Understanding Attachment Styles

What is an "Attachment Style"?

An attachment style forms from early relationships and profoundly influences how we connect with others. These patterns govern our approach to love, trust, and intimacy in all relationships.

These include:

Anxious Attachment – “The Love Addict”
Constantly seeking reassurance and emotional closeness.

Dismissive Avoidant Attachment – “The Lone Wolf”
Independent and self-reliant, often avoids emotional intimacy.

Fearful Avoidant Attachment – “The Hot & Cold”
Torn between wanting closeness and fearing vulnerability.

Secure Attachment – “The Balanced Soul”
Confident in giving & receiving love, creating healthy & fulfilling relationships.

Yes, attachment styles are not permanent. By engaging the subconscious mind – the root of where all change takes place – with intentional work and guidance, anyone can shift from insecure to secure attachment, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Understanding your attachment style is a profound step toward healing, especially on a spiritual journey like yours, which helps you build more secure, fulfilling relationships, including a deeper, more respectful connection to your Self.

No attachment style is inherently bad; each reflects survival strategies developed in childhood. Recognizing and understanding your style is the first step towards growth and healthier relationships.

The Role of the Subconscious Mind

What is the "Subconscious Mind"?
It is the part of your mind that holds 95% of your beliefs, thoughts, emotions, actions, and decisions. It’s a memorized set of patterns you learned in early childhood that shaped the way you interpret your world and determine what feels safe. Unlike the conscious mind, which processes through words and logic, the subconscious mind is felt in the body and accessed through images and emotions, deeply influencing how you experience life on an unconscious level.

Targeting the subconscious mind allows us to address the root causes of emotional and behavioral patterns quickly, to creating profound, lasting change in thoughts, habits, and how clients relate to themselves and others.

By learning how to target the SCM (which is felt in the body), we can begin to reprogram the core wounds and unmet needs that shaped your insecure attachment patterns.

Through techniques like guided visualization, mindfulness, and specific breathing exercises, we can access the subconscious mind to reprogram outdated beliefs and foster healthier behaviors.

By learning how to target the SCM (which is felt in the body), we can begin to reprogram the core wounds and unmet needs that shaped your insecure attachment patterns. This process helps you build healthier boundaries, communicate more effectively, and regulate your nervous system and emotions. Over time, you’ll develop new coping mechanisms that support secure, thriving relationships – and thus skyrocket you toward secure attachment!

The Power of Feminine Energy

What is "Feminine Energy"?
Feminine energy embodies flow, intuition, creativity, and empathy, playing a vital role in emotional balance and existing within everyone, regardless of gender. It is deeply felt in the body, just like the subconscious mind, which it naturally connects to. Activating feminine energy allows you to access the subconscious, unlocking deep-seated emotions and patterns through sensation, imagery, and intuitive awareness rather than logic alone.

Activating feminine energy helps balance our life approach, enhancing our capacity for relationship, empathy, and self-care, and allowing for a fuller, more harmonious life.

Engaging in activities that connect you to your body and emotions—such as yoga, meditation, or creative arts—helps strengthen your feminine energy and deepen your self-awareness. Since feminine energy is felt in the body, these practices allow you to tap into your emotional inner world, fostering intuition, self-trust, and a deeper connection to yourself beyond logic and thought.

Absolutely, feminine energy is not limited by gender. It embodies qualities like intuition, nurturing, and empathy, which are essential for everyone. Embracing feminine energy allows men to explore a fuller range of emotions and relationships, fostering greater personal balance and deeper connections with others. Encouraging men to engage with their feminine side can lead to more emotional fulfillment and harmony in life.

Men in my coaching practice have expressed feeling a significant reduction in lifelong anxiety by learning how to get into their body and reprogramming outdated limiting beliefs.

Holistic Wellness Explained

What does "Holistic Wellness" involve?

Spiritual Wellness is about learning how to get into your BODY mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually:

Mentally: Getting into your body mentally is learning how to hear your inner thoughts, dialogue, and intuition. By cultivating mental clarity, you become more attuned to your own inner guidance and wisdom.

Emotionally: It’s also about learning to feel and articulate the emotions and sensations in your body, allowing yourself to process your feelings rather than suppressing them. This opens the door to greater emotional health and balance.

Physically: Keeping your body well is essential to spiritual wellness. This includes getting in tune with physical sensations like energy levels, fatigue, soreness, and hunger, but also paying close attention to gut health. Gut health is directly connected to nervous system regulation and reducing anxiety. When your gut and body are healthy, it’s easier to connect with your inner self, feel grounded, and hear your intuition clearly.

Spiritually: Spiritually, wellness means connecting with your higher self and aligning with a greater sense of purpose. This connection raises your energetic vibration and enables you to live with more intention, joy, and ease.

I incorporate practices that boost spiritual wellness, such as meditation, mindfulness, and guided introspection, to help clients align more closely with their true selves and get into their body.

While respectful of all beliefs, spiritual wellness in my coaching focuses on non-denominational, personal growth practices that enhance inner peace and self-understanding.

The Importance of Gut Health

Why focus on gut health in emotional coaching?
Your gut is often called your “second brain” because of its deep connection to your nervous system, which is also linked to your subconscious mind—the place where anxiety originates. By healing your gut, you support nervous system regulation, creating a sense of safety in the body. This not only helps reduce anxiety but also grants deeper access to your subconscious mind, allowing you to rewire limiting patterns and cultivate emotional balance.

On a spiritual level, taking care of your gut and eating clean, nourishing foods helps you connect to your intuition and higher self. When your body feels well, it’s easier to hear and trust your inner voice.

By cleaning up your nutrition & healing your gut, you’re fast-tracking your body’s ability to heal, paving the way for deeper emotional transformation.

Distinguishing My Approach from Therapy

How does your coaching differ from traditional therapy?

While traditional therapy often focuses on unpacking past experiences and memories, my coaching is designed to support your healing in the present by taking actionable steps that provide immediate relief and long-term emotional resilience to help you reconnect with your inner world and move toward secure attachment.

Together, we identify your limiting beliefs and unmet needs – the cause of all emotional pain and suffering and use techniques such as subconscious reprogramming, breathwork, restorative yoga, and gut health practices to shift them. This somatic approach helps you get into your body, regulate your nervous system, and recondition your attachment style so you can feel secure and soul-aligned.

Therapy focuses on unpacking unconscious material from the past, helping you process deep-seated experiences and emotions. In contrast, my work centers on accessing the subconscious mind and reconditioning the patterns that are actively shaping your present. While therapy brings awareness to what has been, I guide you through practical steps to shift those patterns in real time, empowering you to step into a life that aligns with your true Soul Self.

My Doctoral Research

What is your doctoral research focused on?

“We are in desperate need of wholehearted leaders
who are self-aware enough to lead from both their
heart and mind rather than unevolved leaders
who lead from hurt and fear.”

~ Dr. Brene Brown

My doctoral research is in Mindfulness for Kindergarteners in Public Education, where I conducted a year-long qualitative case study exploring the possible emergence of prosocial and relational leadership qualities in a mindfulness-based kindergarten classroom.

As a lifelong anxiety sufferer, I often wondered how my life might have been different if I had been taught to breathe as a child. Not that I had a tumultuous childhood, though perhaps this would have given me the language to describe how I was feeling, along with tools to help me regulate. This realization became the “north star” of my research and has guided my journey along the way.

What has become clear as day to me is how being in a dysregulated state affects my ability to lead and be present with others. When I’m in anxious, agitated state, I tend to resort to micromanaging where I’m controlling and irritable. Yet when I’m grounded and centered, I’m relaxed, receptive, I can think clearly, and I’m able to be present with others.

My research suggests that fostering self-regulation practices along with emotional literacy – beginning at the age of 5 – may support developing the capacity for relational leadership qualities of emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and prosocial behavior – all of which are deemed as necessary for leadership of the 21st century, and have been shown to be enacted through a mindfulness practice.

The intersection looks like this: Being in a state of presence and awareness (mindfulness) while interacting with and influencing others (emotional & social intelligence) may promote a higher sense of caring and concern for others (prosocial behavior) and affect the way the group leads (relational leadership).
Imagine if all children learned the vernacular and functionality of identifying, labeling, and feeling their emotions and were given tools to self-regulate.

This may lead into becoming adults who are equip to mindfully manage their emotions, who can be in relationship with others where they’re not leading from a place of hurt and fear.

Of course, mindfulness is not the universal panacea and will not resolve all the complex problems within the world. I am not suggesting relational leadership is the one and only way to lead or would work in all contexts – it won’t – but what it could do is promote awareness for how we influence others by being mindfully aware about how we act, talk, speak, involve, and affect others.

My hope is that eventually all public-school classrooms would incorporate some form of age-appropriate mindfulness practice to support an emotionally healthier population of future leaders who value prosociality and relational capacity.

It has been an honor and a privilege to contribute my energy, passion, insight, fervor, and zest into this amazing field of early childhood relational leadership development and to advocate for the advancement of research for mindfulness as a potential strategy for enacting emotional/social intelligence and prosociality in the kindergarten population.

If what Robert Fulgham says is true that “all I ever need to know I learned in kindergarten,” perhaps this phrase will go on to include learning to become mindful and emotionally intelligent children, who learn to become mindful, emotionally intelligent adults, and thus, mindful, emotionally intelligent leaders with strong prosocial and relational capacity.
