Made in His image
Because you are made in His image (Genesis 1:27), you are valuable. The work begins from that, not from what is broken.
About
An introduction to the practice, and to the woman who keeps it.
Clinical Herbalist & Life Coach
Trauma-informed mental health coaching and holistic life coaching for women living with C-PTSD, PTSD, trauma, stress, and anxiety. Whole-person care—body, mind, heart, and story—and, when you welcome it, faith.
I am a clinical herbalist, trained by Phyllis D. Light, MA, RH (AHG), and David Winston, RH (AHG). I have studied integrative health sciences and holistic nutrition through the American College of Healthcare Sciences. I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, a trained AACC Mental Health Advocate, and I hold a Master Diploma in Mental Health Coaching: Trauma-informed Coaching from Light University of the AACC.
I am not a licensed therapist. This practice offers coaching and holistic care that can walk quietly beside the work you may already be doing with a therapist or psychiatrist. If another kind of help would serve you better, I will say so with care and help you find it.
We look after the whole person—rest, nourishment, clinical herbalism, pacing, and the nervous system—so that daily life can grow a little steadier. Faith may be part of our conversation if that feels like home to you. If it does not, we can work without religious language. You do not have to decide that before we begin.
How faith is held
Prayer and Scripture can be included. Faith is not used to rush past pain.
Because you are made in His image (Genesis 1:27), you are valuable. The work begins from that, not from what is broken.
God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Faith looks to Him for healing.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He does not leave you in the pain.
When you pass through the waters, He is with you (Isaiah 43:2). You do not carry it alone.
He was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). He knows what pain is, and He is not far from yours.
His healing is not hurried (Isaiah 30:15). There is room for lament, honest limits, and hope.
