"Tell me, what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver, The Summer Day
Spiritual Counseling
Connecting you back to you is the intention of spiritual counseling.
It is giving permission for your soul to speak.
It is a path to rediscovering who you truly are.
It is an exploration into what is meaningful, inspiring and heartfelt to you.
It is the freedom to live in ways that feel good and right, and let go of the rest.
It is understanding how Self-Love enhances all of your relationships.
It is sacred and deep. It is real and honest.
It is beautiful and light. It is joy and peace.
It is Love.
"To thine own Self be true."
- William Shakespeare

How We Work Together
I see your spiritual journey as special and unique to you, so my approach is designed solely for you to discover what is meaningful and expansive for you.
I will offer tools and practices which are designed to support you in developing a deep and real conversation with yourself, your soul. I am a sounding board to help guide you to the Divine wisdom within.
We will consider questions like:
-
Who Am I?
-
What's my purpose?
-
What is a meaningful life? A Joyful life?
-
What is Self- Love? And what does a loving relationship with Self and others look like for me?
-
What do true Peace and Joy feel like?
The tools and practices I offer are intended for you to use in your daily life to gain access to the love and wisdom that exists within you. These tools are designed to support you in knowing yourself well and being willing to listen and follow your inner voice.
I use an integrated approach blending psychology and spiritual concepts from Christianity, Buddhism, Mystiscm and others. My background in counseling, yoga therapy, energetic bodywork and mindfulness allows me to offer a variety of intergrated tools so that each session is tailored to what you need at that moment.
What to Expect in a Session
Each 60 minute session can be tailored to fit your needs and designed with the following in mind:
-
Spiritual sharing to discuss questions like: Who am I, what's my purpose, what is a meaningful life, what is Self-Love to me?
-
Meditation to clear mind, center and access inner knowing.
-
Energy work to uplift and raise your vibration.
-
Grounding work to stabalize and stengthen.
-
Visualization and journaling to support Self-inquiry and focus.
About Emily
Emily's work in spirituality began in 2011 when she founded Beyoga, a practice which integrated her experience as a therapist with the various spritual teachings of yoga.
Since then, her work in self transformation has directed her energies to spiritual counseling with a focus on deep listening to the wisdom that lies within each of us and an understanding of true Self-Love.
Emily believes that within each of us is a Divine knowing and as we gain trust in ourselves, we can access that knowing. It is in the trust that Self-Love is realized. She believes that connecting back to ourselves is the key to living our truest, most authentic and beautiful life.
Her passion is to help clients reconnect to themselves and learn the spiritual practices and teachings that invite them into a deep, soulful conversation to access the wisdom and love within.
Emily is a spiritual seeker who learned how to connect to
her own deep wisdom and to love herself fully.
She wants to share how truly healing and freeing it is.
She finds joy and meaning in her own life by being curious, open and grateful
to how love shows up in her life.
