Gabrielli LaChiara

Gabrielli has been working with families since 1987. Her practice includes: individual work with children, parents and caregivers; family sessions; consultations with schools; office, phone and in-home visits; and seminars/classes in parenting. Strongly influenced by her own healing, the Nurtured Heart Approach and Access Consciousness, Gabrielli has developed her own unique style of working with families. Sessions can include clearing, intuitive counseling, healing work, N.O.T. (neural organization technique), and energy work. She facilitates change on both the cellular and practical levels providing simple tools and strategies for relationship transformation while also generating consciousness and awareness on the purest levels. Her work is often referred to as "practical mysticism".

 A beautiful letter from a transformed mother:

 Hi Gabrielli,

I want to share with you my experience with transformation as a result of your class "Nurtured Heart Approach [NHA] for Parents & Teachers." I've been a frustrated parent for awhile; I felt my son was oppositional and I just couldn't seem to get a handle on it. My husband, who grew up with lots of yelling in the house, thought everything was "normal"; yet I felt there had to be a better way. I was lamenting about this to a colleague, that in fact our mornings had become unpleasant routines that neither of us enjoyed, rooting our days in conflict, sometimes making us late, and would be taken up again at the bedtime routine. Not just that but my son was diagnosed ADD, with possible speech problems, and appeared to have fine motor coordination problems in his right hand as well as being way behind in his reading skillls. I just had to get a better handle on my son's development.

I had not heard of NHA, but was encouraged by a colleague to learn more about it by taking this class. I visited your website and was intrigued, although it sounded a bit like New Age thinking (which appeals to me on one level but does not necessarily have practical applications). Fortunately, the universe cleared a path for me and I was able to create space for this class in my life. After the first class I was able to apply the principles of NHA. After the second class, I was able to refine my techniques. Classes 3 & 4 further deepened my understanding.

Recently, I showed up to my son's class for my usual volunteer time. My son seemed to be focused on his work (yes, this is unusual). After the class, the teacher sat down with me and said "I just have to tell you, I don't know what's changed, but your son has been on fire these past few weeks. He is paying attention, he's raising his hand and his reading has improved." I felt like jumping up and down, because I knew exactly what had changed - ME! My approach to parenting. I learned how to not feed into "primal brain" tendencies, to make emotional space for my son, to believe in his greatness. As a result, I empower, I coach, and I do not reward temper tantrums with my attention. The turn around is magic. He is getting himself ready in the mornings, taking responsibility for his time, helping me with chores and just being a joy. We're not perfect, but we are experiencing joy.

Thanks Gabrielli, for making this real for our family!
