Hi, Ariel here! - a little bit about me

Outside of working with my clients, I enjoy time spent with my little family - which includes the company of my husband Miguel, our five cats Oliver, Ottis, Little, Moskey, Antonio and our blue heeler border collie dog Bluey!!!

My free time is filled with long walks outside, immersing myself in the world of book’s, weightlifting, yoga, working on my Spanish, exploring downtown Dallas where we currently live, and finding tranquility through my daily meditation, and journaling practices.

I grew up in a loving family, had my dad, mom, little sister and brother. We lived and grew up in Monroe Louisiana- a small southern town where everyone knows everyone, and not much changes through the years. I see that as a good thing as well as a negative because I believe change is a sign of growth, change is a sign of health, and without vision, change, and action, people suffer. From a young age I could pick up on emotions and could see past the surface in people and certain situations, and it caused me to become a very emotionally developed, and deep-thinking individual. Growing up in a dance school, I was always aware of the comparison, competitiveness, jealousy, and even hate and self-hate that the girls around me felt and experienced. I was a student, assistant, teacher, dance was my life. But at the age of fifteen after coming into my own Spirituality, I felt and followed the call to surrender. Dance was something I stepped away from in order to step fully into my growth journey.

On that journey, where the whole world, and all its possibilities were now available to me, I traveled, met new people, became much more involved with church, and experienced having my first, second, and after turning eighteen, my third boyfriend. Thanks to being homeschooled and quite sheltered, I had little to no knowledge of what hard drugs were, and what it meant and looked like to be addicted to them. But even after parental warning against it, I started dating a drug addict, and for the next three years I would live in total chaos, pain, confusion, and what I like to call hell. Every moment felt like a life-sucking nauseating roller-coaster. All-in-all it was just heartbreaking. There were moments I was sure my soul would give-out or that my life would end, and even though they never did, one thing is for sure, that after witnessing or even being the cause of so much suffering, I knew I’d never be the same.

? How if I was on this supposed spiritual growth journey, did I end up here ?

Sensitivity to others is a gift. Emotional intelligence is a gift. Compassion and unconditional love are beautiful. But without self-awareness and healthy boundaries, are so easily abused. Because I lacked a foundation and a deep knowing of who I truly am, I allowed certain things into my life that became burdens that I was never meant to carry.

Would I take loving and caring for him back? No. Would I change the ways I hurt loved ones around me? Yes. But even though I could be angry that I allowed myself to stay in it for so long, I can’t because I have understanding for her. I have compassion for the level of spiritual maturity that eighteen-year-old Ariel was at, and I must applaud her for her strength, and her ability to see and wholeheartedly believe in the best of others, and their potential.

Now almost ten years later, I’m paring different abilities, and deep care for others with all the lessons many I’ve learned, in order that I would be able to assist others not only in their healing, but their empowerment, and to be a total believer in their complete life-transformations. What a total, and complete honor.

Would I be happy and content as a schoolteacher? Yes! A surfer in Hawaii? Yes! A barista? Yes! A wife and mother? Yes! But this is what I have been given, and this is what I am choosing.

I long to sit with people and talk with them about their dreams and all they desire to be and do in their life, and if at all possible, help them to clear what is in the way of it.

That’s just a smidge-bit of my story, who I am, and where I’m at, but before you go, if you’d like to try hypnotherapy, or just want a friend to chat with, please reach out.

All my love,

-ariel.
