I want to first apologize for my website being out dated. There are two valid reasons for this. One, as I tranisition my practice, I am not totally sure what services I will be offering and when. Second, my website guy has been taking a break from working on my site to be my contractor and work on redoing my kids’ bedrooms. Oh that’s right, he is my talented husband. Anyway, I am hoping to update the site soon but for now please excuse the mess. I am writing today to announce some exciting news. 

When thinking about doula work, a question I have asked myself is- am I experienced? In regards to birth and postpartum, I feel fairly experienced. I have four births that were all pretty different and went through a postpartum period. I have also been part of the birthing community, spoken with many moms about their own experiences over the years and have educated myself since my first pregnancy (more years ago than I’d like to admit). Birth and babies is an easy topic. Perhaps some of the more intimate details aren’t always shared but for the most part, birth is …

It has been a while since I touched this website. Tender Empowerment, as it exists in 2023, is really just one person, me! As a result, when there is a personal change, it is a business change and visa versa.  I want to start out by thanking all of you whom have trusted me over the years to help you with some very personal issues. I am grateful and honored to be included in your journey.  I fell in love with hypnosis and I still believe that it is an amazing tool for so many things in life. However, I …

As a hypnotherapist, the main part of what I do involves putting clients into a state of hypnosis to help them create permanent, lasting change. However, that’s not all. During any session, I also help clients understand the power of their minds and give them other ways to harness their own power to create the change that they desire now and can apply to other change in the future.  Weight loss is an issue many people are dealing with. The state of the world the last few days has made this problem even worse. I am going to share with …

How Do You Shower? Yesterday, my seventeen year old daughter was looking at her phone and started freaking out the way teenage girls do. “NOBODY showers that way!” She started yelling. I asked her what she was talking about and she showed me a picture on her phone of a woman facing the shower head. “What do you mean, that’s how everyone showers.” I responded. She told me that no, everyone faces away from the shower head. Of course, this started a need to find out the truth for both of us.  We promptly started asking everyone we knew which …

I have spent the last several years earning my Master’s degree. I am very happy to have it but at this point, I don’t feel like I am going to seek the next step to become a counselor. I have known that I am meant to help people. However, in order to do that in a way that I feel is best, I will be redesigning my business. I haven’t had time to see clients in the past year, and with COVID, it made it even harder. I thought about doing virtual session, however, something wasn’t right. I am working …

It’s always a fun day when your husband comes up to you excitedly and tells you about a podcast he just heard. It’s even better when he tells yous something you have been trying to get through to people for the last four years. “They were talking about pain and how most of it is actually in your mind!” I sat there and starred at him. “You don’t say?” “Well, I KNOW you know that but it was the way they put it that changed something in the way I think about it,” the husband redeems himself with. That actually …

*Updated 2/28/2022* I saw a meme the other day that has been bothering me ever since I saw it.  It said something about “build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from.”  The over all thought of the meme wasn’t exactly wrong, however, the words used bothered me greatly. The idea is that self care should be something that is part of your life.  Yes, we should build in regular, daily self care.  Every single day we should have a routine that includes self care.  That message is great but self care should not ever be compared to an …

I have talked about this issue before but I have been seeing it come up a lot lately so I want to talk about it again.  There seems to always be cases about parents leaving babies in a hot car and the poor child dies.  I see so many parents pass judgement and even blame the parent for intentionally causing the death.  The truth is, when you look at how the mind works, you can see how easy it is for this tragedy to take place. Your subconscious mind is way more powerful than we like to admit. So many …

*Updated 12/13/2021* Tender Empowerment will be adding Past Life Regressions as a service beginning in 2022. Regression hypnosis can help with many different things including helping find lost items, retrieving lost memories and healing. One of the big things we use regression hypnosis for is learning about something that is a little controversial.  Before I get into that, I am asking you to keep open mind for a minute and I will explain why.  I am talking about past life regressions. When I say past life regression, there is usually a few different responses.  The majority of people fit into …
