For
the past 13 years, I have developed and facilitated workshops and
trainings based on personal and spiritual growth for churches,
schools, corporations, support groups and individuals with the desire
to change. Focusing on the powerful mind-body connection, my
work has evolved from an understanding that body, mind, emotion and
spirit are one, yet the parts that make up the whole are
multi-dimensional and have distinct differences.
Developing the mind-body connection with the presence of Self
love helps people transform their inner world.
This connection allows a greater freedom and harmony in both
the inner and outer world. Clients
find themselves more present and accepting, less reactive and less
stressed. They like
themselves better, forgive easier, and begin to take better care
physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
When our inner world is at peace, it is easier to bring peace
to the rest of the world.
My
own growth emerged from a place of despair at a time when I viewed
life as miserable and myself as unlovable. The young woman I saw
in the mirror hated herself and felt completely unworthy of love or
friendship. Something deep inside me knew that wasn’t true.
Recognizing my own pain opened the door to change.
When a friend gave me Louise Hay’s book, You
Can Heal Your Life, I discovered for the first time a voice for my
spiritual beliefs and a spark of hope for my feelings of
worthlessness. Slowly and
steadily I began to give my inner world the attention and love it
longed for, and learned to honor all of me.
That dark, cold and lonely place transformed into a warm and
authentic connection with Self. My
expression of joy, abundance and healthy relationships are living
proof of an internal transformation making change in the outside
world. Ghandi said, “You
must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
I am deeply grateful and honored to pay it forward with the
gift of self-love.
In
addition to the Heal Your Life® work, my background includes training
in spiritual coaching and other healing modalities.
I am also a professional speaker and published author.
I
am delightfully married to my greatest love and best friend, and
co-own a metaphysical store in Solomons, MD.
