Hi, I'm Noe.

A spiritual counselor and circle keeper 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. 

How do I know?

I know because I’ve seen it.  

I’ve seen it in people I’ve served.  I’ve seen it in family and friends.  And I’ve seen it in myself.

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

But the truth is this – the sooner we do it, the sooner we find relief.

If there’s one thing life has taught me, it’s this.  When it comes to inner work, the only way out is through.

Wanna talk about resistance?  Boy, do I know resistance. 

To hear my story, read on.

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 did my best to ignore them.

I drowned my needs in overworking.

I drowned them in motherhood.

No matter what I was going through, it always felt like someone else’s emotional needs were more pressing than 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, it was to seek therapy for my son.  He was three, and I was at my wits end. 

I worked hard each day to be the best mother I could be to him, and each night went to bed feeling defeated.  I was starting to feel like his needs were beyond my capacity to meet.

Seeking support for him, I reached out to a practitioner of Depth Hypnosis, a therapeutic healing modality that 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."

 

– MARY OLIVER

Deep transformation becomes possible when we open ourselves up to be vulnerable.  When we tenderly meet our areas of wounding, and hold them in the light of love.  

So I set out, finally, to invest in my path of inner work. 

Depth Hypnosis provided the container.  This modality held me where I needed to be held, and gently pushed me where I needed to be challenged. 

My sessions and later trainings were so helpful, in fact, that in time, the work that I had resisted became a refuge. 

And with this work, things finally began to shift for me.

I started to feel safer in the world – to experience greater confidence, ease, and flow.

I became more resourced, even when parenting was tough.

My self-awareness matured, as did my capacity to maintain relationships.  New friendships blossomed as a result.

Most importantly, I started learning how to hold the line with regards to my own needs.

For so long, I’d felt at sea.  Now I felt like 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. 
"In order to transcend the self, you first need to heal the self."

 

– ISA GUCCIARDI, founder of Depth Hypnosis

Today, as a Depth Hypnosis based Spiritual Counselor I now carry those same powerful tools.  The ones that helped me.  Tools that can help you make real, deep, and lasting change in your life.

To do this work, I draw on seven years of training with Dr. Isa Gucciardi PhD, including studies in Buddhist psychology, Applied Shamanic Practice, hypnotism, and energy medicine.

In 2009, I earned my Masters of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School.  I completed my undergraduate studies at Hunter College in NYC, graduating summa cum laude in a self designed program focused around spiritual dimensions of healing.

As a seeker, my studies have included archetypal psychology, comparative religion, eco-psychology, and the healing power of story.

I draw on ten years of experience as a mother and circle keeper, and a lifetime of experience as a musician and performing artist.

(One thing you should know about me is that I love to learn!)

Which brings us to you

You might be struggling with a personal issue, a life transition or a difficult relationship.  Or maybe you feel called to try something new on your healing path.

Whatever you’re carrying right now, I’d love to help.

I mean that sincerely, regardless of whether you feel called to book a session or join me for a gathering.

In the coming months, I’ll be building up this website with some of my best resources – healing stories, insights and tools to help you live the life you want.

I’m glad we’re in touch and I look forward to the journey!

With care,

Noe Venable
