What inspired you to start Laughing Goddess International, and how does it reflect your vision for empowering women worldwide?
I had been interested in deeper spiritual teachings from childhood on. For 20 years, I taught both Kundalini Yoga and Vegetarian Cooking, becoming the Nutrition and Body Care Manager for Wild Oats Market, years later.
I knew that I would align my Holistic experience and even focus deeper on personal and spiritual growth with online classes and courses. When I considered what I might call this organization, I clearly received the name, Laughing Goddess International. My goal was and is to touch hearts and minds around the globe with the message of divine self-value, no-limitations, and the inherent beauty and power of the divine feminine as that force is expressed through every woman.
I now offer classes and programs that awaken every woman’s ability to create the life of her dreams through giving her the experience of her own power to create her world.
With 18 years of experience as a Kundalini Yoga teacher, how do you integrate the principles of yoga into your teachings at Laughing Goddess International?
The very word, Yoga, means “To Yoke” or to merge oneself with one’s highest divine aspect. Breath and visualization, along with the Force of Love are some of my very basic principles. Anyone with pure intention and a loving heart can do Yoga. I taught Chair Yoga for elders and the disabled while living in Florida for a while, and fun classes for children when I lived in California!
Yoga embodies the principles of mindfulness and conscious awareness. Each of my classes and courses embody the practice of these principles, along with a healthful and conscious lifestyle, releasing fears and limiting beliefs… transforming oneself from density to a lighter and higher frequency of mind, body and spirit.
What type of services do you offer?
I offer 2 of the books that I’ve written, a few simple songs that carry words that lift consciousness and open us to the living Beauty of our sacred mother Earth- Gaia.
I offer workshops and programs that assist the student in awakening to her own integral and divine nature… to be able to fully embrace Life, and to create her dreams and goals with ease, grace and joy!
I offer a one on one healing service that addresses each client’s awakening in a private session format. This is titled, “Whispers of Healing”.
As an author, what message do you hope readers take away from your books, and how do they tie into the mission of Laughing Goddess International?
I call, “White Buffalo and the Rainbow Warrior” Adventures in Spirit because it is truly one very intense and transformational period in my life that details my interactions with lovely and powerful Spirit-Beings. These lessons awaken my own sense of self-worth and a greater sense of life-direction and life-purpose within the context of both tears and laughter!
“Unveil Your Goddess Body” is a compilation of my nutrition teachings, along with some of my own experiences of each of many very popular diet plans from today. The reader can then gauge and determine her own “best” dietary menu for vibrant health. I include many yummy recipes from several food-plan approaches. Learn your own “Goddess Body Type” to learn how you can de-stress and excel in your life lessons and expansions!
Your background in nutrition and herbal training is impressive. How does your expertise in whole foods cooking contribute to the holistic approach of Laughing Goddess International?
I share my nutrition information and inspiration in the above book, “Unveil Your Goddess Body- the No-Sharve, No-Blame, Love-Your-Amazing-Self Food Guide that Ends Dieting Forever!”
As a visionary and healer, what do you see as the most significant challenges facing women today, and how does Laughing Goddess International address these challenges?
One viewpoint of the major transformation of all life on Planet Earth includes the changing ideals for women. We are still in the process of leaving fearful past-age beliefs behind that have limited the expression of who it is possible for us to become.
Many women have already spread their wings to become the rainbow colored, magnificent Butterfly, while others are in the cocoon stage of transformation of body, mind, emotion and Spirit!
As All of Life becomes more imbued with the divine Light that it Is, outdated roles and ideas become limits of a past and “completing” age that we are grateful to leave behind! Each will embrace her new being, identity and role in alignment with her own goals and beliefs.
