It is really fascinating how the fractals of life unfold.  All we experience – what we label as the good, or the bad…all leads us to this very moment.  My website lists my “credentials,” but they were just stones along the path that brought me to Third Eye Integration.  My biggest “accomplishment” back then and now still is, simply showing up.  And sometimes, showing up means just getting out of bed in the morning if that is all I can do in that moment. 

          My path to here brings a remembrance of myself as a young mother, when I found myself in a relationship where there was violence.  The beautiful unfolding of that led me to work with battered women, study psychology and attempt to understand the depths of trauma. 

          These depths I explored through my studies at the University and through years of experience working with those with PTSD in a therapeutic counseling setting.  Valuable lessons and learnings happened, but the most significant of those lessons was the fact that what seemed to help people the most was simply holding space for them to feel and heal.  Sometimes that holding space looks like silence, sometimes it looks like some sort of vibration, and sometimes it means allowing the screams to come out and guiding a person back to Self. 

          After my children left my nest, I turned my home (what had been the safety of my own family) into a place that could serve as a container for others – a safe house for women.  Here we used therapeutic counseling modalities in conjunction with yoga, meditation, sound, nutrition, and most of all, relationship.  The integration had begun.

          But, with events of life as they occur, funding became impossible, so after our closure, I quickly brought the healing modalities of vibrational therapy out to the larger community, and took a job managing a wellness center.  There, the fractals continued to unfold in the form of connecting with other practitioners, with whom we shared our experiences, our offerings, and with whom the fractals continue on. 

          Third Eye Integration came as a natural progression.  We are just starting.  Watch the fractal unfold.
