LOVE: Photography by Katie Hebert www.katiehebert.com Consider how you can look within to cultivate the experience of love. How can you experience love as infinitely accessible and available to YOU? What makes it possible for you to experience love that originates from within your being? The answer is truth. When you feel authentic love it overwhelms you, it fills your being, it creates [...]
Remember how your perspective affects how you feel, make decisions … and live life. Case in point. From your perspective, is this picture of daytime or nighttime? Remember that you see the world through your eyes. Your reflection of the world and even those you come into contact with is muted by your assumption that others see and think in similar ways to you. We all [...]
It’s a novel way of embracing the ‘new’ in your life – letting go of what no longer serves you… Being willing to surrender and release is a powerful way to consider how you will celebrate this new year and (if you choose it) how you will live the entire month of January. Surrender and release [...]
I think about the fact that we are both perfect and at the same time, evolving…a work in progress. This notion is prevalent in Yoga practice: in the idea of Sankalpa which encourages us to be, enjoying our perfection and our beautiful nature as unique beings – while at the same time, considering what our true [...]
December is a beautiful month for many reasons. One of which is to embrace the notion of BALANCE. You see, while the focus for some may be on shopping, overindulging, lack of self-care….the real beauty of December is in the balance. This year, why not embrace the magic and beauty of this month…and of [...]
Reflections of November Nature always fascinates me. The incredible LIFE that is always present all around us: animals, plants, the sky, water – all of it moving, growing, evolving even if we don’t bother to pay attention. Nature is perfect in it’s ability to communicate with us. All we need to do is stop and [...]
Intention is everything. You can say that you want to do something, to try and change something, to begin something…but what do your intentions really say? Your intentions describe your actions … you are intending what you want through those actions (or at time lack thereof). Your intentions drive your actions and behavior. When your [...]
I understand that it can be hard to face our ‘truth’. The idea of therapy is that we have someone (hopefully that we can trust and feel safe with) to help us see a different perspective of our self: our thoughts, perceptions, attitudes & behaviors…..our truth. Until we become skilled at seeing ourselves more clearly…seeing [...]

Alas…here we are…in the eleventh month of this year! Do we look forward or reflect back on how we’ve done so far? I’m going to suggest backward first….take a moment and consider what inner growth you have made this year? Are you able to see the results of some hard work….showing kindness, patience, practicing altruism? [...]
We aren’t always ready for change. And we certainly aren’t always ready or willing to make changes to who we are. I recognize that not everyone is looking to change themselves. Many people live out much of their life without even contemplating that they need to change any of who they are. And yet, there [...]
I work with clients who are making profound changes to their lives. Sometimes those encompass or are even specific to weight loss, body image goals. I was speaking by phone with a client yesterday (and yes how wonderful it is to be able to work with clients by telephone when they live far away or [...]
We all see what we want to see. The ‘veil of truth’ is what we would like to think is true. For all of the times we have told ourselves something in the hopes of it satisfying a particular need, validating a wrongful behaviour, or deciding that we are justified in feeling a certain way and [...]

As much as someone may want assistance, guidance, insight, help… they can only receive such assistance if they are willing to look at their self. Sometimes, clients come to a therapy session not because they are truly ready to make any lasting changes. They may want a third person’s point of view, they may want [...]
