Brain Retraining Coaching for Chronic Illness
I offer brain retraining coaching to those for whom chronic illness is part of your psycho-spiritual awakening journey.
​
These services are for folks who are participating in a limbic system retraining program (such as DNRS, The Gupta Program, The Lightning Process, or other,) and want individualized support, spiritual support, or attachment healing to complement this.
​
*My coaching is based on my own experience healing from chronic illness using brain retraining and other methods. You can read more about my recovery journey here.
Who Gets chronically sick?
It is often the most sensitive souls that come down with chronic illness. It is often also folks that take too much personal responsibility (taking on the weight of the world, taking on other people’s stuff, and internalizing false negative messaging about oneself) that get sick.
The Connection between Chronic Illness and Collective Liberation
We live in a very dysfunctional and toxic world. The forces of colonialism, capitalism, racism, ecocide, and more make tangible physical and energetic impacts on us. Our bodies are barometers. And it is often the most sensitive people that are like the canaries in the coal mine, alerting us to how out of balance our world has become.
As Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti said, "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Chronic illness can be a catalyst or radicalizer for acting on behalf of restoring balance to our world. If you are chronically ill, it may be because you are here to transform our world to be more in alignment with sanity and health... the same sanity that would heal your body.
The Connection between chronic illness and spiritual awakening
For some, a chronic illness may be an initiation into an embodiment and reality that is so radically different from normative consciousness… so beyond the box of what she or he can imagine. It is trying to fit oneself into the smallness of our colonial mindset that makes you sick. The old paradigm is dying. Your old habit patterns based in fear, scarcity, contraction, disempowerment, and attachment wounding no longer serve you. Clinging to these things is only going to make you sick.
Sickness may be the only thing strong enough to get your attention, and to force you to change your perspective and approach to life, to align with a much bigger and more empowered perspective.
Healing attachment trauma
A lot of chronic illness is rooted in attachment trauma. As a licensed therapist, I am trained in attachment work and also in somatic trauma therapy. As you heal your attachment trauma, restore your clarity and agency, disentangle from disempowering relationship dynamics, and disentangle from distorted beliefs, you restore deep regulation to your body, and your body starts to heal on its own.
Your body reflects your beliefs. It is easy to go down rabbit holes of despair and attune to a strong negativity bias when you feel like shit all of the time. But your brain is so powerful. Your illness is an invitation for you to realize just how powerful. Because you can find that you have the power to invert your reality through the power of your conscious thoughts. You have the power to become the agent and commander of your own life.
Integrative healing
There are many factors that contribute to illness including unresolved trauma, being in toxic relationships, negative beliefs, body functions that have been compromised by many years of being sick, and even nutrient deficiencies. Some people really benefit from medical interventions to help the healing process along. I am not a purist when it comes to brain retraining. Instead I take an integrative approach, knowing there are many nuances and paths toward healing. I support your agency to determine what is the best path forward for you!
Brain retraining is for those ready to take radical responsibility for themselves. It involves becoming your own healer. It takes concerted effort and dedication. But it is so rewarding because you truly get to experience your power as a Creator!

I am honored to help folks who are ready for this truly miraculous and beautiful process.
