I am thrilled to share this super exciting news. I was featured in Saturday June 21st National Post (an extremely reputable nationwide newspaper in Canada) in the Body and Mind section, they did a full page article on the benefits of phone therapy. It's a special moment for me and one that I am so happy to be able to share with all of you. You can read it here until i get a decent PDF posted:

THE CARAVAN: MEDITATIONS FOR EMOTIONAL HEALING
As many of you know and some of you are just finding out, I have been in New York for the past two years working on a meditation project with my creative partner Diana Kazakova, the other half of our company, The Caravan Group. We are gearing up to launch our 7 CD Meditation Set. The CD Set is called The Caravan: Meditations for Emotional Healing and we are so excited that it will soon be available to the public. We have spent the last two years creating, producing and recording these cd's and the companion book and it's really rewarding to see it all coming together at long last. The CD's are based around the 7 chakras or healing centers. I originally came up with the idea because I wanted a way for both myself and my clients to work on our stuff in addition to just talking about it. It is a meditative and musical experience that really helps clear, heal and transform all areas of our lives. Our new website is up now, though still in rustic form: www.thecaravangroup.com Please sign up to our email list so we can alert you when the cd's become available for purchase! A big thanks to everyone who has been involved and supporting us through the process of making this concept come to life, it's been a life changing experience and one that I am so grateful for. I actually listen to the cd's myself on a nearly daily basis and have found them to be an amazing tool for grounding, softening and inspiring myself. A beautiful reminder to take time for oneself, hope you get a chance to enjoy them as I continue to!

PHONE THERAPY FAQ'S
Here are some FAQ's people generally ask me about therapy:
How long will it take?
Therapy works as fast as you do. It takes a little time to build trust and get comfortable but most of my clients feel a difference from the first session. It is always at a pace that YOU are comfortable with. You are the captain of this ship.
How often should i book my sessions?
Most people book once a week (at least at the beginning to get the ball rolling). After you get into a groove, it is always good to keep checking in for maintenance every few weeks. Again, everyone is different and you get to choose what is right for you.
How much does it cost?
I have a sliding scale starting at $65 going to $100 with a special rate for students. I use the honor system, for clients to choose what range they are comfortable with, as everyone has different financial possibilities. I am certainly more flexible about the rate depending on how often we speak. Please note: i have never turned anyone away who wanted therapy but couldn't afford the top rate.
Is it totally confidential?
YES. Absolutely. Unless i am subpoenaed by a court, your sessions are completely confidential. The other exception is if you are hurting yourself (suicidal) or if you are abusing someone else physically or sexually, then i am required by law to report the harmful activity to the authorities.
Is therapy covered by insurance?
Some plans do and some don't. Most don't because it is psychotherapy and not psychology or psychiatry.
Can you prescribe medication?
No. I am not a doctor.
What will we talk about?
Each session is different, and whatever you are sitting with at the time is where we start. It is much better to have a consultation, as it is quite difficult to describe in writing what happens. Consultations are free!
