The Inner Compass - IC®

The Inner Compass approach (IC®) is a transformative, evidence-based approach that integrates imagery, dream exploration, and cognitive-emotional flexibility to support deep healing and meaningful growth.

Drawing from the Clarity & Resilience, Living Imagery and Reflective Dream Processes, IC® helps individuals tap into their inner wisdom, release emotional blockages, and expand self-awareness.

Grounded in both ancient traditions and modern psychological science, IC® recognizes imagery as the mind’s natural language—a powerful tool for healing, self-exploration, and personal empowerment. Through active engagement with evolving mental images, guided dream work, and cognitive restructuring, this approach supports individuals in breaking free from limiting thought patterns, regulating emotions, and fostering deeper interpersonal connections.

Clarity & Resilience Process

Mental, Emotional & Personal Well-being

The Clarity & Resilience Process is a structured yet flexible psychoeducational approach designed to cultivate mental clarity, emotional balance, and personal growth. By integrating mindful self-awareness, emotional regulation, and purposeful action, this process empowers individuals to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.

Dynamic Imagery Process

Unlock the Transformative Power of Your Mind

The Dynamic Imagery Process is a living, interactive engagement with imagery that transcends static visualization. Rather than following scripted constructs, it invites spontaneous, evolving images that reflect and transform one’s inner state. This process fosters deep self-awareness, emotional integration, and cognitive clarity, serving as a bridge between perception and transformation. By engaging with these living images, individuals unlock profound insights, release emotional blockages, and cultivate a heightened sense of presence and well-being.

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.
