My name is Mary Kay Parkinson and I am a life coach and energy healer in private practice for over 20 years. I specialize in working with Highly Sensitive People.
Highly Sensitive Person (H.S.P.) You may find:
(not sure you are an H.S.P. - READ HERE)
- You are aware of a lot, so you get easily overwhelmed, and may need a better way to sort out and respond to all the stimulus.
- You are having very strong emotional reactions which are hard to deal with.
- You know you are different and may secretly think or feel that something is wrong with you.
- Your lifestyle is not in tune with the needs of your sensitivity.
- Criticism deeply affects you.
You may be struggling in all these ways, yet true healing will begin with a critical change in perspective - instead of viewing your sensitivity as a burden or a weight, you will start to see it as a gift, a precious jewel that needs protection.
"If you don't teach yourself that you are a trustworthy steward of your own sensitivity, you won't be able to express it. I would venture to say that if you cannot express the fullness of your sensitivity, you can't express the fullness of your gifts." - Cheryl Richardson 2012 Tapping World Summit.
In reaching this critical change in perspective and in learning to protect your sensitive self, HSP's benefit from an attuned, gentle, wellness focused approach. That's where I can help with my life coaching and energy healing.
This is where we start our work together. Every HSP is completely unique, and yet many highly sensitive people naturally have two issues to contend with arising out of their innate sensitivity - being easily aroused and /or overstimulated and having stronger than average emotional reactions.
Other common issues that unfold for HSP's include undervaluing themselves, having a lifestyle that is incompatible with being an HSP, and overreactions to criticism.
I can help you sort out and work through these and other basic issues so that you can become all you were meant to be! Read More Here.

Energy Healing
When deeper work is required, energy healing provides a space to drop in for that depth work. Old energy patterns learned in childhood may have once served you, but now they stop you from moving forward in your life.
I can help you explore, sort out and release those old energy patterns as well as develop new patterns that serve your present life. Read More Here.
