JOYFUL JOURNEYING in ANY TERRAIN
Let's turn your valleys into summits.
While the idea is "metaphorically beautiful", we get it. Life's valleys can suck. Yet, they are
mineral rich! Take courage. Believe. Be assured. Stay open. Have joy. And you will summit.
There is purpose in your pain. Strength in your struggle.
"You can't stay on the summit forever.
You have to come down again.
So why bother in the first place? Just this:
One climbs, one sees. One descends, one no longer sees, but has seen.
"There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.”

01
MENTAL HEALTH
Do distressful thoughts and feelings have a grip on you or someone you care for? Sometimes we get stuck. It's normal. But if daily tasks and relationships have become a struggle , exploring the matter early can cutoff additional challenges.
Receive assistance with:
-
Anxiety and Traumatic Stress
-
Depression
-
ADHD – adult & child
-
Relationship issues
02
ADDICTION RECOVERY
There is hope! Many are thriving in their new recovery lifestyle. But they had to get smarter than the problem. Trying to "fix things" with an impaired mind is like boxing a heavy weight - blindfolded. Eek. Creating and living a personalized relapse prevention plan AND addressing underlying issues cultivates hope, healing, and recovery (not just sobriety).

WELLNESS EDUCATION
We are passionate about prevention and that means applied education.

ABOUT
I was on a plane flying to Arizona...
... when I became acquainted with the friendly lady next to me. She shared a struggle she was having with her daughter. I listened. And conversation naturally shifted to another topic...
A moment later, I said to her, "When I was 22 years old, I was put in a position of leadership and felt concerned how my weaknesses were hindering my service to those placed in my care. The solution came weeks later while attending a class. And what I learned that day lit a deep passion in me about human potential and development."
"It helped me see myself, others, and the future in a fresh, accepting, and hopeful way. For the first time in awhile I was able to relax, and feel like I was okay. This perspective shift brought remarkable peace and self acceptance, which gave me footing to get 'unstuck'! Can share with you what I taught?"
She paused and then said, "Ummm....No thanks..."
(She didn't actually say that, but wouldn't have been awesome? Wat wat waaaah!)
"...Sure." she replied, leaning forward, her eyes locked on mine.
With paper and pen, we transformed that airplane cabin into a lab. We explored how the challenge with her daughter fit into the formula that brought me so much peace and power.
At one point, with a smile of hope and relief, she said, "This is great! It's like you are my therapist or something!"
And that's when I knew I needed to change my career path. And I did.
This lady faced the mountain between her and her daughter with openness, honesty, humility, courage, and vulnerability. She inspired me and she was filled with hope.
What About You?
What are your current mountains? You are here because something in your life is off. Being here proves you have the courage it takes break free, reach out, and develop.
Some never make the leap. Many others are now experiencing more peace, confidence, connection and progress then they thought was EVER possible because, like you are doing now, they took ownership.
