Most Significant Achievement:  The development of a series of powerful
self-help techniques, grounded in neuroscience, positive psychology and
mindfulness, in response to her confrontation with a life-threatening
illness. And, of course, the book, Bright Mind, Happy Heart, Best Life, which
shares those tools with readers.

​

These techniques have consistently demonstrated, for over two decades, how
it is possible to use simple sensory techniques to reverse-engineer emotional trauma, unhappy memories and rigid beliefs from cellular memory. Referred to
by many as "an attainable miracle for your life," these gentle yet powerful tools
facilitate instant results and lasting change.

"Not so long ago, I would not have believed it possible to be living my life of choice.
Not just living it, but thriving, happy, waking every day with a sense of unbridled
enthusiasm for life and for the contributions I make to others lives. 

 

It has been, and continues to be a wild ride! New experiences and adventures at

every turn. I've excitedly made the transition from workaholic frenzy to meditative
calm and a deeper connection to higher consciousness, from designer business suits,
hose and heels to leggings and denim, from fruity Merlot to fruit smoothies (more often
than not), from buttery French pastries (and a few too many extra pounds) to gluten-free
vegan brownies, and from relentless researcher and bookworm to 5-Star rated author.
I'm healthier, more creative and happier than I've ever been."
