A Path Toward Renewal

Are you feeling constrained by old patterns? Are you exhausted from maintaining tight control over emotions, avoiding emotionally intense topics, and trying to maintain balance in relationships that drain rather than inspire?

Imagine:

  • Feeling relaxed and self-assured, even in challenging situations.

  • Rediscovering your creative side through art, writing, and playful exploration.

Creativity and Faith in Healing

Healing involves reflection, creativity, and hope. Techniques like simple drawings, visualization, and expressive writing help uncover fresh perspectives.

For those who identify as Christian, incorporating faith into the coaching process provides additional support for navigating life’s challenges with hope and purpose.

Angela’s approach invites you to explore new tools to calm your body, reflect on your needs, and express yourself with clarity and confidence.

Are you counseling or discipling people who have a hard time taking action or holding ideas in mind? This training offers guidance on how to use neurographic drawing and basic coaching techniques to help people calm down, grasp new concepts, and move toward change.

Workshops

Do you have a group that is serving a difficult population? Understanding the basics of trauma and trauma-informed care can help your organization respond well to mental-health situations and know when to refer people to psychological versus psychiatric care.
