Anita Coolidge

After beginning the pursuit of a Business Admin degree, but finding that people seemed to seek her out to share their problems, she changed to Sociology, eventually earning a BA in Social Work at the University of Washington. After working in "the system" for a few years, she turned toward marriage and raising a daughter. When the marriage fell apart after only a few years, she discovered that the methods that gave her the most support and healing were the alte ative path. It was the mid-'80s, and since these methods were just coming into the light, she started her own public access television program where she interviewed alte ative healers and spiritual teachers so that a broader audience would receive the benefits.

It was in the course of producing the show that she met and interviewed Sondra Ray, who had collaborated in the development of the process of Rebirthing and established the Loving Relationships Training. Thus bega Anita's own deep inner transformation and subsequent training in breath work and the "rewriting" of one's "inner script."

Over the last 20 years, she has also been trained in Reiki, hypnotherapy, the Yuen Method, as well as other modalities; has received empowerments from a Tibetan lama; and has studied healing practices from Egyptian and Hawaiian sacred traditions. The combination of the power of divine light and breath with her intuition and compassion in employing the various tools mentioned makes for a client's expanded inner knowing and transformation, a strengthening of the connection with self and the divine, and an empowering inner peace.
