She combines both coaching and therapy with channeling guides. Clients share their story and issues, and together we deep dive into insights, subconscious blocks, behavioral patterns. Then together, in the coaching segment, we create a “toolbox” of life-affirming, problem solving techniques and practices, drawing heavily upon the knowledge of ancient wisdom and modern masters. Buffy creates a heart-centered loving relationship with her clients, and focuses on shifting their limiting beliefs and behavior to life altering paradigms of growth and empowerment. She assists the client in mind training, accessing the higher self, the spiritual source within, in which growth and healing can occur, wherein all answers lie.

Buffy has a rich background in running workshops on a variety of topics. These have included topics such as: women’s awareness and growth, shamanic journeying, spiritual enhancement, celebrating the seasons (solstice, etc).
