Touching Into Presence Podcast Interview

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed on the Touching Into Presence podcast by my good friend and fellow practitioner Andrew Rosenstock. In our chat we discussed my career journey, the concept of Mind-Body Coaching, and the complexities of working with clients. We also explored the principles and practices of Hakomi, the importance of mindfulness, and the value of humor in therapy. Lastly, we discussed the challenges and rewards of our roles and the significance of bringing emotional connection into business. Have a listen!

We “learn” to be in chronic pain. And if we can learn to be in chronic pain, we can also unlearn it. Read on to learn more.

Building Blocks of Happiness

Last year I found my keys to an amazing year of productivity, energy, and ease, centered around the notion that people who are happy and feel good tend to perform at their best.

Gratitude, Exercise, Mindfulness, and Sleep.
