This journey of \u201creturn to wholeness\u201d, will reveal your inner Goddess while you step into your power and strength.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate how this quote by Marianne Williamson captures the essence of the process I strive to facilitate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From my personal experience and from the many years of working with women, I know that there are times in our lives, where we need help or support to reconnect or rediscover who we really are and want to be in our life.<\/p>\n<p>Each one of us is brilliant, gorgeous and talented in our own unique and wonderful way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/bodymindsould.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-616 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/bodymindsould.jpg\" alt=\"Goddess Revealed: Body Mind and Soul\" width=\"240\" height=\"209\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We can find ourselves asking, \u201cWho am I to be fabulous?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At one point, you were born a beautiful Goddess. You knew what it felt like to love yourself just the way you are. And then life happened. Even being blessed with loving and kind parents; circumstances and events have conspired to instill doubts in knowing that you&#8217;re good enough.<\/p>\n<p>Often we learn that it\u2019s not who you are but what you do that is loved. Somewhere along the line, most of us internalize the notion that we would be loved more, if we were different.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine that every time something causes a shift in your behavior and your perception of self, a little bit of mud gets splattered on you. Not only do you receive these types of messages growing up, society and the media bombard you with communications aimed at changing who you are. You\u2019re told how you should look and what makes you attractive as well as what makes you a good mother and good daughter also adding when you qualify as a \u201cgood wife\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mud.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-729 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mud-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"Goddess Revealed: Get the mud out of yourself\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mud-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mud.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>When enough messages or \u201cmud\u201d cling to you, your Inner Goddess becomes obscured.

We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It\u2019s not just in some of us; it\u2019s in everyone.

It is when we address all the levels of your existence, your mind, your body, your emotions and your spirit that you can connect to your Core Self. The Core Self is the place in you that contains your inner voice, your truth and your authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>When you are connected to your inner wisdom and your true self, you tap into a consistent source of internal support and stability. From this place, you can live your life with a sense of self-worth, expansion and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>For our counselling work together, that means we will not just talk about or analyze a problem you need support with, but we will take a look at how this is affecting all of you.<\/p>\n<p>How are you being affected mentally and emotionally?<\/p>\n<p>Often, clients complain of feeling dissatisfied, empty and hollow even though on the surface their life is \u201cgoing well\u201d. You may have a job, a family, friends, and money, and yet you don\u2019t feel seen or heard and feel more and more disconnected from your Soul.<\/p>\n<p>Working together, we will be able to change your story. You will no longer be a prisoner of old, distorted and limiting ideas you learned about yourself in the past. Instead, you will have the opportunity to build an authentic, coherent interior narrative that reflects who you are today and who you want to become. This empowers you to change how you view and react in the world, especially in relationships.<\/p>\n<p>You will be able to move from living your life the way \u201cyou think you should\u201d so others approve and love you, to living your life connected to what is true and right for you.<\/p>\n<p>Once we know what you are feeling and thinking we can look at<\/p>\n<p>How your problem is manifesting in your body? Your body tells a story with how you breathe, what kind of tension you carry and how you connect with energy.<\/p>\n<p>Current scientific research in the field of psychobiology has shown that feelings from our past are stored in the body and unconsciously impact how we feel and how we behave.<\/p>\n<p>When we are confronted with a stressful situation or your mind thinks thoughts that bring up anxiety, frustration, anger, fear or sadness, your body responds with tension. Tension blocks the flow of energy and prevents you from feeling good. Have you noticed that sometimes you are so used to having a tight area in your body, that it has pretty much become a part of you and how you feel?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you are used to having stiff shoulders and neck when you are stressed. For some, this constant tension actually impacts their posture and how they carry themselves. This is a typical result of tension becoming what is called a \u201cholding pattern.\u201d Holding patterns not only block the energy in your body, they become storage areas for your feelings of grief or anger, anxiety or depression. It\u2019s hard to feel joyful in a body that is stiff, tired and heavy.<\/p>\n<p>In our work together, I will gently guide you to bring awareness to these areas by using breath and the body as a gateway. Because your mind and body are completely interconnected, you will be able to successfully let go of long-standing negative thinking patterns.<\/p>\n<p>This process will allow your body to expand, making space physically and emotionally to connect with your vitality and feelings of joy and well-being. Furthermore, with increased awareness, your self-esteem will grow.<\/p>\n<p>From this place of authenticity and connection to your inner voice, you will be able to become who you really are.<\/p>\n<h3>My Philosophy and Approach<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Research shows that positive change and healing can happen most effectively and fully when we consider the human being as a whole.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/om.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-613\" title=\"om\" src=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/om-300x249.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/om-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goddessrevealed.ca\/tapro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/om.jpg 505w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"249\"><\/a>It is when we address all the levels of your existence, your&nbsp;<a name=\"inside1\"><\/a>mind, your body, your emotions&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;your spirit that you can connect to your Core Self.<\/p>\n<p>The Core Self is the place in you that contains your inner voice, your truth and your authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>When you are connected to your inner wisdom and your true self, you tap into a consistent source of internal support and stability.
