There is a strange thing that happens when you finally begin to love your life. You become aware that you could lose it. For most of my life, death wasn't something I particularly feared. In fact, within my spiritual understanding of existence, I have always thought of death as returning home—to the Spirit World. I often felt more connected to spirit than to my physical existence. And then something changed. I started wanting to be here.

There are moments in life when you realize you aren't quite ready for what comes next, but you also know you can't stay where you are. For me, that realization came after losing my soul dog, Spirit. Fostering felt like the perfect middle ground. I could open my home and my heart to a dog who needed me without making the lifelong commitment of adoption before I was ready.

When it comes to healing and personal growth, I believe in doing things differently. If you’re tired of the usual therapy routine - sitting behind a desk, nodding along, and watching the clock tick - then you’re in the right place. At Free Spirit Coaching & Psychological Services, we break down the barriers of traditional therapy by taking sessions outdoors, surrounded by nature. Because healing is not meant to be confined to four walls. It’s a whole-person journey that invol

It seems as if we've all been experiencing an enormous amount of loss the past few years. For some that loss looks like a divorce, job, home, friendship, self-worth or death. I am definitely no exception. I guess that's one thing we all have in common… we all experiencing loss. And with loss comes pain. Pain does not discriminate by what causes it. Pain just feels pain. No matter what we are all going through, we all feel the pain and we're all just trying to get through it.

When it comes to healing and personal growth, traditional therapy often feels confined to a room with four walls. But what if your journey to wellness could happen under the open sky, surrounded by nature’s calm? That’s exactly what we do differently here at Free Spirit Coaching & Psychological Services. We believe real change happens when mind, body, and spirit come together in a holistic approach. If you’re ready for more than just an hour of nodding and clock-watching, you

When it comes to personal transformation, many of us seek more than just quick fixes or surface-level advice. We want real change that touches every part of our being - mind, body, and spirit. That’s where spiritual coaching steps in, offering a unique path to healing and growth that goes beyond traditional therapy. At Free Spirit Coaching & Psychological Services, we do things differently. We believe healing is not confined to four walls but flourishes in the open air, surro

A spiritual awakening doesn’t arrive with angels singing or a big dramatic sign. Most of the time, it begins quietly. Something shifts inside you. Something feels off. Something feels different. You can’t explain it, but you feel it. It’s like you finally start seeing yourself - and the world - with honest, unfiltered eyes.

There are moments in life when an experience gives us insight we could never have reached simply by thinking about it. As a psychologist, I understand this intellectually. As a human being, I am learning it in my body. My recent Camino journey gave me one of those moments.

A week ago, I was at the window seat somewhere over the country, flying home to Arizona, and I realized I almost left more than my dad behind in Chicago. I almost left myself.

A few years ago I started on a journey to embrace my Divine Feminine energy. For me, this was no easy task. I felt like I was trying to fit the round peg into the square hole. It felt like I was trying to be somebody I wasn't... but I wanted to be.

Here are some questions to get you started on the journey back to self-love. These are the same ones I offer my clients to gently guide them home — and you can use them too, especially when you feel that inner tug pulling you away from your center. I invite you to sit with these questions as a check-in:

It can be a very helpless feeling to watch what's happening in this world... to desperately want change but feel powerless and hopeless

I’m writing this mostly for myself, to face the truth of my life’s journey. But I also hope that maybe my story reaches someone

Surrender isn’t about giving up - it’s about letting go of control and trusting the Universe to guide you. In this honest and spiritual reflection, I share how surrendering transformed my life, opened my intuition, and brought me back to peace - and how it can for you too.

Surrender. The mere thought pisses me off! Now, on my spiritual journey, I'm being faced with the Divine lesson of surrender. This new, unfamiliar concept is one of great power, strength and courage. So then why does it case us such discomfort? Surrender can have two vastly different meanings depending upon what you believe to be your life purpose.

Yes, anxiety is a part of us but it’s not all of us. And it certainly doesn’t determine who we are or who we’ll be in the future.

We all experience symptoms of anxiety. Let's figure out how it started.

Fear and anxiety can feel similar in the mind. These thoughts take us away from the present moment and puts us out of sync with our body.

The best way to understand anxiety is to understand it as fear… fear of the unknown.

When you manifest something, you are bringing it into being by focusing on what you want and then letting go.
