My Back Story

Being guided by my interest and the passions of my heart, after 21 successful years in senior retirement living sales and marketing, I chose to leave that career in order to explore a deeper spiritual urging to help people break free from the mental and emotional struggles, physical distress and spiritual bankruptcy that keeps them from living a happier, healthier, more fulfilled life.

Working with so many seniors and their families over these years opened both my eyes and my heart. It was heartbreaking watching adult children and their senior parents struggle in dysfunctional relationships as they suffered from disconnection, distrust and loneliness.

And simultaneously, I observed and engaged with other families who weathered the changes of life beautifully in such connected, supportive and loving ways. It brought to light my own internal struggles and fueled an inner drive to do whatever I needed to do in order to heal so that I could weather my own life in a more connected, trusting and loving way.

So even though I was leading a successful career, I was also internally struggling with feelings of inadequacy, social anxiety, fear of my own emotions, workaholism, perfectionism and underlying symptoms of relational trauma, when I came face to face with a diagnoses of breast cancer.

Needless to say… (I can smile about this now!) Something had to change in my life… and that something was definitely me!

So, after recovering from cancer treatments and becoming cancer free, it became obvious to me that I needed someone to help me make needed changes because no matter how many self-help books I read, and no matter how hard I consciously tried on my own to change, those personal issues just didn’t go away, and I knew they were draining my LIFE FORCE.

My experience of life began dramatically changing once I was introduced to HYPNOSIS through indigenous healing practices and began working directly with my UNCONSCIOUS MIND to bring into balance the spiritual, physical, emotional and mental aspects of my life.

Using HYPNOSIS in combination with other healing practices and help from a highly effective non-traditional therapist, whom I chose to support & guide me through this transformation process, I was able to heal my body’s unhealthy unconscious responses, release unsupportive beliefs, CALM AND CONTROL MY MIND AND BODY, welcome and then process my emotions, reintegrate rejected unloved aspects of myself and heal myself back into a feeling of wholeness and connection.

I was able to build a resilience to stress that I’d never experienced before, and I continue using self-hypnosis, indigenous healing practices and other rapid change techniques to successfully deal with the daily ups and downs of life.
