After many years of running a traditional psychotherapy practice, I found that my work was both powerfully healing and frustratingly limiting. I saw my clients overcome obstacles and grow in so many ways, but I found that the best results came when I added wellness practices from other disciplines like spirituality, nutrition and movement. I also felt constrained by the one-on-one nature of the clinical room, knowing that we share so many of life's challenges and that circles can strengthen the effects of healing. LYW was born to serve the need for holistic healthcare that sees you in your fullness and for community that supports and connects you to all that is around you to help you heal and become who you are.

A Word of Thanks
LYW wouldn't be here if not for the help, dedication and perseverance of two women: Amy Griffith and Kirby Hazelton. Amy was a partner from the start, the doula, who provided guidance and support in turning jumbled throughs into a coherent idea. Kirby was the guide when we needed it most, helping us turn the idea into a business led by the heart. Thank you and deep gratitude to both. Namaste.
