With over four years of experience and trained for three years by James Frazier, a veteran practitioner with over three decades of experience, she offers a unique blend of breathwork and psychological insight.
Her practice draws from Jungian psychology's rich toolbox of art, mythology, and dream analysis. She views the unconscious not as something to fear, but as a source of untapped potential. Through careful dream analysis and breathwork sessions, she helps clients bridge their conscious and unconscious minds, leading to deeper self-understanding.

STANISLAV GROF
Stanislav Grof changed how we think about consciousness and the human mind. Born in Prague in 1931, he began his career as a psychiatrist, but his real breakthrough came when he started exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness in the 1950s.
While working with LSD therapy (back when it was still legal), Grof noticed something fascinating: people under the influence often relived their own birth experiences. This led him to develop his theory of perinatal matrices – the idea that our birth experience shapes our psyche in profound ways.
When LSD was banned, Grof didn't give up. Instead, he and his wife Christina created Holotropic Breathwork, a technique that uses accelerated breathing to reach similar consciousness-expanding states. It's still used today in therapeutic settings around the world.
His ideas about spirituality, psychology, and consciousness have influenced generations of therapists and researchers. Through books like "Beyond the Brain" and "The Adventure of Self-Discovery," Grof argued that our psyche is far more vast than mainstream psychiatry assumes – extending beyond personal history into what he calls the transpersonal realm.
Now in his nineties, Grof's legacy lives on through the thousands of practitioners he's trained and the countless lives he's touched with his revolutionary approach to healing and self-discovery.
CARL GUSTAV JUNG
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, is widely celebrated as a pioneer of analytic psychology. His profound contributions have shaped the landscape of modern psychology, introducing transformative concepts and theories that continue to resonate today.
Jung's groundbreaking ideas, including the notions of the complex, archetypes, synchronicity, introversion, extroversion, modern dream analysis, and the collective unconscious, have provided invaluable tools for understanding the human psyche.
Central to Jung's teaching, is an idea of a deep-seated center within our unconscious. This center, distinct from our conscious "I", is structured and contains primordial codes that guide our optimal development. This concept was solidified through Jung's extensive studies of cross-cultural mythologies, where he observed a recurring theme: a journey to the Center.
Jung termed this journey as the "individuation process". This is not merely a voyage of self-discovery, but a task requiring the "I" to form a relationship with this profound inner Center. It is through this deep connection that one can become a highly functional individual within society.
Jung's theories have not only shaped the field of psychology, but they have also provided a roadmap for individuals seeking to understand themselves and their place in the world. His work continues to inspire, offering a lens through which we can explore the intricacies of our unconscious and embark on our own transformative journey towards individuation.
