FAQ
About Our Services
Q: Is this like getting therapy?
A: Yes it is, but it’s a blend of approaches and techniques, so it’s not considered “traditional” therapy. There are so many different approaches to counseling, therapy, and coaching, such as massage therapy, behavioral therapy, integrative or holistic therapy, EMDR, psychotherapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, and so on. All evolved to help us to be our best physical and emotional selves. As a trained and experienced Alternative therapist, I love being part of this professional community as it takes all kinds to help us get to where we need to be.
Q: What are your qualifications?
A: I have an extensive and diverse background establishing my qualifications. This includes formal education in medical and integrative medicine and 30 years of professional experience taking care of others. For over 20 years I have developed incredibly successful training programs, healing practices, and business practices giving me the ability to help others (and myself) to thrive. Please visit my About page for more details.

Q. You mention working with horses as a method to help with healing. Are horses always involved, and if so, does that mean in-person sessions only?
A. Horses can be used to help with healing in various ways and is always recommended; it can be a profound experience and lead to self-discovery. However, the presence of a horse is not required to work with me, and I help people over Zoom as well.
Q: How often will you work with me?
A: Every one of my clients has their own personal needs and together we will figure out what that is for you. You may only spend 1 or 2 days with me during a group workshop, or you may want to have regular one-on-one weekly sessions with me.

A: Whether you come to my group sessions or have a one-on-one session, it’s all about you. All I ask is that you come to me open to receiving healing and ready for changing your perceptions of self.
Q: I have a friend (family member, co-worker, etc.) who could really use some help. How do I convince them to get help from you?
A: Please share with them my website. While we may want change for someone, we need to respect their path and choices. Perhaps they will connect with me or perhaps my website will inspire other options for them. I maintain a safe and approachable space for anyone who would like to inquire with me.
Q: Do you work with (drug, alcohol, or other) addicts?
A: I do. I help people struggling with addiction to identify the source of pain and find ways to heal those wounds by tapping into their higher selves. I do this through either an Alternative, Complementary or Integrative approach.
Q: What does being a medium mean?
A: Being a medium means having the natural ability to communicate and receive information with the spirit world.
There are many different types of mediums, and each medium has their unique way of connecting with spirit. They will utilize different tools including clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), and clairsentience (clear feeling).
Mediumship is a complex and personal experience, and there is no single approach to being a medium. Nonetheless, all mediums possess a shared desire to help others and to connect them with the spirit world, providing the opportunity to help people in a very profound way.
My mediumship gives me the ability to see the root cause of pain in people and animals. Additionally, I can connect telepathically with animals and assist in the transition process of people passing on.
Q: What does “harnessed core” mean?
A: Harness: To bring under conditions for effective use; to employ the energy or potential power of. Core: The central, innermost, or most essential part of you.
Here at The Harnessed Core, we are identifying and utilizing your very own source of internal energy and strength for continued health and healing.
