The way of love is not a subtle argument. The door there is devastation.
Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall, and falling, they're given wings. -- Rumi Since childhood, Ginger has been helping folks find light in the darkness. She began formal meditation in 2006 and certified as a professional life coach in 2008. Inspired by the transformation she and her clients were able to achieve, she went on to study a variety of supportive methods including energy work, sound-based relaxation, and advanced meditative practices.
Today, Ginger offers services for overall life-support, blending 15+ modalities. She often uses her own life as an example, and encourages clients to see themselves and their situations from new perspectives. |
Why is it called Eclectic Dynamic?
The original coaching practice was Holistic Dynamic. At some point that entity became more of a community project, and I needed a different outlet for private practice that allowed more freedom of movement beyond wellness concepts. "Eclectic Dynamic" is better suited to contain all of the quirky projects I have on the back burner for the coming years.

Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves.
We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.
– Swami Vivekananda
I was raised Methodist-Catholic (in that order) and spent 14 long years in evangelical Christian school with a fear-based approach to religion; including hellfire and brimstone, restriction, and suppression. By 1990 I knew that coat didn't actually fit, and that my spiritual path would have to evolve somehow. It was around 1997 that I really started to awaken into that evolution with a sudden and profound realization that everything consists of the same kind of energy, and therefore everything - mind, matter, and more - is part of the same life force... And that this thing commonly called "God" could be so much more than what they peddled in church or school. In the ensuing years, explorations into physics happily confirmed what my heart had seen. I was beginning to wake from a long sleep as I connected the scientific with the spiritual.
Despite the expanded understanding, I continued for several years in a largely self-destructive lifestyle - damaging the body with substance abuse, letting worry and self-doubt rule my choices, avoiding difficult emotions, etc. Though I continued to uncover shortcomings, I was not yet strong enough to take action. Continued frustration and confusion eventually drove me to ask deeper questions; but without competent mentors or guides, I wasn’t making progress - I felt stuck and directionless. My mind was busy and clouded, I was frequently ill, and was steadily giving up hope. Pacified by poor advice that suffering was a “normal” part of life (!), I was settling in for a rather dismal ride.
Needless to say, the idea of settling didn’t pan out, either... Around 2006, I began to adopt active meditative and lifestyle practices that allowed me to begin to let go of the crutches. I was and am grateful to have never fully succumbed to the hazards to which I exposed myself in the early days, as I came to realize that my choices could have easily led to an early grave. The way out for me has been to constantly choose LIFE, as part of a growing expression of self-love. I got involved in my own existence, and through relentless self-inquiry and study underwent a total diet and lifestyle overhaul. Today, I continue to act on the compassionate and stern guidance of my mentors, and strive to choose those who demonstrate grounded clarity and balance in their own lives.
As a result of this ongoing work, my experience of life is consistently more beautiful and fulfilling, and it keeps getting more interesting. Even if things appear bleak, there is now an enduring sense of rightness in the core of my being. This journey of re-awakening is not something unique to my own path – it's ongoing and available for all. I'm eternally grateful to the many friends and teachers with whom I’ve had the honor to share this lifetime of experience; and as my own experience deepens I'm delighted to continue to offer what I can to all who wish to find their own unique way home.

Ditching the Dogma
If you want your 9th chakra aligned with the light of Metatron, and the crystal encrusted selenite ultraviolet wand to wave your troubles away so you can ascend from the density of this world; I can give you referrals to a hundred popular spiritual healers. If you want someone to tell you exactly what you want to hear, or to blame your suffering on some evil outside entity so you can escape, you'll want to lose my number. However...
If you've already started to look inside, and suspect that if you get quieter, you'll be able to hear the wisdom you know is there, I can help you interpret the signs and signals your body and heart are sending. If you're OK taking a peek at your dark side (trust me - it's not dark in there after all), then I'm your girl. If you're interested in surfing the junctions of science and spirituality, sans dogma, then welcome to my playground.
