She is driving; he is sitting next to her. Suddenly, he blurts out, “My God! Will you get off that guy’s ass!” Her response to being yelled at might be to react defensively and say something along the lines of, “Who is driving here, you or me? You always criticize my driving!” Not constructive communication,…

Do vacations make us happier?
I always assumed there was a correlation between summer and vacation time on the one hand and an increase of happiness on the other. However, after researching this a bit I found out that scientific studies show that there is no correlation. People aren’t happier because they can take time off or go on vacation….
Do You Want to Heal a Relationship?
Some of the most beautiful and most rewarding work I do is around helping people heal their relationships. Each time I have the honour to facilitate a relationship alignment for a client, I know I am in complete synch with my life purpose to raise the vibration on this planet. We are all living…
Who is taking you for granted?
An interesting challenge has come my way lately. A client who—despite the 24 hour cancellation policy I have in place—took advantage of me and my time by repeatedly cancelling last minute.

Who do you judge? – The Story of the Immoral Girlfriend
A girlfriend of mine—let’s call her Anne—broke off the contact with a long-time close girlfriend of hers.

How to Remove the Emotional Charge from a Shadow Trait
Do you feel taken advantage of? Manipulated to do things because you are after all a good person; helpful and compassionate? Do you have a hard time saying no and setting boundaries because it feels “unkind” and “selfish” to do so? You would benefit from embracing your shadow side: that selfish, unkind, bad person inside…
Raising Children from Love, Not Fear
When we first become parents, raising children does not come with a manual or a class. Many of us unconsciously fall into the same parenting fears our own parents had. We might worry our child is not smart enough to make it out there in the big world, or that he or she is too…
How Children Carry Our Disowned Shadow Parts
Children are wonderful mirrors for us. How do your children annoy you? How do they get you to lose your composure? One of my daughters could make me mad by doing things last minute. That took all sorts of forms over the years, and for the longest time, I claimed to be the exact opposite,…
Why Would I Want to Embrace My Darkness and How Do I Do That?
