Over the past twenty-five years, I have been fascinated by the roots of conflict, on both personal and international levels, and the path to peace. In 2018, I was honored to receive the Champion of Forgiveness award from the Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance. To see a short video of my acceptance speech at this event, go here: https://bit.ly/3amiB1n5D In the early days, I learned about the power of the breath to heal and expand consciousness. After a lot of personal experimentation and training, I became a breath worker. I call my unique style of breath work Breath of Life. After taking some time to have a family and raise my two children, I went back to school. My academic training is in Peace Studies (BA, Union Institute) and Dispute Resolution (MA, Pepperdine Law School). I studied the question of why human beings argue, why we so often resort to violence, and what we can do to create peace – internally and externally. In the late 90’s, I discovered the work of Colin Tipping and Radical Forgiveness. I underwent extensive training with Colin to become a certified Radical Forgiveness coach. I found that Radical Forgiveness was the perfect complement to mediation and communication skills. I’ve also completed domestic violence counselor training and 12 step work. More recently, I’ve been delving into applications of forgiveness in the healing of addiction. In 2016, I completed Recovery Coaching training and became certified with Being True To You. I now offer coaching for anyone who is committed to recovering from addictions of any kind. We explore many helpful tools and practice ecstatic forgiveness, not only to heal the original cause of the addictive behavior, but to heal from self-hatred, self-criticism and self-doubt. As a peace educator, forgiveness counselor and recovery coach, I have worked with individuals and couples, for county government (Family Court Services), with prison inmates and at-risk families, with non-profit organizations, businesses and schools. Everything I do with my clients is geared toward greater self-knowledge, release of fear and pain, and deepening of intuitive wisdom. I include inspiration from A Course in Miracles, breath awareness, and reception of inner light for healing. This work involves the whole person – body, heart, mind and soul. I am passionate about what I do, and I’m in love with the freedom that comes from combining honesty, radical forgiveness, breath and stillness. The journey is spiritual, but not religious. It will move you into a whole new way of experiencing your life – and bring you to true inner peace and a feeling of joy that feels natural and whole.
