Congratulations to the New Graduate of the Holistic Healing Program!
Congratulations to Jill Tessman, MSW, LICSW, who completed my 2 Year Holistic Healing Certificate Program on a beautiful spring day today!

She learned about many topics for self care and how to guide and provide care to those she serves. The topics are based on the approaches I use most often with my clients that have statistically significant research behind them. She has already been applying what she has learned in her life and already benefitting from it with more sense of calm and peace.…

Occupational Therapists Complete The Power of the Mind in Healing Class
I just finished up teaching the “Power of the Mind in Healing” class. We met for four Saturdays in February. I had the pleasure of teaching two occupational therapists who have been practicing for nearly 20 years. In fact, they were in the graduating class right after me at St. Kate’s. We covered topics on the foundations of Holistic/Integrative Health Care, the Mind-Body-Spirit, meditation, relaxation, spirituality, and intuition. They loved it!

Intuitive Psychology ~ Accessing Inner Wisdom for Guidance, Direction & Mental Health
One of my favorite ways of helping people and for my own self care is to access Intuition or inner wisdom. There are various ways for you to connect with your Intuition. In fact many of us may do this many times throughout our day and not realize it. You may wonder when you are intuiting, how to access it, trust it, and count on it. Intuition can be accessed when the mind is calmer, more reflective, and detached from every day thoughts and emotions. This is why meditation is the preferred method of choice that has been around for thousands of years cross-culturally – it quiets the mind. When…
