We are complex; we need nuanced solutions, which is why I use tapping, IFS, Family Constellations, the Enneagram, and my intuitive skills to support you.
This week, I participated in a professional skills program with Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes, founders of the CP Enneagram Academy. The program was a lovely combination of therapists, coaches, and people like me. There was even someone from the EFT world, Helen Devlin, an EFT trainer I highly respected and met in the early 2000s.
It can be challenging for me to describe succinctly my work with clients. One of my clients calls me their “Energy Coach.” I like that.
People who benefit most from working with me have already started on their growth journey—not just started, but progressing with spiritual insights and expansions. They have done therapy and are established with either their family or work. In other words, their lives are working at some level.
And they still notice something that’s not working. That might be a sense of internal unease or restlessness. Or it might be an outward manifestation of being overworked or too busy as their careers progress. Or it’s painfully personal, like a recent loss, an upcoming new child, or wounds that arise as you parent your child.
I have a mixture of long-term and shorter-term clients who consider me part of their success kit. By long time, I mean 15 years, 5 years, or 10 years. A shorter term usually is four to six months.
I use several modalities that weave together throughout our work, starting with EFT (tapping). Tapping is how we address any old traumas that have not yet been cleared and then current stressors. Using a car analogy, tapping is the oil that keeps the engine running. You need enough oil, and you need to change the oil.
My clients have more complex or stubborn patterns. Tapping takes off the edge, but it’s not enough. That’s when I bring in IFS or Family Constellations to address the more interconnected issues, which can be collective, ancestral, or intrapersonal.
Think of IFS and FC as advanced diagnostics and repair.
All along the way, I notice and incorporate elements of the Enneagram and/or Human Design. Both have invaluable information, but I never use any system that doesn’t feel right for the client.
Knowing your Enneagram type and/or Human Design type is like finally getting the owner’s manual for your car. But more than that, it’s knowing what sort of car you are.
You find out that what feels like your deficits are part of your superpowers. We unravel why certain things trip you up and others energize you.
I don’t work with an extensive client group. Each client I work with involves a deep and personal exploration of who you are, what’s been dragging you down, and connecting to that lovely, unbroken, unique you that I know is there.
That’s a bit about what we might do together.
