Sessions for individuals and couples

Through shared presence you meet yourself deeply, and connect with what is essential.

Rhonda Mills, (she/her) Founder of Transformation Playground

Working with me brings space and presence to your process. 

I am known for creating a space of compassion and understanding, and for my ability to zoom in on important details which are ripe to be included in presence and zoom out across space and time to include and integrate the big picture context in service of your moving in your direction.  

​Some examples of people's intentions for working with me are:  connecting with embodied and emotional wisdom; resolving inner or outer dilemmas; re-aligning with your felt sense of integrity; creating more balance in your inner world and your ecosystem; reclaiming your wholeness; recognizing and releasing self-shaming and separation; grounding in self-acceptance and acceptance of what is; and making peace with the past.   

In many cases, what we struggle with is not only individual, as our individuality is developed in relation to the environment we grew up in and the ancestral contexts and societal structures that impacted our environment.  Our work together may include ancestral healing and cultural / systemic issues which emerge as your process deepens.

​I celebrate your journey.

"Although we are born carrying the burdens of the past, we also inherit an obligation to heal our ancestral heart by giving a voice to what is unspoken, to witness that which is remote or forgotten, and to choose to reconcile the illusion of separateness.  This act of courageous love is what aligns us with the Great Mystery, unifying past and present, shadow and light, and seen and unseen."
​-- Dr. Ruby Gibson

TESTIMONIALS

I wanted to provide an update on our session and my integration of it. The session opened a new channel in me.  It relieved me of the burden of trying to fix legacy burdens of my ancestors.  It made space for my own healing.  It better connected me to the ancestors for helping me and for my own healing  Finally, the guy running around with a hatchet was not an ancestor as I thought, but my internal judge who is trying to keep me safe and who has outlived his usefulness in this particular role. -- Jean R 

Working with Rhonda as a couple has helped us both expand and deepen our relationship with each other and with ourselves. Rhonda holds space in a way that allows transformation and healing to unfold. In this space we are invited to check in with our bodies and listen to our emotions. Here we expand our capacity to be present with our own feelings as well as compassionately witness each other’s experience. -- R.W. & J.K. 

What I love most about Rhonda's coaching work is her ability to lead me to discover my own truths. I found the process to be liberating to know that the answers we seek are within ourselves. Rhonda's intuitive wisdom was very supportive - guiding, witnessing and validating my process, as I realized what I wanted and what needed to be done to live to my highest potential!  -- Michelle G. 

I've done years of therapy, read books, looked to religion, tried meditation, and practiced yoga, but until coaching with Rhonda, I never realized how many of the answers were already under my nose- and throughout my body. We are amazing creatures with so much wisdom and we don't even know it! Give yourself one of the best gifts you will ever receive and spend some time with Rhonda. It is empowering, exciting and FUN! In addition to wisdom, we are full of joy and this is a chance to reconnect with it.  -- Sarah H.

We did our coaching session via Skype & I loved that I could be in the comfort of my own home as Rhonda walked me through emotional and physical practices that helped me work on developing more flow of energy in my body and to trust my intuition and honor my emotions. Rhonda really knows how to approach difficult, personal issues with kindness and love that I quickly keyed in to wanting to develop that in myself as well. I still daily use her techniques she taught me, particularly "Yes Breath" and asking myself "wonder questions" when dealing with stressors in my life. I feel like I have a new lease on my life and that I can approach every day with a sense of wonder and discovery.  -- Megan H.

Rhonda Mills is one of the most joyous free spirits on the planet.  Her heart is wise, open, and widely connected--and she brings to her client work not only a truly impressive and holistic skill set and years of experience, but also the exquisite freshness of her very being.  Working with Rhonda is like traveling to the underworld on butterfly wings:  even the scariest parts of my life become translucent when I talk and sing and dance them out under her expert guidance and care. -- Lynnea B.
