EFT for PTSD
A treatment for PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) that uses no drugs, has no side effects, and really works―does that sound too good to be true?

You Get What You (Think You) Deserve
In my therapy practice in Bryn Mawr, I often help clients resolve issues they have been dealing with for years. The issue may present in different forms, but at its core, it is the same thing, again and again. You get what you (think you) deserve.
Intractable issues?
Typically these intractable issues come in the areas of finance, relationship problems, or weight and other health issues. Even…
Is tapping really necessary? Here’s the deal with EFT tapping.
I have used EFT and other meridian tapping therapies both for myself and with many clients in my therapy practice in Bryn Mawr.

In addition to my work as a therapist and healer, I am a yoga teacher --and I love it. Being a part of the yoga community is rewarding, being a teacher is an honor. Finding the right time-slot for a class is both art and science, as we try to figure out when people can, and want to, come to class. Two weeks ago I spoke with the owner of the studio where I teach, and we decided to start my class…
The Chakras: Foundations of Health
You know you are more than your body, that you are an energy being, timeless and expansive. How does that energy become the "we" that we see? Part of the explanation comes from an understanding of the energy body.
