Opening Hours

Mon - Fri: 9AM - 9PM

Access Consciousness is based on the idea that you’re not wrong, that you know and that consciousness can shift anything. Many modalities clear the limitations built around words, Access clears the energy underneath the words.

Consciousness is the ability to be present in your life, in every moment without judgment of you or anyone else. It is the ability to receive everything, reject nothing, and create everything you desire in life, greater than what you currently have, and more than what you can imagine

– GARY M. DOUGLAS

Access Consciousness came into my life in 2018 during a time when I started really searching for something different. A psychologist by trade, turned life coach, and always seeking more…

I was looking for something that would ACTUALLY empower people towards happiness, more than all the “techniques” I’d been taught in school to “fix” people. I never much liked the model of psychology around diagnosing all the things that this reality says are “wrong” with people and I really quite preferred looking at what’s right about people, and building on that.

When I found Access Consciousness, it was like everything I had been searching for to empower others and to create a different reality for myself and the planet was here in these tools.

 I, myself, was always “different, “weird,” a misfit of sorts. I never quite fit in, even though I was good at pretending. But the anxiety that came with that… that people would see that I wasn’t like them…all the ways I tried to fit myself into boxes…

I used to have this sense of anxiety and fear that was underlying my every day. The racing heart and constant knots in my stomach were my norm.

Then I took my first Bars class…and really started to fall in love with this stuff…then I took another Bars class to move towards being a facilitator.  Somewhere in between my 2nd and 3rd Bars class, I realized I just wasn’t anxious anymore. I had been on medications for anxiety for a few years and started to ask my body if those were still required- I got that I didn’t need them anymore, but was still hesitant.  I slooowwwly came off them. I kept waiting for the anxiety and panic to return. It just didn’t. That was over a year ago now and Access Consciousness has become a bigger and bigger part of my life.

Access Consciousness is so different than everything I have ever done, or sought out,  in that it doesn’t ask you to rely on someone else to “heal you” or “fix you.” Instead, it provides the tools to invite you into being more you, after you start to clear away all the judgments you’ve defined yourself as.

If you are looking for something different-something that embraces your weird and gets your out of your head and into your BEING…get your Bars run, take a class, check out some books, listen to videos, podcasts…there’s so much here.
