Butterflies have long been symbols of transformation. From egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to flighted insect, the process of metamorphosis is marked by the death and rebirth of form and the constancy of essence. Human life, when it is lived fully, is a similar journey. As we grow from within we shed off old beliefs, labels, and ways of being in the world. We expand heart and mind and, even in the presence of fear, spread our wings and fly. Yet, no matter how different we look on the outside or how far afield we travel –nestled deep within us– the core truth of who we are meant to be never changes. Perhaps this is why the butterfly also represents the soul in many cultures. And, too, there is the nature of service: In just the way that the butterfly serves to pollinate flowers and bring beauty into the world, we are here to be in service of something greater than ourSelves. In some way, this act of service is about changing the world for the better. This change starts from within.

In service of you, and the world to which we all belong....

Transformational Counciling integrates the following approaches. Each session is designed to support the intent of the individual client. Rates: 30 min ($50), 60 min ($95), 90 min ($125). Discounts are available for clients for pay for at least four sessions in advance and who provide referals.

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)
Originally developed in the 1970's, NLP is an ever expanding field of human potential that offers some of the most sophisticated models and effective processes for transforming human consciousness and behavior. NLP enables people to more fully align their actions with their core beliefs and values, and to overcome addictions, traumas, and phobias.

Nature-based Soul Tasks

Immersion in Nature offers us the opportunity to explore our own wild nature, as well as to re-member that we necessarily belong to a more-than-human family. Through practices such as meditative reflection, conversations with wild ones, and ceremony, you will have the opportunity claim your authentic niche - your unique way of being and serving.

Expressive Crafts

The soul - the core Self - communicates through image, sound, feeling, and metaphor. By engaging in poetry, narrative writing, drawing/painting, sculpture, dance, and other expressive crafts, you'll learn to listen for, translate, and speak from the voice of your soul. Your creative and intuitive Self will thrive.

Dream Mirroring
Dreams provide an opportunity to deepen our dialogue with soul. In these sessions, Jamie uses a variety of techniques to help clients learn the language of soul and discover the wisdom held within their dreams.

Additional Services
