January 2015 Happenings for Healing Hypnotherapy!
New HypnoBirthing® Classes starting January 13th at EvergreenHealth. Pass this on to your pregnant friends and family in the area! A quote from one of my recent new moms: “Thanks so much for teaching Travis and me the tools for a very normal birth. Your class helped loads with my anxiety about my pregnancy and my birth experience was the PERFECT ending to a very emotionally difficult 9 1/2 months. We are all so happy and healthy and our son has adjusted beautifully to life outside the womb. Thank you again for everything. Honestly, I…
Create, Design and Evolve

I’ve been in “Summertime mode!”
I’ve been quiet for awhile. The reason: it’s summertime! As I noted in my last ezine, summertime is the time to play, restore, rest and be present to the wonders of Nature and life in general.

It provided the best foundation for learning, instead of trying to “do it all” which would have stressed out and overloaded…

Exciting News!
Ah…I love this time in the Northwest. Spring is showing off her lovely colors and blossoms. The greens are brilliant and it seems there is color everywhere. I also love how it keeps changing almost daily as Mother Nature births the fruits of her winter labor. Wherever you are, I hope you are seeing and experiencing Mother Nature’s beauty, too. I hope her creations are inspiring you to be present to what she offers and what you, too can create when you focus on what lights you up and engages you. As Spring is certainly…
Taxed by taxes?
Simply saying the word “taxes” sends many normally calm people into a downward spiral of negative thoughts and upset feelings. Start talking about April 15th, the deadline (usually) for filing those dreaded tax returns here in the US, and now the tension really starts creeping up, looming over like some dark clouds ready to burst. Deadlines tend to add more pressure, which adds more stress and angst for most people. Are you one of those people? Are you feeling the tax deadline pressure? Are you overwhelmed by all the tax season details? Although, this is…
