About Us

This bio is kind of long, but hey - I'm an old woman. I've always been a worker, and it's crazy to think I've been working for 53 years. When I was younger, I felt like Scarlett O'Hara and now, as a sage elder, I'm definitely more like Professor McGonagall. I loved working so much that I never settled down with a life-time partner, didn't have kids, and traveled the world as an independent consultant mentoring other people to help them be more successful. And now, it's time to leave a legacy that I sincerely hope helps ease pain and suffering for millions of people in the next few years.

My Compass Program for Navigating Life after Loss takes students on a journey from shattered to stability in just six weeks. It is simple. And it works. I channeled Scarlett and Minerva and used their grit and magic when I created it. And now, I'm going to give it away through a Certified Guide Program. I'll be teaching other lightworkers and healers to implement the program and share it with their clients, customers, patients, and communities. They'll just pay for the certification training and support and then the program will be theirs to share with the world. My dream is to have it taught at St. Jude's Children's hospitals because they hold a special place in my heart. I volunteered in the rehab and oncology wards at Children's Hospital of Denver back in the 1980's and learned first hand how excruciating children's cancer is for a family. 

Right now, I have a burning desire to fulfill the legacy of having Compass go viral and adopted and accepted in the world. It all started in 1998 when I sustained a life-threatening brain injury in a car crash. I was evaluated at Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver and told I would never work again. In the prime of my life - I was forty, fit and fabulous and had a two-year old independent, international management consulting practice that was just taking off. The doctors advised me that I needed to take anti-depressants, pain killers and sleeping pills and prepare for life in a wheelchair as I lived off the insurance money I would get from suing the man who was cited for reckless driving after T-boning my car.

As a determined, independent thinker and problem solver - I didn't do anything the doctors said - no pills, no lawsuit, no wheelchair. My brain was so messed up that I didn't even collect money from the insurance company and never applied for disability benefits from the government. Instead, I turned to Eastern medicine and Eastern practices to heal myself - found my sixth sense - and became an energy healer and medium. I've also written four books - an Amazon best seller about Y2K preparedness; Enlightened by Accident - The Awakening of a Psychic Medium; Stress Free Success - Where East Meets West; and the book I believe every household should have Organic Grief - A fresh, natural approach to healing after loss. The books are all exceptional in their own way, but I don't focus much energy promoting myself, so you won't see hundreds or even dozens of reviews, but please judge these books by their covers and check them out at Amazon. (As the first person in my family of origin to ever graduate from college, a BA in English Education from Colorado State University was the foundation for me being the writer and teacher I am today. And, I feel fortunate to have earned an MBA at the University of Colorado at Boulder.)

About ten years ago, I realized that I was kind of an expert at recovering from loss. And that began a long journey of losing even more. You name it. I've lost it. I've lost homes, had every memory of my life stolen from a storage unit (every photo that wasn't digital, every treasure from world travels, the family recipes, my grandfather's footlocker from Pearl Harbor, and my most cherished possession - my grandmother's mixing bowl. And her exquisite entertaining linens and dishes, and all of her holiday decorations were taken as well. So my heart especially goes out to those who have lost homes and possessions in natural disasters (the toughest part is the guilt). Three months after the storage unit burglary, I lost my young nephew to suicide. I also lost my reputation as a respected management consultant (the woo woo stuff didn't really fly  with corporate clients). And then I lost my heart and companion Stewart - an orange tabby cat - when we were exposed to black mold in a 110 year old adobe house in 2023. I just completed my third residential move in three years and am hoping my cat Max and I can stay here for a while, but then I've always been a nomad, so you never know.

During the last ten years of learning to live for the lesson and not the loss; I created, honed, toned, tested and perfected the Compass Program for Navigating Life after Loss. It combines nearly three decades of wisdom coping with physical pain and symptoms that still linger from the brain injury; being a lone traveler with no partner, no family, and no children; and being on the road in Europe and North America for almost two decades helping other people be successful. But, the good news is that I won. I've turned my pain into purpose.

If you are interested in expanding the reach of a healing solution that enables people who are suffering from devastating loss to find a framework in which to house and deal with their grief, then please schedule an assessment session with me so we talk about the possibilities you and I can create by working together.
