Reading,
studying, and practicing the principles Louise Hay writes about in all
of her books changed my life. I have been practicing the
principles found in You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay since 1989 when I
was going through a difficult time at work and in my personal life.
Reading
and practicing the
principles in Louise’s writings helped me change my perspective and
learn that I am in control of my own joy. The greatest
realization was that if I blame others for “what is” in my life,
then I have just given them control of my destiny. If I am
responsible for how my life is now, then I can choose to change and
create the life I say I want to have. If I accept that
responsibility, then I have the power, I am empowered!
I
am committed to assisting others in developing and using their own
inner powers to create what they want in life through workshops, study
groups and personal/spiritual coaching. In 2000 I became
Certified to teach the Heal Your Life® workshops originally developed
by Louise Hay and am listed on the Achieve Your Dreams Teachers
Website. In 2008 I became a Certified Life Coach in
the Heal Your Life® tradition.
Through the use of skills and knowledge gleaned from classes,
workshops and work experience in family and group dynamics,
counseling, as well as ministerial training I provide people I work
with a safe, supportive atmosphere to experience the power of
Self-Healing. Everything I do in the HYL workshops, classes and
coaching is based on my commitment to create a safe place to explore
the needs that people find the most pressing. We all know what our
passion is inside, what our dream is. Through the classes I
offer, you can learn skills to help you recognize and live the life
you truly desire.
When we realize that we hold ourselves back by WHAT WE TELL OURSELVES
about situations and people - stuff that may not, and most of the
time, are not, even be true. We can then CHANGE [what a Scary
word] what we are telling ourselves and respond to the situation
differently, thus EMPOWERING ourselves!
Think of it: if
our "problems" or "challenges" arise from what we
are TELLING OURSELF, then we have the power to change our experience!
During
the past 20 years, I have both attended and facilitated workshops,
seminars and study groups on various topics that can be used to change
and improve an individual’s life, both professional and personal.
During this time I have gathered material and
info
rmation to share with others as well as learning truly transformational
techniques for teaching using experiential exercises. My goal is
to facilitate changes in lives, not to just motivate.
“Doing” creates new neural paths and leads to true Life Changes!
The
Heal Your Life® classes that I offer are: Heal Your Life®,
Achieve Your Dreams, Stress Management, Stress
Management for Women, , Your Ideal Life Work, Ordering

In
2002 I developed a workshop called “Hold your Vision” to assist
individuals in finding the best way for them to develop a clear goal,
then focus on that goal to bring that “vision” to fruition.
Brain storming, Treasure Mapping, and Mind mapping are three of
the tools taught in this particular workshop. Participants are
introduced to a method that can be used make your focus a laser beam
instead of a shotgun.
The classes that I offer are Experiential. It is through
experience that we tend to remember. According to Edgar
Dale, 1969, his Cone of Learning indicates that after two weeks we
tend to remember only 20% of what we hear, but 90% of what we say
or do. The goal of any workshop, seminar, or class should
not be solely to Motivate, the greater goal of my classes is to create
Positive Change for individuals demonstrated in both their personal
and professional lives.
My education
includes graduation from USF (University of South Florida) with a BA
in Social Science including most of the curriculum for Social Work as
well as study of the treatment of alcoholism and the effect of
alcoholism in the family, classes in Family Systems, based on Virginia
Satir’s work, Group Dynamics, Listening Skills, and Counseling.
During the 1980’s I also attended graduate classes at
Rollins
College
in
Orlando
,
Florida
studying Theories of Psychology and
Counseling. I assisted in Family Counseling Sessions while
working in the Child/ Adolescent Unit in a local Psychiatric Hospital.
