What to Expect

Sessions are primarily conversational and may include guided inquiry, somatic awareness, and simple holistic practices such as breathwork, meditation, aromatherapy, journaling, or ritual when appropriate. Each session concludes with a personalized practice or point of focus to work with between sessions.

How It Differs From Therapy or Coaching

Holistic Guidance is non-clinical and is not intended to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Unlike traditional coaching, it is less focused on goal-setting and accountability and more focused on reflection, self-understanding, and exploring a path forward through a mind, body, and spirit perspective.
