coming to Know'. Since 'coming to Know' is a process, rather than something to be achieved, we are less interested in the outcome of the art and more interested in what we 'come to Know' along the way, through the creative inquiry.
