How do you know you’re Highly Sensitive?

You are aware of subtleties in your environment.

 You have a rich, complex inner life.

 Other people’s moods affect you a lot.

 You become unpleasantly aroused or easily over-stimulated when a lot is going on around you.

These are a few items from Elaine Aron's 27 item test, "Are you highly sensitive?" from her book, The Highly Sensitive Person.  You can take her self-test now.  To see if your child is highly sensitive, Elaine Aron has created another checklist.  You may recognize yourself in some of these statements.  My clients tell me that it is a great relief to be with someone who understands the unique issues of a person that walks through our not-so-sensitive world as a highly sensitive person.  Many gain appreciation for their gifts and skills to live in a world not geared towards these gifts.

I would like for you to thrive.  I would like you to experience the riches of your unique sensitivity and learn to get your unique needs met as well.  Being sensitive creates more awareness – you may feel out of balance or over-stimulated, even though you don’t know why.  Energy work (my work is like REIKI, but involves more training) can bring balance and more specific awareness of the subtle energy centers that may be responsible for the sensations you feel.

For some being highly sensitive is at the core of their work with me.  For others, it’s simply a background piece that we hold in common, creating understanding and ease.  I offer a wide variety of services for body, psyche and soul.

I enjoy working with both adults and children.  Work can be short term or long term, on the phone or in person, depending on the issue.  I enjoy relationships that last over time, meeting for a while and taking breaks as life’s issues cycle through.  This allows for deep work as our relationship deepens.  

If you are new to my work, please give me a call or e-mail me to set up a free 30 minute consultation.  Working together is all about intangible things like relationship, resonance and connection, and we can't know what that feels like without meeting each other.  So call or e-mail me to take the time to check it out.  I look forward to meeting you!
