(yer.uh.bor.us): re-discovery of self//re.birth||awaken.ing
The Uroboros represents the eternal cycle of death and rebirth, one each of us will face many times throughout our lives. Although at times painful, the opportunity to acknowledge and release our past experiences and expectations with a sense of gratitude creates a renewed space to explore, embrace and ultimately embody the authentic self within.
Uroboros Wellness is an ode to this metaphorical shedding and rebirth and it is this thought that I hope to share with my clients. For just as the snake sheds her skin to reveal a deeper self, we too can find the hope of a new beginning in the end.
Counseling
If you’re tired of the adage “find yourself” but can’t stop wondering who you are, why you act the way you do, and why life feels so impossibly hard sometimes, you’ve come to the right place.
I know, because I’ve been there. The constant doubt and anxiety, living a life that you can’t seem to quite fully relax into. Looking around at those around you as though they know some secret that’s just out of reach. It can feel lonely and scary to wake up one day and realize that no matter how hard you try you just keep making the same choices, falling into the same shitty relationships, feeling that same sense of unease and unhappiness no matter what you do.
I help folks who are tired of searching for the answers alone. The ones that feel a sense of discontent, doubt or uncertainty in their lives and are ready to take a deeper look within. The ones who have the sense that the life they’re living isn’t quite right, but don’t know where to start.
Whether this shows up as doubt and uncertainty or as numbness and avoidance you’re not alone. And as hopeless as this place may feel, it is where the work starts. This is where we begin to uncover the truth that has always been, the one beneath the shame, fear and sadness that has held you back for so long. This is where we meet the real you.
Together we will map out your inner world and explore how your early experiences impact the way you show up today. Utilizing evidence based interventions, human connection, and a dash of humor we will uncover what’s really going on and work towards uncovering the authentic self that’s just beneath the surface, so you can stop questioning and start living.
This is your turning point. Trust the call. Book your discovery call today.
Mental Health in Silviculture
As a planter who consistently attended therapy, I remember how frustrating it could be sometimes to try and explain to an ‘outsider’ what planting was really like. Camp life, isolation, production, competition, relational issues and changes, power dynamics, substance use etc. all have really specific and nuanced aspects that can be challenging for folks outside the industry to understand.
This struggle, alongside my passion for the industry has led to the development of Rooted in Wellness. This program aims to bring awareness to the impacts of mental health on planters safety and productivity both on the block and in camp.
My hope in developing this program is to highlight the shared responsibility and role that companies and workers share in mental health, and to provide an opportunity to develop a healthier, happier and more sustainable workforce.
