My Approach Starts With You

It all starts with getting to know you and creating a safe space where you can share with whatever you are comfortable sharing as I will never push you and will always ask for your consent before trying something new.  I have supported hundreds of people over the past few years and no two people had the exact same symptoms (even the ones that had the same diagnosis).  

Brain retraining, nervous system regulation tools, and the deeper inner work have all evolved significantly over the past few years where it is now understood that a one-size-fits all approach is not as effective as a personalized approach.  I firmly believe that there are many paths to healing.  To help find a path that works for you requires me to know more about some of your history (what you feel comfortable sharing), what things you have tried so far, what fears or doubts you may have, and more, to get a better understanding on what may be causing your symptoms.

The reason for symptoms that is often given online is that the brain is perceiving danger.  And while there is some truth in that, it often goes much deeper than that as there may be something lurking in the subconscious mind that may be a factor in causing some of the symptoms.  Most of the people that I work with have tried more than one program, have worked with more than a few coaches, and have not been able to get past feeling stuck.  

I specialize in helping people find the subconscious patterns that may be hindering their progress.  And this is only done when they are ready and when the subconscious is ready.  

I call myself an "integrative" mind body coach because I am not attached to any single tool, perspective, or modality.  Whether it's neural brain retraining, somatics, fascia exercises, vagal toning, the vast amount of nervous system regulation tools, functional neurology eye exercises, tapping of different kinds, inner child work, etc. the set of tools, how they are used, and their frequency will all be tailored to your specific needs. 

My philosophy on using tools is that while they are very supportive on anyone's healing journey, they are not the most important thing.  An essential component of healing is who you are being while you are using tools.  For what seemed like endless months, I used my tools out of fear, urgency, and trying to fix myself because I thought I was broken.  Which was understandable, and when the brain and nervous system are stuck in a survival state, this is a normal and reasonable response. 

One of the keys to sending those signals of safety to our nervous system is to slowly and gradually change the perception of what is actually happening and step into acceptance and neutrality towards our symptoms.  I'm not saying one should ignore their symptoms, that isn't possible for most, especially if they are constant and/or intense.  It's about changing the stories we tell ourselves about them. 

A Little Bit Of My Story

While I had health issues for many years, in 2018 things had gotten so bad that I had to go on medical leave from work and move in with my parents out of state.  In 2020, after 2 years of putting it off, I finally dove in and tried a popular brain retraining program.  Over time I added more tools that I found supportive such as somatics, tapping, empowered self talk, journaling, inner child work, and more.  And I over came many things, some of which I had been told I would have the rest of my life.  While not a comprehensive list, these are some of the things I have overcome. 

I'm about to mention some symptoms and medical labels, so if it is not available to you yet to read about them, please skip past the bullet points and go to the next section below:

  • Complex PTSD

  • Fibromyalgia 

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

  • MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity)

  • OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

  • Anxiety

  • Panic Attacks

  • PEM (Post Exertional Malaise)

  • General Malaise

  • Suicidal Ideation

  • Chronic Body-Wide Pain

  • Food sensitivities

  • Migraines

  • Vertigo

  • Rashes

  • Nausea

  • Fever

  • Malnutrition

  • Sympathetic Dominance

  • Hypervigilance

  • Lyme, Bartonella, and other co-infections

  • Arthritis

  • Air hunger

  • Hallucinations

  • Eye floaters

  • Gastritis

  • Esophagitis

  • Barret's Esophagus

  • Acid / Bile Reflux

  • Adrenal Issues

  • Arthritis

  • Insomnia

  • Depression

  • Uncontrollable Crying

I truly believe I overcame these labels not solely because I used my tools consistently, but I became a different person.  The old version of me felt unworthy, felt small, felt that putting other people's needs ahead of my own was the way to go, and fear and uncertainty ruled my life.  Things began to shift for me when I addressed my beliefs, my values, and comforted my inner children.  This required me to adopt an open mind and a willingness to challenge and change beliefs that were not supportive.

If you would like to explore the possibility of working together, please read the paragraphs below before filling out the application.  Thank you.

At this time I currently only work with individuals who have completed a healing, brain retraining, or any program that focuses on regulating the nervous system (which includes the limbic system of the brain) for at least one full year. 

Because of the nature of the type of coaching that I do, I currently am not able to work with people who have extreme sensitivities (examples:  sounds, light, textures, scents, to name a few) or are unable to maintain a focused conversation for at least 30 minutes.

Because we will be working together to find the root mind-body causes to what may be causing the symptoms, this kind of work requires anyone I work with to be willing to take an honest, objective look at themselves, be open to constructive feedback (my feedback is always wrapped in a loving, understanding container), willing to answer questions which may challenge their thoughts or beliefs (in a very non-confrontational ways), be coachable, and ready to do the transformational work necessary in order to have the best chance at achieving the desired outcome.  

The majority of the people I work with have, on average, done at least 2 healing programs, worked with at least 3 other coaches, have seen many health practitioners, and come to me when they are ready to explore what subconscious patterns and core beliefs (and blind spots) may be hindering their process.  So I tend to work with people who have been on their health journey for many years, even decades.

While this type of transformational work can achieve shifts in a few weeks for some, for the majority it takes much longer than that. And I understand that the protective part of the brain that is in charge of keeping us secure and safe may want to know a more definitive answer, but in good conscious I cannot give one as the brain and the nervous system will change when it is ready to do so. 

If you feel you meet these criteria then I encourage you to fill out the application below.  If you're not sure about the criteria or have any questions about anything, please contact me at the email below.

After you fill out the application I will reply within 1 to 2 business days.  If I feel we are a good fit, I will send some additional information on how to book a session along with payment information.  If I feel we are not a good fit I will reply with my reasoning or may have some additional questions for you (or we can both agree to get on the phone and have a short chat).

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at help@rewirethebrain.org

Thank you for your time.
