sharing the love

A few years ago, the stress of my work life collided miserably with my childhood trauma and home life. I was devastated and needed help fast. The Universe was kind enough to lead me to Summer Sunderland and she helped me transform my life.

Summer helped me build comfort and trust with her quickly, and tailored the work we did together to my needs and comfort level. She has researched and mastered many treatment models and is highly focused on offering options that both challenge and promote emotional, mental, spiritual and relationship growth. I have the highest regard for her breadth of knowledge and skill, and her ability to guide me into methods she feels would be helpful, and encourage me to look at the pain I have had in life in order to heal it. Safety and trust have been two of the most limiting factors in my life. Summer has always been aware of this and has taken measures to assure me I am not alone in my journey. She has been there with me the whole time.

My healing journey with her has taken me from devastation to living my best life. My journey has not been easy but it has been extremely satisfying and the results are that I am confident in my ability to trust myself and my chosen path, and know that I am better a woman, mother and partner. Without Summer’s respectful encouragement and guidance, I don’t believe I would be where I am today. I am so grateful she was put on my path as a counselor, teacher, coach and healer. She is truly an amazing woman and through our work together, so am I! 😊

I recently did a coaching session with Summer and it was incredibly unique, powerful & deep. Summer helped me clear years and years of blocked energy in the core of my being… through her compassionate & intuitive skills and care. She was then able to help me to reclaim my inner light, voice, energy & confidence. It was as if there wasn’t room for both the energy blocks & all the flow I desired… I shifted and then integrated the new information and energy quickly & easily with her guidance. In the two weeks since, I have felt a deeper a connection with life… a deeper sense of self, of peace and love. I have been able to make decisions with ease, care for myself and my loved ones with more joy & ease and I’ve had a greater sense of belonging & trust. I highly, highly recommend seeing Summer for coaching. We have one life to live… we deserve to have it be joyful, vibrant & healthy. I am so excited to see what else is possible when working with her! Thank you Summer! Your love & brilliance is such a gift!!

To describe a DivineWildFlow Healing Journey with Summer Sunderland is to describe the most transformative healing and awakening experience I was looking for but didn’t know was possible let alone available as a healing resource and process. However, it is, and once I met with Summer I knew, sensed, and felt on a deep inner level that this is what I needed at that time in my life and healing journey. I had done many years of traditional therapy, which was helpful in giving me a base on which to move forward with learning coping skills, finding some self esteem, facing my traumatic history, and building a stronger sense of self and who I was while also finding hope in a future I never thought I could or would have. However, more importantly, I discovered that this sort of traditional therapy wasn’t where my healing journey was meant to end and deep within I knew there was still something missing and I still felt empty and lost in my own world. When I found Summer and read more about her work and reached out to her it became clear that she and her work were what I was desperately searching for, a path to finding and discovering my higher self and connecting with the inner strength I had within. With her vast and amazing knowledge, patience, intuition, awareness, understanding, and guidance with helping me clear so many years of stuck negative and heavy energy I wasn’t even aware of within myself and guiding me through the process of safely releasing all of that darkness, I found the light within myself that I knew existed deep within but never thought I would ever be able to see or access it again. But, in this process working with Summer, which is probably the most difficult inner work I have ever done but knew I was truly ready to do, I discovered the most beautiful thing! My essence was ALIVE! I could feel her and connect with her and more importantly, feel her strength and love and compassion. I truly felt whole as a being. My physical body and mind now had all the pieces back that had left her feeling so alone and desperate, her soul and essence were shining. What a gift, and Summer was the guide that led me on this journey to find this. It was the hardest work I have ever done, but so rewarding and transformative. My essence is ALIVE, and it is the greatest feeling I could ever have imagined. Thank you Summer.

The decision to pursue counseling is not always an easy one. It is a very personal journey on the path to feeling better about one’s self. Plus, how do you know if a particular counselor is right for you? Over time, I have had the need to seek counseling and sometimes I would have a counselor, but for whatever reason, it didn’t seem like a good fit. Then, I was fortunate enough to find Summer Sunderland. Her motto “Your Path… Your Way” really sums up what Ms. Sunderland is all about. From day one, I felt very comfortable talking about myself and my situation. Because of this comfort level, I was able to talk about my feelings and events in my life that were sometimes too difficult and painful to discuss. Her genuine empathy and caring puts you at ease and puts you in a safe zone. Her insights and intuition are usually spot on. It never ceases to amaze me how much I learn about myself during my sessions with her. There are times that I don’t feel like going to my appointments with her, usually because I think I just don’t feel like dealing with my issues on a particular day, but I go because I know I always feel better after my session with her than I did before. She is a great inspiration and somehow makes you feel motivated even when you yourself do not feel it. I can honestly say working with Ms. Sunderland has made a huge positive impact on my life, in many ways.

Summer is a wonderful coach who has helped me grow immensely throughout our sessions. Through breath work and energy work we have been able to clear a lot of the traumatic stagnant energy I had within me. Summer consistently helps me stay reconnected and grounded through the different levels of spiritual awakenings and experiences. With her help I remain focused on myself, my goals and trusting my inner compass. We work on consistently incorporating themes of inner guidance, self reliance, self love, and self empowerment. Summer is the best counselor I’ve ever had and definitely one of a kind. If you are going through a spiritual awakening of any sort, reaching out and connecting with her for her guidance and will be life changing.

There was a time I was diagnosed with Abused Woman’s Syndrome, PTSD, Stockholm Syndrome as well as a victim of child abuse and to some extent neglect.

However, today, I write this with my head held high and my back straight, knowing I have value as a woman and a human AND that my essence has a worth I did not know existed. Without Summer I would not be where I am today. She worked with me and not at me, at my pace and with respect to my beliefs and how I was feeling. With her guidance I found my lighthouse. With Summer’s compassion and help I walked through fire after fire. Processing traumas in order to heal them. It was hard work and because Summer was there to help I breathed easier after each fire. I literally felt lighter in my Soul. I now have boundaries that never existed before AND I believe in me. No more doubting and believing what others say about my worth. I had tried other therapists and most times I left crying and feeling helpless and alone. I never felt like I was gaining on my journey in this life. Then I searched for a spiritual LCSW and found Summer.

I will forever be grateful, she, Summer, is not only my therapist but my life coach as well as I continue this life’s journey.
