Heart Path Therapy®

Heart Path Therapy®: Mission Statement

We seek to help people heal through a heart-felt transformational process that both awakens their intuitive wisdom of body, mind, and spirit and empowers them to embrace and use their gifts for creating purposeful lives.

We encourage people seeking our guidance to participate in a supportive community that integrates wisdom from sacred traditions of humanity that honor the earth and all its beings.

We cultivate love, respect, and compassion in our practitioners so that they also embrace their gifts and use them to help and inspire those seeking their help. We train therapists and coaches in the Heart Path Therapy® methodology to inspire their transformation and spiritual guidance in order to offer high quality services to others.

What is Heart Path Therapy®?

Heart Path Therapy® integrates evidence based transformational approaches, bringing together many of the best spiritual, emotional, somatic, and imaginative forms of psychotherapy.

This includes Emotion-Focused Therapy, Inner Childwork, Family Constellations, spirituality including prayer, guided imagery, and energy psychology. They are a powerful way to release the unconscious emotional blocks to change our perceptions and feelings in the present when applied with love and intuition. It is then possible to release depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the effects of childhood trauma. HPT therapists are experientially trained to use these approaches in their own lives to develop their intuitive understanding of their clients and in turn apply these tools from the heart.

Heal your heart. Light your path.

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.”– Edith Wharton

Follow Your Dreams

Emotional challenges, low self confidence, and relationship difficulties stem from not knowing the answer to these questions:

... What is your value? Your gifts?
... your purpose in life?

It is early life challenges that lead to the not knowing, but the Heart Path healing process to discover these answers can be so profound....to see your value, your inner love, and your gifts awakens the heart to love life and release suffering.

Let’s put the pieces of the mirror of your broken heart together, so that your reflections can emit the love and light that was meant to be....

”I feel like there is a light–it’s like, you want to look into the sun but the light is so bright you need to look away and then you want to give thanks because you are not lost anymore..” and with gratitude, “you put purpose back in my life when I had none....” – Quote from client

With Heart Path Therapy®, many clients have been able to release emotional chains and open the door to a freer life.

How Can You Really Change... that is, release the pattern of emotional pain and really live life fully?

Finding and following your inner truth, to know and follow what it is that can give your life meaning, to open to the ability to know love, and give and receive love that nurtures... these are the qualities that clients finally experience after receiving Heart Path Therapy® that integrates many deeply spiritual or emotional and imaginative forms of psychotherapy.

More than “talk therapy” it involves communicating with the very feelings that have gotten in your way...yes, the hurts. You have already tried to “talk yourself out of them” to survive, but as you know it hasn’t dissolved them, only helped you cope for a while.

You have the capacity to go deeper, if you wish, to a place inside that can actually heal the hurts, as long as you have a therapeutic relationship that is deeply supportive in your journey there. We have taken thousands on this deep and life-changing journey.

Pathway to Healing

The irony of mainstream healthcare in our society is that there is so much "hard" complex work with risky drugs and surgery. Even the mental health realm includes complex diagnoses and approaches. Alternative health is so much lower risk with a kind of philosophical simplicity that honors the power of the person's innate ability to heal. Mainstream medicine has its place when symptomatic relief is needed, or to save a life including the treatment of more severe conditions, but deeper healing, for the whole person, is found in the realm of alternative health.

Heal and Come Home to Inner Safety in Your Heart

All emotional and psychological struggles including depression, anxiety, and patterns of painful life circumstances, stem from losing a connection to love early in one’s family of origin. When we heal, we are inspired by real love that connects us to the beauty of life. This includes a natural flow of giving and receiving from the heart, the very essence of who we are. Realizing our wholeness as part of creation itself, we awaken to fulfill our purpose or “mission” on earth. Then we can relax as we find home in our hearts and meaning in our lives.
