Journey with me
The quality I bring..
My approach to essence companionship has been shaped by my own slow unfolding - years of listening to my body's wisdom, learning to trust receptivity alongside creativity, and discovering essence qualities not through achievement but through patient recognition.
I don't offer quick fixes or formulas. I don't have a program to move you through or steps to enlightenment — though something like that may unfold. What I offer is presence, deep listening, and the capacity to companion you as you discover essence qualities in your own experience — through your senses, through your body, through the particular texture of your awareness.
This work asks for patience. It honors complexity and paradox. It trusts the slow unfolding. It's both light work — cultivating essence qualities that help meet the tender parts — and receptive work, allowing what wants to emerge rather than forcing outcomes. If you're drawn to this way - to essence knowing itself through subtle recognition - then we might be a good fit.
My Ongoing Inquiry
I don't teach from a place of arrival. I companion from a place of ongoing discovery..
My own practice includes daily meadowtations — walking in the valley, noticing essence qualities through my body, the land, the light, the seasons, and in the way I meet these. Gardening, as a way of tending soul through tending soil. An ongoing dialogue with my Inner Mentor. Creative expression — cooking, art, dancing, making things in the workshop. Writing a memoir about my journey of coming to my essences. Embodied inquiry, listening to my body and honouring my nervous system. And contemplative study — being part of wisdom groups, engaging with developmental frameworks and the perennial philosophy.
This isn't separate from the work I offer — it is the work.
What This Work Is (And Isn't)
This isn't primarily about getting a better life, manifesting desires, or solving problems - though clarity, breakthroughs, and life changes often arise naturally.
It's about essence recognizing its own flavors — spaciousness, clarity, aliveness, wholeness. And the joy of that recognition. Coming into coherence, and living from there.
When essence knows itself more fully, everything shifts - but the shift is a byproduct of recognition, not the goal.
This Work Is For You If..
You're drawn to slow, embodied unfolding rather than quick transformation. If you sense that what you're seeking is already here, waiting to be recognized. If you value relational companionship over expert advice. If you're curious about essence qualities — spaciousness, clarity, aliveness — as lived experience rather than concept. And if you're comfortable with the work being subtle, mysterious, and unfolding in its own time.
Ways to Work Together
Essence-way Taster Session
A taste of this work
A single session to experience essence quality recognition directly - whether you're exploring this work for the first time or you're a practitioner wanting to taste it in your own system before guiding others.
Perfect for: Getting a feel for the work, exploring a specific question, discerning if companionship is right for you.
Individual Companionship
Extended journeying for those navigating transformation
I journey alongside you as you discover, and live from, your unique essence qualities. Over time, this becomes less about searching and more about recognizing what's already here — and letting your life come into coherence with that.
Practitioner Companionship
For therapists, coaches, spiritual directors and teachers
What if you could invite your clients to recognize specific flavors of their essence—like spaciousness, clarity, aliveness—with precision and poetry in the work you already do?
This companionship helps you come into more coherence with Essence in your own life, and to then offer essence quality recognition as a living thread woven through your existing work..
In person Creative retreats
Two-day creative retreats for women
Held in the relaxed and spacious setting of Peacemakers retreat center, these retreats are designed for you to explore your creativity at your own pace. Facilitated by myself, Shannon and Rose. A different container for essence exploration through art, writing, nature, and community.
A Note on My Capacity
I hold a maximum of 5 companionships at any time (individual and practitioner combined) to ensure each person receives the depth of attention this work asks for. If you're feeling called to this work, I encourage you to reach out - spaces are limited and I work with people as capacity allows.
The essence-way isn't for everyone. But if it speaks to you - if you feel that quiet recognition of "yes, this" - then I'd be honored to walk alongside you for a while.
