The KALEIDOSCOPE OF MY OWN HEALING JOURNEY
My work is dedicated to the unique essential light inside each of us, often during our life journey we loose connection to this truth of our being.
We disconnect from our birthright of inner peace and the freedom attained through self love and personal empowerment.
It is our inner source that regenerates us by offering strength and guidance. And helps connect us to our deep inner belonging and home.
My own healing journey began when I was very very young with big events such as traumatic loss, abuse, neglect and many hidden generational and family secrets. I had the very good fortune to grow up in my early years on a farm where I found great consolation in nature and the life of the farm around me. There was a great failure of my holding environment other than the natural life on the farm. Nature helped me connect to and feel my own deep sense of belonging.
As I grew older and we moved from the farm I still found consolation in the natural environments and also in Art. Nature helped me to connect to, find and feel my belonging.
In the age and culture in which I was growing up no one was talking about trauma or their feelings, loss or the unspoken shadows lingering in the environment from the lineage of grief and loss.
I began to explore what was my truth, what nourished my soul and what was real. I began practicing yoga and meditation. I began exploring esoteric sciences, astrology, Hinduism, Kabbalah, Aikido and Zen Buddhism.
I was fortunate enough to be a camp counselor at a wilderness camp in Norther Minnesota where they incorporated mystical Algonquin Indian traditions and practices into the camp life. Moving on from there I found an Indian Guru and lived in the Ashram experience for many years both in the U.S. and India. Back home I began to study energy healing with Barbara Brennan and Kabbalistic Healing with Jason Schulman and different kinds of body work, healing traditions and breath work. Moving to Colorado I studied movement with Emily Conrad, cranial sacral therapy with John and Anna Chitty and Pre and Perinatal psychology with Ray Castellino and William Emerson. I felt I couldn’t learn and understand enough. I dove deeply into learning everything I could about human development, physically, psychologically, and energetically.
With each new training and teaching I learned a new depth of wholeness and freedom opening up inside. I was blessed by so many great teachers; Emily Conrad, Ray Castellino, Barbara Brennan, Jason Schulman, John and Anna Chitty, David Sawyer, David and Marcia Ridin, Roshi Reta Lawler, Shinzen Young, Judith Schmidt, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Diane Poole Heller, Peter Levine, Thomas Huble. And this list continues.
HEALING IS A SPIRAL NOT A DESTINATION
I found my own body, soul and mind beginning to be freed up. I found trauma from what felt like lifetimes releasing. My heart began to feel free and flowing with life again. Undefended.
I became aware that there were times or events that triggered me into spiraling back into old stories, feelings, beliefs and energies. With each spiral into these old imprints, I also found myself experiencing them from a greater sense of being and resource within myself. I was not immersed in the event and I knew myself to be larger and greater than their impact. They did not have their same old grip on me. I found they moved through me without hooking into my sense of my True Being and Essence. I could then hold my own life journey with a deeper sense of kindness and compassion.
A deep feeling and love of being human and all of our human journeys here.
"Working with Hope has been an incredible resource and blessing in my life, during an especially vulnerable time. This process has helped me recover from a disruptive experience as well as turn toward and re-evaluate the direction of my life during a turning point phase. As a woman and practitioner in this community, I am so grateful for Hope and her support. I highly recommend working with Hope if you feel called!"
“I have worked with Hope for over 10 years and have grown so much with her as my therapist. She has a wealth of experience and knows how to give plenty of space for internal issues to emerge and be processed. She is very familiar with birth trauma and blends the psychological and the spiritual. I recommend her highly.”
"Hope has a natural ability to feel into what needs to be tended to and align with her natural healing ability to support others. I have always gotten a lot out of my sessions with her and am able to go deep into my somatic body and access deeper layers of healing~ Always feeling served. Hope has a beautiful way of holding space and being with what is. I feel safe, held and cared for with Hope and couldn’t recommend her more”
