Bach Flower & Your Kids


So often my clients will ask if Bach Flower will work for their children.  The answer to that is yes, yes it can.  And most importantly yes it can.  Since I have been working with the Essences, I have done my own research with kids and found that they resonate faster and easier to the Remedies then adults do.

I had one client come to me with a child who would not sleep through the night and when she did sleep, she had horrible nightmares.  I sent my client home with the outline for the remedies and had her fill it out.  She came back with it the following week and I was able to determine which ones her daughter needed to help with the imbalances she spoke of.  

I mixed her up a bottle of Rescue Sleep and she purchased a bottle of my Protection and Clearing Room Spray that is a combination of Bailey Flower Essence and Essential Oils.  Within the first week of using this combination, her daughter woke up only one night and after 3 weeks, she has slept right through the night with no nightmares.  Incredible.  She says, she is a completely different kid too.

So if you have a child who is having difficulty in some aspect of their life, you may want to consider how Bach Flower Remedies can help.  You can view them on my website under the link 'Power Products' and you can purchase the room sprays by contacting me via email.

What's New at the 8th Side


From Psychotherapy & Natural Health to Empowerment Coaching

In the years I have been doing my work, I have discovered that people tend to shy away from psychotherapy because they think there has to be something wrong with them psychologically to seek psychotherapy.  Even though this is not the case, I have decided to make the move to a more positive approach to counseling.

Psyche is the human soul mind and spirit, which, in my opinion, is why we need to deal with the client as a whole.

Psycho is a term often considered mildly offensive or derogatory.  In real terms though, it can represent a person who is acting in a bizarre or dangerous manner. This can be true for any person who is under a lot of stress, has lost a loved one or even someone who feels not fulfilled in some way.  Psycho can refer to all of us at one point or another.

Therapy is a treatment intended to treat or heal a disorder through psychological means.

Psycho-therapy then is treatment of a mental state or disorder through means of psychology.  Psychotherapy is different than psychology in the way that it aids clients in problems of living.  This includes increasing the individuals sense of well-being by employing a range of techniques based on experiential relationship building and behavior change that are designed to improve mental health.

Empowerment coaching or life coaching is a practice of helping clients determine and achieve personal goals which may include multiple methods to help clients with the process of setting and reaching life, career, relationship, health, or personal development goals.

This is where we come in.  The 8th Side Empowerment Coaching provides you with the support, resources, strategies and skills that help you find your power again. We are your devoted listener, your partner, your collaborator.  We work with you to develop solutions so you can overcome personal challenges.
