Mother and grandmother, my life has been an interesting journey. Each step along the way helped me to understand that inner-peace is truly possible. Each step helped me to access and listen more carefully to a guiding inner silence.
This silence, the still Voice of the infinite Mind of Love, has been my greatest teacher. It taught me, through visions and inner- whisperings, that a profound majesty exists at the core of each one of us. It taught me that we, as the outbreath of divinity, are eternally loved, irrevocably innocent, and infinitely cherished.
A desire to share what I have learned inspired me to write the book and create the various processes and workshops found on this site.
At age 38, I began my college career at Wells College in Aurora, NY, received a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston University and Special Certification in Addictions Counseling from Harvard University/Cambridge Hospital.
Determined to find the secret to peace and happiness, I then explored alternative world-views: practiced Shamanic journey-work, studied Tai Chi and Chi Kung, completed the Landmark Forum Series and the Avatar program, studied several alternative healing practices and received certification as a Polarity Therapist and Reiki Master-Teacher.
In my search, I became a student and, in 1992, a teacher of A Course in Miracles. Later on, I studied Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health and became a CS practitioner.
My interest in the ideas of Quantum Physics eventually led me to participate in the Matrix Energetics training.
A seminar leader at national conferences, I have conducted workshops at Boston and New York area hospitals, as well as at major companies, including Xerox and BSFF.
It is, however, my belief that the inner-teachings provided me with the most profound credentials for my coaching, counseling and healing practice. I have had that practice since 1986 on Boston's Northshore.
Now, in the Rochester/Finger Lakes region of New York, I continue to facilitate a weekly Course in Miracles group, lead a variety of Spiritual Inquiry workshops and retreats, serve as Spiritual Coach and Counselor, offer healing support, and enjoy helping people awaken to their own Majesty.
