Our Mission

To guide people through the process of uncovering, accepting, and transforming the deep-seated, self-defeating beliefs that shape our perceptions and our emotional experiences of reality; and to help individuals, families, and communities develop trust in their Authentic Self to heal and renew relationships.

Our Approach

At The Center for Heart-Mind Coherence, we teach heart-centered and inter-relational approaches to recognizing and integrating distressing emotional energies that keep us reliving traumas of the past and reenacting self-defeating habits.

We integrate spiritual wisdom across the ages with the latest research on heart-intelligence, interpersonal neurobiology, and trauma, to develop emotional resilience and competencies for relating with self and others meaningfully and authentically, with dignity and compassion. We are dedicated to participating in the quickening of love-centered intuitive intelligence to heal intergenerational and transgenerational trauma.

We define trauma less in terms of the actual event, and more in terms of its impact on a person’s nervous system. Trauma then is understood in light of the nervous system’s best available original response to an overwhelming event, the smartest course of action possible at the time (which may include fight, flight, freeze, or fix). These initial emotional- behavioral reactions to overwhelm and distress, unless processed and integrated, keep looping in the nervous system, long after circumstances no longer warrant the originally deployed smart survival coping mechanisms, and keep us stagnant and stuck, re-enacting self-defeating patterns.

We offer workshops designed to help individuals, families, and communities uncover and transform the deep-seated beliefs (imprints) and accompanying stuck emotional energies that keep us in repetitive survival modes of flight, fight, freeze, or fix; and develop the practice of calming and aligning emotional and mental energies for creative living.

Self-defeating imprints are activated and strengthened by core emotional addictions to security, power-control, sensation, and struggle. These emotional habits keep us in reactive states until we notice and meet them, and through the practice of heart-focused attention, transform their energy into wisdom, clear thinking, and responsible (response-able) action.

Our guided process leads participants through self-reflective work and writing, practices in heart-centered breathing exercises applied to distressing emotions, as well as creative and contemplative practices that re-imagine old stagnant stories of distress into new thriving stories. Each component builds on the other to guide individuals through layers of emotional work that uncovers self-defeating imprints and transforms the core emotional addictions developed around old wounds.
