emotional mastery
"You can't heal what you don't feel." — Debbie Ford
Emotional mastery is about becoming aware of our feelings, allowing them to be there, and listening to the information and wisdom that they hold.
It is about taking responsibility as adults, for the things that happened in the past that caused us to make limiting decisions about ourselves. Most emotions are rooted in past pain that we project onto present circumstances. By becoming more fully aware of ourselves, as well as the factors that drive us to do what we do, we are able to show up differently in the present and create new futures.
“Keep sweeping things under the rug and sooner or later you will trip and fall.” — Ed & Deb Shapiro
Several healing modalities such as Polyvagal Informed Therapy (Deb Dana), Ancestral Clearing (John Newton), Journey Therapy (Brandon Bays), Shadow Work (Debbie Ford) and Zero Pain Now (Adam Heller) have been immensely supportive and effective for me in my personal healing journey. I am certified to use these practices in my medical work.
polyvagal informed therapy | rhythm of regulation®
Befriend your nervous system as you get to know your autonomic patterns of connection and protection. Through a Polyvagal approach to living, the door opens to compassion.
Becoming polyvagal-informed was an absolute game-changer for me when I realised that I had been “hypervigilant” for most of my life and did not even realise it… Understanding that it was my body’s protective mechanism allowed me huge self-compassion. It was my autonomic response to the traumatic events of my past. Learning how to manage my nervous system has been life-altering as I feel I now have more tools and resources to manage the intensity and complexity of being human.
“The Science of Feeling Safe Enough To Fall in Love with Life and Take the Risks of Living” — Deb Dana, Rhythm of Regulation
An autonomic nervous system that co-regulates and self-regulates with ease creates the possibility to move out of the need for protection—and instead to embody a system that finds joy in connection.
This modality uses a Polyvagal lens to understand and resolve the impact of trauma—and to create ways of working that honour the role of the autonomic nervous system as we move through states of protection and connection in an ongoing quest for safety.
I completed Deb Dana’s Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice signature training series and I am certified to use Deb’s innovative methodology, tools and practices.
journey therapy
In searching for tools to heal my own emotional wounds, I became a certified Journey Practitioner. Journey Therapy is a profound and effective way of accessing deep core issues, unconscious beliefs, fears and programming, and releasing cell memories across all dimensions. It offers a unique set of tools for deep mind-body healing and transformation, facilitating the awakening and liberation of our infinite human potential.
ancestral clearing | health beyond belief
Using the powerful modalities of breathwork, ancestral forgiveness, and connecting to the Source of all healing, John Newton’s work (Ancestral Clearing and Health Beyond Belief) has helped thousands of people from all walks of life resolve chronic stress, pain, and limiting beliefs—supporting their physical, emotional, financial and spiritual wellbeing. This is accessible to all, through the simple process of releasing the energetic charge associated with blocks and burdens from our lives and family lineages.
No belief is necessary to benefit from this work. The only requirement is to want help. John encourages people who are skeptical to let the results speak for themselves.
pain elimination | zero pain now
After suffering from severe lower back pain for 12 years, I came across Zero Pain Now, a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)-based method of eliminating chronic pain—the cause of which in 97% of cases is repressed emotions. I now move, dance and adventure through life pain free! The best part is that this does not take months of therapy—healing happens for most people in 28 days or less.
Emotional pain and physical pain are connected, we can’t treat one without the other. The Zero Pain Now process works by eliminating the root cause of the pain, instead of only treating the symptoms.
integrative coaching | shadow work
Our shadow is made up of all the parts of ourselves that we hide, deny, suppress, and don’t see in ourselves—both the positive and the negative. We reject these parts out of shame, fear, or disapproval, and this ends up controlling how we live our lives.
Shadow Work is about accepting the aspects of ourselves that we would rather not acknowledge, instead of running away, distracting, burying issues and pretending that they do not exist. It is about seeing the shadow as a friend, rather than an enemy.
“We must at all times remember that Shadows are simply Shadows, and every one contains a Gift. When you change your attitude, you will see that all the Shadows are cast by the same light.” — Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys
In the words of Debbie Ford, founder of The Ford Institute:
“It is only when we have the courage to face ourselves exactly as we are, right now, without any self-deception or illusion, that we will have the ability to give ourselves everything that we desire and deserve in this lifetime. […] We must learn to love the totality of our humanity if we want to embrace the fullness of our human experience.”
I participated in several Shadow Work trainings with Debbie Ford and I am an Integrative Coach trained in five of her coaching models.
