Do You or Your Organization Need Support?

Typically we put our self-care last on the list, only to pay a heavy price later, whether as an individual, a team, or an organization.

Can you imagine looking back a year from now and saying, “Wow, that truly doesn’t bother me anymore.” Or, “I finally got to the next level.” Or, “I feel more myself now.”

 

Meet your goals to make things better, today. Our shared goal is improving the quality of your life, and that of your team and organization!

Struggling?

Are trauma, addiction, anxiety, or grief disrupting your well-being and your life, despite your best efforts to change?

Feeling Stuck?

Are you feeling stuck on a hamster wheel, going round and round enduring the same, unresolved issues with yourself or with your partner, family, or work?

Lacking Support?

Are you lacking the support from someone who really listens to you, has your back, and appreciates (and sometimes challenges) your perspective?

Not Progressing?

Have you read the books, attended the workshops, promised yourself this time you’d do it differently… and still find yourself in the same place year after year?

Negative Thoughts?

Do shame and regret fill your head with negative stories about yourself that you just can’t shake off?

Feeling Lost?

Do you yearn to live a life with more belonging, meaning, and freedom and need help finding a new, more satisfying direction in your personal life or at work?

What Others Have To Say

"During this intense time of grief and the loss of my son, our sessions helped me feel relaxed and even hopeful. You are very important to my well-being these days, Ya’el."

– L.T., Lawyer

• "That was a really groundbreaking session yesterday. I’m still thinking about the two parts of me – the ‘pleaser/nice girl’ and ‘rebel with the heart of gold.’ Now I know that rebel needs to come out more!"

– N.R., Psychotherapist

"Ya'el and brainspotting are a powerful combination for personal transformation. "

– L.L., Playwright and Business Owner

"Ya’el gave us a new language to communicate the tough spots in our relationship without a lot of unnecessary old stories and triggers. She was able to hold space as new ideas became possibilities for understanding between us."

– M.G., Business Owner and C.Y., Author and Massage Therapist

“Ya’el is a very skilled and compassionate listening presence."

– T.A.S., International Group Facilitator

“I really appreciate the real-life scenario of a team issue. That will really help our team air out issues they may be ruminating on, but may feel to uncomfortable to attack head-on. Thanks so much for building in a conduit for that opportunity.”
