- Are you pulled in a thousand directions in order to be super woman?
- Do you have a parent, partner, or child whose health or emotional needs demand more energy than you feel able to provide?
- Have you become trapped in a busy life so that you no longer have time for friends, exercise, or a cup of tea?
You’ve reached a point where life isn’t what you thought it would be. Life looks fine on the outside but inside it feels empty and hollow leaving you with a longing for something different.
Your self-care is being eclipsed by the needs of everyone else. And, while you love them and can justify that their needs are greater because they are sick, or aging, or unable, it just doesn’t feel right to have to take a backseat day after day.
There’s a sadness and loneliness you push away because it feels like if you really looked at it, it would mean the kind of change that breaks open hearts and breaks families apart.
You wake up wondering how you can make it through your day at this pace. You move through your day on autopilot, keeping the status quo, and taking care of business but feeling like you are living life only half way. You may be struggling with grief and loss or a sense of dissatisfaction while having to manage the daily routines of life.
It doesn’t have to be like this – even if you are caring for others.
Working with me will offer you clear guidance about your next steps without judgment and with attention to your self-care. I blend mindfulness techniques, ancient teachings from wisdom traditions, and expressive therapies drawn from movement and art as simple and relevant tools individually tailored for your unique situation and needs. Together we will find ways to bring your heart, mind, body and spirit into alignment. We will develop incremental steps that work for you and that will allow you to honor your needs, responsibilities, and dreams.
I am here to help you uncover the lost parts of yourself and the inner wisdom you have gained up to this point.
From the still point of that inner compass, life changing decisions can be made while staying true to your values.
Life becomes lighter and fuller — an adventure as you discover your resilience, and makeover your life to include yourself and your needs. Together we will create a clear plan to find support and nurturance within your life so that you can find ways to carry yourself as you carry those you love.
It can be hard to put yourself first. It can be immensely rewarding to do so. If you’re ready to put your self-care at the top of your “to do” list, give me a call to schedule a free 20-minute consultation and discuss your next steps.
