Your Companion In Healing

 

Cindy brings a heart full of gratitude for over 30 years of partnering with her follow journeyers in discovering our own wisdom and natural healing potential.  In her private practice in Des Moines, Iowa, Cindy offers individual, couple, small group and workshop experiences that seek to open us to what our life story is teaching us.  Honoring the co-creative partnership, Cindy supports the accessing of our own inner divinity and wisdom.  Cindy seeks to honor the wholeness of who we are by intention toward and attention to the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Most of all, Cindy is a student of the sacred, mystical and miraculous; a lover of metaphor, hammocks and all things of the heart.

 

I offer myself as a co-journeyer with you in exploring your rich story.  If the following questions speak to you, it would be an honor to explore them more deeply in co-creative partnership.

Questions:

  • Are you seeking relaxation or stress relief?

  • Are you seeking to let go of physical, mental, emotional or spiritual blockages that inhibit your life?

  • Are you interested in enhancing your self-growth?

  • Would you like support on your life journey?

  • Are you open to awakening to more of who you truly are?

  • Are you looking for more balance in your life and wish to have your being viewed in a comprehensive way?

  • Are you wanting support through times of difficulty or challenge?

  • Are you seeking more inner peace?

  • Are you interested in exploring and honoring the story of your own spiritual life?

  • Are you interested in deepening an understanding of your own spiritual expression in the world?

Here are some possible doorways, singly or in combination, that we might enter into as a way of partnering in your healing journey:

  • Traditional or Body-Oriented Psychotherapy

Drawing from a wide range of approaches including:  family systems, cognitive - behavioral, transpersonal, Gestault, Jungian and other expressive therapies, as well as, brief solution-focused approaches.

  • Unconditional Love & Forgiveness Work

This holistic model has all the necessary steps for permanent relief and life changing freedom as we release resentments with others and ourselves.  Guided one on one sessions and workshop format available.

  • Reiki & Energy Work Sessions

Healing with energy and energetic principles is one of the oldest forms of health care known to humankind.  Energy therapies can promote the body's natural healing processes, pain relief, wound healing, reduce anxiety and stress, energize the body and enhance spiritual growth.

  • Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction, sometimes called spiritual mentoring or companioning, supports an honoring of the story of our own spiritual life.  It is an exploration of how the Divine Presence is at work in our lives.  It assists in deepening an understanding of our own spiritual expression in the world.

My training program, Spirations, has at its core an emphasis on the importance of our personal, community and global stories.  Spirations has an interspiritual focus honoring all spiritual traditions.  Learn more at the Spirations web site.

Individual, in-person, and phone sessions are available, as are small group spiritual mentoring experiences.

  • Body Work - CranioSacral Therapy or Swedish Massage

CranioSacral is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages our own natural healing mechanisms.  Better overall health, resistance to disease and alleviation of a range of illness, pain and dysfunction characterize the subtle yet power work.

Swedish Massage utilizes long gliding strokes, kneading muscle tissue and vibration to promote relaxation, movement of body fluids, self awareness, support of injury healling, increase flexibility and enhance circulation.
