The Pain Point Is The Turning Point. Our clients come to our practice because they are supposed to go in a new direction. The problem is the pain & the overwhelm is blinding, and they don’t know which way to turn. The anxiety you feel is a Do or DIE signal–choose to live again or die with the devil you know. With over 20 years of experience, we’ve worked with individuals, couples, & families to help them break free from traumatic responses, toxic relationships, & unfulfilling patterns that keep them stuck. We follow the 3/7 rule. In 3 sessions, we end your pain; in 7 sessions, we give you the tools & insights to make lasting change.
We provide a compassionate environment and a proven roadmap for deep and quick healing. Our holistic approach combines the Safe and Sound Protocol, applied kinesiology, conscious forgiveness, prolonged immersion, memory reformation, and a 7-week coaching process. The typical response after a session is “I feel Light.” Call or email for a FREE 30-minute Consultation.

Approach Description: At the Becoming Institute, we believe healing is not just possible—it’s your birthright.
Our work is grounded in The Becoming Method™, a trauma recovery approach that integrates neuroscience, mindfulness, metaphysics, and deep emotional processing. We help clients move beyond coping, guiding them through a four-phase journey: Truth-Telling, Letting Go, Returning to Self, and Moving Toward Purpose.
We understand that pain often begins long before our conscious awareness of it—sometimes even generations before. That’s why our work honors the full complexity of your story, including cultural identity, spiritual beliefs, and lived experiences.
We offer a space that is:
Trauma-informed – Sensitive to the impact of trauma at all levels: individual, relational, systemic, and ancestral
Holistic – Embracing the connection between body, mind, spirit, and community
Culturally grounded – Rooted in Ubuntu philosophy and Afro-Indigenous wisdom traditions
Client-led – You set the pace. We walk beside you with care and skill
Our therapists are trained to resolve trauma rapidly and compassionately—often within just a few sessions. Many of our clients report deep relief after their first session, and transformative change within 3 to 7 sessions.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, childhood trauma, intergenerational pain, or simply a feeling of being “stuck,” we’re here to help you remember who you are—and become who you were always meant to be.
