Hello Awakenpedia! I’m thrilled to be a part of this community.

Here is the SHORT version:

I’m a hypnotherapist. I absolutely love what I do. I get pretty darn great results. I used to be a high school French teacher, but I took a leap to my dream career, and it has worked out beautifully. My first client, a golfer, wanted to improve his golf game. He left my office, went to the course, and golfed a hole in one. My second client lost 75 pounds and never put it back on. that was 3 years ago. I love to help people with all sorts of challenges, but my favorite is removing patterns that come from trauma and limiting beliefs imposed by  unhealthy family systems, religious dogma, and social consciousness. I would love to help anyone interested in hypnosis, and I will be offering courses here soon on advanced consciousness.  In addition, I am a PCI certified parent coach specializing in parenting adolescents. I’ve raised lovely boy-girl twins, have been married to my college sweetheart for 30 years, taught teens for 17 years, was a SAHM for 9, and for anyone who cares, B.S. Education, M. Education, CHt, CPC.

If you are interested, here is the LONG version:

I was definitely born with a God-shaped hole in my heart, as evidenced by the fact that I screamed for the first year of life, my own grandmother wouldn’t babysit me, and my mother feared that either something was seriously wrong, or I hated her.

Nope, I was healthy as could be. Just had a God-shaped hole. I’m pretty certain that the sentiment in those screams was “I changed my mind! Please, take me back! I didn’t know what I was signing up for!” Not only did I miss God, but it didn’t feel good here. My parents weren’t happily married, and I could feel it.

When I turned one and could maneuver my own body, it helped. I felt joy in movement and when I discovered sports, I came alive. Athletics, school, and setting my own long-term goals followed. I had some great coaches who introduced me to the power of consciousness to improve performance. I was riveted, and could not understand why the other girls were whispering to each other and missing out on this magic wisdom!   I was only 5’8″ and I wanted to play college volleyball.  What they were telling me could give me the edge I needed to compete with taller players. Those talks, unbeknownst to me, would set me on a course to hungrily devour knowledge about the power of the human mind, motivation, and psychology.  It also helped me earn a full ride Division- I scholarship, get my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education, meet and marry my now husband of now 30 years, and attain my career teaching and coaching volleyball. I had used what those coaches taught me to help achieve every dream I wanted at that time of my life.

But after buying our first home, I thought, “Now what? We work, maybe have kids, retire, travel,  and then die. There has to be more to this.

Fortunately my husband Pat felt the same way. We went to Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment in Yelm, Washington. Joe Dispenza was there. Linda Evans the actress was there. Selma Hayek attended once, just to drop a few names while I’m here.  This place was “out there” but what it was teaching was remarkable. Better yet, we had exercises to prove to ourselves that consciousness was responding to our thoughts! Ever heard of field work? It changed my entire view of reality.

We put an image on a white note card of something we wanted in our lives. We put that card in a baggy. We dispersed the cards randomly in the crowd of people, so they were scattered. Then we all walked out to a huge field ( about 2/3 of a football field) and clipped the cards onto the fence, white-side showing. Imagine about 250 cards, all appearing white, scattered around the field on the fence. Then we put blindfolds on, spun around until dizzy, then spun the other way, and were told to walk and focus on nothing but the image on our cards.

To make a long story short, at an event, I wholeheartedly engaged, regardless of the fact that this seems completely impossible–worse yet, absurd.  But I had paid for the event, and I did want to know if what we were taught was true, so I went “all in” this time. If another thought would interrupt, I would simply return to focusing on the image I had drawn on my card. I walked for 45 minutes and never hit a fence. I have no idea what kind of a figure-8 I must have been doing. But finally, I did make contact. So I put my hand out and felt that indeed, there was a card there. So, as instructed, I lifted my blindfold, turned the card over, and nearly fainted. It was mine. The first and only card I walked to, was MINE! I now would know, unequivocally for the rest of my life, that consciousness and energy indeed impact reality.

That was 28 years ago. Since then we raised our boy-girl twins Evie and Eli, an endeavor that more than any other, grew me into who I am now. The God-shaped hole really reared its head while I was a stay-at-home-mom. That led me to change careers and seek the fastest way possible to permanently heal childhood trauma. I couldn’t stand how I felt and I couldn’t stand the thought of anyone else feeling  that terrible ache. I also couldn’t stand raising my children in this world, so I had to figure out how to change it through consciousness. So I worked on my childhood wounds through talk therapy and then discovered hypnotherapy-the miraculous method that removed it for good.  From there, I have been on a spiritual upward trajectory that has never stopped climbing.

My husband and I have read and applied countless books on consciousness, attended many retreats, and even created our own sacred ceremony that we have practiced for 26 years with loved ones and friends. Just in 2025 we attended three events at the Monroe Institute, Dr. Stephen Greer’s CE 5 cruise, and Transcendence with Greg Bradden and more.  I plan to begin training to become a Monroe outreach trainer. My husband Patrick and I are now dreaming of opening a retreat center in two to three years.

The hole I was born with is not only filled, it is overflowing. I love to serve through my practice, my podcast, and courses I teach.  I most understand and long to serve anyone who is struggling with being human.

My dream of creating heaven on earth drives me. I’m an unapologetic workaholic.  I also love being with my family and friends, sitting in silence, and looking at trees.
