"Beauty is a work of Nature,
Age is a work of Art"
A lot of people believe that growth is linear and are very hard on themselves when it is definitely not. It's a bit of a one step forward, two steps back kind of process, right? Our approach is in support of this reality and the belief that any external results that are lasting derive from nurturing your divine light with compassion and love. This is incredibly challenging in the face of daily stressors, set-backs, grief, life transitions, etc.
The Map of Consciousness was created by Dr. David R. Hawkins to provide a visual of how to check in with yourself when the storms of life set in and to help you reorient yourself towards your long-term well-being. (For further information, please reference Dr. Hawkins book Power vs Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior)
And to keep it real, we're not trying to be the next guru (well, maybe you are and that's wonderful) yet for most of us, we're just trying to get through the day (although, since guru means "dispeller of darkness," perhaps we all become little gurus in the world as we evolve our consciousness). The idea of referencing the Map of Consciousness (and the Chakra Chart below) is so you have tools you can lean into when things feel heavy. It's important to acknowledge and embrace our shadow nature, too (for example, who doesn't enjoy a little Schadenfreude now and then). It's also important to not discount your difficult emotions as they are signals to pause/listen/take time to hear the underlying message essential to your healing and growth.

"Love what you have, think Eternal"
Auravance specializes in the Art of Aging Well through energy healing and inspiring lifestyle choices that encourage you to gently evolve towards greater peace, beauty, and vitality.
Energy Healing focuses on the belief that there is a vital life force that flows through all things, known as qi/chi, which literally means breath/air, in Chinese medicine and Prana in Hinduism, (similar beliefs are known as the Holy Spirit in Christianity, Archangel Gabriel in Islam and Ruach HaKodesh in Judaism). This essential energy sustains all life from the smallest cellular processes to the flow of blood and nerve impulses impacting not just the body but thoughts and emotions, as well. Modern research with organizations such as Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) continues to show growing evidence of the benefits of healing at the cellular level (please see the Resources page for more information). The aura is a reflection of the state of our qi/chi and, when energy is blocked in the body, it can lead to health conditions dimming our light. By healing and freeing up this energy, cortisol levels are often reduced leading to improved internal harmony, well-being and radiance.
"Maybe you could use a little TLC"
Therapeutic Lifestyle Coaching is intended to provide you with a road map to metabolize stress and psychic pain creating space to explore your True Self, purpose/dharma and personal aesthetic. The only thing certain is change so it is inevitable that we will all go through stressors/transitions/loss in life that can cause us to feel off-kilter and sometimes not even recognize ourselves anymore. TLC can assist with your renaissance where you restore a sense of balance. Less excess more essence! When what we say, think and do are in alignment, we feel more congruent and at ease.
Historically, psychology literally means "study of the psyche (soul)" in Greek. As we can practice turning down the noise of the outside world and tuning-in to the guidance of our soul, the more we'll develop a sense of inner freedom. Prioritizing this process and cultivating choices based on a longevity mindset allows us to be proactive with our Epigenetics/gene expression increasing the potential for quality longevity. Generate transcendence, manifestation, and resilience in your life with some TLC.
TLC Assessment
"Let's have some TEA and share the VIEW"
With the TLC Assessment, we look at how you spend your Time, Energy, and Attention ("Where attention goes, energy flows"). This informs your VIEW and how to shape it by identifying your Vision, taking Inventory, clarifying Expectations, and understanding/committing to your Why.
"Just for this moment: I will not worry or be angry; I will work diligently and with integrity; I will show compassion to myself and others" ~ adapted from Reiki Precepts
"You are not a body with a
soul, You are a soul with a
body" ~ Carl Jung
Our energy centers (chakras) are another wonderful tool to nurture in order to reach our long-term goals. As Krishna says, 'Our bodies are the vehicle for our dharma." The word chakra means "wheel" or "vortex" and each of the 7 main chakras correlate to aspects of our Endocrine System (please reference the Chakra Chart on this page under the section "Body Parts Affected." As we learn, practice, choose to tune-in to and align with Divine Energy, the more self-mastery we attain leading towards greater well-being - this is the Auravance Method.
There are lots of ways to nurture our energy centers in simple ways (foods, movement, choice of clothing, etc.) and developing your energetic signature is part of the work we'll do together. By nurturing our chakras, it also allows us to more readily move back up the stairway of light outlined in the Map of Consciousness after disruptions/setbacks (it becomes its own dance) where you strengthen the ability to pause/pivot and move through suffering with greater ease recognizing that the spirit in which we do things almost always matters more than the activity itself.
It's often said that ego stands for "edging God out" ~ let's practice surrendering a little more to Faith over fear each day. Some people have barriers to this process, and Love, due to religious trauma and/or crisis of faith experiences. Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is another energy healing modality that can help dissolve these blocks allowing for an improved adaptive pattern of responding (www.emdr.com).
And, let's be honest, we all have slip-ups, cravings, hurtful experiences and confusion that pollute and cloud our best efforts. It's amazing how quickly we can learn something and, even with the best intentions, forget it! The key is to practice responding to your humanness with compassion (which means "to suffer with"), choosing to see setbacks as lessons, and learning to integrate experience with love - let it fuel your next iteration!
