“If you aren’t the hero of your own life, you’re in the wrong story!” - Joseph Campbell

My philosophy
We are all authors of our own stories. We choose each day whether we are going to do the writing or whether we are going to be “written upon” by others.

“What are you going to do with your one wild and glorious life?” - Mary Oliver

I believe that each of us has the power within us to re-vision our life story. I use journaling, drawing, goal setting and manifestation techniques, grief and loss theories and the “hero’s journey” to help people write and rewrite their life stories. I believe that by empowering the individual and creating awareness of belief systems and patterns that may be harmful to us, we are able to create a “new” chapter of our lives with new, positive belief systems.


What’s Breaking Free about?
We are shaped by our stories. We make choices based on our personal belief systems. Our lives are a narrative – a story of ups and downs, heartache and happiness. We have the power to rewrite and revise our lives at any time.

“Our bodies are the hardware. Our personal belief system, or myth, is the software that makes the body work.” -- Sam Keen

Ask yourself, “Am I the hero of my own life?” Ask yourself who makes your choices. Ask yourself how you have dealt with your own losses. Through writing and experiential exercises, we will identify losses which are hindering you from living fully in your life today.
