Spiritual Support

Adriana has a strong spiritual orientation in her work.  She incorporates tools that stem from her training in hypnotherapy and somatics that include relaxation techniques, dream recall, active imagination and meditation. She encourages the individual to access their soul aspects by connecting to the issues beyond the apparent physical, emotional or psychological symptoms. By approaching the root of the ‘problem’ by accessing memories, dreams and old trauma, individual sessions can help to transform and reclaim the healthy and soul 'full' parts of the personality. This work is useful for all types of issues including addictions, depression, anxiety disorders, compulsive behaviors, as well as providing clarity and support for life transitions.

Adriana values the twelve-step model that is used in recovery from addictions.  She has found from her own personal experience with recovery that the twelve step concepts provide invaluable tools for developing a spiritual life that is grounded in action and service.
