These are the questions I am asked most often. If yours is not here, please write to me. I would rather answer it properly than have you guess.
No, and I am glad to say so plainly. I am an Integrative Trauma Healing Practitioner. I am not a talk therapist and my work is not endless weekly sessions. Many of my clients love their therapists, and some of my clients are therapists themselves. What I offer is different: root-cause work with a beginning and an end.
About three to six months. The work has a destination, and I will tell you honestly when you have arrived. I do not work with anybody long term.
You will have homework, and I will hold you accountable to it, gently and honestly, because that is where the healing compounds. You also receive an audio recording of each session to listen back to between our times together.
I have been doing this work for twenty-five years. I became a certified yoga teacher in 2001, and my certifications include trauma-informed Yoga Therapist, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Yoga Nidra Therapist, Trauma-Informed EFT Practitioner, Reiki Energy Healing Master, and Dolores Cannon Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique practitioner. I founded Yoga Home of Therapeutics in 2009, taught yoga therapy at the Oklahoma City VA Hospital for over six years, and I currently work as a Yoga Therapist at Oakwood Springs Behavioral Health Hospital, a psychiatric hospital, where I use these same methods.
Yes, and many people do. Physicians and therapists refer people to me, and I work as a Yoga Therapist inside a psychiatric hospital, Oakwood Springs, using these same methods. I am not a replacement for the care you are already in, and I will never ask you to choose. What I do sits underneath talk: the body and the nervous system, which is often the part that has not been reached yet.
It is yoga used as therapy rather than exercise, shaped around what your nervous system can actually take on a given day. It reconnects the body and the nervous system so they can release what the mind alone cannot reach. Nothing is pushed, and you never have to explain everything before we begin.
EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a gentle tapping practice on specific points of the body while you bring a difficult feeling to mind. It calms the nervous system and softens the emotional charge that is being held in the body. I am certified in trauma-informed EFT, which means we work at a pace that keeps you resourced rather than overwhelmed.
Yoga Nidra is a guided practice that takes you into the state between waking and sleeping, where your body can reach a level of restoration ordinary sleep cannot. You lie down and are guided. There is nothing to get right. It is one of the most effective practices I know for a body that has been holding on for a long time.
QHHT is the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique developed by Dolores Cannon, and I am a certified practitioner. It is a single deep session of about four hours in which we reach the root causes beneath what you are carrying. You receive recordings afterwards so the work continues with you.
Reiki is gentle energy work that restores balance and ease where stress and tension have quietly settled in. I am a Reiki Master in the Usui and Holy Fire III lineage, and yes, I teach and certify: Reiki I and II are taught together as an immersive two-day experience, and there is a three-day Reiki Master class for practitioners ready to go further.
Yes. I see private clients online by Zoom, phone, FaceTime or WhatsApp, and I run my live yoga therapy classes online three mornings a week. I am based in Oklahoma City and also work in person with clients in the metro, including Edmond.
My private work is with women, most often women who have already tried a great deal. Many have been in therapy for years, understand their patterns well, and still wake up anxious. Others come through a rupture: divorce, grief, caregiving, burnout. Others come because the body is speaking first, through insomnia, chronic anxiety, autoimmune imbalance or illness. You are not starting over, and you are not broken. You have adapted. My classes, workshops and Reiki certification training are open to everyone.
With the free 5-Day Nervous System Reset. Five days, a few minutes each morning, and it costs nothing. It is where almost everyone begins with me, and it will tell you more about whether we are a fit than any amount of reading.
Yes. Before we begin private work together there is a consent and intake form to complete. It takes a few minutes, you can save it and come back to it, and it is on the client paperwork page linked in the footer of every page here.
The free 5-Day Nervous System Reset will tell you more than any amount of reading. Five days, a few minutes each morning, and it costs nothing.
Before any private work, most women start here. One sits on your kitchen counter, one is free, and both open the door to the deeper healing we can do together.
Food is part of this work. Simple recipes and daily rituals, grounding meals, snacks and drinks, with a short note under each one on how it supports calm, energy, digestion or regulation.
