I work with people who can tell how powerful Inner Bonding is and want to go deeper with it, but are stuck trying to do that on their own.

If you are frustrated trying to be compassionate to yourself, dialogue effectively, and connect to your spiritual guidance around your toughest issues, you are not alone! Most of my clients have struggled with this, and I have too.

I started doing inner work because I’m also a professional oboist, and I suffered from very bad audition nerves. I just wanted them to go away so I could move up from my position in the Honolulu Symphony to a bigger orchestra.

As I experimented with Alexander Technique, therapy, self-hypnosis, visualization, and more, I noticed the relief I got was fleeting. Even my daily practice of yoga and Zen meditation did not get to the root of the anxiety I felt.

But gradually, I shifted to a more spiritual perspective. I let go of the focus on winning auditions. I began to ask, “How can I find peace in myself?” That’s when the answers started pouring in:

• I discovered the power of empathy through Nonviolent Communication. I completed over 500 hours of training and began to work with clients in 2001.

• I discovered Inner Bonding. It gave me a clear conceptual framework and answered all my questions about the dynamics of relationships to self, to others, and to Spirit. I completed certification in 2009 after assisting Margaret Paul in several intensives.

• I discovered Inner Relationship Focusing, which provided the skills I needed to get unstuck in the Inner Bonding dialogue process. I completed certification as a Focusing facilitator in 2013, after over two years of in-depth training and supervision. I teach several courses for Ann Weiser Cornell’s focusing certification program.

All these come together in the unique offerings I’ve designed to give you the experience of compassionate inner dialogue, the conceptual framework to understand that experience, and the skills to re-create it for yourself. I want to help you get relief around the issues you face, and to give you a reliable, repeatable process for healing. 

I work with clients around the world by phone or Skype. To learn more, read what clients are saying, or schedule a complimentary Synergy Session to explore your challenges, please visit my new website at www.luminoslistening.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

Some years ago a dearest friend of mine shared with me his passion for the work of Dr. Margaret Paul and the Inner Bonding Process. He gave me the plastic card with the 6 Steps and since then I have always carried it with me in my bag.

I have been working as a therapist since 1995, trained in Gestalt Therapy, Focusing, and Louise Hay Teacher Training. I have been offering workshops in Spain during the last 14 years and also one-to-one sessions.

In my work as therapist I have specialized in the tools and processes that develop self-esteem, and one of the approaches I like the most is the Inner Child Healing Process, since I realized that it is the "shortcut for healing".

The only book of Margaret Paul's published in Spain, "Healing your Aloneness," allowed me to add the vision of Margaret and Erika to the work I was doing, giving me a deeper clue and a more complete understanding of the need to create a loving Adult for our Inner Child.

In my personal healing journey a turning point took place in November, 2004, when I participated in the 5 day Intensive with Margaret Paul. It was a very deep experience. I learned so much having the privilege to see the miracle of healing through the presence of Truth and Love! I was very impressed by Margaret and also by the power of the Inner Bonding Process!

My wish is to be able to have the spiritual strength and connection that Margaret has and I know I need to strengthen my spiritual work every day and the Inner Bonding practice is a way to achieve it. It also gives a powerful sense of responsibility and a way to heal the ego false beliefs.

At present I offer my services as a therapist and coach in Barcelona, Spain. I also travel all over Spain to facilitate Transformational Self-Esteem Workshops. I can be reached at 34-93.436.29.50, cell: 653.370.455.

I was born in a multicultural family with a Theosophist grandfather, who was spiritually ahead of his time; through his teachings, I was able to develop my spiritual path early on.

After graduating from high school, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to study Law or Psychology. For all the wrong reasons, I chose Law. Years later, and after experiencing several crises, my interest in Psychology was reborn, which led me on a deep, personal process. As I began to feel and to experience first hand the tremendous benefit this path was providing, an unstoppable urge to help others grew from within. That is how I studied to become a Rogerian person-centered and humanistic counselor and a Gestalt facilitator, eventually specializing in adults, couples, symptoms and adolescents, floral therapy, STEP guide, focusing, therapeutic massage, and expressive rhythmic movement.

My passion and my commitment as a counselor and a facilitator constantly keep me researching new therapeutic methods that can help us in our journey. After completing my studies, my inner guide kept urging me to study about the inner child, and that’s how I came upon one of Margaret’s books, with which I felt an immediate connection. I thus began to work with Inner Bonding.

Every day, through my personal process and through the processes of the people I work with, I corroborate the love and the power that Inner Bonding entails.

I profoundly appreciate Margaret’s presence on the planet; because of her and her methodology, I have been able to advance on my personal and professional journey.

My deepest wish is that Inner Bonding reaches more and more people everywhere, every day.

I provide phone sessions in Spanish. I can be reached at (561) 244-8899, and my email is gescaip9@yahoo.com.

See Karen's current listing of Intensives under the Events heading, and visit her website at www.corequestpotential.com.

Karen is a licensed psychotherapist in Colorado and has been a certified facilitator of Inner Bonding since 2004. Inner Bonding is the foundation of her work, which focuses on learning how to choose love over fear, new behaviors over conditioned behaviors, and trust in one’s spiritual guidance over desperate control by the ego. Karen has been facilitating groups since 2002, and offers intensives and workshops that explore the Inner Bonding process through action.  She has training in both Psychodrama and Gestalt methods.

One of Karen’s clients describes his work with her in this way:

“I came to know Karen Kral by needing to take time to travel deeper within myself to search out what was driving my addictive behaviors and I must say the time spent was life changing. I was amazed at her intuition and ability to take me to a deeper level of connection with my authentic self and God. I continue to use the tools she equipped me with to stay on the path of happy, joyous and free. Thank you Karen, you are a gift to the recovery community.”

Prior to going into full-time practice as an Inner Bonding facilitator, Karen worked as a therapist at Life Healing Center of Santa Fe. In this residential setting, she helped clients heal from childhood trauma and abuse, as well as from various addictions, including sex and love addiction, eating disorders, alcoholism and chemical dependency.  She worked extensively with dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders, and often included partners and family members in therapy to establish healthier communication and boundaries.

Karen practiced Zen Buddhism for more than 12 years and taught mindfulness and meditation based on the teachings of Vietnamese Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh. She also taught classes at Miraval: Life in Balance, a renowned spa and resort north of Tucson, and led week-long programs on mindful eating at Hilton Head Health Institute. She is a student of A Course in Miracles and a practitioner of Centering Prayer, which was developed by the Catholic Monk, Father Thomas Keating.  “Consenting to the presence and action of God within” is the intention of Centering Prayer, and is something that Karen strives for in her daily life and in her work.

Karen enjoys hiking, mindful walking, Native American Spirituality and ceremony, and sometimes incorporates aspects of these practices into her intensives. She has a background in business and worked for nine years in marketing, sales and management.  She is married to Certified Inner Bonding Facilitator, Mark Lersch, and they live and work in Longmont, Colorado, near Boulder and Denver.

Mark has found that more important than what has happened in the past, is how we are relating to and aligning ourselves right now, in this moment.  At the heart of the work he does with all clients is teaching them how to develop a loving relationship with themselves and to contact and align with the divine within.  He has also worked specifically with men, supporting them in becoming both more empowered and more loving in their intimate relationships.

Before dedicating himself full-time to CoreQuest, Mark was the clinical manager at an intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he helped to build the program from the ground up.  He worked for five years as both an individual and group therapist at Life Healing Center of Santa Fe, a residential treatment center where clients came to heal addictions and underlying trauma.  He has worked extensively with clients whose issues include chemical addiction, sex and love addiction, eating disorders, financial disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, codependency and spiritual emergence.  

Mark’s psycho-spiritual approach to healing is influenced by his own interest in spirituality.  He has studied a variety of spiritual paths and methods which he integrates and brings to his therapeutic practice.  He feels deeply honored to accompany people on their own unique path of maturing into full human beings as they become increasingly transparent to the divine in daily life.

Mark also holds a second-degree black belt in Aikido, a peaceful martial art, which teaches us how to find our own “center” (or Hara), to extend “ki” (life force), and to blend our energy with opposing forces and redirect them in skillful ways.  Mark is passionate about using the principles of Aikido and Hara to assist clients in creating safety, which helps them become more present and centered in daily life.  When we feel centered within ourselves and safe in the world, we are able to contact and express our true divine essence and to more skillfully respond to the influences which pull and push on us at home and in work life.  

Mark has an undergraduate degree in psychology, a graduate degree in international management (M.I.M.), and a graduate degree in counseling psychology (M.A.).  Mark has trained in a variety of therapy modalities and his counseling approach is eclectic and unique to each client.  He is an approved affiliate and certified facilitator of Inner Bonding®.

Simply put, Inner Bonding is liberation. Not that you'll never feel fear, or loneliness, not that you won't have challenges and heaps of learning opportunities...but life shifts from being a burden to be endured to an adventure to be embraced; we R-E-L-A-X.  Believe me, I've been on both sides and if I can do it, so can you.  For me, IB represents a pivotal link in my personal and professional quest for the last 25 years -- it has helped cultivate a palpable faith that I'm exactly where I need to be...gratitude is a beautiful thing.

Like many of us, I was led to Inner Bonding by a rather circuitous route.  While I had developed a disciplined meditation practice which was a cornerstone of my self-care and spiritual practice, Inner Bonding helped shift my consciousness to a whole other level.  In 2002, I was looking for the next step, and as is so often the case when we can allow it, the teacher appears when the student is ready, and I read about Inner Bonding and Margaret's retreat weekend and immediately signed up and began working the six steps.  Now, so many years later, it remains my personal and professional capstone...the process I rely on that brings an authentic aliveness not of this world...this stuff works.  If you are getting stuck, as many of us do when first practicing IB, and are not sure where you're going off-course, or if you're hitting something big (trauma) that you intuitively feel it would be best not to navigate by yourself, we facilitators can help.  

I’m a licensed holistic psychotherapist with offices in New York, NY (Chelsea) &  Jersey City, NJ, and my services are reimbursable via your health insurance for in-person sessions.  In addition to being a Certified IB Facilitator, I love working with couples and singles on relationship issues and am a Certified EFT Therapist (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy) with Dr. Sue Johnson (which aligns perfectly with IB) and have trained directly with Dr. John Gottman in Gottman Method Couples Therapy in Seattle. I’m also an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist so can responsibly address all sexual issues when needed.  I'm also trained in EMDR (Levels I, II, and III) with Dr. Laurel Parnell, a powerful modality in releasing traumatic material from the nervous system, and hold a Certification in Creative Arts Therapy and Performance Wellness from the New School for Social Research -- I really enjoy working with people intrigued by their creativity (and by the way, we are ALL creative!).  I also have much experience working with the LGBT population, a community dear to my heart.  

We're all on this journey together and I consider it an honor to assist others in this process of embracing and re-claiming all of who they are. I am available for in-person, Skype, and phone sessions and will provide a 15-minute consultation at no charge to discuss what you're looking to address in more detail.  For more about my journey and work please see my website www.fulfilledcouples.com.

I found Inner Bonding as I was trying to put the pieces of my life and faith together.  I lived in a deep faith, had a B.A. in Social Work and an advanced degree in Theology so I was frustrated at feeling that my life was falling apart.  Working toward perfection in school (full-time for an advanced degree), part-time employment, parenting, and being a spiritual leader resulted in stress that was only part of the problem. Not knowing what would help seemed the bigger problem.  Learning the 6 steps of Inner Bonding allowed me to learn about the wounds that prevented me from experiencing compassion (not self-pity) on an inner level.  This process, which includes the foundation of a spiritual connection, helped me put heart, soul, mind, and body together and granted me a practical means to grow and heal. Inner Bonding has taught me to follow and live in a new understanding of God’s love, from the inside out.

My training and career has been as a social worker, minister, and professor. I experience my deepest joy when I see persons, groups and communities experience God’s unconditional Love.  I love to see the miracles that happen when someone, in the intent to learn, attends to their own fears and hurts in such a loving way as to find healing and hope.  Such healing is compelling and contagious. I am especially delighted to address issues of grief and spiritual abuse and their impact on spiritual life. I am not a counselor, but rather a consultant or facilitator or coach in Inner Bonding. I consider my IB support to be that of ministry and healing.

My professional credentials are:

1974 B A in Social Work, 1979 MA in Religion, 1987 Ministerial Ordination

1993 Ph.D. in Theology, 1998 Certified Inner Bonding® Educator/Facilitator

My training in R.I.E.  (Resources for Infant Educarers-Ages 0-3) and in Monty Robert’s non-violent Horse Training (Leadership and Trust) also informs my work with clients.

After years of using creative and expressive arts in my personal healing, I went to Lesley College in 1996 to earn my masters degree. Poetry, art, music, dance, dreamwork, writing, storytelling, sandtray, and drama therapy - these are rich, deep and meaningful routes to finding and expressing the Self. For me, they are also inextricably linked to Spirit. One of the things that drew me to Inner Bonding was the focus on inner guidance and the Great Spirit which embodies all of life.

My experience includes working with troubled adolescents; with children and adults recovering from trauma and abuse or navigating crisis and loss; and with Hospice clients dealing with grief, death, and dying. I am also keenly interested in Carl Jung's theories on the individuation process (spiritual integration) and the potential for transformation in the Third Age of life.

Like other IB facilitators, I have a passion for the 6-step process. It provides structure and containment for powerful healing work. And what a joy to be connected to the fabulous people who are the Inner Bonding Community!!

In addition to support groups and private appointments, I also offer phone sessions. A level two Reiki practitioner, I incorporate energy work into my practice, which is conducted in a nurturing, compassionate environment. I am the mother of a bright, talented adolescent boy, who is the best present I've ever received, as well as my greatest teacher.

“It was during the session with you that I gained so much clarity and understanding of those feelings. As a result, any heaviness that I was experiencing was lifted. I was less afraid of the pain once I understood it.  You have such a way with words and you frequently re-articulate what I am feeling deep down in a way that just hits the nail on the head immediately for me. And I am so, so grateful that.”

I went to the university to become an economist but later my creative side made me become a graphic designer. Today I own a very successful studio that specializes in advertising, corporate and marketing advising. The studio is in Cadiz, southern Spain, where I live.

My mother died when I was 3 years old and 7 years later my father died. I was raised by my older siblings and family. Because everybody around me was so wounded I was provided with everything material but most of my emotional needs were unmet. I always felt a deep loneliness, so deep that I wasn't even aware of it.

In 1995, after a crisis in a personal relationship, I realized that I was missing something out of life. I started looking and researching. I did therapy, went to seminars, read tons of books. One of the books was Healing Your Aloneness. Somehow It clicked inside of me. A couple of years later the book was still lingering in my head. I tried to contact Margie through friends in the states but it was impossible. in January year 2000 during a short vacation in the USA I just called information service asked for Margie's phone number. They gave it to me, I called and Margie answered!. She told me about Inner Bonding and the intensives. I decided to make the effort because even if I have to sell my car or spend all my savings I owe it to myself. I went to my first intensive in May that year and since then I have healed so much that had you told me before I wouldn't believe you - no way! And I even have a much, much better car!

While still in my healing journey I decided to commit part of my time and energy to make INNER BONDING available to more people, especially to the people in Spain and Spanish speaking people. I have been training since then to facilitate in Inner Bonding. yopedro@hotmail.com

I have a bachelors in Cultural Anthropology, a Masters in Education, and an MBA. I have trained in, studied and practiced Hakomi therapy, thai yoga therapy, vipassana meditation, and a wide array of psychotherapeutic modalities. In all my studies and all my exploration, Inner Bonding is the process I have found most transformational — both personally and for my clients. It is a holistic, embodied path to creating a loving relationship with yourself. It’s that relationship with yourself that provides the foundation for everything else: being fully yourself in the world, being truly available to authentically connect and share love with others, experiencing greater peace and love and joy.

I work with corporate executives and individuals committed to leading their lives with intention, loving themselves more completely, enhancing their self-confidence, and living in greater alignment with their own deepest longings. I have a private practice in Palo Alto, CA and work with clients around the world as both an executive coach and an Inner Bonding facilitator. I bring to my coaching and facilitation work over 10 years of marketing, product management, relationship management, and business analysis experience for companies such as BCG, The Clorox Company, UC Berkeley, and PeoplePC. I invite you to visit my website at www.decervantes.com

I earned my BA from Amherst College, my M.Ed. from UCLA, my MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, and my coaching certification from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. A California native, I resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I love kite surfing, trail running and dancing 5 Rhythms and contact improvisation. Come join this dance with me, and fall back in love with yourself!

“I have decided in this life to continue to choose vulnerable transparency in the hopes that it helps us all to heal & love ourselves more fully, and to connect with each other more authentically & deeply.”

Inner Bonding has been THE most powerful tool for healing myself since I started my spiritual journey in 2007. My spiritual teacher presented Inner Bonding me at a retreat, to which I had gone to be able to become a mother after not having been able to for a while. The effect of Inner Bonding, in the context of new spiritual practices such as meditations and decrees, was immediate and one month later I was pregnant with my first daughter.

I continued my healing process and after having my baby decided to change career paths. I left the corporate world, in which I had been working for the previous 10 years as an engineer in the marketing area, to work as a spiritual therapist, to help other people improve their wellbeing.

My life´s vision is to increase humanity´s level of consciousness in order to live in a world of LOVE and UNITY.

To achieve this vision, I work with people in learning processes that allow them to gain consciousness. This enables them to know their True Self and be able to manifest this in their daily lives, brining wellness to themselves and others. 



My work is based on conversations as a life coach, using healing practices such as: guided meditations to connect to the Universal Source of knowledge, love and power (God for me); Touch for Health, which is applied kinesiology to connect with the body´s message from the soul, thru balancing energy meridians, and others such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Energy Healing of Chakras and Vortices and Angel´s Therapy.

I am now training myself to become an Inner Bonding facilitator, a dream I have had for a couple of years and now is coming a reality. I am grateful to all the people, Margaret especially who is so kind and loving, who have helped create and offer Inner Bonding to the world.

If you need any assistance in your spiritual journey or are looking to feel better with yourself or your life in any way, do not hesitate to contact me and, God willing, I will be ready to assist you. I am a fluent Spanish speaker in case you prefer to have the Inner Bonding sessions in this language.

Let the journey begin…

I believe - and have personally experienced - that psychological freedom is possible when we are willing to do the work to attain it. Step-by-step we can open to being responsible for our feelings and the thoughts we allow to create our experience of life. We have the power to work with the wisest and most loving parts of ourselves to heal our misunderstandings – especially our unforgiving and undervaluing view of ourselves - and learn to be kind to our entire being and champion our Essence – inside ourselves as well as out in the world.

Before I found Inner Bonding, I was – there’s no other way to put this - deeply self-loathing. I had an Inner Critic at the level of Sniper/Assassin, who was incredibly judgmental, demanding and unforgiving. It was hyper vigilant, convinced that it had to protect me from making mistakes and getting hurt. No matter what I accomplished in the outside world, that wounded part of me would not give me any room to breathe or any kindness.

Thank goodness I found Inner Bonding. My family and friends have witnessed the growth and healing I’ve been blessed to receive through working whole-heartedly with this technique for 7 years. The circumstances of my life and my inner experience have shifted dramatically. I (and everyone who knows me) can affirm that miracles have occurred in my life and that I operate very differently than I did in the past.  I’m unboundedly grateful for the efficacy of Inner Bonding and it is my true honor to support others along this path of self-growth and freedom.

In addition to practicing Inner Bonding for 7 years, attending intensives and workshops with Dr. Margaret Paul, assisting Dr. Paul at 5-Day Intensives, and working with clients for 4 years, I also have a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. With this training, I have learned that there is a foundation of truth, wisdom, generosity, grace, unconditional love and complete support inside of us.  This part of us is available to help us express our gifts, take good care of ourselves, have healthy boundaries with others, and experience an abundance of joy and gratitude in our lives.  Most of all, this consciousness knows who we are, treasures us, and helps us to grow through all our experiences.

I believe that the best facilitators are those who have done their own healing work, are familiar with the depth and pain of the path, and have transcended their wounded selves to such a level that they experience joy and freedom on a consistent basis and can journey with you through your own healing – no matter how daunting. I hold you in respect and caring along the way, while offering powerful insights that can provide you with quantum leaps along your healing path.

I’ve been told that my facilitation is patient, supportive of the client’s sacred connection with their own nurturing Guidance, respectful, gentle and caring, and particularly comforting to Highly Sensitive People.  I see clients in person in Denver, Colorado, but am also available for Skype, Vsee, and phone sessions. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to help determine if we might work well together.

I found Inner Bonding when I hit a rock bottom; depression, anxiety and self-loathing were my constant companions.   I was “successful” in my career as an IT Project Manager, but had a huge hole inside me that nothing was able to fill up.  Over the course of my life I tried alcohol, drugs, television, work and I was at a point where my latest addiction was my relationship to my long time partner, and he was not doing it for me either.  I was so upset and frustrated with my relationship because he would not take responsibility for my happiness, that I just had to get away. So that day at work (it was a Friday),  I searched for a retreat to go to that weekend.  I didn’t really care what it was – meditation, yoga, healing – whatever. It didn’t matter as long as it was within driving distance.  I stumbled across a workshop call “Healing Your Aloneness” with Dr. Margaret Paul that started that night.  I registered, rented a car, told my partner I was going away for the weekend and I would see him on Sunday night.  I didn’t know what Inner Bonding was or who Dr. Margaret Paul was.

I had no idea that my life was about to change.   I was blown away by that weekend.  I felt that someone had just given me the keys to life.  Besides trying various addictions, I also tried everything else.  I studied Buddhist Meditation with a renowned meditation master.  I was in Buddhist based individual and group therapy for over 14 years. I saw teachers and healers of every tradition.  But nothing gave me a step-by-step (6 steps actually J) method to heal myself the way that Inner Bonding has.

My life has transformed and continues to transform by consistently practicing IB.  My relationship with my partner has gone from clinging and grasping to open and loving.  My relationship with myself has gone from self-loathing and emptiness to self love and fullness.  My work is in the process of transforming from an unfulfilling, stressful career to a career full of connection and sharing.

I completed a year-long training program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and I am now a Certified Health Coach.  My philosophy as a Health Coach is firmly rooted in IB.  I believe that no diet or exercise plan works by motivation or force of will, but rather by using the connection with the inner child and guidance to choose the most loving action.  As a Health Coach I work with individual clients as well as doing presentations and group programs for corporations.  To find out more about my work see my website www.KeepItSimpleWellness.com.

I am passionate about health and fitness, both physical and emotional.  I am member of the Kyosushin Karate Dojo in New York City.  Currently I am a brown belt, but I am finally in serious training for my black belt.  I love to run, swim and ride my bike and have completed 2 marathons and 2 triathlons.  I am also an avid practitioner of Bikram yoga.  I am a member of the Shambhala Meditation Center of New York City and have had a daily meditation practice for over 20 years.

As an Inner Bonding facilitator in training, I so happy for the opportunity to work with people on the journey of self discovery.  I am available for Inner Bonding phone sessions.  If you are interested in working with me, please contact me at cmfogle@yahoo.com or 917-449-1267.

I was working as an International Management Consultant facilitating personal, professional and team development and I loved my work. My husband, who I later realised loved me unconditionally, was a CEO of a Government Department, I had 2 great teenage sons who were proud of me, a fabulous house at the beach, good friends, respect, integrity and I had an emptiness inside me and I threw it all away!!!

I plunged into a dark abyss of self-destruction and giving myself up to a man who was manipulative and controlling. It only took 3 months and I was a cot case, in 12 months I had stopped all my consultancy work as I was an emotional mess, I saw a psycho-therapist for 12 months, went on Buddhist retreats, had spiritual healings and everything else you can imagine. I left my now ex-defacto partner too many times to count but continually allowed myself to be seduced back into this controlling relationship where he wanted me to give more and more of myself and I thought that was love so that is what I did. My addiction to love cost me a lot!!! There was nothing left for me.

My path of insight led me to Interplay, a body wisdom program which helped me listen to my body, but it wasn’t until I found Margaret, Erika and Inner Bonding and integrated mind, body and spirit knowing, that I really took the leap into being who I really am, connected to myself and spirit. I learnt that the emptiness that I thought was in my marriage was in me, that giving myself up to “love” – being a caregiver, “killed me” and it wasn’t love, it was my form of control.

I am now feeding my body and soul in more ways then one!!! Sowing seeds for a beautiful spring garden in the southern hemisphere, eating wonderful healthy food, writing the life long lessons I have to share with others, training with Margaret and starting my new business which integrates all the work and study I have done over my lifetime. My work specialises in processes for individuals and organisations to become their true essence. With a focus on identity; integrity; relationship with self, spirit and our world; and creating a legacy through work and business with a soulful purpose that includes profit, people and planet.

I am an advocate for business with Soul and I Coach and Mentor people who are willing to go deep, connect with their guidance, heal limiting beliefs and become who they are called to be. I am a Coach and Mentor for CEO’s and business owners who want to develop their business with Soul generating prosperity for people and planet and leaving a legacy of commitment and support to respecting and caring for our communities and our beautiful planet.

My name is Lisa Lipton, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade’s worth of experience helping individual adults, college students, and teens resolve anxiety and depression, get in touch with their true selves, and overcome the obstacles that are keeping them from creating the relationships, joy, and life they so desire.

My passion and purpose is to help you live a life you love: a life filled with joy, peace and vitality!

This purpose, this passion, has led me to investigate numerous alternative approaches to traditional talk therapy, including Spiritual Psychology, Energy Psychology, and psycho-spiritual techniques including Inner Bonding.

Inner Bonding can help you establish a deep, daily personal connection and dialogue with a loving source of spiritual guidance that heals the false beliefs of your wounded self – beliefs that underlie the anxiety, pain, fear, and relationship problems in your life.

Inner Bonding is one of the more powerful and transformational techniques I incorporate into the Spiritual Counseling work I do and has helped many of my clients create profound connections with their true selves, Spirit, and others that heal emptiness and unleash creativity, passion, purpose, and joy!

Incorporating these modalities into my practice has helped my clients make the kinds of breakthroughs they’ve been looking for: Positive, deep, lasting transformational changes.

I have enjoyed introducing many of my clients to these innovative ways of thinking and healing, and the results have been astounding… I truly love the work I do!

I found Inner Bonding when I read, “Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God?” a few years ago. You must know that I am an avid reader. I have read many books for my own personal path of healing as well as part of my graduate work. When I read this book, I knew this was groundbreaking for me. I had never contacted an author personally before, but I felt compelled to tell her how excited and how moved I was by her book. I received a prompt loving response from her inviting me to join this amazing, loving community. After studying countless theories and approaches and years of my own personal therapy and growth, I was thrilled to find a practice that brought everything I had ever found meaningful together in one cohesive package. Drawing from the wisdom of spirituality and psychology, Inner Bonding helps us to discover our precious inner child, full of creativity and joy who is just waiting for our love and devotion. I am a big believer in the power of teaching the processes I have found to be personally effective for me. I approach therapy in the spirit of collaboration as a fellow traveler rather than from a position as an expert or an authority. By providing a safe space within the context of a healing relationship, I help clients explore where they get stuck with curiosity and compassion. My style is both sensitive and direct. I support my clients by helping them authentically align with their true selves in the midst of facing challenging situations, releasing long-standing false beliefs, or simply connecting with their own inner experience.

I found Inner Bonding quite synchronistically back in the spring of 2003 and attended my first intensive that summer. From the minute I watched Margaret work with the first person and saw how quickly IB went to the depth of a persons soul, I knew I had found something really special and that this was for me. I realized during that intensive that a 5-day process of Inner Bonding did for me what 10 years of therapy didn't. I began working this process with Margaret very intensely and noticed incredible changes in my life. My search for internal happiness seemed to be a never-ending journey until I found this 6-step process. I really was able to start finding that happiness which I spent years searching for in this 6-step process. The layers of my wounded self started peeling away leaving me space to find my core essence and really live peacefully in it. I've handled life better and my relationships have become more real and connected as I connected to my core essence and my guidance and most importantly I have learned to share love. IB has taken me though some really tough transitions in my life and I am so grateful for this process.

I'm a High School health teacher for 11th grade and immediately came home and started teaching Inner Bonding to my students. Believe it not they embraced it really well and I started to see a way that I could really help them become happier and more productive in their lives as well as more peaceful in their skins especially during years than can be so difficult and stressful for them. I incorporated Inner Bonding into a 3-day retreat I take my students on and saw miracles happen. I'm convinced the younger this process is taught the happier our children will be.

With that said it is now time that I am interested in giving back to the Inner Bonding community and to others as well what I have been so genuinely blessed to find through the Inner Bonding process. I have been a High School Health teacher for 30 years and have taught about self-esteem and addiction. I'm a Master Practioner of Neuro Linguistic programming, Time Line Therapy, Hypnotherapy and have a certificate for Addictions Counseling. I'm certified in Reiki and a Kripalu Yoga teacher as well and am so very excited to now join the ranks of Inner Bonding Facilitators in training. If interested in working with me you can reach me at 516-527-5371 or e-mail me at merryooo@msn.com. I look forward to working with you!

After reading this in  Neale Donald Walsch’s, Conversations with God. I changed my life.

The words in this book sank to the core of my being and became the catalyst for me taking responsibility for my life.  This journey toward Self began by letting go of my current career in service management, an unhealthy 22 year relationship and a return to school. I became a Registered Massage Therapist and opened my own clinic. I next completed my certification in Acupuncture, took various body work therapies including Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Iridology, Kinesiology and most recently completed my education as a Spiritual Psychotherapist and Spiritual Director.  

With tools such as meditation, mindfulness, breathing, yoga, pilates and teachings that resonated from A Course in Miracles, Eckhart Tolle, Thich Naht Hanh, Carolyn Myss and many other authors and teachers I continued to break through the trances of ego and grew increasingly liberated as I consciously let go of false beliefs.

While attending the Transformational Arts College in Toronto Ontario, I was introduced to Margaret’s book Inner Bonding. As I applied her teachings personally and with the help of a therapist my deepest inner work began and I was able to access the core of my own repressed wounding.

Having done and continuing to do my own inner work allows me to be especially sensitive to the needs and readiness of each individual client. This creates a safe, loving and compassionate environment which invites spirit to help facilitate the highest healing and learning for the clients that are choosing to share their healing journey with me

Jackie is available for counselling sessions personally in Port Dover, Ontario or via phone or Skype.

As the daughter of two psychotherapists (yes, Margaret is one of them!), I grew up with the language and theories of psychology running through my blood. As a young girl, I vacillated between dreaming about one day being either a writer, a therapist, or a midwife. Having found the confluence of these three arts through writing about and spiritually midwifing people through life’s transitions, I feel deeply blessed to be living in the heart of my calling.

While my writing and counseling work have primarily focused on the specific transitions of getting married and becoming a mother, in recent years I have felt called to broaden my practice to include the lifelong transition of life in all its beauty and complexity. For whether we’re on the verge of leaping into marriage, getting a divorce, suffering through anxiety or depression, struggling with an addiction, or birthing a new identity as a mother, we find the same issues of self-trust and control appearing again and again. The story line may change, but the spiritual seeker quickly finds that the areas that need attention reappear at deeper layers of the spiral on life’s journey.

The tools of Inner Bonding cradled within the spiritual context of transition have created a powerful framework through which I can assist clients in finding their own voice, exploring the stories and beliefs that interfere with hearing this voice, confronting their need to control and the perpetual practice of learning to surrender, and guiding them as they make their way through life’s challenges and joys. My decade of working with clients in transition combined with my years of a loving marriage (not without continual consciousness and hard work!) and the privilege/challenge of being a mother have solidified my firm belief that, while guides are often necessary to help us find our way through the labyrinths, no one outside of ourselves and a spiritual source has the answers. In fact, I believe that, whether we’re talking about parenting, marriage, or anxiety, there are no definite answers; there’s only the process of discovering what’s right for you.

In 1997, I graduated from Pacifica Graduate Institute, a depth psychology program founded upon the teachings of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, James Hillman, and the study of dreams, archetypes, myths, and the myriad ways that the unconscious manifests in daily and nightly life. As a writer, poet, and epic dreamer, I encourage my clients to explore their own creative outlets as pathways for connecting to Spirit and finding their own truths. In 1999, I launched my unique business, Conscious Weddings, and a year later published my first book, The Conscious Bride, which broke the taboo of discussing the underbelly of the wedding transition. In 2003, my second book, The Conscious Bride’s Wedding Planner, was published, and in 2004, I began working with impending and new mothers through Conscious Motherhood.
