About Skylar 

Philosophy

I believe our answers and truth reside within each of us. Clearing the pain of personal and ancestral history opens the channel to clearly hear one’s powerful inner guidance. This voice holds the truth and key to your power, passion, and purpose. My role is to guide you there.

Working collaboratively to free you from default downloads of family, culture, and society, allows you to gain the ability to live a life reflective of YOUR inner truth. Feeling and living an authentic and passionate life, at ease and comfortable in your skin, is not just for the “lucky few” – it’s everyone’s birth rite. 

Specialties, Modalities, & Focus

Three plus decades of practice and expertise have inspired my current model of working intensively with others. This allows individuals, couples and those living non-traditional relationships, to fully dive into the process and enjoy success far sooner than could be achieved in a traditional one-hour weekly session. I work compassionately and creatively with highly motivated clients who are ready for change - with laughter along the way.
