THE WAY YIN | Signature Integrative Mental Health Session

Through a combination of ancient healing techniques and modern modalities, I help you release what is causing you physical pain and emotional distress.

By releasing these blockages, optimal flow of Qi (or energy) is restored and you can restore mind and body beyond the limitations of past experiences, survival patterns and old belief systems.

Most of my clients say that they “float” out of the office feeling lighter, re-centered and clearer on their path; reconnected to the version of themselves they are ready to express.

This is for you if you are..

  • Experiencing: panic attacks, heart palpitations, insomnia & disruptive sleep, nightmares, nausea, anxiety, fatigue, burn out, muscle tension, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest tightness, nail or skin picking

  • Struggling with overwhelming thoughts of doubt, worry, fear, automatic negative thoughts that are limiting you from experiencing the life you want

  • Limited by patterns of overthinking & overanalyzing with disruptive low self-confidence

  • Burned-out and desiring to feel more joy and satisfaction in life instead of chronic high-functioning anxiety and/or depression

  • Seeking support in overcoming obstacles and old limiting patterns

  • Ready to express the next version of yourself: physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically.
