What I’ve Learned from Sitting with Troubled Hearts
When people arrive with troubled hearts, they often believe they are carrying something unusual. They think their pain is too much, too complicated, or too broken to be understood. What I’ve learned, after sitting with many people over the years, is that troubled hearts are far more alike than they are different. Pain wears many costumes, but

Free Will and the Choice to Heal
Healing is not something that can be forced. It isn’t something that happens because someone else wants it for us, explains it well enough, or points us in the right direction. Healing begins when a person chooses it—not all at once, and not perfectly, but in their own time and in their own way. I’ve come to

Why Joy Is Not a Luxury
Many people treat joy as something extra. Something to earn. Something to postpone until life settles down, pain eases, problems are solved, or responsibilities are handled. Joy becomes something fragile, placed just out of reach—reserved for better circumstances or a future version of ourselves. I don’t see joy that way. In my experience, joy is not a luxury.

Listening to the Body When Words Fall Short
There are times when words simply don’t reach far enough. People often arrive wanting to explain what they’re feeling, but their explanations feel incomplete. They circle around the same phrases, searching for clarity, yet something remains unresolved. In those moments, I’ve learned to shift attention away from words and toward the body. The body speaks in a

Learning to Trust What Comes Through
Trust is something that grows slowly. It doesn’t arrive all at once, and it doesn’t usually come with certainty. More often, trust is built through small moments—quiet realizations, gentle confirmations, and experiences that feel true in the body before they make sense in the mind. When I first noticed guidance coming through me, I didn’t immediately trust

Humor as a Healing Language
There are moments in life when laughter feels like the last thing that belongs in the room. And yet, those are often the moments when it’s needed most. I’ve learned that humor has a way of slipping past our defenses. It doesn’t argue. It doesn’t analyze. It simply arrives, softening the edges of whatever we’re carrying.

When Pain Becomes a Doorway
Pain has a way of demanding our attention. Most of us don’t go looking for it. We try to avoid it, soften it, distract ourselves from it, or explain it away. And that makes sense. Pain is uncomfortable. It disrupts our sense of control. It asks us to slow down when we would rather keep moving. Yet

The Power of Being Truly Listened To
There is something profoundly healing about being truly listened to. Not the kind of listening where someone is waiting for their turn to speak, or quietly planning advice while you’re talking—but the kind where another person is fully present with you. Where you can feel that your words are landing somewhere safe. Where nothing needs to

These sparkling souls down from the sky. Pure essence as they come to earth. Prepared for womb, then have

My Chocolate Adventure
In 1993, my husband Claus and I returned to Canada from Denmark to help care for my aging parents. It was a season of transition—one of those quiet turning points in life where you don’t yet know what will grow out of the change, only that something new is beginning. We eventually settled in the small
