Hi, I'm Noe.

I’m a spiritual counselor dedicated to helping you live your best life – one where you feel balanced, resourced and whole.  As the powerful, unique person you are.

Here’s what I know is true –

1.   Whatever you’ve been through, you can heal.

2.   The world needs our healing.  It’s what we came here for.

3.  When invest in healing, things start to change for us. 

A process is begun.  A process with momentum.

I know because I see it each day in my healing practice.

It can be hard, when we’re struggling, to reach out for the help we need.

But the sooner we do it, the sooner we find relief.

There’s a saying – “you’ve got to feel it to heal it.”   It’s true.  The only way out is through.
"There is no place that does not see you. You must change your life."

My Story

At thirty nine years old, I had achieved the seeming impossible.  I had made it through an entire lifetime, (marriage, career, kids), without ever facing my stuff.

My “stuff” included – 

– A major “Me Too” trauma

– Two traumatic, high risk c-sections 

– Medical trauma and exhaustion from my toddler’s six surgeries, all before he turned three years old

(To name a few!)

Lacking adequate tools to process these experiences, I shut them away.

Disconnected from the actual pain I’d experienced, I drowned my needs in overworking.

I drowned them in surrendering to motherhood, always finding ways to put someone else’s needs ahead of my own.

But life works in funny ways, doesn’t it?

Sometimes when we reach out to help another person, we end up helping ourselves.

Canaries in the coal mine, our precious children.

When I finally reached out for help, it wasn’t for me.  It was for one of my children, who had experienced medical trauma as well as a very difficult birth.

Seeking support for him, I first looked for a therapist.  But not finding anyone who resonated, I began to seek alternative sources of support.  As it turned out, the person I resonated the most with was not a therapist, but a practitioner of the spiritual counseling modality of Depth Hypnosis, who came highly recommended by a friend. 

“I don’t think your son needs therapy,” she told me.  “What would help him would be for me to work with you.” 

Me? 

Work with me?  

I could work with someone? 

Meaning…

I was allowed to get help?    

Yes. 

I was allowed to get help. 

And you are too.
"Little by little, as you left their voices behind... there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do -- determined to save the only life that you could save."

So at last, and midlife, I stopped shoving feelings and experiences in the closet.  Instead, I committed to doing my inner work through integrative spiritual counseling.  In doing so, I came to understand the systemic issues that had shaped my psyche, and to unravel the karmic patterns that had bound my life.

Through this work, over time, my trauma was healed.  I overcame the self-doubt and perfectionism that had plagued me.  I started to feel safer in the world – to experience more confidence, ease, and flow.

I learned how to hold the line with my own needs and to lead with love.

For so long, I’d felt at sea.  Now I had landed.

Landed in my body.  Landed in my life.

No more running.  No more hiding. 

As it turned out, carrying around less emotional baggage meant a whole lot more space for me.

And in that space, something new emerged – a clarity that led me to embark on my own journey as a healer. 
"Who looks outside dreams. Who looks inside awakes."
