behind the scenes
a little bit about me
I often describe myself as a student, teacher, and philosopher—in that order.
I love learning. I love teaching. And I’m endlessly curious about what helps us feel more whole, more connected, and more at home in ourselves. Over the years, I’ve explored many healing modalities, always listening for what truly supports integration rather than just insight. What I’ve come to trust is not one single approach, but the way different practices speak to each other—how they meet, overlap, and deepen the work of coming back to ourselves.
My path into this work began with C.O.R.E. Healing, which gave me a grounded and compassionate way to meet my inner world. It taught me how to bring awareness to what I was experiencing, to take ownership of it, and to allow what had been held to gently move and release. It wasn’t about fixing myself—it was about learning how to be with myself in a new way.
From there, I found SoulCollage®, which opened a different kind of doorway—one rooted in image, intuition, and voice. It allowed me to access parts of myself that lived beyond words, and to meet them with curiosity and creativity. SoulCollage® brought a sense of play into the healing process, reminding me that this work doesn’t have to be heavy to be meaningful.
Later, I was introduced to Family Constellations, which widened my lens even further. This work helped me see that what we carry is not always ours alone—that many of our patterns, emotions, and struggles are connected to something larger within our family systems. It invited a deeper understanding of belonging, love, and the unseen loyalties that shape our lives.
Together, these modalities form a living practice—one that honors the inner world, the relational field, and the wisdom of the body. My work lives at the intersection of listening, relationship, meaning-making, and felt experience. I’m deeply interested in how we come into right relationship with ourselves—not by fixing or overriding what’s there, but by making space for it to speak.
I’ve also trained in a range of awareness-based and energy practices, including Focusing, Internal Family Systems–informed work, Integrated Energy Therapy, and Reiki. Each of these has shaped how I listen, how I hold space, and how I support others in staying connected to themselves—body, heart, and imagination.
What ties all of this together is a simple belief: nothing inside us needs to be fixed—only listened to, included, and met with compassion.
In my teaching and facilitation, I balance structure with spaciousness. I value curiosity over certainty, presence over performance, and gentle attention over force. I’m interested in creating conditions where the nervous system can soften, insight can emerge organically, and healing can happen through relationship rather than effort.
I continue to learn—from my teachers, my students, and from listening to what my own body and inner world are asking for next. This work, for me, is both a practice and a way of life—an ongoing unfolding, guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for the mystery of healing.
Honoring the Lineage
This work is deeply rooted in the wisdom of those who have come before—teachers who have listened closely to the human experience and offered pathways back to wholeness.
With gratitude, I honor Seena B. Frost, whose creation of SoulCollage® invites us to access our inner world through image, intuition, and voice—reminding us that we are each our own best guide.
I honor Bert Hellinger, whose work in Family Constellations revealed the unseen bonds of love and loyalty within families, helping us gently recognize and release what has been carried across generations.
And I honor Martin Hart, whose C.O.R.E. Healing framework offers a compassionate and practical way to meet ourselves with awareness, take ownership of our inner experience, and allow what has been held to soften and move.
seena frost
honoring
Seena B. Frost is the creator of SoulCollage, a practice that has gently invited thousands of people to explore their inner world through images and intuition. As a psychotherapist and spiritual director, she trusted that creativity could open pathways to self-understanding that words alone sometimes cannot reach. What began in the late 1980s as a simple collage activity gradually unfolded into the SoulCollage process many people know today. Seena believed that each person carries deep wisdom within them, and that the images we are drawn to can help reveal and give voice to that knowing. Her work continues to live on through the many individuals and facilitators who carry the practice forward with the same spirit of curiosity, compassion, and trust.
bert hellinger
honoring
Bert Hellinger opened a profound way of seeing the hidden dynamics that live within our families. Through Family Constellations, he revealed how we are often shaped by unseen loyalties—carrying emotions, patterns, or burdens that may not have originated with us, but were taken on out of love and a deep desire to belong.
His work gently invites us to look beyond the surface of our struggles and into the larger system we are a part of. When what has been excluded or unseen is acknowledged, something begins to soften. There is a natural movement toward balance—not through force, but through recognition.
At its heart, his teaching reminds us that healing can emerge when each person is given their place, and when we are willing to release what was never ours to carry. In that shift, we often find a deeper sense of connection, clarity, and peace.
Martin hart
honoring
Martin Hart offers a grounded and compassionate path for meeting ourselves in the midst of our inner experience. Through the C.O.R.E. Healing process—Conscious Awareness, Ownership, Release, and Engage—he provides a way to gently turn toward what is arising, rather than turning away.
His work helps us recognize that our reactions are not problems to fix, but invitations to understand. By bringing awareness to what we’re feeling, taking ownership of our experience, and allowing what has been held to move and release, we begin to shift from reactivity into presence.
At its heart, this approach teaches us how to be with ourselves in a new way—one rooted in curiosity, responsibility, and compassion—so that we can return to our lives with greater clarity, choice, and alignment.
