1. Who are your clients? I am working with people who have parts of them resistant, blocked or felled by anxiety, depression, and lack of coping skills to allow them the next step of growth in their development and evolution. I use hypnotherapy, EMDR, EFT, Psych-K, parts psychology, Emotional Laser Technique, Biofeedback, behavior modification and talk therapy to achieve the longest lasting outcomes possible.
2. The population trends indicate that there are increasing numbers of single women living alone. In addition, women are living longer. Have you seen a difference in the number and/or the age of women seeking care for depression? Has the volume of female clients increased in general?
I am finding in my practice a significant number of women who are depressed and it doesn’t seem to make a huge difference if they are married or single. The problem may be that the movement to allow women more access to the male world has doubled her stress and not given her the male support she anticipated. The expectations of having it all are unrealistic as the demands of being married, a mother and a full time worker are huge and demanding. Many single woman over the age of 38 have unrealistic demands on what their men should be - strong yet gentle, a real money maker to provide security, but available to spend a lot of quality time with family, supportive of his wife and offering her relief and not needing any himself in his male strength, and being more mature than many men are. No one man can do all of this. Just as no woman can. However, woman try to prove they can and it takes an enormous toll on them in so many ways. Many young people today have no training on being a partner in a relationship and understanding from a mature perspective what skills, abilities, and communication styles it takes to have a relationship and grow within it. In fact, many people don’t know how to have a strong relationship with themself. I don’t find a significant volume of increase in female clients who are depressed. The numbers in my practice remain the same. I do believe that women are coming in at an earlier age. That seems different and they come in wanting to know what is wrong, why life isn’t measuring up to their “belief system” of what partnership is.
3. Would you give us a brief description of RoHun? RoHun is an energetic therapy that moves through the chakra system and releases trapped faulty thoughts, traumatic memories, parts of the ego trapped in dysfunction and miasms that stop growth and the person’s ability to live in internal and external harmony. It is a system that was given to Patricia Hayes who channeled Dr. RoHun, an entity working in the astral level for souls that have crossed over. He revealed to Ms. Hayes that too many souls were too layered with miasms, faulty beliefs, and traumatic memories and dysfunctions and that the healing in the astral world is very slow compared to that which can be done while in physical bodies. RoHun has several procedures to include a cleanse, purification, male/female, shadow work, tanks and vaults, Yhandi inner child, seven visions, and more.
4. How are you incorporating ‘wellness’ into your practice? I have two biofeedback devices that give a picture of the persons’ health and emotional well-being. These devices work on principles of health and identify what is out of balance - is it stress, unresolved mental issues, deficiency or excess of nutriments, improper diet, lack of exercise, toxins and pathogens, and/or an imbalance in energy? Once identified, the client is asked to become responsible for his/her health and well-being by taking steps of action to address what is keeping them out of health. I also specialize in flower essences from around the world that support emotional well-being and homeopathic remedies that support both physical and emotional health.
5. What would you like to share about your practice philosophy? My basic philosophy is to remove that which takes a person out of being beautifully themselves and provide the types of support that allow for restoring their own innate capacity for healing, finding mental and emotional peace of mind and creating a satisfying life, good self-care, and self-nurturance.
