With so many resources available, I offer the following links to people and organizations that I know and trust.
I work out of the office of East Village Holistic Therapies with other very talented, compassionate and progressive counselors who focus on body, mind and spirit. They include Ashley Torrent, who is not only an insightful and experienced counselor but also an exceptional Reiki practitioner; Mary Myers also teaches MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) workshops; Caty Shannon has extensively studied Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Therapy and Coaching; Lair Torrent is a Marriage and Family therapist and leads a weekly men’s anger group.
Julie Winter has been my mentor and teacher for over ten years. I have unending love and gratitude for her and all of her wisdom and guidance.
Ione is a mentor, gifted healer, therapist and artist. She is a beautiful human and a role model for me.
Dr. Jada Turco is a holistic psychiatrist. She is board certified in Psychiatry and Neurology and completed her residency training at NYU School of Medicine. She works with adults and adolescents who are interested in a unique and integrative approach to mental health and well being. Dr. Turco is a one-of-a-kind psychiatrist who isn’t afraid to think and work out of the box of textbook psychiatry.
Helix is the 4-year program that I trained through. This will give you more information on my educational background.
The NY Shamanic Circle hosts 3 public circles monthly. There is an Open Circle, Healing Circle and a Women’s Circle. There is also a Film Circle that is hosted a little less frequently. I attend the Open Circle as often as I can and find the journeying to be creative and healing. You can bring your own drum or rattle or they have rattles there for you to use. Even if you’ve never done journeying this is a comfortable place to begin. They are also a good resource for Shamanic workshops, events and healers.
