"The personal life deeply lived always extends into truths beyond itself." - Anais Nin

Private consulting also available on any topics, plus:


The Inner Lover - based on my book, The Inner Lover, Using Passion as a way to Self-empowerment. Love is an explosion of energy that if denied, repressed, or cut off results in the loss of passion and meaning in life. Exlore the transformative effects of love, regardless of the outcome in relationships. It is essential to see that the fantasies of love have a dual purpose. One is to instruct us about what is going on in a relationship, and the other is to release new creative forces in our soul. Techniques for journaling, dreamwork, and imaginal writing will be presented to show how to work with the inspiration of love.

Effective Business Writing Program - shows individuals how to write clear, focused, reader-friendly: letters, memos, emails, reports, proposals, manuals, resumes, sales and marketing materials. My aim is to reduce your paper work and get your message across quickly.

Writing Your Family History-From Start to Finish Topics include how to describe people, decide what to include or omit, handle sensitive areas, create drama, interview relatives, determine final form. This program is designed to help those who haven’t started, are overwhelmed, or want to publish.



"It is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow."
- Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
