“One of my deepest joys and privileges as a therapist is the opportunity I have to spend multiple days with a client at our cabin in the woods, The Sanctuary. We cry and we laugh and healing comes to the deep places we dare not show in “ordinary time”. I believe this sacred space we call home, this piece of land, aids in the healing. When an intensive ends, I’ve started inviting clients to join me at my “altar in the wild” to mark this point in their healing, in their becoming. Something I often remind clients of is that healing is not a straight line. Healing is a spiral, and so is our becoming, our evolution as souls here on this Mother Earth. I add rocks and items found in nature to my spiral at significant moments in my own journey and I invite clients to add their own as well. Our spiraling, our growth, always impacts one another. We do not heal or grow without impacting those around us. This morning I had the honor of sitting here at this beautiful altar in the wild God provided us with and celebrating with a client as she placed her stone of remembrance within the spiral.

“All healing work is sacred and we do not heal alone. We need one another. ❤️ I’m so grateful for clients that show such courage and trust me to hold their hand while we venture into the hardest places.

“I take off my shoes because I know I stand on the holiest of ground. My heart is filled with gratitude and wonder.”

It’s been a doozie of a week+ and yer girl is thankful to have herself a sit-n-spin for a bit.

That is, if I can get Princess Purrs’alot out of my spinning chair. Who can blame her though? It really is the most inviting place. 🥰
