Welcome to Pointe Wellness
with Vicki Lanier

Pointe Wellness specializes in supporting people to create increased  health by connecting mind, body and spirit. We believe in helping people of all ages overcome challenging life situations by drawing from their own inner strength. Through this process , a pattern of success begins to emerge!  People are encouraged to meet their potential through a variety of healing modalities including: individual therapy sessions, educational groups, retreats and workshops, and fitness classes such as yoga, Pilates and Nia.
   
     Throughout life we all encounters challenges. How we deal with these challenges can make a difference in our quality of life. Within each of these experiences lies an opportunity to find acceptance and contentment. An earlier crisis or trauma that originally created anxiety or depression can become a vehicle for resiliency.
    
     Mrs. Vicki M. Lanier, M. Ed., Licensed Professional Counselor, specializes in women’s issues and body centered psychotherapy. Her desire is to provide clients with a growth experience as they learn new ways to gain strength, confidence, and healing. 
Vicki graduated from the Leadership Training of BodySoul Rhythms®, a part of the Marion Woodman Foundation, and completed seven  years of study with Jungian Analyst Marion Woodman, Mary Hamilton, and Ann Skinner.  Vicki has been a Certified Nia Technique teacher, has experienced and taught yoga classes for 14 years, and has received her certification from Veriditas as a Trained Labyrinth Facilitator. She incorporates aspects from all of these trainings in the services she provides. 
   
     In addition to her individual counseling, Vicki offers a wide range of  groups, retreats and workshops. Some of her groups have included a Women’s Recovery Group, an ongoing Dream Group, and BodySoul Rhythms® Retreats and Workshops.  At these events, participants have opportunities within individual sessions and within groups to explore dream images and connect with an embodied voice through  spontaneous movement, art and writing.  For upcoming events, please visit the Services page.
   
     At Pointe Wellness, it is our intention to support healing opportunities within the community and in the world. While Vicki Lanier, LPC offers individual psychotherapy sessions at the Thimble Shoals office, there are many opportunities of various healing modalities that are supported through this website.  More about services and connections we recommend can be found on the Resources Page.

The BodySoul Rhythms® has provided me with a gradual and life giving experience of expanding peacefulness within myself, a reverence  for nature, and an ever increasing respect for all humans. Marion Woodman, Mary Hamilton, and Ann Skinner worked together in collaboration, as they allowed for this process to emerge organically. The work has a strong base in CG Jung which supports enlarging one's conscious understanding and becoming at home in the body. 
 A deepening of one's spiritual faculties with an attention to the heart can become a natural part of one's inner healing and transformation.

"The BodySoul Rhythms® work holds that psyche and soma are inseparable, and must be worked on together to come to consciousness – to the positive feminine in our bodies and the positive masculine in our creative pursuits."
      - excerpt from the Marion Woodman Foundation's Mission

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without words
And never stops at all.
- Emily Dickinson
