A life truly lived constantly burns away veils of illusion, burns away what is no longer relevant, gradually reveals our essence, until, at last, we are strong enough to stand in our naked truth.
Marion Woodman
"Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life — is the source from which self-respect springs".

I aspire to . . .
Locate and truly see you where you are . . .
and support your visions and process of discovering where you want to go.
​
Hear you . . .
as you reclaim and redefine the story of your life
in the uniqueness of your own voice.
​
Shine light upon . .
the hidden gold beneath the surface of awareness
so that you might mine aspects of yourself
not yet explored and honored.
​
Support you . . .
as you venture into territory which feels tender
and vulnerable so that you might know and appreciate, embody and express yourself
more fully and authentically.
The person who has a why can live with any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche
