Welcome to Inner Compass (IC®)

Find clarity.   Feel stronger.  Live with purpose.

 

When life feels overwhelming, disconnected, or stuck, the first step toward change is coming back to yourself: your inner compass.

 

The IC® approach is a flexible, supportive process that helps you:

  • Manage difficult emotions, such as anxiety, anger, or sadness
  • Navigate relationship challenges and communication blocks
  • Build emotional strength in your personal and professional life
  • Unlock creativity and feel more connected to your inner resources
  • Heal from stress, trauma, or loss
  • Move through life transitions with clarity and confidence

Together, we work with simple but powerful tools, such as guided reflection, mental imagery, dream exploration, and cognitive techniques, always tailored to you and your needs.

Clarity & Resilience Process

A clear mind. A steady heart. A stronger you

Strengthen emotional balance, set healthier boundaries, and develop habits of clarity and inner calm.

Through guided reflection, emotional awareness, and small but purposeful actions, you’ll learn how to respond to life’s challenges with more calm, confidence, and resilience,  instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. This is a flexible approach that helps you understand your patterns, strengthen your boundaries, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

Dynamic Imagery Process

Unlock insight and change

Work with the natural language of your mind — images — to uncover insight, release emotional blocks, and create real change.

This process helps you connect with spontaneous inner images that reflect your thoughts, emotions, and deeper needs. Instead of being guided to imagine something specific, we allow your own images to emerge naturally. These images can offer clarity, release emotional blocks, and shift stuck patterns, creating space for healing, growth, and new perspectives.

Reflective Dream Process

Discover the wisdom within your dreams

Explore your dreams as living, meaningful experiences that offer guidance, healing, and connection to your deeper self.

Dreams often hold powerful messages about what we feel, need, or long for. The Reflective Dream Process helps you explore your dreams in a way that feels alive and meaningful. Rather than interpreting dreams as fixed symbols, this process invites you to interact with them as personal experiences. This process offers clarity, emotional healing, and a deeper connection to your inner world.

I felt wonderful. I feel very fortunate that my dream was read. The experience was wonderful and worth it. I also believe that this is a powerful self-awareness tool. It’s amazing how much wisdom our subconscious has and how well it can inform us. After what I’ve experienced with you during the three lessons, I believe it’s necessary to record our dreams.
