Brief Description
Hypnosis Narratives over gentle and soothing musical background
History/Biography
In 1974 I began my career of service with the emergency services as a firefighter, a paramedic, and as a communications specialist.
By August of 1990 the accumulated toll of all that I had witnessed in the line of duty inspired me to seek a more proactive approach to health, healing, and wellness. With this intent I undertook a vision quest facilitated by Sedonia Cahill and Barton Stone of the Great Round.
In the desert I experienced a profound connection with the Mystery. It was as though there really is no separation; that the world and I are but a thin veil floating upon the surface of something huge and mysterious - a faint and poignant song cradled in the wind. I brought with me a drum of my own making. It became a central figure on my vision journey. Within three months of my return from the desert I resigned my position as charge paramedic and created the Singing Drum Workshops, teaching drum-making and drumming as a tool in psycho-social-spiritual integration and transformation, in a series of workshops from coast to coast.
In the years since founding the Singing Drum workshops I have continued my emergency services work as an Emergency Medical Communications Specialist (awarded Communications Specialist of the year 1995, by the National Association of Air-Medical Communications Specialists ) and continued my personal exploration of the psyche, spirituality, and the nature of personal transformation. I earned a degree in psychology, completed certification as a hypnotherapist, and broadened the scope of my workshops to incorporate elements of Shamanic trance work.
In addition to my Drum Making and Trance Journey Workshops, I maintain a private practice in hypnotherapy. It is hypnotherapy's unique compatibility with both psychological and spiritual approaches to change that led me to choose it as my primary modality in facilitating positive change.
I also enjoy performing as 2nd tenor with The Pretentions!, an a-cappella quartet.
My philosophy about my work with people:
My life is a mysterious and sacred journey. I know that each person I meet is also on their own specific, intimate and sacred journey. It is my intent to be fully present with each person in a manner that is deeply respectful of their own distinctive life journey. I bring to this work, not only my education, but the fullness of my life experience, both triumphs and failures (which have often been more informative than when I "got it right").
A couple of my favorite quotes:
"If you step out into the void, your feet will either find something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly." (Source unknown)
"Whatever you do, it will probably be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." (Mohandas Ghandi)
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science." (Albert Einstein) |
