Why CHIASMA? It relates to a very interesting part of our brain, the Optic Chiasma (or Chiasm) where the optic nerves cross. Visual information such as light and movement in the right visual field goes to the left side of the Occipital lobe in the brain while that from the left goes to the right. There's also non-visual but light sensitive pathways to the epithalamus and the Pineal gland, which has further connections and crossings to other parts of the brain and autonomic nervous system.

Autism Advice & Advocacy
Autistic people sometimes get overwhelmed by sensory issues, and can often have various sleep problems as well due to stress and anxiety. Sometimes geographic or social isolation makes it even worse by preventing you from even seeking assistance in person. Maybe long wait times or transport issues are a problem for you? Did you know that I can help you online instead? That can save us both a drive! Good for the planet too.
Having online access to advice and support from the comfort of your own home can often help ease the anxiety that anyone may feel when seeking assistance. I have lived experience as an adult diagnosed Autistic, with added knowledge and techniques that can help you navigate the stressful challenges of living in a Neurotypical world. I offer affordable advocacy "behind-you" "with-you" and "for-you" in person and by private, secure video or typing chats if you prefer. Whatever works, you let me know.
Meditation & Yoga Mentoring
Are you a teacher of yoga techniques, meditation or breathwork, and seeking a deeper dive into your craft? Are you wanting to better understand what you teach and how to share those benefits and precautions that your students may need to know? Who can you turn to when you want to know more? I offer evidence-based and peer-reviewed mentoring on various aspects of yoga techniques, particularly breathing and pranayama, and the various meditation techniques often taught in classes today.
How often can you consult with a brain scientist and clinician who is also a certified Yoga Teacher and professional Meditation teacher? Not often is my guess. So, if you're interested in knowing how certain practices can have a profound effect on the heart, brain and autonomic nervous system, then book a session and ask. If you want to know how the breath can be harnessed and used for better immune system functioning, book a session and ask.
I provide Professional Development training and Mentoring for teachers as well as secondary supervision for some of your students and clients that you may need some extra help with.
