Reconnect. Release. Renew Nurture the Child Within.

A large focus of my practice is Inner Child Healing. This happens in individual sessions, Inner Child Healing Groups, Intensives, Workshops and Retreats.

The wounded Inner Child inside of us is real. They are waiting for the love, attention, and the proper care they didn’t receive in childhood. We can give them this reparative care and healing they need. Once this happens, the energy of the Inner Child can integrate and become part of the adult self. Then, we can reclaim our natural qualities: joy, curiosity, pleasure-seeking, sensorial wonder, connection, emotional expression, clear communication and boundaries, quiet-seeking, playfulness, silliness, ability to enjoy being alone, and all of the qualities in the child we weren’t able to fully access.

I have started a YouTube channel where you can learn more about healing your Inner Child. It is called: For Your Inner Child. There is currently one introductory video and a recently added video for the Inner Child. Check it out!

Phone interview and application required. If you have any questions at all, please email Alison.
