HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE

The holistic perspective I work with is  derived from the Hermetic tradition which holds the idea that spirit comes through the soul to manifest on Earth.  The individual soul is tender, thrust into the world as a consequence of two people coming together, with the aim of developing into a full-fledged human over time. The daily challenge of processing experience is the magic that makes development possible.  The body, soul, and spirit comprise the dynamic foundation for wellness.  

 I have been exploring psychospiritual development since 1968.  I hold Astrology certifications from NCGR (Lv. 4), ISAR (CAP), and the Church of Light (Teacher of Hermetics).  I have a steady practice of professional development in the field, and branch out into complementary areas related to holistic health, such as energy work, movement, archetypal studies, body-oriented psychotherapy, relationship studies, and the metaphorical dimensions found in art and literature.  I have completed two specific alternative programs, one focused on Spiritual Development Mentorship (ARE/Atlantic University), and the other, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy (The Embody Lab).   I also hold traditional academic degrees in Psychology, Writing, and Interdisciplinary Studies, with a concentration on Counseling Psychology and Adult Development. I do not focus on one particular perspective or lineage,  as there are many valuable techniques and approaches that augment and deepen my astrological research and practice.
