Welcome!
I am here to help you
recognize the innate and unique goodness
that is the core of your being
and
to see and dismantle what
interferes with its full expression.
My work helps you to build what I think of as 'life skills'--
simple, practical skills rooted in spiritual wisdom.
Keep reading for more information,
and contact me for a free phone consultation,
to schedule a session or reading,

Support
I am not a traditional talk therapist
by vocation or training.
I'm a teacher, an emotional midwife, an ally.
What I do is really listen.
Then I help you to develop
the self awareness
and emotional tools
that will help you heal.
These tools I teach are simple (not easy),
often counterintuitive,
and not part of most people's learning.
They can replace
many of the tools
that seem like they should work,
but don't.
Working with me will probably include--
building self-awareness with mindfulness,
feeling your emotions,
getting to know hidden parts of yourself
(including shadow & inner child),
practicing self-understanding,
exploring imagination, 'time travel' and other non-linear tools,
and learning about your own astrology chart.
I can not wait to talk with you about this!

Parent Support
Parenting has been both intensely
humbling and growthful for me.
It was hard for me to manage my big emotions
(and my children's).
I came to mindfulness--
a consistent daily practice of noticing
sensations, feelings, and thoughts in me--
to help me handle those emotions.
That, along with learning
to actually feel my feelings
(rather than intellectually understand them),
to be gentle with myself,
and to be curious about why kids act the way they do,
changed my life.
With time and a lot of trial and error,
it created a profound transformation in
my relationship with myself,
my now grown children, and the world.
My support for parents
is rooted in this experience.
I listen deeply and with love;
share practical tools that will help you and your child;
teach you how to tend to emotions;
offer the emotional support you need; and
coach you to develop connection, trust,
leadership, healthy boundaries and discipline
with your child.
Contact me to learn more about any or all of this and
to talk about what's up in your family.

Astrology
A natal astrology chart is the map of the sky
the moment you take your first breath.
The planets and how they connect tell a story about
the gifts you bring into this life,
what you’re here to learn,
and conditions that will help to express yourself fully.
A reading can give you permission to be yourself,
highlight the lessons you need to learn and
the gifts you may need to work to develop.

About Gloria
I have spent my life
walking between worlds
with one foot firmly planted in the earthy realm
of practical life, common sense, and nature;
and the other stepping into the abyss–
the unexpected, invisible, experimental chaos
of a world that isn’t fully born yet.
Experiential education,
nature healing,
mindfulness,
emotional transformation,
shadow work,
astrology
& other ways of knowing
and understanding ourselves
are some of the disciplines
I’ve immersed myself in over the past 40+ years.
I have been fortunate to learn through
deep connections with wonderful teachers and mentors,
books and spoken word,
formal training and classes,
direct observation, and more.
The studies have been an incredible gift and launching pad.
Personal exploration,
direct experience,
trial and error,
and the process of bringing what I've studied
into my body, emotions, mind, relationships, and soul
has integrated the learning
so that I can embody it and
teach with integrity and humility.
Now, entering the crone years,
I teach what I know,
sharing practices, guidance, tools, and information,
and more importantly
I bring presence, trust, reverence, love, and wisdom.
I can’t offer myself as
‘one who has figured it all out,’
but I’m absolutely
‘one who is learning alongside you.’
