Each book I’ve written or contributed to is rooted in one purpose: to help you deepen connection — with yourself, with others, and with what matters most. These stories and reflections invite you into authentic, soul-level presence. May they offer insight, encouragement, and a gentle nudge toward greater alignment, healing, and wholeness.

  • Virginia Satirs Evolving Legacy: Transformative Therapy with a Bodymind Connection

    Alongside other Satir -trained therapists, I share my personal story about how the body is included in family therapy, trauma therapy, perinatal and infant therapy, dance and movement therapy, therapeutic applications of meditation, interactive sculpting and body-mind approaches to personal growth.

    This whole person approach integrates the importance of the therapists' attention to the self of the client and therapist, congruence of actions and words, elements of pacing and observation of nonverbal cues in therapy, while engaging clients as full participants in the highly interactive therapeutic process.
