I believe that good sleep and a connection to the wisdom of our dreams are foundational to well-being.
As we quest towards a deeper level of awareness, and try to understand and integrate the numerous personal and collective factors that call for our attention during our waking life, it seems that our dream lives are becoming more active. Over the last few years, ever since the beginning of the pandemic, people have reported that they are remembering their dreams more frequently, and that these dreams are more vivid and filled with intensity. Additionally, as part of a holistic approach to well-being, many of us continue to look for ways to get better sleep so we can enhance our health, optimize our resiliency, and better manage our stress. One of the cornerstones of my work is to guide people to understand what insights their dreams are bringing forth and how to sleep better. I do so through my 1:1 consultation work, education offerings, my book The Complete Book of Dreams, business consultation, program development, and insights that I share in publications. Here are some highlights of my work in this realm.
Product/Program Development
I love working with companies to create products and programs that will meet the needs of their clients who are looking to enhance their sleep and/or connect with their dreams. My recent projects have included:
Captain Whidbey
I developed Unwind into Sleep for the Captain Whidbey hotel in Coupeville, Washington. For this program, I created a bespoke sleep/dream guide as well as developed and produced a sleep meditation for guests. I also curated a section of the hotel’s gift shop with products focused on sleep, dreams, and wellness.
Frankie & Jo’s
I partnered with this female-owned plant-based ice cream shop to develop special flavors—Dream State, Night Sky, and Blue Moon—that centered on dreams, and created supporting educational and promotional content for their Instagram.
MindbodyGreen x Avocado Mattress
I provided astrological insights and bedroom tips for a series of four videos in which interior designer Jessica Pickens designed four bedrooms, one for each of the four astrological elements. View the water sign video here.
Chikahisa Studio
I worked with jewelry designer Ann Chikahisa on a collaboration in which she created a specially designed piece of jewelry inspired by a dream. We also created and led an associated educational program and dream collective promotional give-away.
I’d love to discuss ways we can work together in creating innovative and engaging products and/or programs for your business. Send me a note and let’s schedule a time to chat.
