Awaken Your Self Respect, Resilience, Motivation and Inspiration

     The residue of our past is imprinted on the cells of our body and our subconscious mind. This subconscious clutter not only affects our lives but the lives of our children. Each of us, in some way, passes on our wounds to our children, and they to their children, so the pain is perpetuated from generation to generation. The root causes of emotional, mental, and physical diseases are tucked away in the body and subconscious. Grief left unresolved, and subconscious clutter, both have an enormous impact on our every day lives, and can distort our vision of self, others, and the world around us.
     After we have released and healed our past, we can then help our children create a more joy-filled and healthy future. We can replant in the soil of the subconscious, the seeds of beauty and nourishment through thoughts, words, and actions. We can attract good into our lives through the energy of our thoughts, witch then out pictures as our experiences.

A Powerful Tool for Addiction Recovery Centers, Social Workers, Hypnotherapists, Psychologists, and anyone committed to healing the past and moving into the present and future. Everyone relates to or identifies with something in this book.

Your innate wisdom, preparation, and intentions will come together to produce your desired outcome.

My Intention and Desire is to Awaken You to the Presence of Your Innate Wisdom and Strength. You were endowed at birth, with this Wisdom and Strength but too often they have been lulled into sleep by your Past still living and thriving in your body and subconscious mind. Once Awakened, the Awareness that you do possess these gifts can move you beyond your past grief, disappointments, and pain that may now be blocking your mental, emotional, or physical success. You can then move on to Success With R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

     The past 25 years have been spent educating and counseling people of all ages in areas as diverse as scientific principles to caring for and healing the mind, body, and emotions. I have worked as a high school science teacher, sales professional, sales trainer and manager, and a massage therapist.

     For the past 13 years, I have guided clients through their grief, depression, severe anxieties, addictions, and self-esteem and confidence issues. In addition to working with others, I have also done a great deal of work on my own “self” issues and grief.  These would include the caring for and witnessing the death of my mother from cancer, my brother’s suicide, and the death of my father from leukemia. These experiences, as well as several others, have given me a deep understanding and appreciation of loss, and the journey to recovering from loss. These personal experiences, as well as, the experiences of those I have helped and guided, has given me the ability and the wisdom to help others avoid many of the pitfalls on the road to success and wellbeing.

     In 2006, after my brother Gary’s suicide, I wrote and published my first book, “Looking At The World Through A Fractured Lens- Subconscious Clutter and Grief Distort Our Vision”. The catalyst, of course, was Gary’s death, but the book incorporates my personal experiences with the experiences and innovative hypnosis and grief work I have done with clients. In 2008, my second book was released; “Yes, You Can Have Success, Love, And Abundance- You Can Do It With R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” This book is a combination of inspirational quotes, knowledge and insight gained from experiences of clients, and personal wisdom gained through my own experiences.

     I was trained and certified as a
Certified Grief Recovery Specialist® by The Grief Recovery Institute, which is internationally recognized by educational and service organizations. The Institute advises faculty at several universities and consults for funeral homes, cemeteries, hospitals, and churches. In 2003, the Institute published The Grief Index- The Hidden Cost of Grief In America’s Workplace, which was favorably reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.  The Institute is located in Sherman Oaks, California.

The roots of your success, prosperity, or love, grow very deep and involve who and what you think you are; and who and what you really are.
