STRESS! It’s everywhere, and sometimes we don’t even know we have it. Some is good, but too much is bad. Most of all, it’s different for everyone. What keeps you up at night? Do you wonder, “why is this happening to me, where is this coming from, why can’t I just … am I a bad person?” Or, maybe you procrastinate by doing everything else to avoid doing what you should be doing. Stress can show up physically too; low energy, random pains, chronic pain, hair loss, gut issues, skin issues, weight

fluctuation, food allergies, addictions, depression, anxiety…Do you feel like you’ve tried everything? Have you tried NET? You’ve made it this far and you’re doing great! The fact that you’re reading this means there’s hope and you are ready to try something new. However stress is showing up for you, we can get to the bottom of it together.

We are always safe in service.

When we are born, we are a blank slate until we learn things from our environment. We form our thoughts and behavior patterns from all the experiences we have and from the people around us. There’s no wrong behavior, there is only learned behavior. That saying “it runs in the family” or “it’s genetic” can be true but it doesn’t have to keep running in the family. You have the power to change all of it for the better. With NET we can get to the source of those behaviors, bring awareness and understanding, and give ourselves the ability to choose something different.

Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses our understanding.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family, learning dysfunctional models. But I saw how things could be from other couples and families. I yearned for better, but I couldn’t figure out how. Hours and Hours of counseling helped but I wanted more, I needed things to change faster so I could have more peace in my life. Everything changed when I was given NET, so I made a career change. And then the doors flew

wide open when I added nutrition and relationship coaching. For lack of better words, I feel I can truly live now.

I am in my last year of Grad School at Touro University Worldwide and finishing the last two months of relationship coach training for Laura Doyle. Spiritually, I am Christian. Currently, I am certified in NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) and a certified nutrition coach through Precision Nutrition).

What is NET? In a nutshell, NET is a method of processing the mental and physical aspects of an unresolved stress pattern. Through manual muscle testing and the small act of just remembering a trauma or thinking about a distressing object, NET allows the client to find and correct the stress patterns with “pinpoint accuracy and unprecedented speed.” What does muscle testing look like? It looks like person A holding their arm out, and person B applying some pressure above person A’s wrist. While the pressure is being applied, person A need only resist person B with equal pressure. Person A’s arm will either remain strong or go weak. For more information on NET, please visit www.netmindbody.com.

"NET is a gentle and holistic tool to help you release emotional baggage by addressing the mind and body symptoms of unresolved trauma"

My approach to healing is looking at a whole person, mentally, and physically. How we feel mentally and physically can have a large impact on how we handle stress. Addressing mental and physical concerns is how I treat myself and I wouldn’t suggest anything I haven’t done. Cognitively, I prefer a mix of Solution Focused Brief and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with coaching. What’s the difference between therapy and coaching? Only because these labels exist, I look at therapy as a way to process and understand, and coaching is the proactive approach to implementing life skills. Ideally, NET would play a part because I believe in it 100%, but it is not mandatory. If there is interest in the physical aspect beyond nutrition coaching, I can refer you to my personal experts. Ultimately, the choice is yours in who you work with, my main goal is helping you get to the life you want to live now, with or without me.
