Welcome!! Adopted individuals share a unique and complex experience. However our stories differ from one another, we all have a common bond-we all know how it feels to be adopted! Whether your adoption was a closed or open one, domestic or international, and whether you are in reunion with your birth family or not, my goal for mindfuladoptees is to help us to connect and support one another with our journeys. Groups and events that are adoption-related will be posted to this group. Adopted perso …

Whether you placed your child recently or many moons ago, we would love to have you! We can also help connect you with post placement services, such as educational gr …

This group is designed for women who are longing to be a mom. If you are thinking of or going through IVF, Surrogacy or Adoption, this group is for you. I have done a lot of research and can’t seem to find much support in this area for moms-in-waiting. I would love for us to get to know each other and provide support that all so desperately need. I have an office in Burlingame where we can meet, but we can also find other locations that will work for everyone.

WHERE Are you stuck In Your Life?????? Clients usually do a constellation for a major block or issue that seems immune to all their efforts to change it.So, to explain a constellation just a little, all people carry with them an energetic field or blueprint of their biological families--this field has been called by some a family soul, or family conscience. That field has an enormous unconscious effect on each family members life and all the people they interact with. Long standing problems w …
