Prajna is a Sanskrit term that is translated as wisdom which includes conceptual and non-conceptual wisdom. Carol shares techniques with clients for tapping into their prajna. She helps clients walk through the walls of anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, and trauma to realign with strength and joy. For clients so interested she uses nature in the healing process. She has walking trails and some sessions are conducted under the trees for those who prefer.

The Patterns of life run deep and are expressed as our stories about self, other people and circumstances. Our emotions are the glue that hold our patterns in place and bind us to them. Through the reinforcing of our patterns, an insulating cocoon is formed. The PatternWork® is a Self Discovery process that utilizes mindfulness to help you come out of your cocoon and release the patterns that no longer serve you.
