Support and Alignment

Work in a casual manner of exchange and discussion. Working with deep listening and principles of Integrated Family Systems (IFS) and Sydney Banks, clients work toward finding their own sense of power and direction. We witness the idea of “thought”—and the power to shape experience—and build our own “tool box” of resources. Ultimately, there is nothing to fix—just lots to know. Other modalities are introduced based on your resonance. One-on-one, couples and families welcome. 

Meetings are scheduled daily (including weekends) 10:00am–6:30pm. Please call to confirm or request openings. 802.793.6006
