Om Sweet Om
Meditation is a modality I use to elevate clients to their most optimal life achievable. The benefits are immense, which is why I’ve made it a foundational component to my entire life – and this is my goal for you, too.
Don’t let the word scare you off; you don’t have to be a wandering, acetic hermit to maintain an effective meditation practice. I give my clients effective tools so that they may incorporate successful meditation techniques into their frenetic lives.
Benefits Package
The overall effect: it’s grounding.
Regular meditation is a proven way to align with a) your vision, b) your purpose and c) your truest self. You’ll experience heightened alertness, clarity of thought along with a purposeful focus.
This is so very important for survivors and achievers alike: in both the most trying and prosperous of times, we all need to clear our minds of needless clutter to get – and keep – us in control.
Restricted Access?
Not only is meditation for everyone, it’s also been a universal practice since the dawn of time. I say this because we here in the west associate meditation with Asian mountain-temples, but this is a vast misconception.
Indigenous peoples of North, Central and South America have employed meditation rituals for countless generations. Likewise, across the pond, European monasteries use meditation to connect with the divine – and have done so since time immemorial.
Each practice takes a different form, but the function remains constant. If people across the continents can surpass boundaries to go deeply within, then so can you.
I’ll show you where to begin. Or, if you’re a seasoned meditator, we can work together to bring you’re your practice to a new height. Once we safely incorporate a visualization technique into our sessions, my goal is to enable you to bring your practice wherever you go.

I have been participating in these series for a few years now and I just love them!
