My Statement Of Intent
I named my company "Your Life Matters" just months before my daughter, Ilonna, died of a drug overdose. The name has significance. Every Life Matters.
To get myself out of the agony of the dark night of the soul after Ilonna died, I had to come back - to myself. The longer I lived in the loyalty of sorrow, the unhealthier I got. I slowly began to realize I had to pick up where I left off before Ilonna died. I had been putting together a "toolkit for letting go" - but this death was a double-edged sword. Before I could resume the work, I had to put it to the acid test in my own life by using it to climb out of the Dark Night of the Soul I had been living in for seven years. I lost my daughter. Then my friends disappeared because even though they all said, "Call me any time if you want to talk," they couldn't handle being around me. It was as if they were afraid it was contagious. And on some level it is: misery begets worse misery. And then, of course, I lost my relationship, my main support system, because that's what the death of a child often does. It tears apart the people who feel most responsible.
Yet, I had the training and the experience to end the suffering I was experiencing. I even knew how to take the first step. I had to make a decision to find a way out of that holed. The first thing that became clear is that Ilonna would not want me to suffer that way. The next thing I was sure about was that NO ONE should EVER have to suffer that much. Out of this was born what I call the Trauma Release MethodTM.
And then I remembered the power of group consciousness and how helping others sometimes helps the helper even more than the recipient. Out of this was born Creating Space for healing with a members only private group of those working with consciousness using the three pillars of practice that make up the method.
And finally, the last thing that tipped the balance was the realization that there are traumas so profound that no conventional therapy that will touch them. Only a new approach, a combination of many modalities, could address the somatic nature of intimate trauma because there is no separation between body, mind and spirit. I had been working with somatic modalities for years...
I then dove into a remembrance and review of my own professional skills in self-care and wellness. I branched out to include new information and trainings: a study of how naturally resilient people deal with adversity. I gathered up the tools that work, and The Trauma Release MethodTM was born. The Resilience Zone is a Portal, an entry point. Inside you is where the release happens, once you fully engage with the process.
I so hope you find the willingness within to try it!

About The Resilience Zone
The Resilience Zone - Regain Extraordinary
Inner Resourcefulness
Inner Resourcefulness
Enter the Resilience Zone, where consciousness itself - the very essence of human awareness - provides the impetus for moving beyond pain.
Nothing brings back a sense of being alive like the Awareness of Human Cellular Intelligence. Some 37 trillion cells per body, are each alive with their own conscious contact with divine intelligence. You derive your wellbeing from the life-giving attributes of somatic memory, the inner resource that knows you are not broken.
I conceived of The Resilience Zone as a way for you to regain the ability to tap into the state of consciousness - the unstoppable life force - the catalyst that morphed you from baby to adult. Out of great suffering - sometimes comes great healing. What makes the difference? Why do some wither away and others find a way through?
Somatic Intelligence. Your body doesn't just keep the score. It knows the score: it knows how to renew itself if given the right conditions.
In the same way that a wound can heal if it's kept clean, and dry, your psychic wounds can also heal from abuse, trauma, neglect, abandonment & being gas lit if provided with the right conditions. The Resilience Zone is your point of entry into a world where this is not only possible; it's the inevitable outcome of providing yourself with the right conditions. Relax. Renew. Rejuvenate.

In 2011, I sank into the ineffable, inexpressible grief of the mother who has had to watch her own daughter die in ICU from an overdose of heroin. Ironically, Ilonna died in a house full of young adults, all ignoring their own conscious intelligence, just months before graduating from with a degree from the University of Oregon. Yet, I was lucky. I had so much previous practice and training of self-observation that I could not completely succumb to the negative influence of grief. It became clear that the myth that it will hurt forever only begets the very horror it predicts. It became clear that the body had answers that talk therapy ignores. It became clear that self-expression is more profoundly accomplished in the creative process than it ever is in simply telling someone point blank what happened. Here are some images of my life with Ilonna. I hold her forever in my heart as a living, loving presence who blessed my life with her consciousness...
