Welcome to Bridges to Wholeness, a new blog and web-site currently under construction. The concepts here are built from observing people throughout my many years of work as a nurse, a lactation-consultant, a health and wellness advisor / educator, a transitions coach and a spiritual counselor. I’ve noticed that achieving health and well-being is a dynamic process that frequently involves making transitions. The transitions may be small or large, but it is the passage through them that allows for transformation to occur….for goals to be achieved….for outcomes to be realized…for deeper levels of soulful connections to occur. I have found that if people receive support through transitional times, they can often maneuver with greater ease and success.
Whether is has been helping new mothers connect with their babies through breastfeeding, supporting individuals in discovering deeper levels of understanding and joy within themselves or their relationships, guiding people through the maze of healthcare to reach improved levels of health & vitality, educating individuals and groups about holistic therapies and techniques to bring greater levels of well-being, caring for women as they transition back home after breast cancer surgery or supporting individuals and their families through the dying process - my life’s work has been about supporting people through transitions and helping them connect to deeper levels of wholeness.
As human beings, we are all an evolution in progress and transitions are an unavoidable part of life. Whether we initiate change or change comes to us, we are called to move from one place or state of being to another. In that transitional process there are choice points, places where we have to decide what options we will choose to best serve our needs and bring us to our highest outcome. These decision-making points require clarity, commitment and the ability to carry it through. Sometimes these places are stressful, they are places where fears, discouragement, fragmentation and confusion can arise, making it difficult to proceed. Sometimes, support on the journey, – whether it is information, techniques, or a clear perspective - can make a significant difference….like a shining light to reveal the path. When we make it over the bridge, when we connect with our true heart’s desire and the deeper wisdom within, (not just what we think we want) we can reach greater levels of satisfaction, joy, peace and fulfillment. This sense of well-being and wholeness has a far-reaching ripple effect in all areas of our lives. It allows for a deeper level of connection to ourselves and to all that is around us. Supporting people on their path to connect with greater levels of wholeness is the cornerstone of my work and thus, the birth of Bridges to Wholeness.
