What is an Angel?
Angels are the divine link that connect us to the creative forces. They are all around us. Angels are unembodied spirits that assist us whether we know it or not.
“Every visible thing in this world is put in the charge of an angel.” —Saint Augustine
“It is in rugged crises, in unweariable endurance, and in aims which put sympathy out of the question, that the angel is shown.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Around you, Angels hover lovingly, to keep away all darkened thoughts of sin, and keep the light where it has entered in.” —A Course In Miracles
What is a Guardian Angel?
Guardian angels are spiritual beings that are assigned to assist people here on earth in various ways. There might be a guardian angel for one person, or one guardian angel for a specific task for a lot of people. Some people have more than one guardian angel. Guardian angels intercept at many junctures in our lives and help wherever they can to make our lives run more smoothly.
Everyone has a guardian angel. A recent poll in Time Magazine discovered that sixty-nine percent of people believe in guardian angels. The only evidence we have for their existence is a long religious tradition, Bible stories and testimonials from people who have experienced events involving angels.
I have designed this class to assist you in finding your angels. The class introduces you to your own personal angel or guardian angel. By sharing stories of real life miracles, reviewing a history of angels, and then opening the way for your angel to find its way to you through a guided angel meditation, you will be able to welcome your angels into your life.
This is a two-hour class and can be taken in person, in a group or via Skype. This class also lends itself well to on-site workshops for church groups, retreats and women’s groups.

This workshop is designed to help you understand your personality, drives, beliefs, motivations and actions through archetypes. This understanding provides the ground work for a more balanced and harmonious life.
What is an archetype?
Can you name someone who:
- Is the classic mother, or father?
- Has everything they touch turn to gold?
- Is the ultimate athlete?
- Has an eye for spotting the real truth in a situation?
These are all archetypal patterns —or universal patterns of energy. They are dynamic living forms of energy that shape who we are and the roles that we play out at different times in our life.
Although there are many different archetypes, there are 12 primary types that symbolize basic human motivations. Each type has its own set of values, meanings and personality traits, and are with us for our entire life. Put more simply, these are patterns of behavior that are recognizable, e.g., King, Queen, Abandoned Child, Servant, Student, Judge, Lover, Artist, and Starving Artist.
The ancient Greeks are said to have been the first to recognize archetypal patterns, although it was Carl Jung, one of the founders of modern psychology, who first came up with the theory of a ‘collective unconscious’. Jung suggests that archetypal patterns are “constantly repeated experiences of humanity” that can be seen in every culture across history.
How do archetypal energies affect your life?
Have you ever wondered why a particular ‘story’ keeps playing out in your life? Perhaps it is a relationship pattern. Maybe, despite the fact that you are an independent person, you are not happy in a relationship unless you have a ‘white knight’ to sweep you off your feet and save you. Or maybe you are the sort of person who has to help anyone and everyone who seems to have a need.
The study and recognition of your personal archetypes helps you understand the symbolic meanings of your experiences. It is a way to:
- Bring more clarity into your life;
- Look at life in a different way;
- Accept changes that happen in your life;
- Get on with the real work of life that we are meant to do.
This awareness helps you find your mission in life and recognize the roadblocks or stumbling blocks that stand in your way.
How do you identify the archetypal energies that are affecting your life?
My four-part workshop will help you identify and understand your 12 major archetypal patterns and how you interact in the world through them.
- Introduction to the archetypes and discussion of the four archetypes we all share: Victim, Prostitute, Child and Saboteur.
- Exploring your other eight archetypal patterns.
- Learn about how the archetypal wheel helps you work with the archetypal companions who travel with you in your life.
- A personal one-on-one appointment with me will help you understand how these patterns are at work in your life and explore strategies to help them work FOR you.
You can take this workshop in person, in a group or via Skype. It also lends itself well to an on-site workshop for church groups, retreats and women’s groups.

You will look at life in a different way when you learn your Enneagram personality type.
The study and understanding of your personal Enneagram (an ancient Sufi system), will help you in understanding the symbolic meanings of your experiences. It is a way to get clarity and realization about yourself and others. It is a way to look at life in a different way, accept changes, and get on with the real work of life. The more you know about your own personality type and the types of others, the easier it is to travel your intended path.
Each Enneagram personality type has positive and challenging aspects. You will discover and learn about yours.
It can be fun and empowering to discover your personality type. It will help you understand your lifelong pattern and give deeper meaning to how you interact with those around you and how you respond to life situations.
There are nine different Enneagram personality types. Each individual has one Enneagram type that is their signature way of relating to the world, and also has one personal Enneagram. This lifelong pattern is how we interact with those around us and how we respond to life situations
Embrace your Enneagram personality type in my three, two-hour classes.
First Class: Enneagram Personality Type Test
This is a standardized, industry-wide test and is the first step to getting to know your current Enneagram type. We then discuss what makes you thrive in your environment and share life situations. I will guide you toward a deeper understanding of your Enneagram personality type and how it affects your life.
Second Class: Understanding All the Types
We will look at each of the nine Enneagram types, both their positive and challenging aspects. Together we will do some role playing to see how types relate to others in their world. You will also learn how to shift challenging Enneagram type combinations into type combinations that are productive and satisfying for everyone.
Third Class: Attributes of Your Enneagram Type
I will lead you in discovering how the attributes of your Enneagram “wings” (the Enneagram numbers on either side of your own) augments your personal Enneagram. Understanding this will improve your personal relationships and quality of life in general.
I will also explain how the arrows in the Enneagram chart can be used to direct you on your continuing, personal path.
If you are truly working on your life-path lessons, you will get to experience all Enneagram numbers in this lifetime. Enroll today and discover your current Enneagram personality type.
These classes can be taken in person or in a group. They also lend themselves well to an on-site workshop for church groups, retreats or women’s groups.

NOTE: Using Enneagrams in your organization and business can be very beneficial.
This class is a valuable asset for leaders who want to incorporate Enneagram knowledge into their daily business operation. This is an on-site workshop and can accommodate any number of employees or managers in a half-day time-frame. My process provides an in-depth look at how managers, departments and employees can learn the personality types of those they work with, thus learning to work more effectively and efficiently with each other.

Have you ever been in so much pain you wonder “How do I forgive?”
In this class I teach and focus on the following:
- Forgiveness that involves you looking at your part in a past situation, as well as it being about what another person did to hurt you or cause you pain.
- How forgiveness helps you release stuck energy and move on with your life.
- How you can heal yourself without the other person ever needing to know that you have forgiven them without them ever being involved with you?
This is a process of forgiveness that is a safe one that never puts you in harm’s way again – no contacting or informing the other person that you have forgiven them. You can be in contact with them and reconnect if you want to, but you don’t ever have to have contact with the person who has harmed you. They don’t have to know you have forgiven them or that you have even thought about them at all
Forgiveness is “For Giving,” the gift of healing and giving love to yourself. You will regain the piece of yourself that your anger has taken from you and that the other person owns. You will get back the piece of you that split off with your anger and pain. You will be able to let go of the anger and pain and reclaim that piece of yourself. You will remove all control that person had over you.
The class begins with you sharing your story at your own comfort level.
- We will spend time talking about how forgiving helps you in all the areas of your life and frees up your energy to flow in love.
- We will also look at how you can forgive yourself for mistakes you have made.
- You will understand how forgiving others begins with forgiving yourself.
- Forgiveness is a life-changing process.
- We will also discuss and explore which tools will best work for an individual’s forgiveness situation, and the “take-away” of the class is that you will have new choices around how you handle anger and forgiveness in your future.
- The last part of the class is a guided forgiveness meditation that will release stuck energy between all the people, living or dead, that you no longer have access to, which includes gaining forgiveness for anything you have done to someone else that they aren’t even aware of.
This two-hour class can be taken in person, in a group or via Skype. It also lends itself well to an on-site workshop for church groups, retreats and women’s groups.

What is a soul mate?
A soul mate is a person from whom you are getting spiritual information by having a relationship with them. A soul mate is not just a romantic love relationship. Soul mates include children, family, friends and your lover.
Where to find love?
Where to find love is a big question for most people who have not found the person they feel is their soul mate. They ask themselves, “How do I find my soul mate?” Or they ask, “How do I find love?” The answer to that question is, you can draw him or her and love to you.

Why learn to meditate
There are many health benefits to developing a meditation practice.
Meditation is a wonderful stress reliever that increases endorphins and lowers blood pressure.
Meditation also has a calming, mood enhancing effect that has a healing influence on the human body.
To receive the fullest benefit during your meditation, I have developed easy, deep meditation techniques that incorporates all parts of your body, including chakras and meridians, AND can be done anywhere at any time without anyone else knowing you are meditating.
Imagine being able to meditate anytime, anywhere, whenever you feel the need to ground yourself and clear your mind. What a powerful tool!
This is a series of three classes taken at your own speed.
- You will learn how you can use mindfulness meditation to enhance your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
- The classes are also paced for your spiritual development, and include guided meditations so you can practice and become comfortable meditating with or without a teacher.
Classes can be taken in person, in a group, on the phone, and via Skype. They also lend themselves well to on-site workshops for church groups, retreats and women’s groups.

You can attract the outcome you want!
I teach a unique three-part process for manifesting anything your heart desires.
I will teach you a process that will attract the outcome of any situation, or to draw to you any item you can think of, through the powerful tool called the Written Manifestation Mock-up.
Mock-ups can be used to manifest a new relationship, a new job, or a new home, a new body image, travel, and vehicles. It is the “nuts and bolts tool” for manifesting your dreams.
- Part one: I will help you look at what really moves you in this lifetime and focus on one specific desire you are wanting now. Once you have identified what you want to work on in class, you will go home and create a written document based on the energy of what you want to match up with and manifest, using tools you have learned in the class.
- Part two: When you return to class, we take an in-depth look at what you have written, adding to it and reworking your manifestation mock-up until it reflects what your soul is calling to you.
- Part three: I will teach you how to release the manifestation mock-up into the Universe with a spiritual ritual of joyful anticipation, followed up with tools you will use in the attraction process of your daily life until you have manifested your dream.
IT WORKS!
This three-part Manifestation Mock-up class can be taken in person, in a group or via Skype. It also lend itself well to on-site workshops for retreats and women’s groups.

Who are your spirit guides?
You can have spirit guides, spirit animals, or both.
Spirit guides and spirit animals reside with each of us adding to our power and protecting us from illness or harm. Each animal spirit or spirit guide assists you so that illnesses or negative energy cannot affect you. The spirit also lends you the wisdom of its kind. For example, a wolf spirit will give you wolf wisdom, and lend you some of the attributes of wolf.
Spirit animals are also known as power animals because they bring special attributes and powers to the person they reside with. These animal spirits may appear as mammals, reptiles, insects or ocean creatures. Any living animal or plant can serve as a power animal or spirit guide. (Plants and trees can serve as plant spirit guides.)
The gifts that a particular power animal or spirit guide offers you are there to assist you with challenging or joyful life events. A particular power animal can come to help you with an issue that is very specific for you, so be open to the gifts it may be coming to share with you.
In many western cultures we are not taught to value our power animals or spirit guides or the gifts that they add to our life and the world around us.
I will help you see how easy it is to find your spirit guides and power animals.
This class will introduce you to your own personal power animals and spirit guides. Through guided meditation and then, through the use of tactile imagery, your spirit guides and spirit animals will show themselves to you.
This is a two-hour class and can be taken in person, in a group or via Skype. Also, this class lends itself well to on-site workshops for retreats and women’s groups.
