"We are recovery coaches and spiritual counselors who offer a holistic perspective of recovery that is loosely based on a modified 12-Step approach. Very simply, we offer information to recondition the mind that reinforces a positive, healthy thought process. We educate people about the mind-body connection and give them tools and techniques to increase awareness so that they are empowered to unravel the emotional cause of their dependency and begin living a new way of life."

What We Offer

We help people address and unravel core questions and the underlying causes of whatever issues they currently face. Our clients are typically people who want to go beyond the surface and who are starting to ask important and sometimes urgent questions about the way they think, feel and interact with others at work, at home and in society. Given the current economic environment, many people are looking for new ways of understanding old challenges. We have a strong background dealing with issues of work-related behaviors and we are increasingly finding that the practice of meditation has a great deal to offer in getting people's emotional compass realigned so they can begin to move forward again in a healthy direction.

For staff, we offer instruction in meditation techniques with 30-minute practice sessions once or twice a week. These sessions are specifically tailored to help reduce stress when dealing with clients. When staff members are more relaxed, their productivity rises and their overall effectiveness increases to create a healthy workplace and stronger sense of well-being in the workplace.

We are always happy to talk informally with anyone who might be interested in finding out how our collection of skills and backgrounds can be helpful to them.

Meditation is utilized by every culture on earth to relax the body, bring peace to the emotions, and expand spiritual knowledge. The mind-body connection has nothing to do with religion. It is a means of aligning the physical with mental, emotional and spiritual nature of mankind. Modern healthcare is now integrating meditation into clinical practices as a method of stress reduction and to improve the quality of life (full article).

For clients, we provide basic instruction in what meditation is, how it works and how they can personally apply it to gain more manageability in their lives. We teach them how to meditate and show them how they can begin to control their thought process to start experiencing more benefits that lead to living happier, healthier lives.

Frequency

Twice a week for staff (30 minutes); and from two to three times a week (in morning) for clients for 45 minutes that includes 25 minutes of instruction and 20 minutes of practicing various techniques of guided meditations, etc.
