History and Benefits
Over many years of practice, and when seeking her own healing journey, Dr Toula saw that many shadow work approaches were too theoretical, overly spiritual and not grounded in science or research, or were disconnected from daily life.
In response to these identified needs, she created a grounded, ethical method that combines psychological depth, creativity, and cultural awareness.
Today, Shadow Work Solutions focuses on:
-
Integrating the shadow self with everyday experience
-
Developing self-mastery and emotional balance
-
Applying personal insights in all areas, including life, love, learning and leadership
Dr Toula’s ultimate goal is to help all individuals in their unique individuation journey to Self. That is, to develop self-knowledge, self-understanding, self-awareness, self-insight and self-development.
