My Story...

After practicing as a licensed professional counselor for more than 25 years and thinking I was retired for good in 2009, I have rekindled an old commitment to help women like you. Now I facilitate change for you as a support and wellness coach.

That commitment is also a passion. As an activator of the Divine Feminine Spirit, my goal is to support and lead women like you to a place of balance and well-being. It is a burning desire within me to support and teach women like you as you journey toward empowerment and transformation. That commitment is to stand by you and encourage you every step of the way as you work through the barrage of blocks and repeated patterns that hold you back and keep you from creating the life you desire.

Part of my program includes Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) – tapping. EFT is interactive, easy to learn, and easy to do on one’s own. EFT allows both client and practitioner to work together, while both are tapping at the same time. Tapping not only disrupts negative energy in the energy system and body, but it also clears a path to uncover in-depth issues in a nonthreatening way.

In addition to EFT, I am proficient in Matrix Reimprinting (MR). MR is a technique that takes EFT to a whole other level. It allows the client to tap on his or her younger self that experienced a trauma. After tapping on the younger self and relieving the trauma’s energy, a new picture can be created and reimprinted into one of empowerment. In so doing, the trauma no longer has an impact or influence on the client’s life.

Carmen is someone I consider a wise and compassionate coach and counselor. Her wisdom and thoughtful guidance have given strength to discover new paths to navigate many of life’s rapids.

Carmen facilitated an exercise for me that took me through an energetic activation. My plans had nowhere to manifest and grow until Carmen guided me to access there.

My Story Con't...

my early career

My training began with a master’s degree in psychology and a specialty in marriage and family therapy – systems theory.

Early in my career as a psychotherapist, I recognized an element was missing that was not alleviated by talking about and being aware of a problem. I realized that embedded in my client’s energy system and body were issues that no amount of talking could dislodge. So I began exploring energy healing and implemented my new knowledge in the form of hands-on-healing within my practice. I was led to train with The Healing Touch Program, an international, multi-level educational program in energy based medicine therapy.

I also studied with Peggy Huddleston, founder of “Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster,” a guide to a mind/body approach to dealing with surgery and other procedures, such as chemotherapy or radiation. This program, supported by research, has shown that through guided imagery, breathing and relaxation techniques, and affirmations, it is possible to not only heal faster, but studies have shown that there is less bleeding, fewer medications, and a faster recovery.

In 1995 I created Mindful Energetics, which encompasses all of my training. It is a unique approach to well-being, emphasizing how our mental and emotional energies affect our overall wellness and support unwanted and repeated patterns that obstruct our lives.

A huge ah-ha moment occurred in graduate school as I was faced with writing a paper on “how people change.” My first thought was that perhaps this type of paper should be assigned closer to the completion of courses. But as I wrote, I realized that shifting from unconscious to conscious living is the “key” to change. I was inspired by what Einstein said. “We cannot solve our problems with the same thoughts that created the problems in the first place.” Consequently, awareness leads to information. It’s like a roadmap for us to follow as we find our way out of the depths of our troubles. This seemly simple in some ways, but “oh so difficult a task,” holds the information we need to do life “differently” and THRIVE.

A Bit More About Me

Fun Facts:

I love being a grandmother! I have four of these jewels, ranging in ages from 19 to 9. They are so much fun!
I love to watch children’s movies with my 9 year old grandchildren. The creativity that goes into making these movie amazes me. It’s fun to talk with them about who the villain is going to be and what the heroine has to overcome.
I like to read historical fiction and murder mysteries with female heroines, especially those that “kick ass.” I get lost in the books and actually feel sad when I finish one. I miss the characters.
I live in a forest and my home is like a tree house. I wake up to birds singing. There’s lots of squirrels, chipmunks, and can’t leave out the pesky raccoons.
Painting and sewing help me decompress and believe me there are times when that is a huge necessity.
Singing is also a fun thing that I love doing. I’m blessed to sing with a small group called Voices Rising. I have found that singing brightens my soul!
