Astrology is the study of the stars (the meanings), whereas astronomy is the laws of the stars (the facts). Astrology is ultimately the understanding that the cosmos are living, the universe has a mind, celestial holography is the nature of existence, and time is cyclical and has a quality to it, an experience.

Birth charts, also called natal charts, are the map of the cosmos at the exact moment and location of your birth - the energy and vibration the universe sounded at that very moment. It is your spherical coordinates in spacetime, and you are the celestial holographic projection of these coordinates here on Earth so infinity can know itself. A birth chart is the observer’s perspective.

This is the archetypal map of your subjective awareness. Where most psychology or personality frameworks simplify who you are, astrology allows you to walk through your authentic manyfold complexity.

You'll need to have your date, location, and time of birth.

I'm an archetypal and evolutionary astrologer, both psychological and spiritual, using the western tropical zodiac and primarily whole sign houses. I also incorporate Ancient Hellenistic Astrology and Jyotish (Vedic) Astrology.

My approach is a fusion across these styles, from ancient to modern, esoteric to psychological, and technical and intuitive. I work with archetypal energies and cyclical themes, so actual astrology and not simplistic generalizations. I importantly take a mindful and holistic approach.

I use evolutionary astrology, but I don't concoct past life narratives (feel free to ask me if you want to hear my rant on this). I talk about your soul journey, your spiritual journey towards meeting yourself, and time/space fluidity and you can interpret & integrate that however you choose.

Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal or spiritual psychology developed by Roberto Assagioli, a lesser-known contemporary of Carl Jung. Unlike psychoanalysis, however, psychosynthesis is not a perpetual analysis of the psyche and unconscious, but instead seeks to synthesize our conscious and unconscious layers to create inner harmony and importantly expand to higher consciousness states. The emphasis is on parts work, purpose, direction, and authentic will.

"Psyche" meant "soul" in Ancient Greek, but we've separated the two and lost the connection to the latter. Psychosynthesis reclaims our soulfulness and reintegrates this into our very being for true mind-body-spirit based self-healing.

If you are familiar with Inner Family Systems (IFS Therapy), Psychosynthesis created an earlier framework that is very similar in terms of parts work. Psychosynthesis encompasses various other tools, however, and is a much deeper and spiritual or holistic based modality. I am not an IFS Therapist but have studied and taken courses on that practice as well.

At its most ambitious and for those on a spiritual path who are ready to detach, Psychosynthesis is a framework for Self-Realization.

Breathwork can mean multiple things and I work with the breath from all ends of the spectrum!

Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System (BBTRS®) is a breathwork therapy I use that’s targeted specifically for trauma release. BBTRS uses conscious connected breathing, along with supportive touch and bodywork, sound, movement, and conscious emotional expression to activate the body's physiological responses and experience altered states of consciousness (psychedelic like) or more heart-centered states that ease the defensive outer layers to consciously release tension from the autonomic nervous system. Importantly, BBTRS as well as my approach work with this delicately, appropriately, and in line with your needs in the present moment - the focus is real healing, not over-activation or temporary catharsis which you see in most breathwork. This type of trauma release breathwork is more activating by design. 

Where the above is about releasing, I also utilize regulating forms of breathwork too, primarily resourcing from Buteyko breathing methods but also from western somatics generally. So if you're looking for a more gentle or corrective breathwork to regulate the emotional body and help ease anxiety, check out my private meditation training where we can work to breath right and ease the body-mind. Changing how we breathe, changes how our nervous system functions.

Additionally, I incorporate breathing methods that work with the energy channels, which are the channels of the autonomic nervous system! I do not typically use Pranayama and find it less helpful but I use primarily, among other intuitive techniques, Nejang, a Tibetan Buddhist (Vajrayana or Tantric) Healing Yoga which is based on somatic breath practices.

The objective is always the same, to regulate, connect, and revitalize our life force, the breath.

I teach trauma-informed practices that can be adapted to a range of experiences and needs. Thus, I can work with anyone on meditation, mindfulness techniques, and functional or corrective breathing exercises, going as gently as your history and present moment experience requires. We can even begin with more active or dynamic practices, so there is a range of ways we can approach this work.

For somatic and trauma-release oriented breathwork, there is a health history form you will need to complete, including reviewing contraindications which may determine that it's not a safe fit for you. We will always begin by discussing this form and what work and approach suits you best. You should always consult your primary care physician if unsure about your specific medical situation of course.

Please reach out using the contact form above for any questions and I'd be happy to help!

No, coaching and therapy are separate modalities. Coaching has more of an emphasis on conscious action and goals. My sessions are not the fluffy motivational kind of coaching though and my foundation is psychosynthesis, so is not superficial or just about hyping you up. My work is about exploring who you are before anything that's happened to you or before life's conditioning and opening fully to all your complexity and letting your intuition guide you.

Psychosynthesis in particular is about integrating the lower unconscious shadows and traumas with the higher unconscious ideals and future aspirations, and this is largely my approach.

I am not a psychologist, licensed therapist, or psychiatrist, and these services do not substitute for that type of medical care. The Cyclical Seed is alternative and contemplative, holistic healing, so not traditional by design.

You'll need to have an inner sense of motivation and willingness to do the work for sessions to be truly beneficial for you and a sense of real grounding and healing before true spiritual exploration, or it's just a delusion.

If I don't think we'd be a good fit working together or there is something out of my scope of work, I will be up front and kindly let you know.
