About ReVision Work
There comes a moment in all of our lives when we realize that we've lived more life than lies ahead. As we step into this reality, we have the opportunity to take a moment, two, or three, to process and honor what has been, and prepare for what is to come.
​
No matter the circumstances, be it natural shifts in age, understanding a difficult diagnosis, or finally releasing ourselves from longstanding trauma, ReVisioning creates the space to truly make peace with ourselves and spirit. That way, we can shift perspective and support ourselves along the path to that which is inevitably unfolding: the rest of our life, with an emergent grace that can be felt.
​
This work feels like a sanctuary. It is a respite to allow for surrendering into what is, and finding ourselves again. By utilizing the tools of the natural world, we find comfort, confidence, and curiosity.
The wilderness is our sanctuary.
The wilderness has served as my sanctuary for teaching, facilitation, and personal grounding for over 40 years. Beneath the forest's canopy, I have taught children and teenagers and guided adults and elders.
My practice is now focused on guiding those who have traversed an arc of life’s journey and look forward to new perspectives as they move into the paths that lie ahead. It is my calling to support the navigation of transitions, comprehend the arc of life that awaits, and clear the path forward.
This work includes one-on-one therapeutic sessions and expands into Wilderness Retreats for individuals and groups, and weaves faith in internal healing wisdom with the tools of trauma-informed healing, the Hakomi Method, and journey work.
Together, we forge both literal and metaphorical paths, with the guidance of appropriate leadership and skillful integration. Through shared exploration, we embark on a transformative voyage, melding understanding and growth as we discern the next chapter in life with curiosity, calm, and connectedness.
Philosophy
Uncomfortable transitions are the field of possibility for life-affirming transformation.
When we meet a moment of transition - be it societal, circumstantial, or emotional, we possess a new potency. And so much up it lies just beneath the surface. In that space, we have the opportunity to divorce struggle from suffering and transform longing into inspiration.
When we truly slow down and turn inward we begin to self-inspire and re-discover purpose, even if we don’t think time is on our side. We can clear the path, re-fire ourselves into discerned presence, and have a profound impact on our future selves. Revision Work enables us to expand beyond our current coping strategies to develop greater freedom.

​
When we really know that we have one life, we can no longer put it off for later.
Many of us struggle in relationship and social engagement, feel disconnected, or grapple with purpose as life changes. We may feel apprehensive in our journey towards emerging or established elderhood, when confronting a difficult diagnosis, and/or healing from re-emergent traumas.
Re-Vision Work is an opportunity to release the narratives that no longer serve us, and shift our perspective to clarify and steady ourselves for what is to come. It allows us to harness choice over reflex, so we can become more resourced and connected to ourselves and others.

​
The Wilderness slows us down enough to hear ourselves.
The therapeutic power of contemplative practices in nature is profound. Yet, while we know this, it can be difficult to access. We often need guidance to allow us to slow down enough to listen and hear the emergent wisdom from within ourselves. Often, we find that these rich spaces are just past the point of habitual comfort.
Much of the work that I offer outside of the one-on-one therapeutic setting is set in the wilderness for this very purpose. This contemplative and guided work allows us to expand beyond the ego’s boundaries and witness the depth of our psyche.
​
​
This work is a rite of passage.
Re-Vision work focuses on moments of sincere life transition and transformation. Through the vehicles of one-on-one work and wilderness experiences, we reconnect to our life to see more clearly. For those who are ready, this is inspiration, grief, and soul work. It is the opportunity to honor what has been and shift course.
I offer this work as the opportunity to identify new cornerstones so that we can meet these moments with curiosity, calm, and courage. When we work together one-on-one, within a dedicated community cohort, or both, we have safe structures that allow us to untangle, discern, and return the compass to our own hands.
