"In our life we must one day choose.

  To either live in the world that man has created  

Or to live and be part of the world that was   created"

Welcome to my website, contained within the links and pages are many of the services and classes that I am able to offer individuals, groups and organizations
For over 15 years I have been working with people to help them learn how to heal and create the life they deserve. All that I have learned from my own healing journey as well as from the many people that I have shared my healing journey is what I use to guide and help people like you to learn how to heal yourself and learn new skills that will help you in the pursuit of your goals and dreams.

 I am a firm believer that

you cannot heal anything until you first understand what created it.

Being an adoptee of mixed ancestry created many questions that needed to be answered. Even though my adoptive parents tried their best to fulfill the role of mum and dad there was always something missing. This missing connection and the choices I made created many issues within my life. Most I have worked through and some I am still working on in my life as my search for my birth parents continues. When I finally understood why I felt the way I did growing up it taught me how to lessen the level of influence the learned negative aspects of myself had over me. It wasn't easy but in time I learned how to continue to move forward and to allow myself to become part of people's lives. I learned the value of identity and the need to belong.

 

 

You too, like all of us, when we have a hurt from our past it is very surprising the level at which it can effect our lives and the lives of those we care about. It is only through having the courage to see the importance of exploring who you are and what has shaped you in your life will you ever be able to fully heal. By understanding the life choices you have made that don't support you and understand why you made them you can learn to make wiser ones in the future. Some of the choices we have made in the past don't fully show their influence until many years later. This is why it is very important to learn how the many lessons in our life influence the choices we make.

 

The main way I approach helping or teaching people how to heal is by first working on building a foundation within themselves. The very first step is to work out what it is you actually believe in. Not what you have been told to or feel you should, but what it actually is. This becomes the foundation and the means that can help you through all the unknown aspects of your journey. It also is the starting point that can lead you to learn about who you are. Within the exploration of what we believe in we start to ask ourselves questions. These questions come from the very essence of who we are and in the journey of answering them we start to see the many aspects of our life in a new way. We start to feel closer to those we care about and also see the issues that are hurting ourselves and our relationships with everyone who is a part of our life.

 

The next stage is to learn different skills that will enable you to move forward in your chosen direction in life. Some of these tools are:

 

·         Discovering your natural way of being

·         explore what your life has taught you

·         How to see the negative experiences as positive lessons

·         Understanding your relationship with the natural world around you

·         How to feel connected

·         Becoming a part of something greater than yourself

·         Develop your intuitive nature

·         Becoming a healer within your own life or to help others

·         How you can help society by helping yourself

·         Bring balance back to your life

·         Nurture and heal your relationships with partner and family

·         Learning how to be you

 

I have worked with many people from all walks of life. What I endeavour to teach people and how I approach the way I teach is to always ensure that everything relates to the persons life and their chosen journey. This way you will always learn what you need for your life and journey not just a bunch of information that you find difficult to relate to.

 

When working with people I have two basic rules that I follow:

 

1.    You do not help someone until they ask and are willing to help themselves

2.    No one has the right to change another persons path

 

To me these two rules are very important as they define respect for myself and those around me. One of the greatest things we need to respect is personal space. You never go into someone's personal space without being invited. By not helping someone until they ask we are showing them respect by allowing them to first try to find their own answers or way forward. Even if we don't agree with the way they are approaching aspects in their life we must always respect their choices and allow them to achieve things their own way. In the same way those around us must also respect our personal space and not interfere in our lives until we choose to ask.

 

These two simple rules if chosen to be followed I feel will help humanity realize how much we disrespect ourselves and those around us. Our families, our communities, our nations and the human race at large are only in the state it is in because of the need to indoctrinate and disrespect the sacredness of personal space, personal beliefs and the sacredness of all life. We as human beings are all here to learn how to honor the sacredness of all life. We cannot even begin that journey until we first learn how to honor and respect the sacredness of ourselves. It is through understanding this we learn to allow ourselves to feel safe enough to be connected to the world we live in and to give ourselves the time to explore how that connection relates to our journey and our well being.

 

We can all learn from the natural world around us. The nature doesn't try to deceive itself; it flows along following the natural law of all beings. The nature understands that everything is connected to everything else. We can look at this in a spiritual context as in every beating heart is sacred and also connected to every beating heart. That is the awareness that everything we do will affect the next seven generations that follow us as the seven generation that came before us have affected our lives. Or we can look at it in a more scientific way. We are a part of an eco-system, that eco-system not only supports us it can, if we change it too much, affect the life and well being of every individual. Our societies have been shaped from the society we have come from. Our ancestor's choices created the platform our society today is built on. It is through this we can learn how all of us can make wiser choices from the not so wise choices we all have made. We can also learn that we are a part of something greater than ourselves and together we can help the human spirit evolve in a better way by first healing ourselves and honouring the sacredness of the path we now walk.

 

There are many aspects to what I teach and how I do my best to help people learn how to help themselves. I hope you enjoy the exploration of this website and please feel free to email me with any questions you wish to ask. The website is always growing with new workshops; books and classes so please check it out regularly.
