Changing patterns
Karina Kopunek, who has trained in a variety of healing modalities, has arrived at a method that allows her to slip in past the veils of the conscious and subconscious mind. Working within your parameters of safety, she finds the places where your operating beliefs are preventing you from living life fully, articulates them, and then works with you to modify and transform them. She's helped me swiftly shift deeply rooted patterns -- and she's really fun, too. www.theheartofwellness.com
Self-defense
If you’re happy, healthy, and spiritually aware, it would be nice
not to have a thug take you out. I highly recommend the self-defense
seminars offered by Dawn Callan and her team; they’re terrific.
Training with Dawn was one of the keys that led to my Emei Qigong
practice. Learning to defend yourself physically is a powerful metaphor
for taking care of yourself on all levels.

Counseling/mediation
Sandee
Henry, MFCC, is co-director of the Laurel Center in San Francisco,
which offers a range of services from psychotherapy and conflict
mediation to work/life balance seminars. Working with Sandee, I began
to learn how to accept myself, flaws and all, because
she accepted me, flaws and all. Sandee is an extremely caring,
compassionate woman and a joy to work with.

Buddhist meditation
The
Bay Area is fortunate to have a number of venues for deepening one’s
understanding of Buddhism. I am personally grateful to the teachers,
staff, and volunteers at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in west Marin
County.
