ABOUT ME
Welcome to Essential Journey Wellness.
This grew out of Essential Journey Counseling, the practice I founded in Gaston County over a decade ago, and out of what I kept running into there. Some work does not fit inside an hour. Not because the therapy is wrong, but because the format is.
So this is where the other formats live. The Free Your Mind Retreat. Intensives for couples, individuals, and families. Strong Women, the masterclass. Workshops, Tea with Cyd, and the podcast.
Different work needs different rooms.
