What is the
Emotion Spa?
“what if you could change your life by changing your questions?
A one-on-one Direct Service Provider, ESpa is a virtual destination that promotes psychological hygiene with a well-being coach.
Emerging from the Covid crisis, ESpa’s beginnings were in support of our caretakers. Post-covid, it’s clear that we all have support needs, and can become more self-reliant in meeting them. So we expanded our offerings, and developed signature spas that foster your ability to reframe personal day-to-day experiences of ‘stuckness.’ To revise your self-stories through one-on-one Meditations or Expressive Writing sessions.
To co-vision change around past and present experiences of bullying.
I invite you to practice untangling day-to-day micro-reactions that have become ruts and sustain imbalance in your life. Participate in sessions that include sharing, feedback, and small, actionable strategies that help reframe your response patterns.
How do you manage ‘potholes’ in your day–Expectations, Guilt, Setting Boundaries, and Criticism–to name a few?
Hour or half-hour sessions introduce you to hands-on Mental Health Self-Care regimens.

The mind of others I know well
But who I am I cannot tell
My eye is much too close to see
I am not what I saw and see

About Me
I’m a social psychologist best known for my peer-reviewed research and writing on bullying. Hands-on programming led me to look closely at the long-term effects of this blame / shame dynamic.
To reflect on the unproductive emotion habits that arise in response to it.
To reframe the ways that we all, for whatever reason, get stuck in automatic response patterns and resist change.
To ask
Why is it that despite our best efforts
we’re still trapped in emotion-patterns that
no longer serve us ?
My answer to this question, and my broad range of experience in higher education, Social Emotional Learning, private coaching, and the autism community led me to develop ESpa, and become a well-being personal trainer
