The Wintering Sessions

“Only there will you find
the tiny seed
that holds the whole mystery of you
and cradle it
in the warmth of your body
until the spring.”

FROM MY POEM “WINTERING”

It’s time to reconnect with the parts of yourself that make you come alive.

Life’s winters are hard, but they’re also an invitation. They invite you to tap into the parts of yourself you’ve lost touch with—parts that hold the seeds of a new spring.

The Wintering Sessions give you compassionate coaching for that tender work of reconnection. Using the proven process of Internal Family Systems, you’ll tap into the gifts you need to step into a new, wholehearted season of life.

There are seasons when life stops working.

When all your momentum sputters to a stop. When the road that looked so clear ahead of you dissolves into uncertainty.

These winters of life can be really lonely. Like there’s no way to even pick a direction to go, much less find the juice to go there. But when you look closely, these seasons all have one thing in common:

The person you’ve become to make it this far can’t take you any farther.

Somehow you need to tap into something new. The only problem is there doesn’t seem to be anything around to tap into…

But that’s exactly the fierce invitation winter’s giving you.

By removing all the other sources we’d usually lean on, winter gives you no choice but to look inside yourself and see what might be waiting to be discovered.

And what I’ve found to be true is what these lines from my poem “This Is Not The End” try to capture:

“…there is more in you
longing to break open,
to pour out,
to mingle
with the soil of life.”

We all have parts of ourselves that didn’t fit in previous seasons.

Parts weren’t acceptable to the people you relied on. Parts that got ridiculed or shamed. Parts you had to backburner so you could hustle to build yourself a safety net.

And there’s nothing wrong with that. It was a perfectly good and natural way to protect yourself and get your needs met.

But when we cut ourself off from those vulnerabilities, we also lose access to their strengths.

And here’s the magic of it:

The gifts waiting in these lost and wounded parts of yourself are exactly the ones you need to step into a new springtime of life.

The invitation of winter is to reconnect with those parts. To welcome them back into the whole of you. And to nurture their gifts as they bloom into a new, wholehearted season of life.

That might all sound a little ambiguous. It did to me, too, until I encountered Internal Family Systems.

IFS is a process developed by psychologist Richard Schwartz to discover the parts of yourself that were “exiled” earlier in life, and rebuild a compassionate connection with them.

As you do that, you unlock your dormant creativity, courage, and confidence to make a new path forward.

The Wintering Sessions are coaching sessions rooted in Internal Family Systems. I guide you step-by-step through the whole process of finding and reconnecting with the parts of you that need your attention. And together we chart your practical steps towards spring.

I put together a few different Wintering Session options for people with different needs. You can check them out here:

I’ve walked dozens of clients through a process I call compassionate self-reconnection to unlock their dormant strengths and qualities.

I’ve seen clients…

• Rediscover their creativity
• Feel a surge of long-forgotten confidence
• And have courageous conversations they’d been putting off for months or even years

Then together we plan action steps that embody these qualities, so you can open up a new chapter that includes more of what you love and long for.

Here’s how a few of my clients describe it…

Book your Wintering Sessions and sow the seeds of a new spring in your life.

This is the kind of work that’s easy to put off for years—or even decades. And let’s be honest: most of us have.

But like Anaïs Nin said, there comes a time when the risk of staying closed is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom. If that time has come in your life, these sessions are here to support you:

The Wintering Sessions will be open for registration through February 13th, or until my practice fills up.
