There must be more to life than this.

I'm really into personal growth.
I'm tired of feeling this way and tired of feeling tired.

I'm tired of getting my buttons pushed by the same thing over and over again.

I'd like to get off my medication for ____ if at all possible.

I'd like to learn some tools that will help me feel more in control in my life.
I feel overwhelmed. Confused. Crazy. Stuck.

I wonder if some unresolved trauma might be at the root of my problems.

I have panic attacks and/or a sense of dread.

Shelly's Message To You

"We are hard-wired for bliss." Candace Pert, PhD. neuroscientist

What Makes This Approach So Unique and Powerful?

It's Body-Informed
which means that it goes beyond the limitations of the thinking brain and accesses the bodymind, where all of the unconscious material that's driving your thoughts, feelings, and behavior, is stored.
You're the Expert
This approach recognizes that you are the only one who can know what's really happening inside you and knows that you have everything you need within you to heal and to feel better.
It Happens In Nature
and acknowledges that, while these powerful tools work just fine in an office, being in nature is in itself healing and further supports us in reconnecting with our innate wisdom and healing potential.

The Body Is the Doorway Into the Unconscious Mind.
"When we look below the surface chatter of our minds, and turn our attention to our bodies, we encounter the less familiar, but ever-present world of the felt sense. Animals live their lives by it, but we have become disconnected from it. Yet within it lies a deeper truth than the mind can know - like who we are, what we really want, and what's holding us back."   Shelly M. Smith
