Create Positive Change through a Healthy Mind
Five Week Sessions
All three of the sessions below combine current brain research and science with powerful personal and spiritual development tools. They include an engaging combination of small group discussions, written reflections and a variety of mind/body practices including Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Develop positive new ways of thinking and living!
You’ll receive bang on guidance, great handouts and home exercises and you’ll open your mind to new possibilities and directions for your life. Participants have found these classes invigorating and life enhancing and report lasting shifts to positive new ways of thinking and living.
1. Changing Beliefs to Create the Life You Want
Mon Sept 17 to Oct 22, 7-9 pm (5 weeks -no class Thanksgiving Oct 8) $197
Most beliefs get established in your unconscious mind at a young age. They might have kept you safe as a child but many of them no longer serve you well. Some of them create stress and problems in your life yet because they reside in your unconscious mind; you might not know what they are or how to change them.
In this series you will find out what you currently believe (which may surprise you) and you will have the opportunity to change beliefs that no longer serve you positively. Once that happens, you’ll find yourself moving much more easily towards what you want in your life.
2. Uncover Your Values: Discover Your Purpose and Passion
Mon Oct 29 to Nov 26 (5 weeks) 7-9 pm $197
Do you really know what’s important to you? Create your own unique list of what is most important to you and clear up values conflicts that limit your ability to do what you want. Learn how to take effective action towards your goals and purpose.
3. NEW! Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Wed Sept 19 to Oct 24 (5 weeks -no class Oct 3) 10 am to noon $197
Have you gone round and round trying different things to change something you don’t like about yourself or your life? Do you try to attract things into your life but they never happen the way you want them to? Do you wonder what started the whole problem off in the first place and how to let it go?
Getting to the heart of the matter is about using the vast capacity of your unconscious mind together with the guidance and wisdom of your heart to let go of what no longer serves you and to create what you really do want in your life. Coming to know how to get into your heart, effectively access and direct your unconscious mind, and find acceptance and peace about yourself and others is a balm to the worry and confusion of your life.
You’ll practice connecting to inner and universal guidance and ways to move past fear and limitations to unlimited possibility, passion, purpose and positive action. Current brain research and ways of creating neuroplastic change will be combined with ancient practices to create fast and lasting shifts in your mind and life.

Somatics Classes: Create a Healthy Relationship with your Body
1. The Daily Somatic Series
Wed Oct 31 to Nov 28 (5 weeks) 10 am to noon $197
Do you get tight and stiff? People all respond to daily stress and traumatic life experiences by reflex muscle contractions. When triggered over and over again, habitual muscle contractions develop. Eventually your body stays tight, stiff and sore because you’ve forget how certain muscle groups feel and how to control them.
In this series of six classes, you will learn The Daily Somatic Series, a set of relaxing exercises you can do on your own to bring awareness and control back to your body. You can eliminate or reduce your pain, increase freedom of movement, improve posture, and counter the effect of stress.
I’ve been a registered physiotherapist since 1988 and have been teaching Somatics in the Comox Valley since 2003. These popular classes are suitable for adult beginners of all abilities or as a review to wake up your body and rejuvenate your Somatics practice.
2. Somatics Refresher

Have you fallen off the Somatic’s wagon? Would you like to refresh your practice and get some expert help making it even more effective? Come to a relaxing afternoon, review the Daily Somatic Series and get back on track again.
