Welcome to The Dawning Heart
What is the Dawning Heart?
The Dawning Heart is a conscious approach to living that recognizes the inherent strength we possess when we honor and cultivate our hearts.
Drawing upon Yogic teachings, Traditional Chinese Medicine energetic systems, modern neuroscience, and the physical body’s felt sense, we learn to listen deeply within, recognize patterns, and develop tools to optimize our engagement in our lives.
Working with movement, breath, visualization, vocalization, reframing, and deep questions; we will explore the inner workings of our hearts and uncover hidden treasures. Through masculine practice, self-study, and accountability we will continually reveal and remove obstacles on our journey. A deepening sense of connection both individually and in relationship is available.
“You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.”
What is Deep Inner Work Men’s Coaching?
Deep Inner Work Coaching is a journey within. When embarked upon with Integrity, Compassion, and Radical Responsibility this journey can reveal our challenges and our unique gifts with which to face those challenges.
Deep Inner Work utilizes the physical and emotional bodies in combination with masculine practice and spirituality to gain tools and insights into what we truly desire, what is standing in our way, and who we need to be in order to achieve our intentions.
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
- Anne Frank
Why coach with me?
A well-timed question can be all that is needed for life changing insights.
My training in men’s work coaching, in addition to the one on one work I’ve done with patients and students over the years, has sharpened my ability to listen, empathize, and challenge. These experiences allow me to see through the stories we tell and get to the heart of matter.
As a professional dancer, licensed acupuncturist, advanced certified yoga teacher, personal trainer, and yogic bodywork practitioner I bring over 30 years of experience of working with the physical and subtle bodies to each session. I believe the physical body can be a gateway to our inner world of emotions and thoughts.
What I do?
Human beings require a holistic approach to their health and wellness that includes the physical body, the mind, the emotions, and the social structures in which we grew and those in which we live.
My work addresses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, aimed at optimizing a client’s wellbeing and living a fulfilling and rewarding life. I apply decades of experience working with the physical and subtle bodies, finely tuned skills, deep curiosity, and empathy to help my clients address challenges and face issues in their lives.
My journey towards spirituality started, long before my first yoga class, in the dance studio where I learned that it took more than making shapes with the body to be a dancer. That education in physical and subtle body expression naturally led me to study Yoga, Chinese Medicine, Thai Yoga Bodywork, Reiki, and breath-work. My process is based on years of working with my own body, the bodies of my fellow dancers, my yoga students, and my patients.
The journey we will embark upon is radical in the sense that we will look to address the root causes for the disturbances in your life. We will explore destructive patterns of behavior and limiting beliefs, understand why they exist and take responsibility for you part in them, and ultimately choose an alternative that better serves you and your intentions.
