What does soul conversations mean?
Soul conversations means discovering what nourishes you by learning the art of soul communication, that is, becoming aware of your soul, learning to listen and understand the unique language of your soul, and once hearing these messages taking action to be responsive. By learning to listen to and understand the unique language of your soul, you can discover and cultivate deep knowing.
Soul conversations help you explore who you are as well as who you are becoming. It is also about your relationships with others and the greater world. In my world of soul there is both a personal soul and a universal soul that speaks to me.
Soul speaks to me in words, images, symbols, dreams, feelings, sensations, sounds, sights, gazes, tastes and acts of touch. My soul, like your soul, may also finds itself in song, dance, story, home, nature and play. Everyone's soul has its own unique qualities and ways of expressing its truth.
Who will benefit and why do this?
Whether you are feeling separation from your soul, or want to deepen or expand your connection, these practices can support you to deepen that part of you.
Most of us have felt or experienced “soul-nudges” in our life. Some of these ‘soul nudges” or messages are subtle and others are not. Some messages follow a life-threatening situation, personal crisis, or dramatic life situation that calls you to grow and stretch in new ways. These types of life events can call you to reprioritize your life or change your lifestyle. Whatever form they choose it is a call to become aware. Life changes can activate and expand the need to incorporate practices that can support you on your life journey.
What follows are some life events and transitions that I can support you with:
- leaving a job or career or retirement
- milestone birthday
- moving from your home
- loss of a child, friend or loved one
- separation and divorce
- sense of loss within yourself
- losing yourself to others
- life-threatening illness
These practices can also support you in creating balance with these important areas of daily living:
- personal growth
- personal vision and meaning
- creative expression and career
- spiritual growth
- spatial/physical harmony
- health and fitness
- family and friends
- romance and relationships
- abundance and prosperity
- play and recreation
What will you need to consider before you begin?
To begin you will need to have a willingness to learn about yourself, that is to say, hearing and acting on your truth; deeply tuning into your feelings and being willing to unfold what is underneath and stretch your edges. This means being willing to accept any shifts of new perspectives or growth periods that can result in reshaping your worldview and lifestyle. It is about stepping out of one’s comfort zone and being compassionate with oneself and what is evolving within you.

Soul Walks
"Soul Walks exercise your spirit and soul and allow you to step into your rhythm, pace and choice of living"
Soul walking is about moving in new ways and finding the “stride” in your soul. The soul needs a variety of places where it can retreat, disappear from life or stretch its legs. Walking in nature is just one of those places. Walking improves mood, mental clarity, immune function and energy distribution. Walking supports fitness and stamina. In these walks I utilize the natural healing energies of nature and incorporate breath work, rhythm and pace, and meditation to tap into your soul. These walks can be tailored for any age and ability and I have developed a number of themes to bring intention to our walking if you choose. Walks are usually one hour in length and I accompany you on these walks.
Soul walking was born out of my passion for nature and strong belief that nature heals. As a native California I relish the beauty of California and the Bay Area that is home to me. Mother nature is beckoning each of us to listen with an opens mind, heart and soul and invites us to experience her gifts of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Whether we hike, walk or stroll along costal dunes or enchanted forests, setting your rhythm, pace and style are important features of soul walking and can mirror the way you choose to walk in life.

Meditation Practices
"What the present moment brings you is a form of meditation in action, so cherish it deeply. Just imagine the stillness within."
The Meditation practices I provide tap into one’s energy systems including the aura, chakras, and energy channels. You will learn to ground to the earth, center, reclaim your energy and open space for new growth. You will learn breathing techniques to awaken and recharge body, mind and soul and techniques to relax and release tension in your muscles.
Grounding and running energy lets you let go of the past, yesterday, or whatever was going on five minutes ago, the people, places and projects that fill your head. Grounding unblocks energies and opens the energy channels to allow change and growth in your life.
Centering allows you to resonate with your authentic being, to sit in the mind or heart and enter the silence, to learn to see clearly in the present and to recognize the automatic, habitual patterns and reactions to people and situations that may or may not be yours. There will always be distractions in your life. Many of the voices in our heads are not who we are, rather they are layered on to our essence and we continue to give them power. These voices include parents, society, education, government and religion. You will learn to release these voices and find your voice.
Reclaiming your space is the result of a regular practice of grounding and centering and now allows you to choose how to use the space within that is now available. This is about not waiting to do those annual spring cleaning projects, but cleaning out a bit every day in your meditation practice.
After developing these techniques you will learn ways to fill the space that is now open, and have the opportunity to find your authentic self bringing personal power into your life. Personal power to me means living with awareness moment to moment, fully experiencing living and creating purposes in your life that are clear, creative and satisfying. This way the Universe and others can hear you and have the opportunity to be responsive.
Touch Healing
"Touch healing is to recognize that the body yearns to expand its awareness of itself and seeks to be in touch with its spiritual/soul essence."
This form of light hand touch healing is with a trained intuitive who facilitates your communication with your body's natural flow of energy and its spirit/soul essence. It is a form of energetic bodywork that recognizes the importance of balancing and integrating one’s life force energy with one’s spiritual/soul body for the purpose of deepening awareness, bringing about well-being and balancing body, mind and spirit.
Light hand touch can restore the system of energy flow in and around the body through its energy channels, networks and centers. Touch healing can enhance healing, detoxifies, energizes and helps unblock and re-connect the pathways to restore energy balance and wholeness.
Your communication with your body’s natural flow of energy and its spirit/soul essence can be out of balance or disconnected because of physical injury, emotional trauma, stress, illness, and/or negatives experiences. Thoughts and thought patterns, emotions and concepts can influence health and the body’s ability to heal itself.
Light hand touch is used in a positive and safe environment with clothes on and can support, strengthen and affirm your body’s ability to recognize and release energies that may interfere or block energy flow. You can develop a heightened level of trust and intimacy with your body and it’s ability to communicate with you.
Another technique to stay in touch with oneself is learning about the subtle energy fields that surrounds your body, the aura. You will learn about aura awareness, aura scanning, aura clearing and ways to maintain a healthy aura.
Space Blessings/Blessing Space
"Space is within you, all around you and surrounds you..."
Space blessings/Blessing Space is about recognizing and creating sacred or holy space both within and outside yourself. Some call this cultivating sanctuary. Whether it is the home of your soul you bless within you or the space of soul you bless outside yourself, honoring and blessings of this kind nourish your soul, for space has the power to hold and reflect your soul’s intentions. For this reason, it is important that we connect with our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, communities, and the larger world around us.
Energy patterns and thoughts are held in all physical spaces, places, homes, businesses, acreage/land and public spaces. People who have lived on the land before or formerly lived in a home may leave imprints, impressions, psychic echoes or energy residues.
An argument, a death, or a trauma may leave a residual in a room. Objects such as furniture and both new and used clothing hold energies. Earthbound spirits may still return to places that brought them comfort. Space blessings open and clear space to renew peace and harmony.
Space blessing may be used before building a new home, to refresh or shift the energy or balance of your existing home, to promote the sale of your home and/ or prepare it for new occupancy. Likewise, space blessings can be used for new business ventures, resetting the energy for an existing business or sale of a business.
Space blessings include practices, rituals and techniques for identifying and clearing unwanted energies, restoring balance, and creating harmony and integration to your space. Usually there are three steps in the process: naming your intention, assessing and clearing unwanted energies, then calling in and blessing wanted energies.
Space blessings are also used to celebrate an event such as a birth, a passage, a graduation, a marriage, or a family gathering. Preparation of the space as described above takes place together with setting forth affirmations. By using intentional words and healing thoughts, the primary energy and vibrations from within us calling forth fulfillment, healing and happiness.
