ESSENCE ACTIVATION

1-on-1 and Group Journeys of Aliveness

Years as a trauma therapist have given me a front-row seat to the consequences of smothered aliveness.  A lifetime as an artist has taught me the vast potential of Life Force unrestrained.


Together, these paths have brought me to Essence Activation (EA): a co-creative practice for reclaiming and amplifying aliveness.  EA remixes elements of inner child work, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR with visualization, movement, music, and other forms of self-expression (no special skills are required!).

EA is intended for creators, healers, and changemakers—those hungry to stretch the limits of human consciousness. Previous experience with inner work is recommended.

EA is not a therapy or counseling service.

TESTIMONIALS

EA is fueled by the three nutrients of aliveness:

  • Noticing calls our attention to the present moment.  This nutrient focuses on mindful exchange of what is happening here and now, within and between us.  It invites us to follow the flow of emotions, thoughts, physical sensations, and other Life Forces into the unknown and unexpected.

  • The nutrient of allowing welcomes all parts of us, including our shadows. Emotional, mental, and physical disturbances are greeted as blocked or misdirected Life Force; as portals into wisdom and deeper connection with ourselves and others.  Choosing a relationship with our shadows is essential to free-flowing aliveness.

  • Alchemizing magnifies aliveness through spontaneous self-expression.  Whatever Life Force we notice and allow can be transformed into imagery, rhythm, movement, character voices, and so on.  The playful nature of this nutrient invites us into conscious authorship of the energies that move through us.

Flowing through these nutrients activates our aliveness, our Essence—a state of endless creativity and wisdom that is our birthright.

More feedback from my EA clients!

  • “I felt completely myself, entirely embodied and bathed in my own soul. It was a deeply intimate self experience. And now something I can use as a guidepost when I’m feeling lost or confused to remind me what it feels like to be rooted in my own mythology.”

    Richard | Qigong Practitioner

  • “This experience highlighted how language triggers responses in our bodies, not just when we express ourselves but also when we withhold communication. I realized how these unspoken words can linger within us, settling into the body and shaping our actions and feelings, often in ways we don’t fully recognize. Understanding this brought me closer to aligning with my true essence.”

    Luann | Artist

  • “The way that you bring myth into life is so vital and enlivening. I love how you’ve guided me to weave image and story in an authentic flow that has brought out creativity I didn’t know I had. It has expanded me into a more multi-dimensional version of myself. Your work is fun, magical, and transformative!”

    Brook | Psychospiritual Coach

  • “I'm feeling so much lighter, happier, hopeful… It’s becoming very clear on whose voice is whose, that truly I really do love myself. I do feel great value in myself and those other voices are just influences from the past that I don’t have to take on as if they’re my own voice. Now I’m clear with myself and who I am.”

    Shayna | Conscious Creator

  • “It was a really powerful experience for me. What came up in my session allowed for a big shift in my perspective that I still get to carry with me. It felt like I was really held and witnessed, like I had a friend on the journey with me.”
