Renee (La Roi) Shuttleworth – I have years of training and practice with the Focusing method. I am a Certified Focusing Professional (CFP) through the International Focusing Institute. I have worked with guiding focusers since 2000.
I have learned to welcome – the good, the bad and the ugly in radical self acceptance and found that we can move forward and change when we make space for what is inside of us.
I was introducted to Focusing in the late 1980’s when I was in art school – and I started to see a Focusing-Oriented Therapist that helped me learn to form a new relationship with myself. Focusing changed my life and I would like to share this practice with others.
I offer one-on-one guided sessions, mentoring for Focusing Certification students, and classes to learn how to Focus.
