The Holistic Therapy Tool Box

Internal Family Systems

This evidence-based approach assumes each individual possesses a variety of sub-personalities, or “parts,” and attempts to get to know each of these parts better to achieve healing.

By learning how different parts function as a system and how the overall system reacts to other systems and other people, people in therapy can often become better able to identify the roots of conflict, manage any complications arising, and achieve greater well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.

Emotional Freedom Techniques

EFT, also known as meridian tapping, is a simple yet effective healing method which significantly reduces and/or eliminates emotional distress.

This technique can assist you in changing outdated belief systems, relieve stress, resolve trauma and negative past experiences, relieve pain, promote forgiveness for yourself and others, and improve overall health and well being.

Body Code

Body Code, developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, is an “energy balancing system, intended to help you uncover root causes of discomfort, sickness and suffering in body and spirit”.

Body code uses magnet healing which releases emotions that are stuck in the body. Once released, people find that positive changes begin to occur in their life. Relationships improve, the physical body heals, and an overall sense of well-being emerges.

Somatic Mindfulness

Somatic mindfulness brings to awareness of sensations and emotions located in the body. Mind-body dialogue, light trance, and guided visualizations helps to connect to root causes and then release imbalances.

Heart Assisted Therapy

HAT, developed by John Diepold, is a heart centered breathing technique which allows you to release emotions and create a calm state of being.

Past Life Regression Therapy

PLR is a light trance technique which allows you to access past lives.

When emotional themes are re-experienced in the past life, healing occurs in the current life.

A variety of issues can be healed such as fears and phobias, social anxiety, and unhealthy relationship patterns, and much more.

Intuitive Readings

The art of tarot has been a tool for insight since the 15th century.

Ronna will use her psychic/intuitive talents to help you get guidance from the cards, your guides, ancestors, and loved ones on the other side.

Specialties

Trauma & Negative Past Experiences

Most people will tell you, “Trauma lasts. The memories are just as clear as the day it happened. The emotions are just as intense, if not more so”.

Fortunately, there have been new healing innovations changing this paradigm. EFT helps put the past where it belongs.

The body & mind are designed to remember events and situations that are a threat to the person’s well-being so it may be avoided in the future. Sometimes, this design which is meant to protect us, causes problems instead. Our relationships become unhealthy, we can’t move forward in our lives, we can become anxious or depressed.

EFT helps the brain understand that experiences from the past are no longer a threat and it is ok to relax.

Ronna provides a comfortable space where these issues can be healed safely with compassion and competence.

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety & depression can range from annoying to debilitating. No matter the severity of your symptoms, Ronna can provide safe and effective tools to help you feel relief & while working your way toward empowerment and confidence.

Relationship Patterns

Experiences from the past shape your relationships in the present. Whether it is your work relationships, family, friendships, or romantic, patterns repeat seemingly out of our control.

Therapy can help you find the roots of relationship patterns and, through a variety of approaches, help you to break unhealthy patterns and create healthy ones.
