Q: What is this Holistic Approach?
A: A Holistic Approach is a complementary and alternative modality that takes into account the mental health aspects of the individual as well as the physical, spiritual, and energetic aspects. For example, someone may be experiencing a physical symptom such as nose bleeds that may be related to their need to be recognized. Another person may be experiencing a disconnection from God after a death of a loved one. By becoming aware of how we experience and process the world around us, we can engage in methods that address the distress you may be experiencing in your body, mind or energy field. The holistic approach I use, integrates energy techniques that can help bring all aspects of your being in balance, transform traumas in all levels and promote a harmonious interaction between the body, mind and spirit.

A: Your life improves as you participate actively in it. Coming to sessions requires courage and commitment. If you are on time, attend every scheduled appointment, are present during the session, practice the tools and techniques learned, and do your inner work even when not in session, you will enjoy the fruits of your labor and will be able to witness your life unfold majestically.
A: I specialize in helping people reconnect to their divinity, clear blockages or repetitive patterns, develop their intuition and align their energy with their soul's so they can improve the quality of their lives. My unique spiritual approach utilizes advanced intuition as well as Western and Eastern techniques in order to create balance of the mind, body and spirit.

A: Every person experiences events differently. Siblings from the same family may recount the same story in a different way, even if they were in the same place, at the same time and with the same people. The technique that suits you best depends on how you perceive the world around you and how you have processed events in your life. Through awareness and exploration, we can identify and work on specific techniques that match your individual style and benefits you most.

A: The process is like peeling an onion. There might be a few layers of issues covering the root of issues or there might be a lot of layers that relate in some way to your main concern. The length depends mainly on your active participation and commitment during, and in between sessions. The techniques I use, combined with my intuition, allow me to access information in a faster way, which can help us move through the process faster, deeper and easier.  

Q: If I'm receiving therapy, does that mean I'm crazy?
A: Some people are concerned that attending counseling can be used against them or that others might see them as crazy. This is a common concern. Attending therapy does not mean you are crazy, it means that you are corageous enough to figure out what your obstacles are, and how to fix them. It means that you are willing to learn how to improve your life and are seeking information and help for that. You can choose to disclose if you are receiving counseling or not, to whomever you feel safe with. In addition, I abide to confidentiality rules that protect your privacy. Please contact me if you want more information.
On another note, participating in training, forums, sessions or any other service available through this website and this organization does not constitute psychological therapy nor does it replace any mental health service you may be receiving. I assume that you are taking full responsibility for your own health and well being, especially when practicing any of the tecniques suggested. 
A: Contact me for more information. 

A: You may already be spending money on things that make you feel good such as going to a hair salon, getting a manicure and pedicure, going out to dinner or taking a vacation. Some of your money may be going to things that might not be as beneficial such as cigarettes, happy hour drinks, indulging in shopping or going to casinos. 
These expenses can provide you with a temporary relief of your distress, however investing in your personal growth will ensure long lasting happiness and wellbeing. How much would you be willing to pay to find love, peace and happiness? Can you afford not to improve your life? 

A: I accept cash and personal checks.

A: I provide most sessions, trainings and talks in person. However, I offer sessions, workshops and seminars through phone and teleconference. I love people and technology so I try to offer a variety of virtual access points for those who cannot attend my sessions or lectures in person. I also respond promptly to emails, texts or calls. 

A: From time to time we all experience emergencies and events that keep us from fulfilling our commitments. If this is the case for you, we can reschedule the appointment within the same week, depending on availability. However, if you realize that you will not be able to attend a session, please contact me 48 hours before in order to avoid a cancellation fee.

Q: How do I set up an appointment?
A: You can call me at (858) 459-1273 or email me at info@nancydeandrade.com to set up the best time to meet.
