Her grandmother encouraged the development of her rational mind through advanced education to gain credibility of her intuitive skills. Her life and teaching philosophy integrates this intuitive/rational balance. She has inspired

their own unique intuitive expression.

Many people have acted as mentors and guides along the way. She spent the most time with Native American teachers while still working in a career and developing seminars and programs that reflected the philosophy she gained on her journey -bridging the two worlds. The most important message gained from these experiences is that human evolvement is a choice. Our intention to change and grow is paramount to success and happiness. Integration and balance is the pathway to empowerment. Integration provides a gateway which allows access to the priceless gifts of self-knowledge, intelligence and creativity.
Our world is in a state of unprecedented change and transformation. Old worn out concepts of leadership and life skills are no longer valid for the times and challenging conditions that confront our lives. A major change is upon us. Many corporations, public sector and individuals know change is the only
way to meet this challenge. They are reaching out for education through coaching and training from experts that can accelerate the process of change. Her clients list includes individual, corporations, national and international industry leaders, CEO's and people from all walks of life One character trait that they share in common is their intention to continue the transformation process each day. They, also, believe that change is not an option but a mandate if they want to manifest their individual or corporate vision, goals and personal development. All of them agree, human resource is our most valuable asset.
