Body and psyche – variously understood as mind, soul, or spirit – form a whole.
You cannot affect the one without influencing the other. They speak through each other.

PSYCHE
Support and guidance for developing awareness around the mental and emotional dimensions that influence your relationship to food, and body.
Discover the direct relationship between your psyche, meaning soul, or mind and your body. Consciously reclaim and integrate what has been denied, or rejected and manifests as symptoms.
Recover what is authentically true for you, and learn to express it directly instead of symptomatically.

Receive tools and support for tending the psyche as a source of authentic meaning, and spiritual sustenance essential to positive transformation, and healing.
Symptoms are chalices of potential wisdom. In health coaching from a depth psychological perspective, we don’t label them as “bad,” and rush to fix them. Instead we honour them through listening, and conscious engagement.
