Paths to Presence and Connection
Janet Namdari • December 14, 2023

The Greatest Gift of All


Here we are - in the midst of holiday season...


The gatherings, the gift giving, and the general busy-ness.


There's a range of feelings being felt - from joy to sadness and everything in between.


And many of us are experiencing a feeling of overwhelm, which may register as STRESS in our bodies.


Slowing the pace and giving ourselves and our children the gift of PRESENCE can go a long way.


‘Tis the season to go within and LISTEN to what we NEED...


And to be intentional about finding pockets of time to SLOW DOWN the pace. 


* * *


It’s amazing how we all seem to magically feel better when we step outside and take the lid (AKA roof) off...


We were all feeling a little emotionally ‘off’ before we went outside...


And our walking meditation was just the medicine we needed. 


We welcomed the fresh ocean air into our lungs.


We shared our observations of the beauty that surrounded us.


We slowed down our pace and were able to receive the gift of PRESENCE...


...An opportunity to CONNECT with each other and the natural world around us.


* * *


The combination of PRESENCE and CONNECTION may very well be the greatest gift we can give our children.


This is what deeper, more enriching, and long lasting relationships are made of.


When you work with me, we explore avenues to making more of this combination a reality in your family.


Under my care and guidance, you are first encouraged to look within yourself - your own needs and desires.


You bring your presence to our sessions, which allows for an awareness to emerge that invites the process of connection to yourself.


This foundation naturally lends itself to being more available and open for you to be more present with your children.


And this is where the magic of CONNECTION with your children happens.


This is the beginning of a different kind of relationship with your children that will have a positive impact on the quality of your relationship now and into the future.


There is no better time than now. Simply schedule your FREE 30 minute phone consultation to find out more TODAY. To do so, click on the button at the bottom of his page.


And if, after our initial consultation, you decide to move forward with transforming your life and your relationship with your children, holiday special offers are in effect through the end of this year!


With loving kindness,

Janet

Honoring Ourselves: Slowing Down and Doing Less

By Janet Namdari • June 30, 2026
Have you been feeling the pull to do less and slow down? And yet you still find yourself 'pushing through'? You're not alone. It seems this is a widespread phenomena amongst those with various backgrounds and roles. Our minds are continuously telling us to keep going with the doing and seeking... Even when we feel exhausted and can barely put one foot in front of the other. We reach for our phones to keep the busy going when there are 'breaks.' It's as if we are constantly avoiding something... It's almost like we're afraid to be still and just BE. We may, logically, know the value of honoring what our body/mind needs, yet we keep choosing the opposite, as if we aren't in control. And in this society that we live in, pausing and slowing down can seem unavailable - even impossible - and certainly undervalued. Enter intention and discipline. You see, If we want to experience more well-being and quality in our lives and in our relationships, we must be disciplined about self-care. We must be clear about our intentions to honor ourselves and our needs. This means getting specific . It means creating and sticking to a plan. And setting boundaries to protect the plan. I realize this may sound daunting and maybe even impossible... And this is where I come into the picture... I help people like you slow down by providing a container where intention is born and needs are uncovered so that a plan can be created to assist with honoring yourself and where you're at in your life. And you then you begin to experience the freedom to be the living, breathing, tuned-in and tapped-in being you were intended to be. Ready to get the support you need to honor yourself?

Perimenopause: A special reparenting opportunity

By Janet Namdari • March 17, 2026
I’ve made the conscious choice to reject the toxic negativity I see and hear surrounding the topic of perimenopause. To clarify, I’m choosing to view this phase in my life as a natural transition and a sacred invitation. An invitation to show up for myself - like a parent does for their child. To show up in a way that’s conscious and supportive. (NOT judgy and shaming) Feeling called to join me? I’m choosing to recognize that big changes are, indeed, taking place… Reminiscent of the pre-teen and teen years… Anxiety, irritability, pimples, headaches, inflammation, forgetfulness, shifts in sleep patterns, feeling extra tired, body appearance changes, etc. A recalibration of hormones is, indeed, taking place. And I’m choosing to have faith in my body’s process. And if we REALLY pay attention and listen, we gain insight into ways to offer ourselves support… It’s an opportunity to reparent ourselves, by offering compassionate, responsive care. Examples: -Resting when we feel tired, as opposed to ‘pushing through.’ -Noticing and validating uncomfortable feelings that manifest. -Replacing body-shaming tendencies with love and appreciation. Want to join me in cultivating a new, kinder and more functional relationship with yourself? And regardless, of what life stage you’re currently experiencing, I’m here to help.
