Your Healing Journey Begins
Helping Women Heal and Live Empowered Lives
Finding yourself here probably means transition and change are taking place in your life or is on the horizon. Maybe you are struggling because of family-of-origin issues, codependency, self-esteem issues, love addiction/love avoidance, sex addiction, or other intimacy disorders. It feels like you’re navigating the world, unable to care for yourself in meaningful ways. Complicated love relationships, challenges at work or school, financial instability, and perhaps declining physical health have prevented you from living a healthy, functional life.

Helping You Move from Surviving to Thriving
Showing up as the best version of yourself. Standing in your own humanity. Trusting your intuition. Being unapologetic in your true authenticity. Living fully in the space of your functional self. This all starts with six core elements for well-being:
Loving yourself
Knowing yourself
Protecting yourself (through the use of internal boundaries)
Taking care of yourself by asking for what you need and want
Containing and moderating yourself
Taking care of your needs and wants with others interdependently
Self Esteem (how were you valued)
Reality (how you were validated in your sense of self)
Boundaries (how were you protected physically and emotionally)
Self-Care (how you had your needs met or not)
Moderation (how limits were set and enforced in your family)
Attachment (how you relationally attached with caregivers and others)
These skills create the foundational practice that supports your healing and sense of empowerment. By using a blended model approach of the Core Issues work by Pia Mellody, I assess the states of immaturity or lack of development you received in these six areas:
