It’s winter here in Vermont, USA. The snow began making itself ever present on these lands on Thanksgiving and since then we’ve had many days with a new white blanket laid upon us. Our sheep are in the run-in-shed for the season, content to graze on bales of hay collected on sunnier days, enjoying the…
Following on the heels of several weeks of huge emotional shifts, I find myself coming out of darkness and into the light of day. As some of you know, I have been having a significantly human experience lately, and it has involved leaning into and letting go of old emotional wounds and patterns that have…
As a healer, I believe it’s important to be open and honest about my own healing journey. So here we go… My last RIM Mentor Training session (wherein we work with a Master Mentor and a Senior Trainer – in our case Dr. Deb) was not the example of progress I would have liked it…
It’s been a hot minute since I wrote a blog post here at Whole Human. And by a “hot minute” I mean more than a month. As many of you know in early September I (Chris) flew out to Denver, CO for the second week-long intensive that is part of my certification in RIM (Regenerating…
Today (8/30) is the third day that has passed since returning from my 64-hour Healer’s Training with healer David Elliott at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies. When I signed up for this training, I was hoping to get guidance on how to be a healer – I signed up before I found RIM and…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of self-love.

When I look at my life…
I’m two months through the four-month practice period for RIM (Regenerating Images in Memory). Thank you to everyone who has joined me for a session – your help has been so very beneficial to my progress as a RIM Facilitator. As I’m “leveling up” and moving into the second half of this process, the heat…
On Sundays, Jenn and I have attended “Sacred Sunday Yoga” at True Center Yoga here in Randolph. We’ve had this ritual for many years, but Emily Harvey Dooley, our instructor has closed the business for the next 3-4 months while she recreates her vision for the studio in a new location. In the interim, Jenn…
Here at Whole Human we won’t typically have “guest posts” on our blog. Most often they’ll be written by me (Chris) or Jenn. But for today’s post, we’ve got something different. Samantha Noone, an old friend and new RIM client sent me a testimonial after her second session. It is delightful, of course, to have…
As I continue to talk about RIM with folks, one of the things that come up in conversation is “who is RIM for?” The easy answer from me is – it’s for all of us. If you’re human, it’s for you. Why do I say that? As humans, we are (largely) feeling creatures, and while…
