I'll start by asking you--what are you hoping for? What's your take on what's getting in your way? What works for you--and what doesn't?

What kind of learning works best for you? Are you a visual learner? Or auditory, or kinaesthetic? Do you see things in patterns? Do you lean towards science, art, math, philosophy? What matters to you--not just in learning, but in your life?

My work as I see it is to help you find what you need: it might be facts, attitudes, capacities you have but are currently blocked from; abilities and talents you may not even know you have! Things you want to do in your life that will bring you to your purpose and add meaning to your days.

We may have conversations, talk about dreams and daydreams, or get down to the nitty-gritty of making lists and goals to reach (if that's how you want to do things). I value curiosity, exploration and playfulness as important parts of life. I don't believe in "no pain, no gain". I believe in making the most of what we have, and looking at how small tweaks can have the greatest effect. I don't think we necessarily have to suffer to grow--but as one great teacher said, if you know how to suffer, you suffer less! So, part of the work is figuring out where we get in our own way: I think it's important to learn to be kind to yourself--and I know it's something most of us have had drummed out of us--we have to learn and practice the skill of self-compassion! I can help with that.
