What people are saying
“ Hi Billye, I just wanted to let you know that our baby girl was born at home in a beautiful water birth in November 2022. She is just perfect! I have not experienced any anxiety attacks like in previous post partum experiences. I am grateful for all I have learned from you, as the techniques have helped and continue to help with everyday anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed. I am treasuring this time with my little newborn. Thank you again for taking the time to assist me in my pregnancy and birth experience!! I am also grateful to have the essential oils with me. I truly appreciate you!! ”

First I would like to thank Billye again for learning this technique to share with others on how to identify trauma and safe ways to handle trauma from the past as well as daily life. The most important thing for me was that it was all done in a professional manner that did not require verbally going back over years of trauma! I still use the techniques. I still identify big T trauma from little t trauma and apply appropriate training. For the love, respect, and non-judgmental support from Billye that I received I'd say she comes highly recommended!
Thanks, B. G. Idaho, 2022
