About Heart~Centered Well Being

.

  • Heart-Centered Well Being is a place for practical, restorative resources and individualized support designed to help people better understand what they may be experiencing, recognize what may be influencing them, discern what is actually truth and theirs to carry, and discover healthy next steps toward greater Truth, Peace, Freedom, and connection.

    Some people come because they're overwhelmed or stuck. Others are dealing with boundaries, relationships, old patterns, the effects of the past, questions of faith, or simply wanting a healthier way forward.

    You don't have to know exactly what you need before you begin.

     

  • Quite a variety ~ which is one reason this FAQ page exists. 🙂

    You'll find practical guides, worksheets, journals, visual tools, step-by-step resources, faith and relationship resources, community-focused materials, Daily Rhythm resources, self-paced materials, free resources, and individualized support.

    Everything isn't meant for everybody. You're welcome to explore what speaks to where you are today, use what is helpful, and leave what isn't.

  • Start with what you're actually experiencing right now.

    What feels heavy?

    What keeps repeating?

    Where do you feel stuck?

    What are you carrying?

    What are you questioning?

    What would you like to understand better?

    You don't need to diagnose yourself or figure everything out first. Begin where you are and take one manageable next step.

  • Yes. Heart-Centered Well Being comes from a faith-based perspective grounded in relationship with our Creator, Truth, prayer, and the freedom we have been given to choose.

    At the same time, my desire is to help people from all walks of life.

    I don't believe in pressuring someone into a belief, forcing a spiritual formula, or overriding another person's choices.

    Some resources are explicitly faith-centered; others are practical resources that can be useful regardless of someone's faith background.

  • No. You're welcome to explore what's available and decide for yourself what is helpful and appropriate for you.

    Faith is an important part of the foundation of Heart-Centered Well Being, and some resources specifically explore relationship with God. Those resources are clearly faith-centered.

    Other materials focus more broadly on things we each tend to deal with in some way on a regular basis... such as boundaries, patterns, relationships, discernment, restoration, everyday rhythms, and practical next steps.

Questions About the Resources

.

  • Resources cover a growing variety of real-life areas including boundaries, relationships, identity, emotional patterns, caring without carrying, discernment, the influence of past experiences, restoration, Truth, Peace, Freedom, faith, healthy daily rhythms, community connection, and practical ways of moving forward.

    Some are short and simple. Others go much deeper. The idea isn't to give you more information to carry ~ it's to offer something you can actually use.

  • Yes. There is a growing collection of free resources as well as resources available for purchase.

    You're welcome to begin with the free materials and see what is helpful before deciding whether anything else is right for you.

  • Absolutely not.

    Most resources are designed to be used at your own pace, in your own timing, and according to your own readiness.

    Read a page.

    Try one practice.

    Sit with one question.

    Come back later.

    There is no prize for finishing in a certain time frame. 😉

  • Start with the free resources.

    Heart-Centered Well Being also has a Bridge Season Reserve, created to provide quiet, temporary support toward access to resources during a financially difficult season when funds are not available.

    The purpose isn't dependency or pressure. It's simply a way of helping someone through a season while honoring dignity, freedom, and personal responsibility.

  • No. Heart-Centered Well Being resources are educational, reflective, faith-based and/or restoration-oriented materials.

    They are not medical care, psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, or treatment and should not be used as a replacement for care from an appropriately licensed healthcare or mental-health professional when that care is needed.

Individual Support & Sessions

.

  • No.

    You may know exactly what you'd like to explore, or you may simply know that something feels stuck, heavy, confusing, repetitive, or out of balance.

    We can begin there.

    You don't have to arrive with the right words, a diagnosis, or everything figured out.

  • Sometimes the starting point is obvious. Other times there are several things going on at once.

    Rather than trying to tackle everything, we'll look at what seems most relevant and appropriate to explore.

    Prayer and discernment are part of how I personally approach this work, while your choices, boundaries, comfort, and freedom remain important throughout the process.

  • No. You are not required to tell your entire story, disclose details you don't want to discuss, or relive painful experiences.

    Sometimes understanding how the past may be influencing the present can be helpful, but that is different from forcing yourself back through everything that happened.

    You remain free to say yes, no, stop, slow down, or change direction.

  • No. Individual support through Heart-Centered Well Being is not psychotherapy, mental-health counseling, or psychiatric care.

    Some of the same areas of life may naturally come up ~ emotions, beliefs, relationships, past experiences, patterns, boundaries, or stress ~ but the service itself is not therapy.

    If something falls outside the scope of what I offer, I may encourage you to seek support from an appropriately qualified professional.

Body / Energy Work

.

  • While all sessions are down on the foundation of prayer, some individualized sessions may incorporate tools associated with the Emotion Code, Body Code, body awareness, muscle testing, reflection, and discernment.

    I use these as complementary restoration tools rather than methods for diagnosing disease or determining medical treatment.

    You are always welcome to ask what I'm doing, why I'm using a particular tool, or to decline something you aren't comfortable with.

  • People come with many different experiences or concerns ~ feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally burdened, disconnected, caught in repeating patterns, struggling with boundaries or relationships, or simply wanting greater understanding and clarity.

    We can explore what may be influencing your experience and identify supportive next steps.

    This is not the same as diagnosing or treating a medical or mental-health condition.

  • Muscle testing, sometimes called applied kinesiology in wellness settings, is one of the tools that may be used as part of body/energy-oriented work.

    Within the approach I use, it serves as a form of feedback while exploring possible areas for further attention. I do not use muscle testing to medically diagnose a condition, determine medical treatment, or replace appropriate testing or evaluation by a licensed healthcare professional.

  • The Emotion Code and Body Code are wellness systems developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson and associated with the idea that emotional and other imbalances may affect a person's well-being.

    I may use tools from these systems as part of complementary wellness work alongside prayer, discernment and other approaches.

    I do not use either system to diagnose disease, prescribe treatment, or replace medical or mental-health care.

  • That's okay.

    You don't have to agree with every idea or approach offered through Heart-Centered Well Being. Ask questions, consider what's being presented, and make your own decision about what is or isn't appropriate for you.

    There is no need to force yourself into something simply because it is offered here.

Medical / Health Questions

.

  • No.

    Heart-Centered Well Being does not offer medical diagnosis or treatment, psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, or a cure for medical or mental-health conditions.

    Restoration resources, prayer, body/energy-oriented approaches, reflection, education, and individualized support are intended to be complementary.

    If you have symptoms, a diagnosed condition, questions about medication, or concerns about your physical or mental health, please seek appropriate care from a qualified healthcare professional.

    Although I must add ... on a PURELY PERSONAL NOTE ... (from what I have personally experienced and seen, to varying degrees) that I  personally have no doubt in believing that God is capable of anything ♥️🙏🏻✨

Distance Sessions

.

  • Yes. All individual services are offered remotely.

    Prayer does not require us to be physically together, and the restoration approaches I use can also be incorporated into distance sessions within the framework in which I practice.

    I don't present distance energy work as medical diagnosis or treatment, and you're welcome to decide whether this type of approach is something you're comfortable with.

After A Session

.

  • Experiences vary from person to person.

    You may notice something meaningful right away, notice subtle changes over time, or not notice any particular change at all. There is no single response you are supposed to have.

    Give yourself permission to pay attention without feeling that you need to manufacture a result.

    If you experience new, worsening, persistent, or concerning physical or mental-health symptoms, contact an appropriate healthcare professional rather than assuming they are caused by the session.

  • Nothing complicated.

    Give yourself a little room to notice what you're experiencing. Keep up with your hydration. Rest if you need rest, maintain your normal healthy routines, and jot something down if an insight feels worth remembering.

    Most importantly, don't feel pressure to produce a particular outcome.

Animals

.

  • Body/energy-oriented work may also be offered in relation to animals.

    This is complementary restoration work only and is not veterinary diagnosis or treatment. Any animal that is ill, injured, showing concerning symptoms, or experiencing a change in behavior should be evaluated by an appropriately qualified veterinarian.

Practical Questions

.

  • Resources are available through the Heart-Centered Well Being resource library. Each listing explains what is included and whether the resource is free or available for purchase.

    After choosing a resource, follow the instructions provided there for access.

  • Please reach out. Technology occasionally decides to have a day of its own. 🙂

    If you've purchased or requested a resource and can't access it, let me know what happened and I'll help determine the next step.

  • Absolutely. If you're unsure whether something offered here is appropriate for you, you're welcome to ask.

    I may be able to clarify even further on what a resource or service includes.

    The decision about whether it's right for you remains yours.

If Interested … Dr. Bradley Nelson (DC, ret) offers excellent training in the areas of his expertise at Discover Healing (includes Emotion Code and Body Code work) …. with invaluable tools for helping to find “emotional baggage” as well as a patented system designed to offer a simple way to get to the root of virtually any physical or emotional imbalance.  These tools are used to help create a simple road map, helping to uncover the cause of physical or emotional distress in the body, to help you feel better

Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does.

Relates to Philippians 3:9

Relates to Philippians 4:18-19

Life is not about things. One of the best ways to learn to love is through generosity - giving your time, money, effort, and energy.

Relates to Psalms 34:18

Many people just need to know that someone cares about them and notices them at the heart level.

In response, she reached in, got one, ate it herself, & gave him a dirty look. (continued on next one...)

Relates to Matthew 7:1

(...continued from last one) He just smiled then reached in and got another. They traded back and forth and with the last cookie, the man broke it in half, took one half, and left her the other half.

Relates to Philippians 2:13

The word "working" in Greek is the word energos, from which we get our word, "energy".

"It is clear that it is by faith that the works of God are done. It is by faith that we find our purpose."

Relates to Psalm 25

Waiting on our Creator isn't passive or idle. It takes a determined focus on His wisdom, goodness, and faithfulness no matter how challenging a situation may seem.

Relates to Hebrews 10:19-22

Faith is the avenue on which we experience the fullness of God's promises: INTIMACY with Him, PURPOSE in this life, and FREEDOM from all trespasses.

Victor Franki was a Jewish psychiatrist who was taken to one of the death camps in Nazi Germany. All of his family and friends were gassed and murdered. He writes in his book about one day when he stood in front of the Gestapo stark naked. They'd taken away the prisoners' clothes and even Franki's wedding ring. (continued on next one...)

Relates to Philippians 1:22-25

(... cont'd) As he stood there with nothing at all, he suddenly realized there was one thing the Nazis could not take away from him; his choice in how he would respond. You cannot totally control what other people do to you. You cannot control what other people around you say and do. But you can control how you respond. Better to choose to focus on our purpose instead of the problem.

Relates to Hebrews 11:32-34

We are given the option to have the Holy Spirit do work in our heart on a level that fills us with the ability and desire to live entirely in faith.
