Other personal information:
I have lived five years in Arizona (near Sedona) after living in Oregon for 15 years. In 2009, I lived and wrote in Montezuma, Costa Rica, for three months. I once drove a tour bus in Nevada and lived on a Kibbutz in Israel. I love challenges and am courageous – sky diving, scuba diving, participated in fire walks, rappelled down a volcanic mountain in Portugal and am the mother of two college aged children! I am a co-author in the book, Wake Up...Live the Life You Love! I write articles on relationship issues, self published two books, "Conscious Relationships" and "Transcending Divorce: A Guide to Personal Growth and Transformation." I just finished a new book, "Freedom from Abuse: Finding Yourself Again." I am absolutely passionate about helping people step up to the next level in their lives, through personal one-on-one coaching, groups, classes, retreats, workshops, through my radio show and through my books. I am very creative and can develop a class or workshop to meet your personal and professional needs.
