Types of Therapy
At this time, I am offering what I am following through with as "four quarters." The whole of this offering is inspired by the four portions of the Yoga-Sūtras of Patañjali. As I continue through with these modalities, I continue to emphasize aspects of yoga studies, while now these quarters are also grounded in Jungian analysis, parts work, cosmology and astrology.
