Shadow Work is an esoteric name for the awareness of the darker side of ourselves through introspection and radical acceptance. Through the cultivation of this awareness, we shine a light on our shadows for the potential opportunity to heal and grow. These shadows come in the form of thoughts, emotions, personality traits, life patterns, habits, and traumas. Knowing the source of these shadows helps us see and accept our whole self without judgment or shame. In shadow work, the focus is on the awareness of this internal wisdom, not the outcome of the process. We get to choose what, if anything, we do with the knowledge gleaned from our deep introspection and expression of that information. We get to choose what happens next, whether that involves action or not. In shadow work, we use a variety of strategies and practices that enable us to tap into our natural talent for curiosity and exploration while creating sacred space to safely explore our shadows and draw them to the surface of our consciousness without attachment or expectations.

In my shadow work consultations, I employ a variety of techniques to create a personalized program for you based on your intentions and what shadows reveal themselves at the time. These tools include yoga, meditation, the chakras, astrology, somatic releasing, tarot readings, and art therapy. Sessions may be focused on a specific intention or more open-ended based on your needs.
