About Mandy Bird

MY THERAPUETIC STYLE

What I teach, I have lived; honed through 30 years of being trained by cutting-edge leaders in the fields of Psychology, Spirituality, and Leadership. I support those who have been shattered by grief and are teetering on the brink of giving up on their true purpose. My gift is in interpreting our grief and sense of overwhelming loss using clinical interpretation, the subtle but powerful message of symbols when used to unify us with our human purpose, and by accepting you and your experiences without prejudice.

Fascinated by Archetypal Psychology, my therapeutic style lends itself to the paradoxical; a concept I feel is vital to any healing process. My belief in intuition and divinity are honed into a refined system that emerged from training with some of the most respected teachers of our time. Some have described me as part intuit, part scientist, and even part journey companion.

I do not deny that grief changes us. On the contrary, it is that change that she helps us celebrate! We are in fact on a divine, perfect, and perpetual continuum of purpose and expression. You are not in pieces at all! I hope you will allow me to take your grief and repurpose its burden through soulful reconciliation so you can EMBRACE YOUR OWN POWER!

She possesses both the passion and pedigree for her work, and is considered master and pupil, a virtuoso in her field of social equipoise, and a connoisseur of the subtle but powerful message of symbols when used to unify us with our human purpose. She has a deeply cultivated commitment to accepting others and their experiences without prejudice. All the while possessing a full understanding of how to mitigate the specific cultural, and religious barriers that often inhibit our desires to embrace our own power.
